Guitar Hero 5

I think we have had enough of the multiple bad guides for unlocking this achievement.

So here's my in-depth guide on how to unlock this achievement. I will go through all the steps I did. This guide will make sure you unlock this achievement!

1. Make sure you have played a few songs in "Career Mode" by yourself, and with a few friends on Xbox Live.

2. Play a few songs in "Quickplay" by yourself, and with a few friends on Xbox Live.

3. Play each of the online "Competitive" game modes, which are:
-Pro Face Off
-Team Pro Face Off
-Rock Fest
-Team Pro Rockfest
-Band vs Band

"Some people say you only have to play a online 'Band vs Band' match, and you can do skip the rest and go to step four."

But just in case do all of step three, it doesn't take long anyway.

4. Get three friends that play the same instrument as you are currently playing and invite them to your "Competitive" party. After they are in your party, press start instead of the orange fret that you use to look for matches online.

Alternative: You could also hook up four of the same instrument and sign three of them in as guests. If you do this there is no need to invite three friends.

5. This takes you to a list of game types. Play them all, the team ones and the non-team ones! With the exception of Band vs Band, I didn't need this to acquire the achievement.

6. If you don't have the achievement yet go in and play some more Rockfest or Team Rockfest online, that might help. Just to be safe I would play all the online game modes at least twice.

When did my achievement unlock?
Well I was stuck, couldn't get it to unlock, I played all the online match types, and I played Rockfest and team Rockfest a thousand times.

My solution was to invite three friends and do what I said in steps four and five. My achievement unlocked after I went through that list with three of my friends!

Here is a complete list from ssmaster69er's solution, thank him:

Career
Quickplay
Band vs Band
Pro Face-off
Team Pro Face-off
Momentum
Team Momentum
Streakers
Team Streakers
Do or Die
Team Do or Die
Elimination
Team Elimination
Perfectionist
Team Perfectionist

You don't have to WIN any of these matches not even the elimination matches, I let my friends win them all when we where boosting and it still unlocked. I didn't even hit notes most of the songs we did, so you can chill and cook some corn dogs while the song is playing!

Thanks to BaldyGamer for pointing this out to me. This came from oxHARMONxo over at x360a.org. I removed a lot of stuff that didn't need to be in here to make it simpler.

I'm going to make this short and sweet. I can confirm this will work 100% of the time because I have helped several friends obtain this on different occasions and they all got it immediately after the last step was complete.

*The #1 reason people can't unlock this is because you have to play the different types in a certain order and none of the other guides state this.*

1. Make sure you have played at least one song in Career and Quickplay by yourself and online with a friend.

2. Invite at least 1 of your friends to your lobby, DO NOT search for players.

3. Hit Start and play these in the exact order listed.

Pro Face Off
Momentum
Streakers
Do Or Die
Perfectionist
Elimination
Rock Fest

4. After those are complete go back to the lobby, hit Start and do the Team ones but make sure they are in the same order as the ones you just did.

*NOTE* Unlike what some people have said it doesn't matter if you back out to the lobby by mistake or lose connection to another player. Just make sure you replay the game type if this happens so you don't skip anything and have to redo everything. You don't even have to win, just make sure each instrument plays at least one note.

5. Chances are the Achievement will unlock after you play Team Rockfest but don't worry if it doesn't. Just set up a standard band [mic, guitar, bass and drums] and hit search for players if you don't have enough to make a 4 person band vs 4 person band. The achievement will unlock at the end of the song, guaranteed. Good luck and I hope this helps the many people having trouble with this!

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!

Turns out you need to score in each and every game you play.

I would also recommend you WIN the elimination game types.

Here is the list of each game type:

Career
Quickplay
Band vs Band
Pro Face-off
Team Pro Face-off
Momentum
Team Momentum
Streakers
Team Streakers
Do or Die
Team Do or Die
Elimination
Team Elimination
Perfectionist
Team Perfectionist

I went through the whole list again, this time played OFFLINE and I used 4 mics and did not log in my other 3 controllers.

I went down the list and played each game type.

I made sure I scored on each game.

And after team elimination it unlocked!!!!!!!!1

BAND VS BAND is the only mode that is required to be played ONLINE.

There are A LOT of misleading solutions here. All saying very conflicting and different methods of getting the achievement. Other than saying "do this my way and you'll win" I'm simply going to roughly outline how myself and 3 others got the achievement step by step; as other solutions have done. We did look into a lot of variables / open questions left from other solutions and aimed to answer those too. If you've read other solutions and you're simply reading another (this one) then take note of these key points:

BAND VS BAND IS REQUIRED.
- Regardless of other solutions mentioned, on a brand new save file that we tried, it required Band vs Band. THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE STANDARD BAND VS STANDARD BAND. However, it may be advised if you're going for Rocktopus achievement at the same time.

ROCKFEST / TEAM ROCKFEST ARE GAME TYPES.
- When playing these, you choose another game type to play, Do or Die, elimnation ect. all other game types that we needed to play to get the achievement. To be on the safe side, we played whatever was chosen in the rock fest as an individual game type too.
- - EXAMPLE: "Rockfest -> Elimination is chosen -> Play the song." This ticks the Rockfest game type, but we assumed that it did not tick the Elimination game type and thus afterwards, or whenever we came across it in our list, we played "Elimination -> Play the Song".

Finally, those struggling to get a Band vs Band game set up, the lobby holds 8 players, with one band being named under the others but fully viewable via the Yellow / Y menu.

Gametype list we played in this order:
-Quickplay
-Career
-Pro Face Off
-Team Pro Face Off
-Rock Fest
-Team Rockfest
-Momentum
-Team Momentum
-Streakers
-Team Streakers
-Do or Die
-Team Do or Die
-Elimination
-Team Elimination
-Perfectionist
-Team Perfectionist
-Band vs Band



As a Side note, on a previous save file of mine, I had completed Band vs Band previous to playing the other game types and the achievement did not pop. From this, I would put good faith in the solutions, as well as my own here, that Band vs Band should be played last.

PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU GET IT GLITCHED / DON'T UNDERSTAND / CONFUSED BY ALL THESE SOLUTIONS. I shall aim to answer and help as much as I can in the comments, however, I shall not help with getting the achievement in boosting sessions unfortunately.

Even though i find all the other solutions great, i have to add something.
I don't know if the update has fixed this maybe, but i didn't have to play Band vs Band the last.

i started with this list, hoping that i will not have to play Band vs Band again (i played it already 2-3 times while getting other achievements) :

-Quickplay
-Career
-Pro Face Off
-Rock Fest (any type)
-Momentum
-Streakers
-Do or Die
-Elimination
-Perfectionist
-Team Pro Face Off
-Team Rockfest
-Team Momentum
-Team Streakers
-Team Do or Die
-Team Elimination
-Team Perfectionist
-Band vs Band

when i finished Team Elimination , achievement popped up , without having to play Team Perfectionist or Band vs Band again (as i said, i played them before )

btw, my friend came by with his guitar, that way we had four of them, and we did it all locally (except Band vs Band , that I said i finished before)

All other guides claim ''do it my way or else'' but me and a friend figured out why some gamemodes do not count.

For the 2 player modes ( all non team ones ) you need to ensure at the end of the song it says ''your gamertag wins'' not ''player 1 wins". If you see player 1 wins that mode does not count. So proceed through all game modes listed in any order, band v band DOES NOT have to be done last. One thing that may or may not count against you is if at the end of the song it says quit to menu and not return to setlist, I replayed those modes in case to get return to setlist. You also do not need to score any points in any mode.

The modes needed are:
Quickplay
Career
Pro Face Off
Rock Fest (any type)
Momentum
Streakers
Do or Die
Elimination
Perfectionist
Team Pro Face Off
Team Rockfest
Team Momentum
Team Streakers
Team Do or Die
Team Elimination
Team Perfectionist
Band vs Band

I just did the following game types online without playing them before (except Quickplay/Career):

Quickplay
Career
Pro Face-off
Team Momentum
Momentum
Team Streakers
Streakers
Team Pro Face-off
Team Elimination
Elimination
Team Perfectionist
Perfectionist
Team Do or Die
Do or Die
Team Rockfest
Rockfest
Band vs Band

The achievement unlocked right after playing Band vs Band along with the BvB cheevo.
