Red Faction: Guerrilla

Scoring this achievement is as simple as the description in the achievement depicts it.

Play 250 matchmaking games. So sit back, relax and enjoy the game.

Remember all you boosters out there, this achievement is for Matchmaking games, so custom games do not count towards this achievement.

Try and find the game type that goes fastest and is the most fun for you (personally I like to play standard Anarchy).

A valid point that 'Dog of Thunder' made:
Keep in mind as well that you don't get credit for the match until you get the +10 XP Match Finish bonus. Leaving a match at any time before you get the bonus will cause it to not count.

Games Played, Games Won & XP while you sleep or work

First, you REQUIRE a turbo controller.

For this achievement you are required to play MATCHMAKING games, and not custom games. Join a 'Team Anarchy' game session. This game type is made of primarily randoms (who seem not to be using mics) and requires 6 out 8 people to ready up.

Turbo the button, rubberband the in any direction and turn off the tv.

Wake up to find:

The number of games played/won depend on the actual players playing. In my first night (8 hours), I got 2600 XP, 44 games played, 18 games won. Not bad for a good sleep! This game type awards XP for your team mate's kills. (I am not sure if these kills counts towards your 5000 kills, I will update if it does).

I wouldn't suggest playing other playlists. I was disconnected because the hosts left the game both times I attempted this.

You should be able to get this at the same time as you get the winning 250 games achievement. As quit out games do not count.

To boost:

1. You should designate two leaders for the session.
2. The leader should quite out after 10 seconds and send a party invite to the group. The quiting out team should accept that invite.

This helps to shave off time and making other people responsible for paying attention.

Rinse and repeat.

I found that Matchmaking games are easier to win when everyone is communicating & working together, so I suggest playing Damage Control matches. Plus the added XP from repairing and destroying Control points will contribute to the other XP achievement.

If your team wins the match and you have players who aren't part of your matchmaking party, you can quickly invite them to join your matchmaking party during the post-match screen. Doing this will net you the good players and together everyone can work towards finishing this achievement.

Strategies to winning Damage Control:
Holding the Control Point (CP): Plant proximity mines either around the CP, especially in chokepoints where the opposing teams have to approach. One strategy I love is to plant the proximity mines ON the CP itself, you do this by facing the CP, kneel and plant the proximity mine. Most enemy players don't check and just rush in, thinking it is safe to hammer the CP or using the Rhino backpack but their first strike would usually detonate the proximity mine, killing themselves and usually the CP is still left standing, albeit in critical condition. Of course you'll be nearby, hopefully cloaked and able to repair the Control point and replant the proximity mine.

Some may think this is camping, but I actually suggest after reparing the CP to assist your party to capture other CPs and leave nice presents for the opposing team when they come to destroy your CP.

Using this strategy you buy time for your team to either capture more CPs and deny the opposing team of the CPs you hold, thus ensuring that your team plays and wins the match.
