if wrong location, please move (and let me know where to please) ok, as I have mentioned before, the comp I am on right now sucks, and I will not be playing multiplayer......so I am stuck trying to get ALL the single player achievements, campaign and custom. if I play through the campaign on normal, and I get that achievement, then I go to the mission archive screen and play each mission on hard, (without starting a new campaign) will I get the hard achievement....same thing for brutal. I am currently going through on hard, getting all the mission achievements, one or two, I had to beat on hard to get the ones requiring playing on hard for this or that achievement, then on normal for the other one (zero hour is a good example....played on normal to kill the 4 hatcheries) when I finish, will I get the hard achievement since I will have beaten every one on hard? if not, if I play through on brutal, will I get the achievements for normal and hard? (some of the custom achievements are like that.....i.e. the 1v7 insane, if you do that, then you get the 1v7 very hard, and the 1v7 hard achievements.
Regarding all your questions, the answer is pretty much this: Blizzard has made achievement earning as easy and fun as possible. Doing missions from the mission archive on harder difficulties will earn you those achievements. Getting an achievement on insane that can be done on multiple difficulties will score you all of those achievements.
ok if you have managed the zero hour kill all for hatcheries achive then i hate you i have spent countless hours replaying that mission if anyone can offer me a good strat for this i would be greatful
mass marines. two bunkers at your choke points, fill with rines, SCV behind each one. double up your turrets. make 4 barracks, one with tech, 3 with reactor. pump out as many medics as gas allows, and as many marines as you have left over minerals do not forget to to get engineering bay upgrades, and keep up with your supply depots. attack teh group of three nexus's to the left first. they get alot harder to kill late in the game (more units swarming out of there, and more spine crawlers as well)
Zergs have Nexus? I always hit the Zergs on the right first and end up needing to kill Nydus worms so they can't bring in reinforcement. Think I'll try it your way next.
Basically, just play defense while you mass up more and more marines. When you rescue the final group of stranded marines, that's when your army is strong enough to move out to destroy hatcheries. But you have to do it fast, because as the mission progresses further, the zerg will start getting huge swarms of units which will eventually overwhelm your "hatchery hunting" army.
sorry, good catch, hatcheries been playin missions against toss lately tryin to get those achievements. the army I wet hatchery hunting with contained 40 marines and 10 medics. and I ry t attack around the 10 minute mark, if not early.
