I only ask 'cause I was just soloing a Normal game on Manor, got at least 3 Husk kills...and not a single one counted. Surely forfeiting after I was killed doesn't affect this?
If you're trying to get the christmas achievement, i have bad news for you.
Christmas achievements are locked after christmas, meaning you have to get them at the time and not later.
Heed my warning: Get used to this! KF have really broken and disorganized achievements.

I think the problem is that almost none of the other weapon achievements in the game (i.e. "Let Them Burn" or "Dot of Doom", etc.) are event-specific, and technically none of the new ones state that they are event-specific either. The "Burning Irony" achievement says to "Kill 15 Husks with the Husk Cannon", not "Kill 15 Christmas Husks with the Husk Cannon".
Other weapon achievements are event-specific though, like "That's not Santa!", which states that you must "Kill 3 Christmas Bloats with the Bullpup in one wave", or "Not so Silent Night: Kill a Christmas Siren with an undetonated LAW rocket."
None of the new weapons state that they are event-specific, so I think this is what's confusing to a lot of people.
I posted to this effect in the bug report forum.
I think that Tripwaire has endded the Xmas 2011 event as per usual but they either neglected to turn off all the achievements or forgot that they didn't name xmas zeds in the descriptions.
Right now you can earn the Xmas 2011 achievements as long as those achievements do not name a specific zed. For example meat pasta, love ze healin etc. It is my understanding that you cannot earn a named zed achievement becuase that achievement is assuming a Xmas zed, example burning irony, finish him, etc.
Hope this helps.
