It's kinda the same for everyone. After a year of playing the game, I just got the acheivement when burning down a mob that was attacking a teammate. He died before I could save him fully but as soon as the ZEDs starting eating the corpse, they died, and I got the achie.

I suggest you play the game for fun. Don't be even THINKING about the achievments.

Indeed, its the last achievement i need and its so utterly broken. I just don't get what the hell you have to do to get them to eat a dead player. I even tried being halfway across the map when he died to Xbow them...

Oh and then earlier today i joined a couple of noobs on Hard and while waiting to join 1 of them died while the other was backed into a corner and 6 specimens got down to eat him 5 metres from the teammate...

It is one of the hardest achievements you can get because they stop eating if you shoot them, if you're too close to them etc.
It also appears to be glitched. More often than not do your kills not count.

The key thing to remember with this achievement is that everyone has to be out of line of sight when the victim dies. Specimens will only feed if they can't acquire a new target. (N/B: This includes welded doors.) Plus, damaging a specimen causes any nearby specimen with no target, including itself if applicable, to attempt to switch targets to you, so you'll need to either bring a weapon that'll kill them in one hit (explosives are good), or do something extra cheesy like sniping their ankles around a corner (as long as there aren't any others standing around nearby that can still see you).

If you have any qualms about farming achievements, you should probably let them go for this one. Its conditions are such that you'll never accrue any points for it during normal play on a competent team; outside of deliberate setups, said conditions are only ever met when people are either AFK or running around like headless chooks.

From the time I started actually trying to get the achievement (3 months ago), I noticed it was at 4/10. Now, 3 months later, it's at 6/10, after letting more than a few 'innocent bystanders' die and throwing ****tons of grenades at one little group of munching clots. So I've decided to give up and get it when I get it.

TWI could at least fix up the requirements. As obvious as they sound.

Grenades make them stop eating instantly you know.
Try something that doesn't take 3 seconds to kill them :p

I did not know that...had I known I would've just sprayed SCAR all over their faces. I kind of just throw and run away, you know? Some say it's cowardly, but I say it's a tactical retreat.

Dignity for the Dead was my last achievment, it was a bastard to get. The thing is definitely glitched, what I did was I went on a doom2 map server with a friend and used the flamethrower to spray down crawlers when he died. Of course you have to like.. Hide or the specimans will come after you instead of eating. I also heard that the original weapons worked better.
