'The One Free Bullet' description is wrong
Due to the merging of the episodes into Half Life 2, all of the original episodes' achievements have naturally came with them to Half life 2.

All of the Episode 1 & 2 achievements have their descriptions refer to their respective games or episode specific content, except for The One Free Bullet!

The achievement description still refers to Episode 1 as 'the game' as if it's still a separate game on steam, entirely ignoring Half Life 2 and Episode 2 (which may mislead new players).

This is such an insanely minute detail yet I'd like to inform people anyway since I haven't seen anyone mention it yet.

+1 You wouldn't want someone to try this challenge on the main game, only for the achievement not to trigger

Good catch! I wouldn't have noticed that in my life, but for a new player, it would be pretty confusing to see that, not realising it only applies to Episode One.

Good call. Stay sharp.

To confirm which game the achievements are for, make sure to select the game from the Main Menu and click Achievements there. E.g. for Half-Life 2, this only shows the achievements for Half-Life 2, not the episodes.

EDIT: "Think fast!" and "Zombie-que" only apply to Episode 1... and "Hot Potat0wned" only applies to Episode 2

I just tried to unlock "Hot Potat0wned" in the base game and it didn't work. I agree that the achievements should say what episode you should unlock them in. Or better yet, make it so all the episodes can unlock achievements like this.

Valve, please fix.

Yeah, I just spent a good 10 or 15 minutes trying to coax a soldier's dumb*** AI into throwing a grenade at me that I could throw back at him. Finally pulled it off and then realized that Hot Potat0wned is still exclusive to Episode 2 even though the episodes and their achievements were merged with the main game. Very infuriating.

I was honestly wondering about that before my two remaining brain cells put 2 and 2 together and remembered the original chievos.
New players will have a hard time figuring that out though.
