Annoying achievement 1: Gunsmith. My play through I could not upgrade my guns past level 5. Bull.
You can upgrade past 5 on the second playthrough. As soon as I saw the Council on the Citadel and went back and upgraded my gun and it popped straight away.
It keeps capping it though! I've done the first mission on mars. Finally get to my ship. Then I can only buy guns up to level 7. If you can tell I can't be asked to play through the whole game again. Don't have the time. I'd rather just do the killing in multi as at least I can play with mates etc.

Annoying achievement 2: Reach level 60 or 20 . Well I'm level 20 and no achievement for one. Plus I'm level 59 right at the end of the game but in the free roam I'm back to 57? WTF?
I've heard there has been some issues with this popping but getting to L60 on a second playthrough should do it.
Lucky I was not far off. After you get to the first mission it popped. But it should have been done already as I was level 20 on multi.

Annoying achievement 3: Hijack and Atlas - Never saw the option in the game but I have used one before.
Take out the pilot of an Atlas with a sniper rifle without destroying it. You can then walk up to it and hijack it. I got it on the last atlas in the game. Alternatively if you have some nice friends play against cerberus on MP and tell them not to destroy it. (There are some hints for this on the loading screens)
Thought so. But each time I've tried doing that the pilot doesn't die and it just blows up.

Annoying achievement 4: Veteran - Kill 5,000 enemies? REALLY? After whole playthrough with all side missions done and quite a bit of multi I'm at 2870.
A couple of playthroughs and some MP should do it. Bioware have been keen for everyone to play through the game twice since the first one. Annoying but not unexpected.
They have scaled playthrough achievements back with each game though. I was hoping to do one clean playthrough. I clocked the first one 3.5 times and honestly twice is enough by far.

It seems that there aren't enough war assets in the game to gain enough military strength to get the Achievement and best ending so you have to play multiplayer to bump up the Military Readiness.... Is it right that you can only get the Master And Commander achievement/trophy (and therefore the best ending) by playing multiplayer?
YES. You collect war assets in the single player. Your "Readiness" is mostly/if not completely earned in the multi-player Your final assault works out as whatever your war assets are say 100 and then the military readiness dictates how much of that you will actually use. So if your readiness is 50% your final war assets would be 50.
NO. You can also get 100% through playing the game on the iPad\iPhone. Datapad is free but slower. The other game is quicker but you have to pay for. I borrowed an iPad and got it in about 5 days.
Not everyone has an iPad/iPhone. But fair point. I checked after you mentioned and I saw there was a game (looked decent) but you had to pay and it was proper shooter/me phone game. I have to say I hate playing games on my phone like that. I got Dead Space on sale and I appreciate the technical feat but hate the controls. Without
feedback and the restrictions of a button it can just become a mess. Call me old fashioned.
Apparently you will be able to do it via single player on Xbox only in later DLC but it is technically possible to get 1000 without playing MP now
How much DLC is coming out? I know they are expanding the ending but well ... after that I've done everything. So my free roam is just stand there and wait for DLC
Having said that I have found MP to be very good and much better than most games (Probably as it is all PvE).
It has been decent fun. I saved it to the last min and got the ranking up. I kicked it up to 100% but I've heard 70% is fine for the best ending?
Alas I had a great time with it. These are just my gripes at the end. More on the ending .. latter.

I cant get into a multiplayer match on this AT ALL.And its not from lack of trying.
Xbox 360 or PS3? Never had troubles on the former. As I said I've played quite a bit and hosted. Always quick either way.
Thanks Anomaly and DJ Satan. I don't have a access to an iPad/iPhone, so can't play the ios games so I pushed the boat out and had a couple of multiplayer matches. It's actually surprisingly enjoyable, and doesn't seem to take too long to get your Readiness Rating up.
Anom, as far as I'm aware, it doesn't matter what Readiness Rating you have. As long as it's high enough to raise your EMS above the reported 4,000 threshold you get the best ending, you don't necessarily have to have a RR above 70% or any other amount

RE: Mass Effect 3 - 
.
). It's a web-comic strip which sets out how the ending should have gone. The first six or so strips are fairly weak-sauce, but stick with it because there are some awesome moements in it.
