Campaign
Difficulties are stackable on this game, and all difficulties are available right from the start. You will earn 3 for 75 for completing the campaign on Hard.

You will earn 7 for 175 by gaining a certain amount of points in each of the 7 campaign missions. The points range from 6,000-20,000 depending on the level. The points required here are generally quite easy to reach and the difficulty you play on or the time you take during a mission has no effect on the points you earn whatsoever. Points are solely dependent on getting various types of kills. Therefore it is better to play on Easy and take your time.
You will need to play the last level of the campaign at least 3 times through chapter select to experience all 3 story endings and unlock their corresponding achievements, this will earn you 4 achievements for 80.
6 out of the 7 campaign missions have a miscellaneous achievement to get kills in a certain way, these typically include C4, RPG, multi & headshot kills etc. which will net you 6 for 120.
Note: For some players, if you finish the game on Hard, the achievements for Easy & Normal may not unlock, you should replay the last level again but to a different ending on whichever difficulty you need to trigger the achievement for.

China Rising DLC
Abbreviated Walkthrough:
Welcome to the first of five expansion pack for Battlefield 4.

The Air Superiority game mode is back and five weapons make a return including the L85A2, L96A1, MP7, MTAR-21 & RPK-74M. The expansion also adds two new gadgets, the UCAV & SUAV as well as the addition of two vehicles, the Dirt Bike from the previous game as well as the new Bomber.

Each achievement can more or less be done in an hour each depending on your skill apart from the Assignments which can take anywhere upwards from 10hrs of gameplay. The assignments require a variety of actions to be taken, some more difficult than others such as gaining different ribbons, kills with air vehicles, weapons & gadgets as well as getting different types of weapon kills in a single round etc.
