Down Boy Down

Survive a dog attack

You can’t gain this achievement by shooting a dog. You have to let the dog jump on you, and press at the correct time. A button will show up on the screen, and you need to hit it before it goes away. If you hit it too early, the dog will bite your hand, and then your neck. If you do it too late, the dog will have already bitten your neck. The easiest place to do this is on the “All Ghillied Up” mission, at the first set of guards. Just alert the guards, then a group of 3 dogs will come running at you. Let one jump on you, and see if you can hit the button at the right time. If not, simply try it again until you get it right.

Editor Note: Depending on your controller setup, pushing the right stick down at the correct time will also get the achievement

New Squadron Record

Complete the cargo ship mockup in less than 20 seconds

Complete the test course in less than 20 seconds on the “F.N.G.” training mission. You don’t have to physically complete the course in less than 20 seconds; your accuracy bonus will be subtracted from your time to give you a final time. Use the gun you’re told to use for the first 3 targets, then switch to your pistol to improve your accuracy. The only time you shouldn’t be sprinting is when you are shooting the targets. Never try to reload, it slows you down; always switch weapons. You have as many attempts as you wish, so go through the course slowly until you have memorized where you have to throw flash grenades, as well as where targets pop up, and you should have this achievement in a few attempts.

Rescue Roycewicz

Save Pvt. Roycewicz on the stairs

On the “The Bog” mission, you will be instructed to head upstairs with Roycewicz after you have entered the building with night vision enabled. At the landing, Roycewicz will be attacked by an enemy. Simply kill this enemy in any way you wish, and you should get this achievement, so long as Roycewicz stays alive.

Your Show Sucks

Destroy all the TVs showing Al-Asad's speech

Destroy all of the TV’s broadcasting Al-Asad’s speech. The only mission you need to destroy the TV’s on is “Charlie Don’t Surf”. For help on the TV locations, head here:

Man of the People

Save the farmer

This is done on the “Hunted” mission. When you first come to a building, you should look out the windows and see a farmer being harassed by 3 enemies. To get this achievement, all you have to do is kill the enemies that are harassing him. NOTE: You MUST wait until Price gives the order to get rid of them, or you will not get the achievement.

Straight Flush

Kill 5 enemies with one shot while in the AC-130 gunship

This is done the “Death from Above” mission. Scout the area with the 40mm gun, then switch to the 25mm gun when you see a group to confirm that it there are 5 enemies in it. Switch to the 105mm gun, and blast the group. You have to lead the group, as it takes time to reach the ground, but you don’t need to lead by much. You should get this achievement instantly.

Ghillies In The Mist

Complete 'All Ghillied Up' without alerting any enemies

As this says, you must complete the level without alerting any enemies, on any difficulty. When you get to the first choice as you are standing next to the house, let him pass. At the second choice, when you have just taken out the patrol in the church tower, either option is fine. At the third choice, wait behind the bulldozer, and take out both enemies as they walk past you. From there, just be careful with the rest of the level, and you should be good to go.

Mile High Club

Sky dive to safety on Veteran difficulty

Possibly the hardest achievement in the game. You have to complete the epilogue on the veteran difficulty. I have no tips on this achievement, but this video will show you the only way to finish it on time:

No Rest for the Weary

Stab an injured crawling enemy

Simply find an enemy, take out your pistol and shoot at his feet or legs until he goes down and is crawling. Then quickly go up and stab him with your knife to get this achievement.

Deep and Hard

Complete the game on Hardened or Veteran difficulty

Complete the game on the Hardened or Veteran difficulty. If you want to save yourself some time, just go straight through the game on the Veteran difficulty, and you’ll knock off the Veteran mission achievements. TIPS: Know what you have to do next, keep a long and short range weapon, rely on your team, and use flash grenades!
