Five Easy Achievements: Modern Warfare 3

Hey there everybody!

Achievements! Everybody loves achievements, especially Hunters, and here, I'm going to point out 5 Easy achievements for those who are having a few troubles getting them. Whether you're new to the francise or just having a bit of difficulty, this will definitely help you out!

***WARNING - SPOILERS AHEAD***

1: Strike!
20 Gamerscore
Requiring you to kill 5 enemies with a grenade, in either Campaign or Special Ops, there are a few simple tricks that can help you get this. In the mission "Eye of The Storm", you'll have your chance to throw a grenade at a large group of enemies all massing around a statue in the middle of a courtyard. You'll recgonise the area as Captain Price appears overhead on a roof atop an apartment on the opposite side of a street.
Otherwise, in Special Ops, pick any map that you like, wait till about Round 5 and then head for a corner of your map with decent cover (A random car nearby will help extremely) and wait. As soon as you see 5 + enemies come close to you, cook your grenade and throw!

2: Jack The Ripper
20 Gamerscore
This achievement is quite easy, asking you to knife 5 enemies in a row either in Campaign or Special Ops. A warning! Using a pistol with a Tactical Knife won't get you the achievement. It has to be the average melee. The easiest Campaign mission to achieve this would be "Mind The Gap", in which you'll eventually have to reveal your position to a group of enemies below you. You'll slide down and then attack. The enemies here sent to singulate themselves from each other, making it much easier to knife them and not be killed from behind. In Special Ops, best to just start the game and knife your enemies as they come. The weaker they are, the easier it'll be to unlock this achievement.

3: What Goes Up...
20 Gamerscore
Simply, in the mission "Persona Non Grata", you must shoot down all the helicopters while using the UGV's grenade launcher. Even the one bullet from your machine gun wont count! Doing this twice was my mistake.
As you take control of the UGV Turret, waste as much bullets on your foot enemies. Take your time and move through the area at your own pace. When any helicopter appears (Don't forget about the ones that drop troopers), aim slightly above the target and let loose!

4: This Is My Boomstick
20 Gamerscore
While using the XM25 during "Black Tuesday", this achievement requires you to take out 30 enemies with it. Try not to use the weapon until you come to an area in a bank, overlooking some enemies down below. Dispatch those first, then switch to the XM25, as more shall appear in the hole in the wall. Keep shooting as they appear. Head outside and continue killing them. If you run out of ammunition. Finish off the rest of the hostiles and head towards your marker and use the ammunition crate to restock. Continue on and you'll be in the heart of Wall Street. As you move through it and begin to occupy it (See what I did there?), keep killing the enemies inside and the achievement will pop!

5: Flight Attendant
20 Gamerscore
SECRET ACHIEVEMENT! I've been slightly surprised to how many people I've seen without this achievement, then again, many fans of the francise only bother with Multiplayer these days. This achievement requires you to kill all 5 hostiles during the Zero-G moment of the Campaign mission "Turbulence".
All you need is a steady hand and control your trigger finger, and as the the sequence begins, take control and let your AI movements be able to kill the 5 enemies. Controlled bursts should kill them easily. To know if you failed to unlock the achievement. After the sequence, any alive hostiles will move and then be shot by another person. At this, quickly reload the last chapter, as there is a checkpoint right after this. If not, you'll be forced to restart the mission all over again.

So there you go! Five simple 20G achievements for an easy 100 Gamerscore added to your account. There are alot more that are pretty easy for those who wish to try unlock them. Hopefully this helps out!
And, as always, have fun and game on!
