This achievement is easier with a buddy, but possible to do solo.

I used the grunt birthday party and extra grenades skulls, because the headshot confetti explosion sets off grenades. This will make packs of grunts much easier to kill.

The Needler explosion is your friend when fighting tough enemies, especially brutes. If you stick 7 needles into an enemy, they will explode. It's an easy way to conserve ammunition. Keep in mind that the elite brutes that use grav hammers are immune to needles, as well as plasma grenades.

Overall, fight defensively. Use cover whenever you can, and don't be afraid to break off and retreat when things get heavy.
SicAndDisturbed I will completely agree with this review. However, i want to add that getting good with the BR is KEY, the BR is your friend... also, never use the sniper (covi or USMC) to take out grunts... unless you can kill 3 or more with a single shot... they aren't worth the ammo. Another tip that i have fount helpful is when using a rifle (BR or Covenant Carbine) and a sniper,if possible use the sniper rifle to shoot the Elites. This will either kill them or knock their armor off. If you do not head shot them (and simply destroy their armor) use the BR/Carbine to finish them off. Basically thats a long winded way of saying sniper ammo is to precious to waste on a kill that your other gun can get easily. I hope this helps...

PoppyGalaxy I got a question that goes to the game in general. Do the enemy keep re spawning if you don't push forward like in some areas in COD 4? Or not.

Hexxas Enemies generally don't respawn, although they might at some points. I'm not completely certain.
