In order of importance:
- Play through the game on hard
- Use a poster/target guide to get all 10 items
- Complete any scenario [I never came across one that was unrealistic]
- Kill people in the most "stylish" way [Headshots/Assists/Counterkills/Combos]
Following the above, especially the first two, should net you the gold medals without too much trouble.
