    The achievement description is slightly misleading.

    Go into "Matchmaking" and then select "Firefight", under the "Co-Operative" Playlist. You will matched with others and be put into a 4-player game for a 10 minute firefight game. Vote for the Sniper or Rocket gametypes, if possible. Once you get here, its pretty straight forward, basic, and easy. Kill the enemies until you amass 15,000 points AS A TEAM.

    Personally, I did it in the Rocket gametype, but from what Ive seen, most people get 15,000 easily in any gametype.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Some people have experienced problems with this achievement unlocking at 16,000 instead of 15,000!

    HumidTube35Is this still obtainable? There has been a fair amount of recent winners after the server shut down

    The best way to do that is to go into matchmaking, go to cooperative, score attack, and pick sniper mode. this mode gives all your weapons unlimited ammo if you not good with sniper no problem pick up something easy like the needler it unloads fast can hit your target even if they move and reloads fast. here is my history of the game i played getting it

    I got this achievement reasonably easily and I'm not even very good at Halo.

    Go to Score attack (in the co-op section of the playlists). You want to be playing 'score attack' (or it sounds like 'sniper attack' will also work as StarRoadWarrior mentioned).

    Ideally you want to be playing on Courtyard (I found this the easiest). If you don't get given the option of this map, just keep voting 'none of the above' and eventually you will be able to select it.

    You should start from the default location in the small room with the ammo store. Go out the top door and on to the walkway that runs along the side of the courtyard (having picked up extra ammo).

    For the grunt and jackal waves (1 and 2) I opted for the recon kit - as the DMR will headshot grunts etc. You get extra points for medals - e.g. headshots, double kills, killing sprees. Just be careful of any grunts with fuel rod guns jumping on top of the crates.

    Try to bait some of the grunts up on to the walkway and kill them there to give you a supply of plasma grenades (these are a quick and simple way to take down groups of jackals with shields and later brutes).

    Third wave is brutes, at this point I lured them back towards the room where you start as you can funnel them through the door making them easy prey for grenades (sticks are especially effective). If you die the Spectre kit is the best to use as the grenade launcher is a one hit kill on most Brutes and they are an easy target coming through the doorway (just be careful of any trying to come through the bottom entrance).

    By the end of this wave you should be at or close to the score target. The fourth wave has a bunch of fast-moving enemies so funnelling them into the top room is again quite effective (these guys aren't very bright when it comes to avoiding thrown grenades either). The fifth and final wave has tougher brutes, but if you make it this far you probably beat the required score already.
