These are tips that I use myself and they work to get the Firefight Scoring Achievements.
- Do it alone, don't waste time trying to find other people and don't have the risk of people quitting out, lagging out, or getting the red ring.
- This takes up to two hours, yes two hours. Instead of complaining about it, just find time on the weekends or something.
- Do it on Easy, don't try this on Normal. Turn on the Grunt Birthday Party and the IWHBYD Skull on, just for kicks.
- Only use the Chopper on Lost Platoon, do not bother with the Ghost on Last Exit or the Wriath on Security Zone. The Ghost is too hard to manuver and the Wraith trick doesn't work sometimes. Use the Chopper.
- Use the Noob Combo for the first four waves, the Noob Combo gives you extra points. On the boss wave get a Gravity Hammer.
- You will use the gravity the entire time. You will get hammer sprees and extra kill points. Once you get the medal for killing ten enemies in a row with a Hammer, you need to kill one enemy with something else. Then start the spree over again with the Hammer. During each wave, don't use the primary melee attack, instead use "B" attack. You need to save the primary battery for emergencies and Chieftians. You can decide what is considered an emergency.
- For a secondary weapon you will use a plasma pistol on maps with Engineers. You can destroy these with one charged shot. On maps without Engineers, you should have a Silenced SMG for Drones. If you have a map with both Engineers and Drones. Keep a Plasma Pistol and make sure you have a turret still intact.
- Do not be afriad to dettach a turret. The only time you should dettach a turret is for Drones. Simple as that.
- Always destroy Wriaths and Engineers first.
- Always destroy a Wriath by highjacking it from the front and meleeing it. This gives you the maximum points. Just do this instead of Lazering it or using gernades. It is important to do it from the front. If not, one of the Brutes will get out and fight you.
- When the Catch Skull is on the easiest thing to do is to just follow the previous advice. Plasma and Spiker gernades are easy to dodge.
- If you die, no big deal. If you fail, so what, try again. Have fun, it is just a game.
