After killing the first three enemies in the 2nd chapter you will come to some sort of bar. In the center of the room is a mounted machine gun. It is surrounded by a circular table. Kill all of the enemies except for the machine gunner. Cover behind the circular table and vault over it when the Circle (PS3) / B (X360) Button is displayed. It’s recommended to play on the easiest difficulty. The machine gun will probably kill you otherwise.
Preventive Diplomacy
Kill an enemy just as they are throwing a grenade. (campaign only)
Location: Chapter 2
The perfect opportunity to get this is in chapter 2. After fighting through a building, a short cutscene will begin to play and after that you are walking through a damaged corridor. At the end of the corridor you will see an enemy running down a little hill. Do not shoot this enemy! Take cover in the corridor and you will see how the enemy pulls out a grenade. Shoot him immediately. This is a scripted event and the enemy will always try to throw a grenade! Reload the last checkpoint in case you need to try it again.
Army of One
Kill 3 enemies with a single grenade. (campaign only)
Location: Chapter 2
After fighting through a building in chapter 2, a short cutscene will begin to play and after that you are walking through a damaged corridor. At the end of the corridor you will see an enemy running down a little hill. Do not shoot this enemy! He will throw a grenade and group up with two other enemies near a mounted machine gun. Once all three enemies are grouped up you throw the grenade. Reload the last checkpoint in case you need to try it again.
Damn Close
Kill an Edged Weapon Expert while he is up to 5 meters away. (campaign only)
Location: Chapter 5
About halfway through chapter 5 you will come to a sandy rooftop. The rooftop will start to crumble and you will fall to a lower level. After you are back on your feet the first edged weapon expert will spawn (this is the earliest chance to get the trophy / achievement). He has a knife in his right hand and is running towards you very quickly. Hide behind a cover in front of your teammates and shoot the weapon expert when he is nearby. Restart the checkpoint if you need to try it again.
Close Combat Carnage
Kill 4 enemies with a shotgun in 10 seconds or less. (campaign only)
Location: Chapter 6
In the very beginning of chapter 6 you can pick up a shotgun. When the chapter starts move right and you will see it on the ground, next to a box of frag grenades. In this area you will have to fight lots of enemies. Quickly take out 4 enemies with your shotgun. Replay this chapter on the easiest difficulty if you have trouble.
The Human Factor
Kill an enemy by tagging him with a sticky grenade. (campaign only)
Location: Chapter 7
In the area where you encounter the first group of enemies is a weapon box with sticky grenades. It’s in the sand, in front of an orange car. Open it to get some sticky grenades. If you move slowly and hide behind cover the enemies won’t notice you. Throw a sticky grenade at one of the still standing soldiers and wait for the explosion.
Reload the checkpoint if you run out of grenades.
