How to unlock the Color Me Impressed achievement in Battle Los Angeles - Definitive Guide
You must play an entire level in one sitting without stopping the session with death or checkpoint restart, etc... It doesn't matter what mission you choose to attempt this on, all of them are roughly 10-20 minutes long, and equally easy to accomplish. I would recommend, however, attempting this on the first mission, as it is both the tutorial level and intro level to the game. There are plenty of enemies, but if you manage your aim will (Enable Auto-Aim in the options menu) and use cover as often as you can, you will earn this achievement without any trouble. Most experienced FPS players will probably earn this their first try.
The achievement should pop at the end of the level you successfully completed without you having died, failed, restarted, or continued.
EDIT: Might add you need to choose start new campaign. Cannot choose a previously played checkpoint.

This achievement is really easy. You can do it on any mission, but try to do it on the first mission so you can get it out of your way. If you don't get it on the first mission, then try on the second or third. Don't bother restarting the mission because you will probably get the achievement on 1 of the 3 missions. The missions are relatively short so you should have no problem with this.
Tips
-Do NOT rush towards the enemies. Stay far back and behind cover. Use crouch to stay low behind cover and pop out when you are not injured to shoot enemies.
-Avoid hiding behind cars because they can blow up. If you need to hide behind a car, make sure it is not on fire.
-Try to go for head shots or torso shots
-When you are injured, hide behind cover until you are fully healed. To be on the safe side, hide behind cover BEFORE your screen goes black and white with read around the screen. This means that you are near death.
-When fighting the Alien Air Units with the Rocket Launcher, there is a good strategy to kill them faster. Right as they start charging their shot, shoot your rocket launcher at them. Reload and shoot again quickly as possible. You can sometimes get 2 shots off before waiting for them to charge again which makes the process go by twice as fast
-You can make the game even easier by turning Aim Assist "On". Go to Help & Options, then Settings, then Game Settings to turn on Aim Assist. Make sure you click to accept. This will make sniping much easier too. An effective way to cover Nants when ever you need to.
As the trophy says, you must complete a full mission on Normal difficulty without once failing or jumping into a checkpoint. If you play on Hard difficulty first, this is easy to obtain in a second Normal playthrough using your prior knowledge of the maps and enemy locations. If you need to start a new file to achieve this, the first mission ends once your squad has made it to the police station.
Note: This achievement must be done on Normal
This achievement is really easy. You can do it on any mission, but try to do it on the first mission so you can get it out of the way. The main thing is to stay back and NOT rush. If you are getting injured and are about to die (you screen goes black and white with red around it) stay low behind cover and wait until you heal. But try not to get that injured in the first place. Just stay behind cover for most of the level and use your Assault Rifle or Sniper Rifle. Try to avoid hiding behind cars because they can blow up. If you must hide behind them, make sure they are not on fire. The missions are relatively short so you should have no problem with this.
