How to unlock the Close Quarter Combatant achievement in Call of Duty 3 - Definitive Guide

This achievement is best done on level 2 (The Island) on EASY. Just don't shoot, anytime you need to take someone out from long range, use your frag grenades. As mentioned in the comments do NOT use smoke grenades when going for this achievement.

You can also get the other weapon achievements at the same time, as soon as you see the achievement unlocked, reload last checkpoint and fire the appropriate weapon and complete level again, repeat to get all.

Is this achievement glitched? I did exactly what was said in this guide and I didn't get this achievement. I used frag and smoke grenades. I'm going to try again but this is a bullshit achievement.

I didn't get it on the first couple attempts, but it popped the next time. Just don't use smoke grenades. That was the only difference between my attempts.

I forgot I could use grenades, so I didn't use anything but melee on easy and it was still very doable. The AI teammates do a good job of clearing up stuff enough to go in and melee, and you can avoid most tough stuff depending on your hiding skills. :)

So also this achievement is pretty buggy. This has worked for me twice now. You can fire a mounted gun and the achievement won't recognize it as an actual gun, that way, if needed, you still shoot

I used melee only and didn't unlock the achievement. It's definitely buggy.

Didn't unlock for me either. Tried two different missions without a shot. (Used ONLY frag grenades, nothing else.)

I did this one using melee, hand grenades, smokes and even the mortar.

I tried this, but got Conservationist, Battlefield Scavanger and American Infantryman instead. Didn't fire a single shot, and only went with melee and frag kills, yet I still didn't get the achievement. Think it's bugged...

Really great guide!

I just wanted to mention that there were instances where the AI would get into position but because I was ahead of 'em, I'd somehow get stuck. It didn't always last, but once I had to restart.

Not a big deal, just something to keep in mind I'd say.

I found the best level for this achievement was lv3.It's realitively easy to just melee and throw frags.Just remember to sprint alot.

Though level 2 is better for the weapon achievements.

You cannot sprint in the single player actually, Call of Duty 3 only allows you to sprint in multiplayer.

Level 3 "Night Drop" was pretty easy for this achievement. Just find cover and let your buddies do the killing and advance forward and repeat. In the buildings you can do quite a bit of melee's to speed up the process as long as your careful. Grenades are fine to use for this achievements. Mainly for the Flak88's that has numerous soldiers around it distracted.

Try getting this on the second level, 'The Island'. Use the butt of a rifle as it takes out the enemy with one hit, and make use of hand grenades when there is more than one enemy to take down.You can do this on any difficulty, but obviously its easier on Easy.

We set the difficulty level to easy and go through the butt and grenades do not count

It is better to go through the second level, since further on in the game there will be many more enemies with machine guns. Your allies will help you a lot, don’t rush and don’t rush ahead, let the bots mow down the bulk of the enemies and finish off the remaining ones with your rifle butt.
