How to unlock the Purple Heart achievement in Call of Duty 3 - Definitive Guide

The fastest way to do this with no doubt is....choose any mode,it doesn't matter wich will be...in any level...and just cook a grenade 20 times in your hand...over and over...you don't even have to move yourself or find a good spot to throw your grenade. Edit:because of a glitch that happens with a few players (as Apexeus in the message below) ill tell you to reach the first checkpoint to assure that will work if you tried in the beginning of the level but the chievo did not pop out...so you dont have to attempt several times.

Negative vote. Soloution is wrong, you MUST have passed a checkpoint in the mission you choose to do it on before killing yourself to get the achievement.

I wasted nearly an hour before i figured this out.

yea I'm with the other guy, if you killed yourself at the beginning of the mission for an hour and the achievement didn't pop, that's 100% on you. Don't go downvoting guides that don't cater to stupidity.

Hi Apexeus...first of all...you gave me thumbs down but at least you had the guts to put your name here giving me the chance to defend myself and ill tell you that not many people do this (they get hidden)...second and most important...the checkpoint issue that happened to you happens with a very few people from time to time thats why 23 positive and just 4 negative votes (23 cannot be crazy) and i heard that from some guys not so long ago...i was waiting for more info from more players to edit my solution since i wasnt sure about that checkpoint problem...that said all i can tell you is that my solution is not wrong and this is a glitch that occurs to very few people...i dont want to make anyone waste any time. I will edit my solution now just in case.

All you have to do to get thisone is die 20 times in any level. Play the game on Veteran difficulty and you'll get this one in no time.

In order to obtain this achievement you need to die 20 times during a mission. There are a couple of ways of doing this. The first one is to simply go to throw a grenade by don’t actually throw it (cooking the grenade). This will cause the grenade to explode in your hand and thus killing you. Simply repeat another 19 times and the ahievement will unlock. The more legitimate way is to simply start a career on the “Veteran” difficulty level and you will soon find yourself dieing more than 20 times (well I did anyway).

For the achievement to unlock you must die 20 time's and continue playing and it will pop. It's best done by cooking grenades to kill yourself 20 times and then finish the level or play on vetern and just get murdered at you will get this in no time.

I discovered a lazy method, but it does call for you to run through most of a level, so I recommend this only for people who need to finish "Night Drop" (3rd mission overall, first British mission). Right when you hop in the Vera Jeep for the 2nd time, just sit there and let the tank kill you over and over. You don't have to cook grenades or anything. The checkpoint loads up with you in the Jeep and the tank kills you automatically every time if you don't drive off right away. This popped for me right after my 20th death and checkpoint load, not at the end of the mission. After you get it, just drive off like you're supposed to, and finish the rest of the mission (if you need to).

Pick any level 2-14 and after your first check point just cook a grenade till it explodes in your hand killing you, repeat 19 more times and it should pop. I didn't finish the level it popped on the 20th death.

To get this achievement, you have to have died 20 or more times and then completed the level. Throw a grenade at your feet just after a checkpoint and do this 20 times, then finish the level.
