How to unlock the Ship Shape achievement in Call of Duty: Black Ops II - Definitive Guide

To unlock this achievement you must call in the available reinforcements, which is done by saving the USS Obama with allied help at the end of the Odysseus mission.

Note : This is a sequenced achievement. This means you must do it on your first playthrough or use mission rewind. Replaying levels will not work as the achievement spans multiple levels.

1. Complete all strike force missions. This will enlist the help of various countries. For example, Russia joins you and not the SDC. The strike force mission 'Second Chance' is not required for completion.

2. At the end of the Odysseus mission, you must shoot Briggs in the leg and let him live. He will then activate the ships defence systems.

The achievement should unlock at the end of the mission.

It appears the Defalco and Farrid choices do not effect this achievement, although, if you kill Df and save Farrid you will also obtain the Good Karma achievement.
Any questions, or alterations, let me know in the comments.

And why the negative votes without commenting why...this is exactly how you earn the achievement. No point writing solutions if everyone votes negative for no reason.

If Farid chooses to kill Harper, it seems that Admiral Briggs will be there instead, and you must still shoot him in the leg. Then he will re-activate the defences.

I'm sure.

Good karma is all about saving karma. But second chance is exactly that, a second chance to save karma. If you save her the first time by killing df, you can't save her again in second chance. if you don't kill df, by all means complete second chance to still get it.

So as long as you kill df, you'll get good karma as well.

I didn't vote neg as its fine but id suggest changing step 2 to state Harper or Briggs. I've done the mission 2x, once killing Harper and once farid in the previous mission and both times I've had Briggs at this point

Oops step two is meant to say Briggs. Nice spot.

And whether you shoot Harper or farid, Briggs always will be there. But for the good karma I think you only get it if farid is there.

Saying you can't do this by replaying levels is incorrect. I just went through doing random levels on veteran and popped this just fine. The only decision I made I can see that would possibly have any relation to this was I killed harper in the previous level. But yeah, random mission play popped this.

Then you luckily made the correct choices :)

Mission rewind is the only way to do it without resetting all data. Mission replay will only work if you already made the right choices before the point at which you replayed.

You may have gotten a few negative votes because you did not state the level in which you "rewind story."

Rewind isn't needed. And if you do mess up, I state the choice is made in the Odysseus level.

I have completed every mission, done the Strike Force Missions but it says I have failed the Strike Force objective. I cannot rewind the Strike Forces....do I have to redo the whole story?

Played all Strike Force missions, shot Briggs in the leg, killed Harper, and this didn't pop.

My Strike Force mission objective says failed as well. The only thing I can think of is the first time I played the Second Chance Strike Force, I failed because I tried to do it in Tactical View only. Karma was not in Odysseus and it says I lost Karma to the enemy despite replaying the mission and doing all the challenges on it. Would that be why? I'm guessing I have to rewind all the way back to the mission with Karma in it, let her escape, and pass the Strike Force first try to fix this?

Yes. Replays do not overwrite previous choices, you need to rewind before the choice was made then make it again correctly.

I'm confused on this one. I've done the rewind story, and have completed all the strike force missions. Then when I select continue campaign and play through, my career record says I've "failed" those even though I completed them. What am I missing?

I read on here for the Good Karma achievement that you need to complete STRIKE FORCE "Second Chance" for the achievement. Are you sure that you don't need to? Here's the link

*Missable trophy*

To make this trophy possible, you have to complete all 5 Strike Force Missions before starting Mission 9 "Odysseus". During Mission 9 you will have to decide whether to shoot Briggs in the leg or kill him. You have to shoot him in the leg! If you’ve successfully done the Strike Force Missions, then the Ship Shape trophy will unlock after “Odysseus” is over. If you've missed any of these steps then you can still rewind the story in mission selection by pressing . However, if you make use of this option you will have to choose "continue story" and play all upcoming mission again.

For this achievement, you have to complete all Strike Force missions before the level Odysseus. I suggest you complete them as soon as they unlock for you as you only have a set amount of missions you can complete before they go away. Once you are on the level Odysseus, you need to shoot Briggs in the leg. Finish the level and the achievement is yours.

First, go through all the strike force missions after starting the Odysseus mission.

In the Odysseus mission, shoot Briggs in the leg and at the end of the mission you will receive an achievement/trophy.
