How to unlock the Band of Brothers achievement in Crysis 2 - Definitive Guide

Edit: Added a working link.

The first major battle on Semper Fi or Die is where you will need to get this achievement. It occurs around the statue of liberty up to the building you seek cover in mid-level.
All four soldiers you start out with need to survive. The 5th and 6th that you encounter just after the statue of liberty are of no importance.

Once the level starts and the pistol is handed to you, stay on the left side to pick up a demolition scar to increase your firepower.

Some tips:

- Replay the mission on easy/normal
- Do NOT use cloaking, you'll want to attract attention while having maximum armor up
- Take note of the blue dots and make sure there aren't any ceph close to it
- Scout ahead, don't stick with the other marines. Make sure you kill as much as possible in advance
- At the same time, don't go too far, you'll want to keep an eye out on your team
- If you have all four alive after a checkpoint and lose one afterwards, you can simply reload the checkpoint and still gain the achievement.

Finally popped it, oddly enough on my Super Soldier play through and I didn't even try for it. I had done this on Recruit 5x and had no luck. lol

i can confirm that if you have all four after a checkpoint, and then lose one, you can reload the checkpoint and still get the achievement.

Yup. Same happened to me. As long as all four survives 'till the "safe-room", it will pop. Thx for the guide:)

Just a side note: After I cleared out the aliens, there was one marine on the machine gun turret, the rest of the marines were in the building. I threw a grenade near the marine and he got off the turret (make sure you don't throw the grenade directly at him). He should proceed inside the building with the others. That's why I didn't get my Achievement because of that one marine.

This is such a pain in the arse to do, hardest thing was to stop them killing themselves or trying to tank it and run forward. Just make sure you have all of them still alive when you hit the checkpoint

Just use armor and tank them all on recruit. Should be enough.

Sampson dies & Chang bleeds out. This seems to always happen no matter what. Chino & then 3 others are your responsibility. The other 3 are nameless, even if you mark them on your tac. Very easy to do. Just Sampson & Chang were giving me a headache until I realized that dying is their job in the game.

Sampson is the 5th soldier and as far as I know, he always ends up dead, just like the 6th on the cliff on the right side.
They may be rescueable, but just stick to your original 4 you start the level with... :)

Get a better gun then go down to the bottom and protect the guy on the turret.

When you get through killing all the aliens go into the building you should have 4 guys with you and achievement should pop. The below video really helped me. I got the achievement no problem after trying it this way.

refer to this youtube video for further advice.

Ok this will sound crazy but I just got the achievement on supersoldier difficulty.

What I did was run as far ahead as possible and even tried to enter the checkpoint room, but it's blocked until you clear the enemies. I then ran back to the squad and there were only 3 left I picked up up the mounted gun and killed the few that were left then moved towards the checkpoint area again when the next drop ship comes. I killed those guys and ran in the building and voilla! I had 4 marines follow me in. Not sure if running ahead did something to the sequence of things or not but worth a stab if you are having problems with this achievement.

I didn't get this on my Veteran play-though, I got it on my Supersoilder one, I just ran ahead and punched and stealth killed the Ceph's. Couple of shots with my pistol too. I was really shocked when I got it.

I too got this on my Super Soldier run. I ran ahead to the turret, took that and killed the Ceph, moved on and killed the remaining Ceph. Went into the room and the achievement popped. A nice surprise when not even going for it.

Wow, I read this and thought it was crazy, and was expecting to have to replay this again after my supersoldier playthrough but I did a very similar thing to this solution and it worked! Definitely worth a try to anyone having trouble with this achievement.

Worked for me first attempt. =) Cheers. Did it on Recruit and just ran to the door and then ran back and killed some enemies. Then killed more enemies and went in the door, when it said to and achievement popped.

Not working for me. I'm only getting two/three joining me inside the building. I know this is a super old achievement but a video from anyone would be very helpful.

Edit - Scratch that, got it on my next try after posting. I had three in the building and one lost soldier outside.

I had a lot of trouble rounding up the 4th one. He just lingered out in the distance. In the end I re-ran the section and they were all in different places and ran towards the entrance where the chievo popped.

this is how i unlocked it also. tried it a few times on the easier levels and couldnt get it so i decided to come back to it later after i go through the campaign on supersoldier. when i got to semper fi on SS i wasnt even trying to get it, just went straight ahead without even keeping count to the checkpoint room and did what gantua did and surprisingly it popped.

Awesome! That worked for me too! One or two soldiers died but I still got the achievement (Supersoldier).

keep checking on the 4 blue arrows on your mini map (marines) making sure you pass each checkpoint with all four intact, and if one of them dies just quit to the menu and then resume from your last checkpoint. On recruit difficulty this might take 4 or 5 attempts but persevere and it will pop - had me quite frustrated for a while - you'll need to polish off every ceph as the marines will keep shooting (and run the risk of dying) so you can't rush to the building straightaway.

Mission 10: "Semper Fi or Die"
Here is a video guide I made many years ago for this achievement:
2

31 Dec 2019 03:20

At the start of the level, 'Semper Fi or Die', you'll meet up with the Marines. As soon as you have control the CEPH will start to attack you and your team. Make your way down the hill and under the broken train track to where the main attack will happen.

Once there, hordes of CEPH will pop up around the battle area and attack you. Your main goal is to help defend the area and not let any of your teammates die. Its a pretty simple fight but keep an eye out, as sometimes some CEPH get behind you without you knowing it and can pick off your guys!

Stay in the sight of the CEPH to draw any fire away from them and don't go into Stealth otherwise the attacks will be focused on your guys! Once all are dead, you'll be heading toward a building killing off the last few. Once you've made it inside and to the objective the achievement will unlock!

At the very beginning, run a little ahead of your allies. As soon as you see your Marine ally starting to shoot at the aliens, help him.

There should be 4 Marines in total when they find you before entering the building which will fill up then they will run first I stood and counted how many of them ran if there are 4 then come in too and the prize is yours if not then reload

After passing on the Super Soldier, I restarted the level to boost the trophy associated with the cameras, and stupidly walking around in armor and showering everyone on the “recruit” difficulty, I knocked out the “Combat Brotherhood” trophy, and I did it rather slyly and not intentionally. So there shouldn't be any problems with it.
