Use these setting and go bed, the bots are too slow and dumb to kill each other in 1 minute.
Also use a wired(or plug and play charge kit) controller (rock band accessories will work too)
settings -
Match Type: Local
Game Type: Warzone (or Execution)
Total Rounds: 15
Round Time Limit: 1
Number Of Bots: 1 (or 9 - i recommend this)
Bot Difficulty: Casual
Bleed-Out Time: 60
Friendly Fire: Off
Map Selection: Host
Weapon Spawning: Customize (Mulcher for all)
Map: Day One
I personally put it on execution just in case they get you down to the last man, also despite me recommending the mulcher i leave all the weapons as normal, it is hilarious to wake up and look at the scores.
And i stress again, you do not have to have 9 bots running around, for me i just found it amusing to look at the scores when i woke up!

I recommend using 9 bots, as on a few of the maps (Day One included) the bot can find you.

If you set a private match, go to security. Set the total rounds to 15. Make you the only one on your team and another controller (player) on the other team and run through the lasers. You should make it to the lasers in about 15 seconds.If you alternate players running into lasers it makes it a total of 29 rounds at 15 seconds a round.

The quickest method by far is mentioned by KILLROY 313 by playing Horde on FLOOD and running into the Imulsion pools as it takes < 5 sec for each game. However, I found a way to double this is by adding a second controller split screen and running both controllers into the imulsion pools and you'll get credit for 2 games instead of 1. I did this with a friend and got 1000 matches within 2hrs.
I haven't tried this with others online but it definitely works on split screen.

Not sure if this is possible, the previous solution said it would take 7-8 hours doing this solo. Cutting the time in half for having two people would make 4 hours, and that still sounds fishy.

word of warning on this achievement. dimmock's way to boost and get it is perfectly fine, but the amount of time it takes is insanely long. for a 60 second match with a 10 second intermission between matches, it'll take almost 39 hours or a little over a day and a half of your xbox continuously running to get the achievement. when you're doing this, make sure your 360's auto-off feature is disabled, otherwise your box will be turning off every six hours. the way i did this is to set up the match before i went to bed and left it running until i got home from school the next day for 3 days in a row. that gives you more than enough time to get the achievement.

Wow.... everyone seems to be forgetting about horde!!!!! Horde counts as multiplayer,therefore, there are now 2 even quicker ways of doing this. #1. Map: Security, Waves 9-10,19-20,29-30,39-40,49-50. (does not matter which one).Difficulty: Insane. Now run to the lasers. Round length: 7-13 sec. #2. Map: Flood (combustible), Same waves, Same difficulty. Now, run into the imulsion pools. Round length: 3-8 sec. starting from 0, you should have this after 10-12 hours with method 1, or 7-8 with method 2. Or 48-50 with traditional methods. Take your pick.

just make a private match and have 9 bots. make bot difficulty easy and play one excecution.make round length 1 minute. play on day one map.make bleed out time 60 seconds. put these setting on and simply just go to bed. it will take a couple of day and make sure you dont have your xbox setting saved to turn off after 6 hours because this can be a pain. use a wired controller or a plug and charge set

A lot of these solutions are really good, and each one will earn you the achievement.. There are many ways listed that will earn you the achievement while playing it or leaving it running, I combined a few of these listed methods and came up with a pretty quick one, although YOU WILL NEED A TURBO CONTROLLER for this method..
Step 1. (Game Setup)
-Local Match
-Horde
-Insane
-Any Wave (I was on wave 1)
-Map FLOOD
Step 2.
When the match starts turbo down the "A" button and walk away, what will happen is 6 of 10 times you will roll into the lava (implosion) on rounds that you don't you will continue to roll or take cover on a small wall, on these waves the enemies will kill you, I never had a round that lasted longer than 40 seconds..on waves you roll into the lava is didn't last longer than 15 seconds.. Doing this this way will net you many many more rounds played...
Good Luck

After messing around and popping the achievement, I realized a few things. First off, you'll either...
A.) Want to plug in a wired controller/play and charge or...
B.) Unplug your controller immediately after hitting start match (during the countdown). This will make sure that you start the match without having your controller plugged in, therefore it cannot disconnect. It's a weird little trick...but it works.
Another method to jack this up if you don't have a play and charge kit would be jumping in to the lasers on security, as mentioned in one of the above solutions. Round times can go from two seconds to twelve seconds depending where you spawn and how fast you get to a laser. Either way, you can do this on private horde and get some easy rounds.
The last way to pop this achievement is well, to play the MP for fun or some custom matches with friends. All of the horde and multiplayer rounds count thanks to the title update making this achievement that much more possible. All it takes is a little time and you'll have this achievement in no time! Make sure you do this towards the end as all of your horde / MP achievements will contribute to this. Good luck!

Okey this is the "other way" (the quickest one) to get this achievement if you dont have a charger kit, actually this guide have being mentioned by other users, but i make a video to be more clear of what you have to do.
Well you only need to do this;
Play in LOCAL
Game Tipe: Horde
Wave: 1 (just to be good)
Difficulty: Casual (Doesn´t matters really)
Map: Security
and then... just do what you see in the video over and over again until you get the achievement...
MY STATS:
In 1 Hour (exactly) i got 162 round counts for my achievement

Ok achievement hunters, all these solutions are all good to idle boost the rounds instead of having to spend numerous hours to get the achievement. But if you dont have a wired controller when the countdown starts after you start up the match from the game lobby you can take your battery out of the controller and let it idle without having to go waste $20-$40 just to get a wired/turbo controller. I would show a video of how its done but I lost my install disc for my Hauppauge pvr 2 capture and can't make any videos at the moment. So I hope this guide helps out and happy hunting, peace.

Hey Guys this solution is for the one above but alittle different.
Everything that is different will have a * next to it.
The reason i'm telling you guys this is because if your game is most likely to freeze on you and you will have to turn your xbox off after all that progress you made is now lost. (It just happened to me)
I Would Suggest every 500 Rounds or 4 Hours Complete the 5 Rounds and Recreate the map It might suck but it sucks even more when you lose all 1500 rounds from a freeze issue.
Use these setting and go bed, the bots are too slow and dumb to kill each other in 1 minute.
This Achievement takes around 38.8 Hours get (Without and Distractions)
Also use a wired(or plug and play charge kit) controller (rock band accessories will work too)
settings -
Match Type: Local
Game Type: Warzone (or Execution)
*Total Rounds: 5 (Just incase you go down and die you still have time left)
Round Time Limit: 1
*Number Of Bots: 1 (9 Bots are harder to kill instead of 1)
Bot Difficulty: Casual
Bleed-Out Time: 60
Friendly Fire: Off
Map Selection: Host
Weapon Spawning: Customize (Mulcher for all)
Map: Day One

The way i found could quiet frankly be the quickest, however boring.
Every wave on Horde done or failed counts towards a round on the achievement.
So basically, set up a Horde game on Security, jump into the laser beams 1999 times and the achievement will pop up.
Every wave is between 5 to 12 seconds long so it is a lot faster then watching bots kill each other on Custom.

This will be the last achievement you will want to make, throughout the game all Rounds will be accumulated for this achievement, and if even after you have done all the others it does not unlock, you can configure the game as follows:
Match Type: Local
Game Type: Warzone
Total Rounds: 5
Round Time Limit: 1
Number Of Bots: 1
Bot Difficulty: Casual
Bleed-Out Time: 60
Friendly Fire: Off
Map Selection: Host
Weapon Spawning: Customize - Mulcher weapon
Map: Any
You can leave it running at night while you sleep, but make sure the controller is on and don't disconnect, otherwise the game should pause, another thing I had a problem with was the connection, sometimes my console disconnected from Xbox Live and the game paused making me lose several rounds, if you have this problem disconnect from Xbox Live so the game does not pause.
