How to unlock the Exterminator achievement in Halo 3 - Definitive Guide

The fifth mission is "Floodgate". The easiest way to unlock this achievement is to play the level on Normal difficulty with a few skulls turned on.
First and foremost, play with the "Catch" skull turned on. You only fight flood enemies in this level, and the flood don't throw grenades. Be wary though, because your elite allies will throw lots of grenades and they could end up killing you instead.
I would also recommend turning on "Tough Luck", "Fog", and "Famine". They will give your score multipliers but won't make completing the level much harder.
Try to stick to using the battle rifle for most of the level and use it to headshot the flood. Getting a headshot gives you a medal and will give you more points for the kill. At the beginning of the level, be sure to pick up the gravity hammer lying behind an upturned truck. Save it for when you're in tight situations or when you are out of battle rifle ammo.
NOTE: This achievement can also be unlocked in coop, but you still must score over 15,000 individually. Turn on Free For All scoring instead of Team scoring to be able to see how many points you yourself have while playing the level.

um... the fifth mission is "the storm" not "floodgate"

haha wow are you serious? Let me guess, you gave me the thumbs down? Anyhow, you are wrong. You have it backwards. The Storm is mission 4 and Floodgate is in fact mission 5. Believe it or not, the guy who took the time to write up the solution and try to help others out got his mission numbers right!

For this achievement you'll need to earn at least 15,000 scoring points on the fifth mission of the Campaign, Floodgate. This can be done solo or with a few buddies. (I got all mine solo and using the method below)
First you'll need to enable either Free-For-All or cooperative scoring from the campaign options. Then select the following for quickest results:
Normal Difficulty
Catch Skull - (1.00 multiplier)
Fog Skull - (1.00 Multiplier)
Famine Skull - (1.00 Multiplier)
So you'll be playing on Normal difficulty with enemies chucking nades alot, no Mini-Map, and ammo pick-ups are scarce. However, being on Normal difficulty will make this a cakewalk. And having these 3 skulls on will start your kill scoring at a x3 Multiplier, so as long as you finish the mission within a reasonable time, and die little-to-no times you'll have more than enough points to pop your achievement!
