This will help you get all of the metagame scoring achievements.
The following skulls are required:
Tough Luck, Fog, Famine, Thunderstorm
Play each level on Normal difficulty with those skulls enabled. Now play through as fast as you can (time multipliers are VERY important) while dying as little as possible of course. You should be able to very easily get the required score.
Good luck!

I had the following skulls on Normal:
Catch Skulls (Every NPC carries two grenades and throws them often)
Thunderstorm Skulls (Upgrades enemies to their stronger versions.)
Fog Skulls (Your motion sensor disappears)
The reason being is I found with Famine, unless you have a second controller being idle away from harm (meaning you can respawn with all your weapons back), you always run out of ammo and die. Tough Luck could be a handy one to have if you don't mind not spamming the grenades to clear larger areas.
As for Fog - who uses the motion sensor in campaign anyway. Thunderstorm is a good one to have especially if you have another controller present. They take a bit more guff than usual but the rewards for killing each enemy is a lot more hefty.

I got this one by using the Fog/Catch/Tough Luck skulls while playing on normal difficulty. I had well over 20k points at the end of the level and actually died a few times during the process. So, just have fun and try to not die as much as it takes points away from your total.

Thanks for the suggestion to play on normal. Easy enough with Iron, Fog, Tilt and Mythic on. I did not even really need to use Iron either since i got to 72k...

If somebody is having difficulties (maybe because is not good at FPS ...like me) I suggest to follow JonSnow's walktrough for finding the 2 "sniper rifles" and playing with the Tough Luck, Fog, Catch and Thunderstorm skulls;
DO NOT use the Famine skull if you are not a good player, or you'll probably waste all your sniper rifle bullets
Catch skull makes Grunts (the short aliens) throw at you a lot of plasma grenades, but I assure you that this won't be a problem until the last part of the level if you
1. pick up the 2 plasma grenades that they ALWAYS drop and use them to kill large groups of enemies (like the one that come out from the FIRST airship, the one near the silver skull for being more clearer), this allows you to get lot of points without constantly aiming for headshots
2. headshot kill most of the enemies in the last part of the level (part 3 of JonSnow's walktrough); watch out for near Grunts right after you reach that part because they can reach you with grenades!
Again, I'm not very good at FPS and, after playing first with Tough Luck, Fog, Famine and Thunderstorm skulls activated, then just with Tough Luck, Fog and Thunderstorm, the best I was able to achieve was ~14k, but using also the Catch skull I easily reached 28k without even trying :)
oh, and remember to pick up the Needler, it is really a useful weapon :)

The easiest solution for me:
- Use normal difficulty
- Activate score
- Free for all option
- Turn on some skulls (Tough Luck, Fog, Famine)
- Join with Second controller (this is the tip)
The second control is only for when you die. When this happens you will respawn close to second player saving time instead at the last checkpoint. With this you will win bonus time multiplier.
Thanks for RIPH Conclave (rest in peace)

For this achievement you'll need to earn at least 15,000 scoring points on the first official mission of the Campaign, Sierra 117. 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!
