How to unlock the Conspicuous Gallantry achievement in Medal of Honor - Definitive Guide
First of all in tier 1 mode if you die you will be forced to start the level over again from the start. Also in tier 1 you will not be able to obtain ammo from your team! Tier 1 mode also has a timer (par time) you must beat. Lastly it is said that tier 1 is just like playing on hard but with these few changes included. So if you played on hard you should have a basic idea of what you are getting into.
Now the trick to not dieing is using cover, crouching, and laying down when you are getting shot and red blood is around your screen. It's wayyyyyyyyy better to take cover for 15 seconds and live than to die and start over.
Another way to avoid death is to allow your allies to take point! Never never never take point unless the mission forces you to! I can't tell you how many times I died because I ran up ahead and took point only to be killed by a cooked frag or an rpg!
As far as ammo goes it pays off great to switch all weapons to single shot mode (click d pad to the right). This will not only make your shots more accurate but it will conserve ammo big time!
Some weapons such as machine guns don't have single shot.
Also switch out shotguns for anything else, the last thing you want is a shot gun. Close range combat is not going to work here! A basic ak-47 is better! Don't pick up rpg's unless mission specific! The best enemy weapon is the sniper rifle and then the pkm machine gun.
Also there will be many times during the game where the mission will not
proceed unless you move foward. You may notice that you will kill enemies and they just keep coming back and taking up positions in the same spot.... This is when you must kill them and push foward to advance the mission.
My basic strategy was to get my team moving, and follow behind them, kill any enemies and move up hiding behind rocks or buildings as I advanced. Again when your allies are moving stay behind them, when they are not moving try to advance when safe to do so to get your team pushed up.
As far as par times go, if you follow what I say and don't rush things too much or take time to line up headshots you will always be under par time.
This guide is not for beating leaderboard times! And if you want this achievement don't bother trying to do so. It's better to just kill the enemies fast then trying to spend 5 seconds getting a headshot just to take off 2 seconds.
I beat all tier 1 levels in under 4 hours or so.
Good luck and please feel free to ask me any questions at all or if your stuck in a spot ask and I should be able to suggest what to do.
Thanks everyone.
On Friends From Afar, Dusty didn't coach me through each of the groups of guys to snipe. It took me a few runs through to memorize all their locations. So don't be like me and wait for three minutes for Dusty to point them out.
Again, great guide. +1
Tier 1 is a competative, online-only, single player mode. In Tier 1, replay Campaign levels with an eye towards posting the best time and getting the most skill kills. Adding to the challenge in Tier 1, difficulty is increased and there are no mid-level checkpoints ---if you die you must begin the level over.

EXAMPLE OF THE FIRST IN MISSION.
I found this achievement relatively easy with what everyone said, I chose to line up all the headshots I could and I always finished well under par time, nothing that's going to impact the leaderboards but good enough for me.
change assault rifles to single shots and with anything that you can't change to single shots just use short bursts of 3-5 bullets and you should have no problem getting plenty of headshots and freezing time.
in the other guide, it says to switch out shotguns I found that in certain parts of Belly of the Beast "village" and Rescue the Rescuer's "cave" having the shotgun was very helpful, but at any other time after that replace it with another assault rifle or the PKM in a lot of cases.
the only mission I struggled on was Belly of the Beast and I used these 2 videos which were a great help.

Tier 1 Mode is a game mode that you must complete missions under a specific time. If you die during any part of the mission, it will cause you to restart the mission. You must be connected to xbox live to play this mode. Here are some tips to help you complete this:
- Stay back, your team will take care of some enemies, but not all of them.
- Conserve your ammo and go for kill shots. You can't request ammo from your teammates like in normal campaign. You can rarely find a weapon, so pick your shots carefully.
- If you are sprinting, pressing the will cause you to slide. Use this to quickly get to cover.
- Learn to use the cover system. It will be a good amount of help while trying to get the upper hand on some enemies.
- Take advantage of Headshots and Knife kills as they will reduce your time.
- Also take advantage of killing several enemies (or getting several headshots) in a short ammount of time as this will reduce your time.
The Par Times for each mission are as follow:
- First In - 25:00
- Breaking Bagram - 30:00
- Running with Wolves... - 20:00
- Dorthy's a Bitch - 17:30
- Belly of the Beast - 25:00
- Friends From Afar - 15:00
- Compromised - 12:30
- Neptune's Net - 15:00
- Rescue the Rescuers - 28:30

TIER1 is basically a challenge mode where you need to complete the campaign under a specific target time. It is unlocked when you have completed the campaign once on any difficulty. You take more damage, enemies are more faster and accurate, and there is no ammo replenishment from allies (unlike playing on Easy :P). I have written a specific guide tailored for this trophy, which can be found here:
- Movements.
Try to move quickly and as safely as possible. One thing to note here is that if you continue moving towards the next target (even if it hasn't appeared yet), your team's shots will become more accurate.
- Time slowdown.
Headshots and head knives stop the timer for 2 seconds; 3 headshots in a row stops the timer for 5 seconds; 5 quickly killed enemies also stop the timer for 5 seconds. There is also a special scale at the top of the screen. If you fill it out quickly, you will get an extra 5 seconds.
- Ammunition.
In rank 1 mode there is practically no ammunition with which you can replenish your weapons. The most effective weapon in each mission is the M4 because it has a scope. It can be noted here that secondary weapons, such as AK-47 or PKM LNG, also play an important role. They are very effective in close combat, and will help you in a quarter of all fights + you won't waste M4 ammo
1. "First to go" - 25:00
In the building where the lights have been turned off, you need to run bestro using sprint. Enemies will not shoot. However, you can throw a knife at everyone in the building.

2. "The Taking of Bagram" - 30:00
At the very beginning, jump onto the vertical drainage section, turn right and move forward. Keep your eyes on the RPG in the top left corner. This way you will sneak up behind a large number of enemies and kill them with ease.

3. "Walk with Wolves" - 20:00
Use a sniper rifle to kill enemies with headshots.

4. "Right Dorothy" - 5:30 p.m.
You can start shooting before the command is given. This will save time and speed up progress.

5. "Belly of the Beast" - 25:00
The basic rule is Run! Try to move all the time and move quickly. The last section of the mission, where you defend against enemies coming down from the hills, is key. So try to get through it as quickly as possible.
Pick up the PKM machine gun from one of the enemies you killed. Replace your gun with it because the gun is useless and the PKM has a lot of ammo.
When you reach the last section, enter the second hut and stay by the right window. Ignore all requests for help and just shoot all the enemies you see. Beware of the enemies who are running along the flanks.

6. "Arrows" - the mode is not available.
7. "Friends Away" - 15:00
A simple mission. Use downward pressure on the d-pad to switch optics. Decide on the targets you will shoot at and start firing from cover.

8. "Information Leak" - 12:30
The initial stage is a good chance to earn extra time. However, there is a tricky part. When you are retreating and exposed to enemy fire, you must time your retreat as your team throws smoke grenades. Run immediately...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHWQrgXhxHI
9. "Neptune's Network" - 15:00
Not a difficult mission because you will have a knife and can take stealth headshots.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m1D9Sv04X5g
10. "Rescue the Rescuers" - 28:30
The difficult part, however, for trophy hunters it could be even more difficult))). You need to complete the mission before entering the cave with Paterson (where Hernandez was shot). Run to Paterson to set up an ambush and go back. There is a small rock to the right that you can hide behind for partial cover.
After meeting with Voodoo and Pitcher, collect ammunition. If you want to save your primary weapon for the last fight against AAA, you should have a decent secondary weapon, such as an AK-47, AK-47 SU or PKM. After the encounter, continue moving from camp to camp, eliminating the enemy. Beware of grenades and hiding enemies. Use grenades and lure out enemies.

Some tips:
• They give you plenty of time, so there’s no need to build a hero, but we slowly clear everything out, and we don’t hang around in one place for a long time, as they say that the territory is clean, we move on.
• For a headshot kill +2 sec, for a kill with a knife +2 sec, for a double kill +6 sec.
• In this mode, comrades do not provide ammunition, so shoot sparingly. You can pick up weapons from enemies.
• In cover you can hold and just look out from behind him and not expose yourself to bullets.
• While running from cover to cover, press to roll up to cover.
