How to unlock the A Hero Spared! achievement in Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City - Definitive Guide
This achievement, as well as "Died Trying" are achievements for the end of the game. There will be MAJOR plot spoilers so read ahead at your own risk.
Chip Uchiha's strategy will help you get "The Loyalist" achievement at the same time, but I'm gonna stick with just describing mine.
A neat trick you can do to net both "Died Trying" and "A Hero Spared" is to have at least two other friends. Defend Leon, have at least two people on this team and have all but one of them die. The other kills the opposing team and you'll net both. I've not tested whether you can all die and let Leon kill the opposing team but in theory it should work as well.
First, choose to protect Leon and die against your team-mates (run up to them and let them melee you to death as its quick). You'll get the "Died Trying" achievement.
Then it reloads to the cutscene with Leon again.
Once again, choose to protect him and this time kill your opposing team-mates (shouldn't be too difficult on Casual or Normal). This will net you the "A Hero Spared" achievement.
Now as soon as it pops up before the game can autosave, pause the game and choose "Exit Game".
The game autosaved at the start of the Leon scene. So this time choose to execute him. When you've killed the opposing team-mates and Leon (he can be quite tough), you'll get "The Loyalists" achievement.
And there you go, all 3 'ending' achievements in one playthrough :-)

This is a story related trophy and cannot be missed. You'll unlock this trophy at the end of End of the Line.
End of the Line is the final mission where U.S.S. HQ intercepted Leon S. Kennedy's emergency distress call to the US government; after Leon escaped the Birkin lab facility, which self-destructed. It's revealed that he has two survivors with him, Claire Redfield and Sherry Birkin. Sherry Birkin is the young daughter of William and Annette Birkin who was infected with the G-Virus and cured with a G-Virus antidote. Umbrella then orders Delta Team to eliminate the other two survivors and to capture Sherry Birkin alive as the G-Virus is still traceable in her blood. This is you and your squad's last chance to complete your mission.
For the trophy, you must choose to defend Leon S. Kennedy by pressing the button. After succeeding in eliminating the traitors from your squad you'll unlock the trophy and the good ending. However, if you choose to defend Leon, but fail and get killed while defending. You'll unlock the Died Trying trophy and will respawn at the choice decision screen to either "execute" or "defend" Leon again. The gameplay experience for this trophy changes in online co-op. The following things can happen online:
- If each player chooses different choices, then you'll be facing each other in a death match.
- If all the players choose the same choice to defend Leon, then your opponents will be Spec Ops soldiers.
Regardless what happens online during this fight. Each player will still receive credit for completing the mission, but whoever wins will be the one(s) to get the trophy for whichever ending they've chosen. After completing this final mission, you can replay it over again in Free Play Mode and choose the opposite choice you still need for the trophies.
At the end of the game you will get two choices: to either team up with or kill Leon Kennedy. Choose to team up then protect him and kill the opposite team and the achievment is yours.
