Step 1: Story Easy/Normal/Hard & Collectibles.
Its recommended that you start the the game on Hard, but if you want to enjoy the game a little more, then Easy or Normal is fine. All the difficulty achievements stack. During any difficult playthrough you will want to focus in collecting all the collectibles. As some of the collectibles unlock new weapons and TECH items. Which will benefit you a lot. There is also plenty of chapter related achievements to get. If you do miss some collectibles or chapter related achievements. Don't worry you can replay any chapter.
Easier playthrough on Hard: Quit on the last checkpoint of the chapter > change the difficulty to Hard (for that specific chapter) from the Main Menu, by pressing > then select Continue from last checkpoint. This way the game will recognize the chapter as having been completed on Hard. "See All Hail You!" for checkpoint descriptions and more information.
Step 2: Multiplayer
The FUN! part. You will be spending a lot of your time on here, a lot of time.. The multiplayer is very aggressive, but fun to play at the same time.
There are a total of nine multiplayer achievements. Four of them are tied into the different game modes "Heavy Metal War", "Ballistic Energon Goodie", "Moonbase One 15", and "Ultimate Menasor". One is to be the MVP (1st) for that match "Full Throttle Scramble Power!". Another two for fully leveling one class, "Headmaster", and then fully leveling all 4 classes, "King of the Scrap Heap". One for entering Prime Mode (prestige), "What Prime Directives?". And the last one to create a custom character "Reconfiguration Matrix". To see more information on how to obtain these achievements, see the descriptions below. Quickest way of leveling your characters will be to play Conquest.
These achievements can not be done in a private match.
