Introduction
Call of Duty World at War is a fun game at start, with a decent storyline and the same gameplay style as previous titles. In my opinion I found it quite difficult to platinum because it in veteran mode you seem to always get grenade spams. On veteran you may possibly feel like giving up but DON'T, the veteran missions can be done you just need either a lucky run, a hell of a lot of skill or to hope for the best. The trophies themselves are mostly campaign based with the exception of the coop trophies. You may struggle too. This game is possible to be done in one playthrough because veteran is unlocked right at the start. Saying this, I'd recommend that you play on an easier difficulty if you have never played a COD game before.

How to do it in one playthrough
Basically run through the missions but be aware of the mission specific trophies that you can get on that mission and then try to get them as well. You will get stuck but if you have played COD before its the same story. Finish the story then go onto the coop trophies and get them.

How to get in two playthroughs
This is the runthrough that I decided to opt for. I was never really that good at COD:MW mostly played online but this one had trophies so I did the campaign this time.
First you should start the campaign and play on regular, this way you will be able to get used to the controls and hopefully learn the best and safe route for when you play it on veteran. It is possible to complete the campaign on regular in one sitting as it is about 5-6 hours long and isn't that hard to do on easier difficulties. I would recommend you get the mission specific trophies playing on the easier difficulty as it means that you can just focus on getting through the missions on veteran.
Okay once this is out of the way start on veteran. The difference of veteran and hardened isn't that bad and isn't impossible. Just aim to get through the mission and it may take a few tries but don't worry you'll eventually learn the area and how to get past it. Checkpoints feel like saviours now, dont they?

***Veteran Tips***

1.Cover is your God in this game, use it to its maximum. Veteran requires you to be good at covering yourself. Remember, you can get killed by three shots anywhere. Most of the cover you find is simply not suited to you standing up, so press R3 when at cover, it also makes you a smaller target. Sometimes prone can help a lot, even though you are on the ground you may be able to see your enemy.

2.The most common problem is grenades. Watch your grenade indicator at all times. In veteran, enemies spam grenades like crazy and with pin point accuracy; so you sometimes get the feeling that its impossible. The best way to avoid grenades is to throw them straight back if you can, if you can't though simply run into the nearest cover or at least get out of the grenades range, but watch for enemies shooting. You don't want to run into their bullets now do ya?

3.Checkpoints, these damn things are ill-placed and so random. If you played through on a lower difficulty, try to remember where you got your last checkpoint on whatever mission you are doing, try thinking about how you got to it and you might have a useful tactic.

4.Patience is your key on veteran, if you don't have it then simply don't play veteran. The grenades and endless enemies may make you want to go all Rambo-esque and run out, but you'll die more than likely within a second or two, so watch out.

5.Your teammates, they are a God send at times and incredibly stupid at others. They are helpful, so use them closely. You have to push yourself into the enemies to get your teammates to move up, unless you want them to stand there shooting the sky? They are also handy for ammo if you need it, simply kill one of the privates by 'accident' and retrieve his ammo, but don't kill anyone past the rank of private, or else its restart from checkpoint for you.

6.Smoke grenades are key to getting along in the American missions, they really do help a lot. So if you have them, use them to distract enemy MG nests or even to hide the enemies view so you can kill them.

Saved Private RyanBronze Trophy
Save the soldier before he burns to death.

This trophy is unlocked in the first mission, Sempre Fi. After crossing the bridge or making your way around from the right, at the start of the mission (after the release), you will have to go up a platform/runway. Pvt.Ryan goes ahead first though,as he goes past the door on the right a flaming Jap bursts out, at this point you should kill the Jap before Ryan dies.

Weapon of Mass DestructionBronze Trophy
Radio in a naval bombardment that kills at least 4 Japanese soldiers.

Found on the second mission, Little Resistance. You acquire the use of an air strike, you can use this by pressing right on the d-pad. Simply kill four enemies with one strike and trophy unlocked. The easiest part for this however, is at the very end, when you have to call in a strike on the two tanks. Instead of targeting the tanks, target the bunker below instead, this should get you the trophy as there is plenty of Japs in the bunker.

Lights Out!Bronze Trophy
In 'Black Cats', blast out all of the spot lights in the Japanese cargo convoy. (Solo only)

The eleventh mission, Black Cats, is where this trophy is found. At the start of this mission you have to intercept a Japanese shipping convoy. You should notice two large spotlights on either end of these three ships. Try shoot them immediately with either bullets or rockets. You know you have broken them when they explode and go out. You get another chance to take them out when your plane glides over the ships, going from one end to another. A video of it should help, so here it is.



Rough EconomyBronze Trophy
Kill 3 enemies with a single round.

This can be gotten in any mission, as long as you're a good enough shot. The easiest mission to do it in, however, is Vendetta, right at the start. A video is included to help:

Another way to get it is in Nazi Zombies, simply line three zombies up and hope you kill three with one shot, use a PTRS-41 or magnum if you're unsure.

Guardian AngelBronze Trophy
In the final battle for Okinawa, save Sergeant Roebuck.

This trophy is found in Breaking Point, the thirteenth mission. As you make your way out of the castle and into the courtyard, a cut scene triggers and you can't use your weapon. Sgt. Roebuck is the guy on the right making his way to the Japs that seem to be surrendering. The Japs are suicide bombers though, so when they scream and you get your gun back, shoot the two guys that attack Roebuck and *bing* trophy.



Close ShaveBronze Trophy
Survive a banzai attack. (Solo only)

This one is fairly simple, and can be found in any American mission. Banzai attackers are Japs that come running at you screaming...wait for it...Banzaiiiiiii (Who knew). Allow one to push you down, as soon as you see the sign to get him off, hit R3 and you stab him in the neck.



Snake in the GrassBronze Trophy
Take out a Japanese soldier lying in wait in the grass.

Again, this trophy can be done in almost all American missions. A 'snake in the grass' is a Jap lying there waiting for you, but hidden in the grass, most likely a banzai. Simply throw a grenade into any tall grass you see, theres a chance there's a Jap lyingin wait. An easy part to do this is on Little Resistance, the second mission.Right at the start, after you clear out the two MG nests with your air strikes you have to make your way down a little path, there will be a tree in among some tall grass, lob a grenade in the grass, and one or two should die. A video to help those unclear of it.



No Safe PlaceBronze Trophy
Burn an enemy out of a tree with the flamethrower in 'Hard Landing'.

In the mission 'Hard Landing' you get an M2 Flamethrower. As you get it you go through a field, in this field you should see 3 threes all beside each other, run to the nearest one and blast it with fire =D, a man should fall out schorched. Easy trophy. A video though, in case.



Purple HeartBronze Trophy
When staring into the face of adversity, show courage and persevere.

On veteran, die 20 times, simply done by running into enemies and letting them kill you.

RuthlessBronze Trophy
Kill 15 enemies while mounted on a tank in 'Ring of Steel'.

When you jump down from the building at the end of Ring of Steel, you are met with several tanks, hop onto the back of one of them and you get placed onto the turret. Shoot and kill 15 enemies, easier said than done, so put your sensitivity to LOW and it should be easier.

Mortar-domBronze Trophy
Kill 8 Japanese with thrown mortars in 'Breaking Point.

In the mission 'Breaking Point' you will come to a point where you have to use hand-held mortars, simply kill 8 enemies with them. A video for those unsure.



Shot in the DarkBronze Trophy
Kill 10 enemies while the lights are out in the subway in 'Eviction'.

At the end of the mission Eviction, you have to make your way through an underground metro tunnel. At random intervals, I think, the lights malfunction and go off. At this point Sgt. Reznov tells you to watch out for Germans. While the lights are out try and shoot as many Germans as possible, even though you only need ten. A video yet again.



Blue RibbonBronze Trophy
Complete a 4-player Competitive Co-Op match in 1st place. (Online co-op Only)

For this trophy you need to go into a 4-player COMPETITIVE match. You need to get the HIGHEST score in the match.

Hammer TimeBronze Trophy
Repair 200 window boards in a single game. (Map Pack 2 only)

For this you're gonna have to repair windows like mad, but there is an easy way to do it. The easiest way is to do it on your own, in the first round there are 5 zombies, so whittle it down to just one, then simply let him tear off the boards and you repair them straight away, time consuming but very easy.

It's a trap!Bronze Trophy
Kill at least one zombie with three different traps in a single round. (Map Pack 2 only)

Listen up people, A SINGLE ROUND! Right thats gone off my chest, you have to use any of the traps to kill at least one zombie, duh, but these traps are the electric fences, you have to use a different one every time, all in one round, so set one off, kill a zombie, then repeat x2 at other electric fences.You can also use the flogger as one.

Weapon of Minor DestructionBronze Trophy
Kill no more than one zombie with a nuke. (Map Pack 2 only)

As it says, kill a zombie with a nuke, but only one. You're gonna wanna be absolutely sure its only one zombie left, so do it with four people, and have each person leg it around the map looking for stray zombies, then when one is left get someone to pick up the nuke. (This is under the assumption a nuke falls).

Perk-a-HolicBronze Trophy
Have all four perks simultaneously active in a game of Nazi Zombies. (Map Pack 2 only)

In each room there is a perk drink machine. You have to have all of these active, so you gotta buy em all.The perks are: Jugger Nog, Revive Soda, Double Tap Drink and Speed Cola (Juggernaught, Quick Revive, Double Tap, Sleight of Hand)

Fertilizer ManBronze Trophy
Kill 200 zombies in a single game. (Map Pack 2 only)

Well, yeah? What more can be said really, kill 200 zombies in one sitting.

Big BrawlerBronze Trophy
Get 10 consecutive zombie melee kills before Insta-Kill expires. (Map Pack 2 only)

For this you have to pick up the instakill bomb, with that you gotta knife 10 zombies IN A ROW. Make sure you dont shoot any by accident.

Elevate Your Senses!Bronze Trophy
Activate the Fly Trap. (Map Pack 3 only)
Locksmith!Bronze Trophy

Wacker Packer!Bronze Trophy

Carlson's RaidersSilver Trophy
Complete 'Semper Fi' on any difficulty. (Solo only)

Finish Sempre Fi on any difficulty.

Stormed PeleliuSilver Trophy

Finish all missions up until, and including, Relentless.

Stabbed in the HeartSilver Trophy
Complete all missions on the Eastern Front on any difficulty. (Solo only)

Finish all missions up until, and including, Downfall.

The ProfessionalSilver Trophy
Shoot all of Amsel's henchmen, including their attack dog, without reloading. (Solo only)

At the start of the mission Vendetta, Reznov hands you his sniper rifle and tells you to take out the guards and their dog, but can you do it without reloading? The key is to shoot two sets of soldiers with one bullet, another two with two bullets, wait until the dog jumps you, then knife it and shoot the remaining soldier with your last bullet. A video for this troublesome trophy.



GunslingerSilver Trophy
Assassinate General Amsel with a pistol shot. (Solo only)

The hardest trophy in my opinion, but it can be done. I'm not even gonna try to explain this one, so a video should suffice. To get a pistol first, after you take out Amsels men and Reznov brings you into the bar, make your way up the stairs and in the room where you face off against the sniper, you should see a desk with a pistol on it, pick it up, waste all the ammo, then it should reload with 80 rounds in it, a nice glitch.



Grave RobberSilver Trophy
Collect all Death Cards in the game. (Solo only)

This description is annoying as you can get the death cards in co-op if you like. A video of all death cards in the game for help.



Throw a Six and a HalfSilver Trophy
On Hardened or Veteran difficulty, complete a level without dying. (Solo only)

As the description suggests, you need to finish a mission on hardened or veteran without dying once. Hard, or so it sounds. *NOTE* you can use grenades and your knife. If you play and finish the game on veteran you will be more than ready to get this done. Simply start up Sempre Fi and try your hardest to not die, or any mission you are good at. Easy missions for this are Blood And Iron and Black Cats. Refer to 'bearing the burden' for veteran tips also.

FirestarterSilver Trophy
Complete a level using only the flamethrower. Melee, grenades & explosives are OK.

As the description says, finish a mission using only a regulation M2 (flamethrower to me 'n you), grenades, and melee. Can only be done on Burn Em Out, or if you want to risk it, try Hard Landing, but it takes a while to get the flamethrower.

KamikazeSilver Trophy
Complete a level on Regular difficulty or higher using only melee or grenades. (Solo only)

Sempre Fi on regular, pretty much run up to an enemy and knife them, or grenades, do not shoot a single bullet or else you lose this chance at the trophy.

Iron FistSilver Trophy
Destroy all towers and bunkers in 'Blood and Iron'.

*Credit goes to Eternal at Xbox360Achievements for this description.*
On 'Blood and Iron', there are bunkers and towers scattered around the level. This should be done on Recruit. Using your tank, clear out every enemy soldier and tank to make your task easier. Now search around the entire level for towers and bunkers to destroy. Note that water towers also count. You should slowly go through every single area on the mission to make sure you have not missed any. Here is a step by step guide on how to get the achievement:

Towers:
1. Red water tower just after you turn the first corner.
2. Red water tower directly behind the first water tower.
3. To the left of the far-left artillery gun.
4. To the right of the far-right artillery gun, in between the two bunkers.
5. Behind the right bunker.
6. To the far right, you will see it to the left of a tank sitting on the hill.
7. Before you turn right to destroy the Radio Tower you will see some Russian soldiers running across a field, look into the distance and you will see a red water tower.
8. To the left of the Radio Tower.
9. To the right of the Radio Tower.
10. Behind the left side of the big bunker.
11. To the east of the big bunker.
12. As you come over the hill you will see it to the left of the trenches with a tank in the middle.
13. To the right of the previously mentioned tank.
14. As the planes fly over they destroy this one but just check they do.
15. The furthest right you can go, north on your compass, next to some concrete blocks.
16. Follow the concrete blocks down to the left, you should see it as you drive into the train station.

Bunkers:
1. To the right of the far-right artillery gun.
2. To the right of Tower #4.
3. As you turn right in to the field with the Radio Tower look to the left a little bit, there is a bunker slightly hidden in the trees. You will see rockets fly at you from the bunker.
4. You can't miss it as you come up the hill. There are two parts to it, left and right, make sure you destroy both!

Thanks to Cookieboy for the guide on GameSpot.



Sum of All ZerosSilver Trophy
Down 45 Japanese Zeros in 'Black Cats'. (Solo only)

For this trophy you have to shoot down 45 enemy zeros (the Jap planes). The planes literally only need to be hit once or twice for them to crash, you dont have to make them explode. A good tip is to turn your sensitivity to LOW. You dont need to save any survivors and take out any PT boats as quick as you can or when no zeros are flying around.

DeadheadSilver Trophy
Get 150 zombie headshots in a single game. (Map Pack 2 only)

Again, not more can be said, just aim for their heads really, nothing else to say?

Big BallerSilver Trophy
Earn 75,000 points in a single Nazi Zombies game. (Map Pack 2 only)

With each hit, kill,headshot and window repair you get a specific amount of points, end the game with at least 75,000 total to get this trophy. To make sure of your points press select and see what your tally is at.

Soul SurvivorSilver Trophy
Reach round 15 in Nazi Zombies without getting revived. (Map Pack 2 only)

Fairly self-explanatory, reach round 15 without being downed by a zombie, very hard, do it with 2 or more partners for the best chance.

Perkaholics Anonymous!Silver Trophy
Survive until round 20 without buying a single Perk. (Map Pack 3 only)
Acquire Waffle Weapons!Silver Trophy
Obtain the Ray Gun, DG-2, and the Monkey Bomb at the same time in a game. (Map Pack 3 only)
Pack Addict!Silver Trophy
Upgrade 5 weapons at the Pack A Punch Machine. (Map Pack 3 only)
Hardened War HeroGold Trophy
Complete the game on Hardened or Veteran difficulty. (Solo only)

Finish up to, and including, Downfall on hardened or veteran. Also refer to 'Bearing the Burden' for veteran tips. Congratulations on finishing on hardened/veteran.

This trophy is glitched and this is what legndorock has to say about it:

"To unlock Hardened War Hero you must have beaten the game on Hardened or Veteran difficulty. Be aware though that even if you've completed the game on Veteran and even have all the trophies to prove it there must be a Hardened or Veteran level skull under the level when you go into the mission select screen. A glitch occurs that erases all of your story progress when you do things like buy the map packs for the game. If this has happened to you just go back and complete the levels on Hardened difficulty to get this trophy. the levels will seem almost too easy compared to Veteran so don't worry about it".

War HeroGold Trophy
Complete the game on any difficulty. (Solo only)

Finish up to, and including, Downfall on any difficulty. Well done for finishing CoD:WaW.

PlatinumPlatinum Trophy
Awarded when all other trophies have been unlocked.

Description says it all. You got all trophies, well done!
