  This one is very lengthy, pretty much spans the last 3 quarters of the mission.
  
  This mission pays homage to “All Ghillied Up” from the original Modern Warfare game.
  
  ***Please note that you ABSOLUTELY CAN RELOAD LAST CHECKPOINT, should anything go wrong, just do it right away upon a mistake. Saves are very frequent and you’d only lose 1-2 minutes of progress if you do. Reloading checkpoints does NOT void achievements!
  
  During the first part, you’ll be mostly prone and progressing towards the objective without getting seen. This is pretty straightforward and does not count to the achievement if you get detected, though ideally just do it quietly.
  
  The achievement pre-requisite begins once you reach the compound, you’ll be tasked with eliminating all the soldiers around the area from hundreds of meters away with a sniper rifle.
  
  Be wary of bullet drop! Cpt. Price says as much but just in case you didn’t listen, you know. Every dash in the scope accounts for 100m of distance. So when Price says “2 and a half notches (250m), 3 notches (300m), 4 notches (400m) etc.” Use the dashes on the bottom line of the scope to account for that distance. Listen to his callouts well, he will tell you if 2 people need to be taken out with one bullet, or whether they’re alone or to aim for the head etc.
  
  That part is fairly simple, just take your time and work around from one side to the other.
  
  Once you’re done with this, you’ll be tasked to proceed into the compound on foot, on your own. A vehicle patrol will stop about halfway there, just go prone and conceal the weapon. Move very slowly if you see any enemy walking straight at you so you can get out of their way. You can wait this out and eventually they’ll go back into the vehicles and drive off.
  
  In the compound:
  
  *** This part wasn’t very specific on the other guide. But, you can technically alert these guys, just don’t leave them alive long enough to ring any alarms.
  
  Climb onto the roof of the first warehouse using the forklift as a platform out front and open up a vent to use Tear Gas. All enemies will run outside to the front side. Just shoot them all, Price will help you. Then check the interior and search the container. I believe the alarm switches are inside, that’s why it’s best to lure them out with gas.
  
  Straight after this, a squad of 5 will approach from the second warehouse, climb back onto the roof of the first warehouse. Use the heartbeat sensor to monitor their location, take them out one by one. DO NOT let them see you here. All of them are armoured so headshots only. Price will also help you take around two guys if you take your time.
  
  Once they’re dealt with, proceed to warehouse two. Go along the back left side and climb onto the roof again using the boxes in the corner. Open a vent and throw tear gas in, then shoot them all as they run out. Check the interior again and check the table with maps.
  
  Price will ask you to meet outside, you’ll now be heading for the lighthouse. You’ll be sniping away the patrols there, just like at the beginning of the compound. Just take your time and pick them off carefully, as Price tells you.
  
  As soon as you kill the last enemy outside the lighthouse, the achievement will pop. Very simple but lengthy achievement.

  Ooops I didnt read enough adn thought even alerting the guards was enough to void the achievement so I spent over an hour on the first warehouse roof restarting over and over again haha. Got it first go then when I copped on and read properly. Thanks.

  The COD MW2 mission Recon by Fire is a nod to the original COD Modern Warfare 'All Ghillied Up' mission. This achievement can be broken down to 5 parts.
  
  YOU CAN LOAD PREVIOUS CHECKPOINT IF ALARM DOES SOUND
  
  1. Get to the compound, the beginning part of the mission does not count toward the achievement. From the vantage point, listen to Price and snipe all enemies in the compound.
  
  2. On the way down to the compound, lay prone and hide weapon when the convoy comes by. Wait until they get back into the truck and drive away.
  
  3. Warehouse 1 - Climb on roof and throw a gas grenade through the air vent and light up the enemies that come through the garage door. Price will help you with this. After searching the shipping container, go back on roof and look to the back of the warehouse to find the next convoy of 5 ARMORED enemies. Captain Price will also help you take out some of this convoy.
  
  4. Warehouse 2 - Round the back left of the warehouse, climb up on the roof and do the same thing with the gas grenade through the air vent technique. This time when you jump in, find the map on the table and meet Cpt. Price outside.
  
  5. When the lighthouse is in sight, take out all remaining enemies similar to the first go around. Listen to Captain Price and compesate for distance with your shots.
  
  The achievement will pop once the last enemy is eliminated outside of the lighthouse!

  Yes, you can go "loud" and get spotted when clearing the warehouses in the first base! That section doesn't set off an alarm.
  
  In Mission 9: Recon by Fire you have to complete a stealthy sniper mission similar to All Ghillied Up from the original Modern Warfare. As with the original you'll spend a lot of your time on crawling through grass and avoiding been spotted. These sections are heavily scripted and easy to understand.
  
  When you reach the first compound, you'll need to eliminate all hostiles in the area. Scope into each group and Captain Price will give you a rough idea what you need to do. Including how high you have to move your scope to account for bullet drop. The general rule of thumb is that each "notch" on the scope is 100m range, so a person showing 310m away would be 3 notches up to hit. Don't worry if you miss a shot and alert someone, just go into the main menu and restart checkpoint to try again.
  
  After you've cleared out that area and moved down the hill towards the warehouses, you'll have the option to breach the doors or tear gas the air vents from above. Either method is valid and doesn't affect the alarm trigger. This is the only area of the mission your allowed to go "loud" and be spotted. Remove all hostiles and the 5 heavies that spawn to continue on with the achievement.
  
  You'll then move onto a second sniping section; this is a little trickier than the first as the enemies are better armoured and, in some cases, headshots are required. Again, if you miss a shot just reload the checkpoint until you do it cleanly - once everyone is eliminated in this compound the achievement will pop.
