Those of you playing Battlefield: Bad Company may have heard of the Manic Lumberjack achievement. The description for the cheevo is simply “Knock down a small forest”. Sounds intriguing doesn’t it? It really isn’t all that hard to get once you pick up the MRTR-5 air strike assistance doohickey. Once you pick it up in the second chapter, clear the enemies within the small group of buildings, the armored car on the bridge and then go crazy with air strikes on the forest surrounding you.
Do some clear cutting there and the achievement will be yours in no time flat. That being said, it doesn’t need to be done in the spot that I did it and can be achieved just about anywhere there are enough trees, but you might as well get the whopping 15 GamerPoints out of the way and continue on with your gold search. Also, it’s just damn fun blowing up all those trees!
