Easy Ways to Earn the Headshot Honcho
One easy way to earn this achievement doing this is on the level, The Ark. Reach the point where you have to open the light bridge for the Marines, Scorpions, Warthogs, and occasionally Prowlers to pass. Instead of opening the bridge right away, snipe off a few of the Warthog's gunners. That way, the Marines will start shooting you and plus there'll be no Warthog gunners killing you. From here, shoot the Warthog/Prowler's drivers and passengers. Kill off the Scorpion's gunners if needed. When you have earned the Achievement, light the bridge and continue on with the mission. The Marines outside of the building won't mind what you did earlier.

Another easy way is also on The Ark, but at the beginning with the sniper rifle. Just snipe all the enemies in the head. Also, don't be afraid to waste a shot on a grunt with the sniper to get this achievement, grunts do count for the Achievement on as low a difficulty as Normal.

Another way is to play Tsavo Highway up to the second outside area (The two shades near the pump station) there are many Jackal snipers in this area. Kill one and pick off all of the grunts. There are enough grunts and Jackals here to earn the achievement.

Another easy way to earn this achievement is in the level Sierra 117, in the last part of the level. You just have to take the sniper rifle and snipe everybody.

This achievement doesn't have to be done without dying so if you don't have enough ammo you can commit suicide and make the missing headshots. This achievement can be done on easy.

If you are getting it on muitliplayer, expect to get negative comments on your snipe streak, i have read the odd thread about snipers being cheap (yet im not allowed to buy one).

Another way you could get this Achievement is to get a Battle Rifle or Covenant Carbine and shoot a heap of Grunts. Also, sadly, there is a glitch that may prevent the acheivment from being unlocked on your first few attempts.
