This morning, I finally got the achievement for causing 25 millions points worth of damage in Wrecking Crew. I started last night having only caused about 2 million total.
For those who want a good way to cause a lot of damage in Wrecking Crew fairly quickly, this is how I did it:
Start a 4-player escalation game on Complex with thermobaric rockets as the weapon, high collapse for the buildings, and 5 wins required. After each round of escalation, time and ammo is increased.
When you start out (and only have a single shot per round), go for the smokestack by one of the large buildings. Stand between the building and the smokestack and shoot it in the middle of the concrete base, just above the bottom edge. It will kill you, but if done right, the smokestack will crash through the building, causing quite a bit of damage.
Once you get to use more than one rocket per round, head to the rock between the two large buildings. Aim for the center of the inside of one of the buildings there through one of the orange-tinted windows on the ground floor (under the overhang). The blast will knock out all of the supports, and the building will collapse under its own weight. The most important thing is to be patient. Sometimes it takes 20-30 seconds for the building to finally crack, but it should fall each and every time.
The more rockets you have, the more buildings you can take down by shooting through the glass windows into the centers of the buildings. One shot will take down most or all of the structures, if you wait for everything to collapse afterwards.
If you spread the wins around between the four characters, each session will last a while, but at the end of it, you will have caused several million points worth of damage. For example, it took me about and hour to cause about 8 millions points of damage in one session. The good thing about doing it this way is that you don't have to restart a bunch of different games, and you can spend most of your time blowing shit up.
