Veteran Difficulty Level On COD4 and COD5

[nathan-dts]

Finished both on Veteran the only two missions I died more than once on were the final two World at war levels.

My BS detector is going off.

If you think that's BS then I can't imagine what you would think of me beating Smash TV without losing a life.

Think what you want but I know the truth.

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

What makes CoD5 hard on veteran is the fact that it rains grenades. On CoD4 the only level i can'tr beat on veteran is no fighting in the war room because of the time limit.

Well thanks once again for your help
I managed to finish 'Charlie Don't Surf' with your advice!
If 'Heat' is that bad I might just have to stop at that level haha.

I actually found Heat to be easy compared to some of the other missions, though I admit I'm in the minority on that one. Who knows, you might get lucky.

Pro-tip for Heat: Run your ass off.

Yeah, and airstrikes in the right places are invaluable too.

No Fighting in the war room was the worst. At the least the timer in Heat wasn't too strict.

 

[CRAVE CASE 55]

On CoD4, I have trouble with the television station on veteran. I can't find a spot where I'm actually safe, there is always an enemy that has me in their line of sight.

I always stay in the room that you go into that the large room from. The one that has all those servers and computer stuff. Enimies will come to you and your squad will do most of the fighting for you.

there's a thing on Youtube for Heat where you hide in the rafters for a good minute than run your ass off but War Room mission drove me insane

Mine too.

I managed to complete CoD5 on veteran, but I died about 739282163937287 times. Still missing a few missions in Cod4.

i have beaten all of cod4 except no fighting in the war room , damn you long hallways!!, and mile high club ,useless ai get in my way, im thinknig of just beating no fighting in the war room on hardened so i can get the beat entire game achievement..

On 4 I'm stuck on One Shot, One Kill because well I'm not the best quick reaction timer in the world, and on WaW I can't even beat the first mission because I get bored too easy from not even being able to advance.

 

[Antlovesabi]

COD5 first mission just stay prone for most of the mission and leave it to your useless 'team mates'

 

[JDviewer]

I always get stuck on One Shot, One Kill. I get to the Ferris wheel but I always get overwhelmed by the stupid numbers of soldiers.

 

[Thegoodfriar]

COD4 is tough in the end of the Veteran campaign, but if you are patient... and practiced then it should be a cakewalk.

..and the discussion is?

Yes yes, they are hard. I beat them both within a week.

Wow you're so cool. What a helpful, constructive comment.

I don't see the discussion here.

What can you talk about it?

"You know that one level with the enemies that you shoot at?"

"Yeah!"

"Yeah, it was really hard!!"

..seriously.

You must be very proud.

And I can never finish "One Shot, One Kill" or that other mission where you have to disarm the nukes. Those I find too hard.
The Mile High Club was, oddly enough, easy for me though.

Not really. I find myself to be pathetic to sit in front of the TV for 1 week just for one game's hardest difficulty.

*cries*

It's his fault that he's good? Or that he wants more of a discussion than "Oh, that was hard." "Yeah, it kinda was."?

I don't own CoD 4, but I have WaW, and it's not that hard on Veteran. The level where you have to deal with that damn countersniper was tough though... Mainly because the second it chose to autosave was when he'd already fired, so I had to duck every time I respawned, or I died again.

 

[Antlovesabi]

If anyone wants to discuss anything other than COD4 and COD5 difficulty levels then they're in the wrong thread.

I always get stuck on One Shot, One Kill. I get to the Ferris wheel but I always get overwhelmed by the stupid numbers of soldiers.

I discovered a solid tactic for completing that part - (be sure to have an AK for this). Go past the bumper car ring after setting macmillan down. There are 2 trees in a V shape here that are just on the levels limits (radiation detector will be sounding a bit). If you lie just to the right of the trees you are almost untouchable.
I'm not sure why but lying here forces all enemies to go around the bumper car rink to get to you. And the best part about the spot is they can hardly hit you AND you are out of grenade range. After I found this spot I did it first time.


And on topic - I've finished both games 1000/1000 GS and have to say veteran is hard but there is alot harder games than these on the highest difficulty. To get through them you just have to remember where each enemy, piece of over, ally advance point is. Once you get that down it makes things alot simpler.

Also someone mentioned Heat on veteran - oh god that was one of the most horrifying nights of gaming I've ever had. Probably on par with Blowtorch and Corkscrew in WaW (reichtstag levels were a cakewalk by comparison for me)

EDIT: sorry quoted wrong person at first

Finished both on Veteran the only two missions I died more than once on were the final two World at war levels.

If that's the case how come you only unlocked the "Throw a Six and a Half" trophy AFTER you finished the campaign? Surely if you finished all but the last 2 levels without dying more than once you would have unlocked it after the first few levels?

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

Yeah, they are quite difficult, especially when compared to the top difficulties of other games.

 

[maddawg IAJI]

COD World at War was proably a bit tougher for me then Modern Warfare.

Mainly because I often found myself surronded on all sides in World at War.

 

[Antlovesabi]

World at War is too hard on veteran difficulty because it takes so many deaths to complete each level. Still gotta stand by Mile High Club being hardest level.
