Veteran Difficulty Level On COD4 and COD5

[HaloHappy]

I try my best, but despite my efforts, I'm continuously screwed over by unlimited bombardments of grenades and a bullet that has the ability to strike the tattoo on my right arm and make me hyperventilate.

I must of tried every level on both games on veteran a good 20-30 times and there are still a fair few on each game that i can't get the achievement for. I do get bored with continuously losing easily but these games are close to impossible.

Let me know which missions in COD4 you're having trouble with.

I finally beat the entire game on Veteran recently and it was one of the best feelings I've ever had as a gamer getting the Mile High Club Acheivement.

Beating that plane level is like learning a ballet dance, every move you make for the entire minute has to be perfectly timed and learned through trial and error. One mistake and you're fucked.

You have to get lucky with the AI too because your teammates are retarded and will block your route/not kill anything.

Oh, and FLASHBANGS!

I found No Fighting in the War Room to be the worst. Took me days.

Agreed, I distinctly remember being stuck on this one checkpoint for a full hour of continuous trying, to say nothing else of the rest of the level. One Shot One Kill, Heat, the level just before All Ghillied up, and No Fighting in the War Room are insane. And that's ignoring Mile High Club. I feel proud though: I 1000'd Cod 4 twice (first account got hacked), the experience from the first time was invaluable for the second.

That said, I couldn't get past the first level on Okinawa in W@W on veteran, it was just that hard.

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?

More than once, meaning I died on the last two levels more than once.

Edit: I forgot I linked my PSN here.

Wish i could complete both bloody games. That's bad that veteran difficulty put you off playing the game that defeats the fun aspect of the game.

EDIT: Mile high club mainly

On mile high club just see what works and what dosn't, know what your enemies are going to do and base your moves around it (probably took me about 12 tries, but I already knew what I was doing thanks to the magic of the internet)..start from easier difficulty and go up.

I beet COD 4 on vet..it just takes time and alot of trials and errors.
I'm too lazy to do COD5 on vet because of all those damn grenades, i'm about half way through it though.

WaW=was so easy, once you let them lob all their nades. Unfortunately... that does seem to take rather a long time.

CoD4 was so amazing on veteran, i found the whole game much more immersive, especially the one where you carry your wounded sniper mate, then have to fend off several hundered gosh darn russians, for several gosh darn minutes, until the gosh darn heli comes. :') That was amazing. Even if it took me and hour and a half...

I didn't know enemies ran out of grenades for a start lol. Will keep trying even though tried MHC a good 50 times now.

I found COD WAW's veteran mode to be much easier than COD4's. I beat both and COD4's took me many more days. They both aren't too hard though if you know how to effectively take cover and throw back grenades.

I refuse to go back to W@W Veteran, it's just unfair. I get what you're saying about CoD4 though, the experience really did come together on Veteran.

Offtopic, just thought I'd let you know that it's okay to curse on this site.

So you died exactly once for all the levels? Huh.. can you explain how Purple Heart (die 5 times at one checkpoint) is your 5th unlocked trophy in WaW then?

Borrowed game from a friend and tried to counter a banzai attack but thought it was like dogs were you had to press at the exact time they stab you.

Atleast you have still got the mindset to know when to turn off the console

..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.

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 see the discussion here.

Yet here we are, already over 70 posts into a thread that is only a couple of hours old...

If you don't want to join this discussion or feel it does not merit talking about, why join it? Just to be a bully and belittle people's posts?

 

[Antlovesabi]

That's exactly what i thought. The idea of a forum to to discuss things between us and if someone doesn't like the topic then why bother read and/or post.

I was bored.

Was I belittling his thread?

A little, but to be honest, I'm just curious what the hell the discussion is.

As a said "..and the discussion is?"

It's not like I posted-

"What in god's name are you talking about?!?!? There is no discussion here you stewped newb!!"

Because unfortunately people seem to enjoy pissing on others' parades.

Maybe they get bullied at school or by thier little brother, and have to take it out on the internet. They probably just need a hug.

 

[Antlovesabi]

Cyberhug for all the haters. I know this is kind of going off top now so yeah. About COD4 difficulty levels which will more than likely be the death of me.

The discussion is...

Levels people found the hardest...

People who didn't find it hard saying how easy it was...

Which game is harder?

Which aspects of the games were difficult for different people?

How people felt when they finally beat them...

People advising eachother how to beat the most difficult parts

I think the 78 posts speak for themselves.

Do you really need a hug that badly?

Don't bully people on the web, it's pretty sad.
