Veteran Difficulty Level On COD4 and COD5

[MrSnugglesworth]

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.

No fighting in the War Room is what kept me down. All it was, was lack of checkpoints. I'd fight through one hallway, only to discover another one, and no checkpoint.

You think that Call of Duty was hard on veteran? You've got a little thing called regenerating health, buddy. Call of Duty 1 with no regenerating health on veteran. You wouldn't last.

Those aren't nearly as hard as Gears of War 2 on Insane. It took me so long to beat. I had to play it on co-op because on single player it was like 4 shots and you're instantly dead and there are enemies constantly surrounding you.

Yeah the problem with that level is that the checkpoint will only 'check' if you reach it in a certain time limit.

The reason though is because if you don't reach it within that limit you're pretty screwed anyway, as the big doors take an age to open.

In a way, it's the game being cruel to be kind...

Though any game with a timer is never kind.

It would be better if they didn't have a shitload of scripted enemy placements and infinite respawns.

I beat Gears 2 solo on insane and found it easier than COD4 Veteran.

There were some horrific difficulty spikes though: the tank level, waiting for Jack to open Maria's cage, defending the Satt Comm from the reavers with the (quite frankly broken) turret while Dom scratches his ass beside you.

I can do all the veteran ones on COD 4 except for Mile High Club and No Fighting In The War Room.
