I just finished Modern Warfare 2 on Veteran. I do not recommend it. I’ll be posting about it within the next couple of days.

I don’t really have anything to add to this discussion. However, I have started MW2 on veteran, and I have to say it is just wretched. The developers of that game should be ashamed of themselves.

Vanberge – Thank you vanberge I appreciate the kind words. Yeah really the only reason I played this on veteran was for the “G”. The COD games really make you work for it. Also I saw that Elliot beat it on Veteran so I figured I would give it a shot. I played World at War on Hardened and it wasn’t THAT bad. Yeah I would die but I could make steady progress. COD4 is really just brutal.

Honestly right now I’m glad I live alone and my neighbors must think I’m insane. I might have broken a few teeth due to frustration on this game. The difficulty on this game is so odd. Some parts are really easy. The last mission took me two tries. Also the game must have been designed mouse/keyboard in mind. I’m not sure if MW2 is any different (I would be certain that game was designed 360 in mind due to monetary potential (map packs)) but COD4 is rough on aiming sometimes.

Vo – Please hold tight any remaining sanity you have for something important…like Final Fantasy X. Clearly you PROMISED me you would beat that game if I let you borrow it so you must hold up your end of the bargain

Some of the problems with this game was mostly my own shortcomings. I’m MUCH better at games these days where I can play around with the combat rather then do what I have to do or be reliant on reactionary reflexes. When I play games I like to look around and try to find broken stuff or go off the “course” so to speak. COD4 really just wants you to do one thing and Veteran doesn’t afford the luxury of screwing around. You might have better luck then I did to be honest online I wasn’t able to find too many posts about people complaining about how hard this game was.

Despite my general lack of sanity already, I feel I have to play this game on veteran, as the previous completion I have on this game is hardened on my non-live gamertag. This is incredible unacceptable that I have lost G due to my own ridiculousness. Only veteran will be acceptable from this point on. Besides, I suck enough at games that I constantly die on regular. The increased amount of death that awaits me in veteran will not anger me any more.

This is a pretty impressive accomplishment. GG vanlandw.

the 30-40G you can get for every mission beaten on veteran is definitely enough to make me consider trying it for every CoD game that I play.

Usually I elect for a not-quite-so-impossible “Hardened” – that still gives you the big 90 or 100 point achievement for completing the game on Hardened/Veteran.

Maybe with a mouse and KB as you mentioned in your post but with an xbox controller; and being a “reverse mouse” guy, these kinds of games on expert level difficulties are nothing more than raised blood pressure for me. Well, I guess broken things in my house too.
