COD 4 Veteran Level

[Fr0dders]

Anybody played any of the missions on COD 4 on veteran ?

ive finished the game on Hardened, so set about trying a couple of the missions on veteran to see what its like

As if Hardened wasnt bad enough, Veteran is just insane. You just have to be looked at by somebody before they kill you. Ive no idea what weapon they have, but they sure as hell aint the weapons im using, they fire like P90s, but pack the firepower of the RPK, and can be shot from the hip whilst running with 100 % accuracy

I tryed the last mission, the epilogue mission. Its simply impossible. I kill the first 3 guards, flashbang the gang in the first room, take those 6 or 7 out and flashbang the next room, take out the 9 or so people in there (all without taking a single bullet) but by this time im usually on less than 20 seconds, and just dont have the time to fight my way through everybody on the top deck in time. Ive managed to kill everybody at the end of the hallway , but not enough time to run down there and get to the end bloke, let alone kill him.

anybody want to give it a try and let us know how you get on ?

I completed the game on veteran. I had no idea just how hard it was going to be, if I did know I probably wouldn't have bothered. I always play on the hardest difficulty though, gives me a greater sense of achievement and value. However, I found about 90% to be infuriatingly frustrating. It almost ruined the game for me, I was too stubborn to give in though.

It was the kind of difficulty I like to play after I have completed a game and becomes unlocked afterwards. It might be less about skill and more about how many times you are willing to retry a mission!

whats the secret to the epilogue mission ?

i can do it without a time limit ,but find the 1 minute time limit too much. Just cant get up stairs with enough time to fight my way down to the bottom of the plane in time.

only way to do the "rush down the hill level" is to rush down the right hand side of the map

on hardened and above there are too many to fight, you just dont have the time. You just leg it, and avoid most of the other troops. You just then leave your AI team mates to find their own way down. thankfully they cant be killed in the same way you can, so manage just fine. Then just hop onto the chopper and fly away

ferris wheel mission is similar, you cant play it like you would on normal and stand and fight. You have to go off and run and hide somewhere and not even try to fight them. Theres 2 ways to do it, go prone inside the ticket booth next to the wheel and they just grenade you. Grenades do no damage and they dont try and come in to you. The odd one might land inside but just throw it out. When the chopper arrives, run and pick him up and and leg it onto the chopper

Other way (the way i did it) was to run to the place where the first wave of baddies came from. IF you run behind the swimming baths the second lot of re-inforcements dont come. Just the guys in the chopper. Shoot any of them that find you then leg it to your bloke and pick him up when the chopper arrives

but like i said, you're wasting your time trying to play it properly on hardened or veteran.

i said "properly" because for example, on the rush down the hill to the chopper mission, your supposed to fight your way down and kill everybody you find

but assuming you lay C4 / claymores at the enterance to the field, and kill everone that comes, you waste too much time doing so and leave yourself not enough time to get the to chopper

whats more, if you exit the field the way your supposed to, it triggers another wave of re-inforcements comming up the hilll and you have no cover to shoot at them. You just appear in front of them on the brow of a hill

only way to do it, is to kill as many as you can at the main fields, then leg it down the right hand side of the map, and not wait (like your supposed to) for your team to come with you. They try and go the main way out of the farm.

So you just run down the right hand side of the map, let your team fight there way through the enemy, going down the hill the way your supposed to go. Your team mates are completely invulnerable and the enemies seem to swtich off when fighting your team. When shooting at your team mates, their ROF drops back to easy level, and they become stupid. So they just catch you up 30 seconds later.

as soon as you try and shoot however, they fire back at minigun speeds and with RPK damage from the hip whilst running....

Harderned wasn't hard though (bar the flashback level where you are next to the LZ at the ferris wheel).

The only thing I really can't do on Veteran, is the very last level, on the aircraft. The timelimit is insane.

lookin on youtube

only way its possible is to flash people and run by them. and let your team mates mop up

I don't understand how you're supposed to do the CoD4 training thing in 19 seconds (or was it 16)..! That's just... mental. I'd have to do it for hours to do that. I think I did it in 34 seconds.

ive done it in 14.x (think the x was 9) seconds without too much effort

somebody on here did it in 13.something though !!
