Hardest 360 fps game

Abooie · 1 Nov 2007 at 12:36

Now I completed COD2 and COD3 on Veteran, Both GRAWS on Elevated, R6V on Realistic and Gears of War on Insane on me tod though I did cheat a bit with RAAM.

Halo 3 I've only completed on Normal. I really struggled with the first level on Heroic so god knows what it would be like on Legendary. Maybe I'm just not getting how to play it as I tend to just run in all guns blazing. (Would be up for a coop legendary massive session if anyone's interested? / sorry change of subject).

Anyhoo I was sorting out my rentals and added MoH which I've read is very very hard on the hardest setting and wondered which I thought were genuinely the toughest games I've played. I'm not counting the pussy cats which are Prey/Bioshock/The Darkness and I came to this as my order of toughness:

Halo 3 > COD3 > COD2 > R6V > GoW > GRAW > GRAW2

COD2 was tough but due to some ridiculous checkpoint decisions COD3 just beats it. R6V was very very hard until I found the shield and I personally didn't have much trouble with GRAW at all (GRAW 2 was insultingly easy).

PS, so as not to feel left out, how would R:FoM figure into all this?

Yep a team of Rambo's desperately trying to get the kills

Which stairs are you stuck on nokkon? Thats calypso casino I think. The most important think in the game is to always position your team where they can heal each other even when under fire. So when one gets dropped you just select heal him and he drops to his knees behind cover.

Totally; I found that one of the hardest things was if you're team member gets into trouble somewhere where you can't get to him to heal him in time. Nothing worse than having to restart after your team mate dies.

The hardest part point blank for me was that darn part where you have to climb up level after level in open casino with no checkpoint until you're at the top... Getting up the first escalator alone was a nightmare

You can't run in guns blazing on Legendary, you have to take it slow and steady on your own. Sniping helps an awful lot. Of course if you get in a 4 player co-op it's not bad at all.

I wouldn't say CoD3 on veteran was tough, just annoying but apart from that I pretty much agree with your list although I've yet to play GRAW 2.

Heh

I know this really, was making a little joke as it's how I played it through on normal (and it was a bit easy if I'm honest).

Anyway I've got some buddies coming along to play on Legendary from Monday night (3 of us) so we'll see how hard it really is.

I also remember that bit in Dantes Casino very well. Do as dannyjo says and make sure your shots hit so you don't get swarmed and you'll be fine. Also watch out for a couple of stragglers after you think you've killed everyone.

And... no ones mentioned how hard some of the Terrorist Hunts were!

but isn't GoW TPS? (third)

Aye (pedant

). I nearly put a disclaimer saying GoW and GRAW counted as fps for this conversation. (And it's my thread so I can do what I like! lol)

I didnt think they were. Zico and I did them all apart from research labs in one sitting. They are excellent fun though. Once or twice we got down to the last man and had them kill us from behind.

I did them coop with my mrs (don't laugh) on normal and they weren't too bad. On me tod on Realistic I thought some were pretty darn tough though (damn dam anyone?).

I also finished the first level of Halo3 last night on Legendary coop with 1 other person and it really wasn't that bad. As long as one person makes sure to stay alive it's a case of picking everyone off one at a time and moving on.

So alone I'd still rank it as very hard but coop, it's really not that bad and I'd revise it to GRAW level for difficulty. There will be 3 of us tonight so it should be even easier; a lot fun though!
