Yeah sorry about that. I’m sure it wasn’t easy that wasn’t my intention. Your accomplishment is very impressive to say the least.

You are jjafuller without question or shadow of doubt

You make it sound like MW2 on Veteran was easy because I was able to do it. Don’t forget that I also defeated COD4 on Veteran a hell of a lot faster than you did.

COD4 is a much better game in theory, and if you were not playing on veteran that would be really obvious. The events in MW2 make little to no sense.

As far as the things you actually do, I think COD4 makes much more sense. In that game they had a better sense for realism, they just did not put enough time into play testing and fine tuning things.

When I playing COD4 (something I failed to mention in my post) is I skipped all the cut scenes every one of them. Mostly I’m pretty forgiving in watching story lines but COD’s felt pretty skipable. I played the game to beat it.

Everything I’ve heard about solo MW2 storyline wise sounds pretty lame. After seeing JJA being able to finish this on Vet I might have to give it a try someday mostly out of spite.

Also watching the videos the “blood” effect when you get shot is rancid not that COD4 was good but yikes that is distracting and especially when playing on veteran your going to get shot like 3000 times.

Watching the videos the game does seem more “fair”. Yeah there might be some hard to see guys but overall I’m sure game play wise this game will be better.

MW2 multiplayer I believe uses a level system where it doesn’t make all weapons and play styles available to players so to me that feels unfair. Major skip for me. Halo does it best all the weapons are usable by everybody and you have nobody to blame other then yourself for dying. You don’t die because somebody has played for days and has better weapons and classes and abilities. I’m all for rewards systems and leveling but in a shooter not so much.

I might be wrong on this I haven’t played COD multi since COD1.

I’m really not a huge fan of the multiplayer either. I played it a little bit and gave it a chance – I think the big draw is the leveling up feature and getting the “achievements” that MW offers for mastering weapons etc.

However, I dont like that very much.

I played the game on hardened; and that 5th Takedown stage was a pain in the ass even on that difficulty level.

I do think the veteran difficulty jades one’s perception of the game – because I found the gameplay to be quite enjoyable with the variety of things they were able to work into the first person shooter (ice climbing, snomobiling, repelling, removing lethal instruments from your person, etc) so that added a nice variety.

The storyline was just bat-shit over the top there is no way anyone can say otherwise.
