Shorty Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 All that stuff about balance and killstreaks never bothered me. I knew it was happening, but it was so much fun I didn't really care. Each side had the same advantages anyway.
Caris Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Has anyone finished this on Veteran? If so, how was it?
Solo Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 I'm on the final mission. It isn't too difficult (certainly doesn't reach levels of frustration as with World at War). There are a few instances where you will throw the controller at the screen; notably storming down then up the hill in Vietnam and other parts where you have to fend off waves. Thankfully the AI doesn't spam 'nades any more, but they still pull of freaky headshots.
James Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Just had a great game on sticks and stones, my mate was leading way way ahead and I got a tomahawk plant on him in the very last second, needless to say he said a few expletives at me.
Ganepark32 Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 People seem to have gotten complacent with this online already. I've never had as many claymore kills as I've had recently in any other Call of Duty game. It's amazing. It's not even as though I'm putting them in out of the way places where they wouldn't be hard to spot (mainly just sticking them by doorways and occasionally behind crates as all the maps pretty much encourage it with so many corners and few large open spaces) and I've even planted some which enemy players have seen me putting down but they still run on through and get killed . So all the custom loadouts I have have claymores because people just don't seem to bother to look before running through a doorway. Also found out that dual Colt Pythons are very effective both close and at range. Pretty much like rolling double shotguns but with no diminished sprint speed for having them out.
LegoMan1031 Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Has anyone finished this on Veteran? If so, how was it? Ive only done the first 3 levels so far. Wasn't 2 bad till got to the end of the third in the tunnel area, that was a bitch to get through!!
Chuck Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Ive only done the first 3 levels so far. Wasn't 2 bad till got to the end of the third in the tunnel area, that was a bitch to get through!! I'm going through it first time on Veteran like I did with Modern Warfare. I've probably spent the most amount of time just before the tunnel area and in the lab area inside the tunnel on the Rocket mission. I've just done the hill bit in Vietnam. Going down took a bit of know-how, but I went up the other side in one try.
LegoMan1031 Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 The hills were no problem for me. However for whatever reason im struggling on the rooftops at the mo!!
Dan_Dare Posted November 19, 2010 Posted November 19, 2010 Either I've had a bad night on this or it can just...generally fuck off. I think this is probably going in for NFS tomorrow.
MadDog Posted November 20, 2010 Posted November 20, 2010 I'm selling my PS3 copy of this over in the bargain boards, due to my phone screen smashing, i could really do with the money. Will take £32 inc. P+P. Thanks
James Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 This game is so easy online it's weird, I can easily get 20+ kills to say 4 or 5 deaths using the right gun, any gun after the enfield is mental powerful and just makes it easy, the fal is a 2 shot kill gun. Considering they were talking about wanting to make this game harder to kill each other online I find this incredibly weird.

Considering they were talking about wanting to make this game harder to kill each other online I find this incredibly weird. I'm finding it more that the vast majority of players are absolutely awful. No one looks at what they're doing, sprinting round corners etc. It is actually harder to kill people (IMO) because it takes more shots and its not always the first person to shoot. In MW2 whoever shot first would win pretty much, now you actually have to place your shots a bit more.

Considering they were talking about wanting to make this game harder to kill each other online I find this incredibly weird. It will get harder, as the casuals leave. You have to remember there's a lot of people playin right now that won't be playin in a few months. But it does get too easy sometimes. Ever since I hit 50 and stopped playin Headquartes and got back to Ground War / Team Deathmatch, it's just been insane. Thursday I got 3 dogs in a single Ground War TDM game (don't use care packages, so yeah, that's three different 11 kills killstreaks). On that matter, my combat record seems to be glitchin... it says my higest streak is 2... wtf?

The amount of times i've shot first and a level 40+ with an awesome assault rifle headshots me, bah. Though i have managed to rack up quite a few kills on this compared to the others.
James Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 Yeah I suppose alot of people are new to the game, but so many don't use the mini map, it's such a vital part of winning, i'm behind the enemy no ghost or silencer shooting them, completely fuck it up and have to reload, it's so obvious i'm behind them but I just reload and kill them. Today I changed my killstreak load out, chopper gunner, was calling it in nearly every match i was in this evening, it is fun to use, i just like the bit where he opens the door and you get the gun ready. haha. Reminds me of this.
LegoMan1031 Posted November 21, 2010 Posted November 21, 2010 Completed this on vet last night. As others have said it does get easier as you go on (except rebirth island, i found that one quite hard- the vehicle bit was the worst).

As others have said it does get easier as you go on (except rebirth island, i found that one quite hard- the vehicle bit was the worst). Did you get a checkpoint when you were in that vehicle that screwed you up? Both myself, my mate and my nephew did. The game would give us a checkpoint right when we were under fire so as soon as it loaded back up we were getting killed pretty much instantly. We had to quickly pick our shots and hope that some of the enemies would miss.

Yeah, mine was as i blew up the helicopter before turning a bend, so everytime it loaded the copter had just been blown up but a load infront shooting at me then several groups round the bend!! Don't think i will be getting the zombie related achievements in this, ive not got a group of people who i can work through them with as they look like they will take time and patience kinda thing.
Platty Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 Ok, I'm addicted to Zombies. Never had WAW so this is a new experience for me. LOVE IT. Made it up to level 22 earlier with 3 mates. 2 freakin' hours we were on it. Loved every minute of it though.
Kav Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 I gave the 360 version a blast at my bro's at weekend and enjoyed kicking some ass. Loved the Chopper Gunner killstreak and if I'm honest, I am a bit gutted it's not included in the Wii version as I'd roll with Attack Helicopter, Chopper Gunner and Attack Dogs if it did. How's everyone finding the game? Are you representing N-Europe online at all as Lostmario suggested?
Oxigen_Waste Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 Invite me to theatre mode if you see me online. Lol, everytime I get online, I check to see if you're online, and it always says you were last online 10-30 mins ago. Ah!
Oxigen_Waste Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 The barrel part on Veteran is absolutely ridiculous. Like, the worst thing I've ever seen in videogame history. It's surreally hard. It's even worse than the WAW veteran mode... I'm just... speechless.
Aimless Posted November 25, 2010 Posted November 25, 2010 I've been giving Veteran a go and it's awful. As in I genuinely doubt a single person tried the difficulty before shipping the game, so numerous and obvious are the design flaws. Generally speaking I'll bump up the difficulty for all games I play, but Black Ops on Veteran isn't hard, it's unfair. Cheap. Not fun. And yet I'll still finish it, for its rubbishness cannot stand up to my stubbornness.

I agree with the fact that it isn't difficult, It's just ridiculous. that one fucking tunnel / corridor... that has put me off it for a long time, i completed it normal, did the level based achievements and am no playing Single player. I would have to be extremely bored to go back on it on Veteran again now.
