Mile High Club Veteran tale: my gf left me, family hates me for swearing so much and

[Foxhound300]

I think OP is exaggerating. Not because of my own experiences, but just because people can't hate you that much just because of a video game.

Also, my story is less grand. After completing every Veteran thing except for the Fourth Horseman (which is harder IMO), I looked at a Youtube vid to get a basic idea of the tactics. Then i got to work. Probably did it 70 times. Fell in love with the MP5 (though it's not as good in Multiplayer, i've realized). Took me about 2-3 hours. Meh.

this is definitely an achievement that you can't just play casually, you have to be prepared going into it. I still haven't gotten mine though I've tried many times...Maybe one day. It has helped me by watching videos on it before hand though

And in the title you mentioned your Girlfriend left you.

You sacrificed that stuff for an achievement?

:S

[Lord Terentius]

It definitely was incredibly frustrating. I think it's a real mark of someone's character the way they 'try' to approach achievements like this.

I've never been one to give up on anything and even if it takes way longer than others, I'd never throw in the towel and quit.

Yes, you can get mad and frustrated, but at the end of the day we play games for enjoyment.

When it finally unlocked for me last week, I had the biggest smile on my face since I got GoW's seriously

[Insane Sugar Rush]

Sorry to hear that, TC. I said dammit once trying to play this and my parents took huge offense to that. Eh, it happens.

[Seany Show]

This achievement was the scurge of my life for so long.I watched countless videos on how to do it correctly and followed them exactly, still no luck, it was always the last guy round the corner that got me because I had to reload, I finally managed to get to the last bit and then shot the hostage instead!!!I left the single player for awhile and just focused on multiplayer, until 1day my wireless was down so returned to this level and on my 2nd go.I managed to get it done with pure luck.Have not even looked at single player since due to it just being so frustrating.

I was swearing like a vile drunken guy and smashing me lil brother for disturbing me whenever I tried for this achievement.

I have become a changed man. It would have easily ruined my life. Pshycologically I am ruined.

PS: yes I finally got the achievement.

I wonder where they ever got the notion that video games cause violence from......

[JLogan27]

I'm too scared to try it. I've kept my Anger Monster down inside me for so long now, I'd hate to ruin all my hard work suppressing him. Plus, my house is nice, I'd hate to black out and destroy it.

Seriously this whole thread is pretty sad. Some games may be super hard....but no game will ever get me so angry that I chuck a $60 piece of equipment at the wall.

Maybe if it was less expensive, then? Say...$20?

[Royle]

I went through like 2 controller and a headset for that achievement. Then my brother tried and did it in the first 30 mins. I was so annoyed, I wasted all that time and my brother could have done it for me all along :/

[OrangeSodaOwns]

All i did is try every week and got it on last month on first try :S

[Vapourise]

ROFL, this level is a piece of piss ands its not even 1 minute long.

did it 1st time on hardend and 6th try to get it on veteran.

[Napior]

Got it first try on hardened, Theirs just not enough time on veteran for me to finish it

[Xc0mmand0]

took me an hour. I want to know how you lost your girl friend because of it?

[Slunge]

Lol I got this by luck, I had 5 tries couldn't get past the first part. Then on the 6th try I got to the end.

[DRCL]

I don't understand why this thread is even still open / posted in... :\ It's all a pathetic tale.. If you seriously lose your social life to a game like this.. You really should sort that out.. Not tell the world on a site.. :\

[DreadZer0]

you want true anger? try kingpin on Saints Row 1. MHC can be done offline at least.

[Weeeezy Carter]

All I have to say is god damn this achievement!

Had the game almost a year and still don't have it. I give it a go every few months when I'm bored. At first I thought it was impossible until I saw the knife only vid. Now I know I'll get it eventually. When I do get it will be the one achievement I'm actually proud of getting. But I'd never loose my woman or beat on somebody over a game.

[SectarianOrigin]

It took me 3 hours to get it on mine. Then I got it on two of my friends accounts. The first friend I got it on the third attempt, so withing 40 minutes. The second friend took me about an hour. All in all, I got the achievement 3 times in a total of 4 hours and 40 minutes of playing time.

[peppermagik]

sucks for you i got it in about an hour of playing
my first 1000/1000 game btw

[pwnasaur123]

none of u swear as much as me i finally got to the end were the hostage is but i accidently shot him and not the badie so i was mad but in the end i finally got it

[ladysman14]

fuck this achievement!!! FUCK IT! WAY TOO HARD! FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCK!!: mad:

[Jedi ObiJoe]

I have been trying to get this achievement for months. I have to take long periods of time off because it stresses me out. I've seen the videos (someone was even nice enough to send me one through this site) still can't get it. I'll keep trying though. Good luck to all those who are still trying - congrats to those who have it.

Don't let video games get the better half of you.

Very wise words..

It's called an achievement for a reason...You're supposed to achieve something.

[TheWarriorElite]

i played through the whole game on veteran in 1 day and then started for the mile high club achievement it took me about 40mins of swearing but i finally got itdont let it beat you keep trying and you will succeed

[Curtis]

Got it 3rd try..

[eskarid]

I just atched a guide and got it within an hour. I think that "the fourth horsemen" and especially "the ultimatum" were waaaaaaaaay more difficult (*reminds himself of the bottom of the launching silo's*)

[dethklok]

I honestly don't feel sorry for the OP. Why did he make this thread? because he wants people to feel sorry for him. He was the one who has chosen to play the game. He was the one who chosen to curse out his family and he was the one who chosen to not spend time with the girlfriend. The game didn't do it nor did we. In all honesty why would you let a video game get the better half of you in the 1st place. Its just a game!!!!!!!! No game is worth ruining your life over. I guess you'll think twice about it huh

moral of this story is, when getting frustrated, don't curse and TAKE A BREAK from the game. Do not ignore your girlfriend and she wont leave you for a guy who isn't obsessed with video games
