Well i still aint played this game but apparently its kinda fun and 1k gamerscore is pretty easy?

I have completed COD4 on 1k Gamerscore so would this be a problem?

Agent Earl · 12-07-2008, 04:29 PM

it is by NO means easy
way harder on veteran than cod4

It's certainly a straightforward 1k, but by no means easy. I haven't played CoD4 yet, but from everything I've heard, 2 is much harder.

I think I summarised my feelings on this game pretty well in this post. CLICKY

If anyone claims this game is easy on veteran is simply.... a big fat liar! I have 3 more levels to go and I'm forever stuck on getting past the D-Day level. IMO, this is ALOT harder than COD4, and COD:W@W is a cake walk compared to this God-forsaken COD2

I found COD4 kinda easy.. just took practice

Erm I kind of found COD 2 a breeze compared to COD 4.
Yes,this game has its moments,but they are puncuated with excellent checkpoints that keep you from quiting and making you have "just one more try" and because of that checkpoint you realise that the next part aint that bad after all.

A excellent example,I was absolutely dreading Hill 400,first the shooting of the mortar teams ( again ) and then the defence whilst waiting for re-inforcements.
Well shooting the mortar teams,you just keep a low profile in the trench area bordering the barbed wire which en-circles the area you are defending.
Hit 2 or 3 mortar teams,hit a checkpoint....rinse and repeat.

Then for the defence of Hill 400,I must of killed a maximum of 20 - 25 Germans ( and not the 100's I was supposed to of faced ).
I experimented with a couple of areas I could lay prone,normally against a crate at my feet,protecting me from long range attacks from behind.
I practically lay prone whilst picking off the odd German that slipped through the excellent AI of my band of brothers,just watching the 5 minute timer count down and getting checkpoint after checkpoint.
Too easy and the last level was even easier,

Honestly,Cod 5 Heart of the Reich had me hitting my head with my controller.....COD 2 I was smiling all the way through not believing my luck ( OK the church on Caen was a bitch......shudder!!!! ).

In order of difficulty for me,easy to hard;
COD 3 ( lets not talk about that,could not be bothered play that properly)
COD 2 ( a brilliant difficulty arc from start to finish )
COD 5 ( Heart of the Reich,say no more )
COD 4 ( I forget the name of the level,you are in tunnels against a timer...argghhhhhhh,3 evenings of playing just that level ).

Just be clever about this game,use smoke,use prone,use cover,get to those invisible prompts that move your team forward and let them do most of the work.
I have just completed this in 1 week,playing a few hours each evening and I even skipped one evening to go the cinema......as stated above one level on COD 4 took me 3 evenings lol

It's easy to banter back and forth which one is easier and which one is harder, but it all comes down to who finds which game easier, combined with different skill levels and a pinch of luck.

Although that said I know more people who thought CoD4 was easier, saying that I got about halfway through CoD2's veteran and gave up, but couldn't be bothered to attempted CoD4's veteran because I had enough trouble on normal with one particular part of the game so didnt want to bother on Vet.

Overall though I think the main difference is that CoD4 might be slightly easier but it's checkpoints are further apart than CoD2, not only that but some of the levels on 4 are auto pilot pretty much, like the overhead bombing level and a couple others where you don't do a whole lot. CoD2 is constant grenade barrages the entire way through the game, and some of the ambushes are a nightmare because at least with CoD4 you can advance quickly and they stop spawning, several areas on CoD2 you have to wipe out everything before continuing, at one such point there is NO safe point to hide, you literally have to work out the best way of taking out guys to give you a place to hide breifly and take them out in a split second.

i don't think either game is easier per se, but cod2's achievements are more striaghtfoward and take less time than cod4. there are no collectibles, no stabbing three enemies in a row, ridiculous time limits. etc. just play the game on veteran and you'll have the full 1000 unlike cod 4

SynysterMonkey · 01-07-2009, 03:36 AM

This game is loads harder than Call of Duty 4. Be prepared to be angry.

awesomepizza · 01-07-2009, 07:28 AM

I played this game once at a friends house back when it first came out. I really wanted to play it, but didn't buy a 360 until recently. I just ordered it because I was having a lot of fun with 3 & 4. I don't plan to beat the entire game on Veteran, maybe just a few levels.....

I do remember the one level I did play was a Russian level, with German bombers, and about no cover in a square.....

SpectruM · 01-07-2009, 08:20 AM

I'd say Veteran remains equally difficult between games; it's the tactics you use—or to be more exact, the ones you can't use, that make certain levels harder. Oh, and lack of checkpoints... you'll only notice this during the D-Day level, the others are very forgiving.

DarkAssassin357 · 01-15-2009, 06:40 PM

I would say 2 is a little bit harder than 4, but they are both very fun, and are well worth the time and money.

Exane22 · 01-15-2009, 06:46 PM

They honestly are about the same, if you were good at CoD4 then you will have almost no problem with 2. Yeah, you are going to die... A LOT, just like in 4. But as long as you keep pushing youll learn the enemies movements through each part and as long as you are thinking, no part in the game will really hold you up at all.
