Anyone beat Veteran mode yet?

[Eilujin]

I was just wondering how people are making out with this. Are you even trying to beat the game in this mode for the gamerscore?

So far I have done the full Russian and British Campaign in Regular which is pretty easy imo. In Veteran so far I have the Russian campaign all completed with the first 2 missions of the British campaign done. I find it is a totally different game playing in Veteran. Its VERY VERY hard and somewhat more enjoyable and challenging. The game is just getting harder and I heard that the American Campaign is even harder than the others on Regular game setting. Just looking for some thought.

peace. :dancing:

[Ogio]

Ive started going thru it again on VET (beat it once on normal) and its crazy. Just started it on vet, only a few missions in and Im allready not looking forward to taking the hill again. I can see me breaking a controller or two out of rage on that mission.

[davidcena]

me too its impossible to kill someone for me on veterain mode.

[GamePlaya4Life]

This game sounds better and better the more I hear about it. Can't wait til I get it.

[SgT SuDDeN]

Dude - The american campaign on normal is hard enough, I cant imagine it on Veteran.

I have 2 more missions (campaigns) and I am done with it! W00T! :thrasher:

@ GamePlaya4Life

If you like First Person Shooters - You have GOT to get this game!
It is totally engrosing! Great on STD def tv even BETTER on Widescreen HD!
Sgt / Capt always yelling out to you, throw smoke, watch out potatoe smasher (nade). You feel like your in the mist of it! Your squad actually have brains (AI) is very responsive! Even the Germans - I have died in areas and tried different routes and the Germans had responded differently!
This game is superb!

1 of my favorite moments was sniping from the water tower, at the germans setting up launchers from all sides! Also clearing the those houses!
What a BLAST!
Man..theres times where you have to press forward or the GERMANS keep COMING AND COMING! and then there's others where your being ordered to fall back a hold an area, untill reinforcements arrive!

anyway - I have to state that I am not a WW2 fan at all. But this game grabs you and puts you in the game!

My 2 C3NT$

[Matrix231]

Yea thats right i beat Veteran!!!! It was hard at first, but then you get use to dieing about 1000 times. Yes the American Missions are harder than the British and Russian missions, but not impossible to beat. Trust me I beat veteran if you don't then just check out my gamer card Matrix231

[Ogio]

In veteran mode death will be your best friend i promise

[jt_mares]

well i havent picked this up yet but i think you guys just made it my next game, sounds awesome!

[QuantuM]

i beat most of the game to find out the reason i wasnt unlocking any achievements was cause it needs to be played in Vet mode. OMG! SO HARD!!!! Death everywhere!! I know this is going to take me forever :-(.

[TooMuchButtHair]

I'm working my way through the first American Campaign on Veteran - it's REALLY hard. The first part of the D-Day mission was damn near impossible.

[Eilujin]

All I have left now is the last campaign for the British, and the first 2 for the USA (D-Day & Hill 400) everything else is completed in Vet mode. I should have this completed soon enough

:rock:

[slobdell]

I have never come closer to smashing my xbox 360 with a sledge hammer. I have completed 5 missions on veteran and I am stuck on this one part that I cannot pass for right now. I get so angry its unbelievable. And to think the only reason I am doing it is for my damn gamer score!

[slobdell]

also, for anyone that says it sounds awesome. its about as awesome as a heart attack

[Ogio]

Me to man, and the best part is we are going thru all this death and destruction for gamerscore points that dont really do anything for you.

PS-5 missions finished on veteran, so your on the ambushed mission were your jeep gets hit by the truck, then all hell breaks loose inbetween a bunch of buildings with no escape other than death death and more death.

[Ogio]

my buddy Eilujin just went thru it yesterday and still gets all red in the face when we talk about it.

Are you on the Ambush mission? You must be... That was the Hardest part on Vet mode to date. It took me a long time to figure it out. VERY FRUSTRATING. Yes a sledgehammer was in my thoughts, I was also considering if $60 for a new wireless controller may be worth throwing across the room.

If it is that part you are stuck on, I can give you some pointers on how to get by it, very VERY tricky.

But still I love the Challenge, I love to find games worth playing on such a difficulty that is this much fun, yet so frustrating.

The ambush was a PAIN IN THE ASS!!! But I got news for ya, it gets harder...I'm on the level where you have to take this little town - buildings A through F. I have all of then except F. It's a REALLY hard level. I think the first part of D-Day was the hardest though. . . .

When I finish this game on Veteran, I will feel like I actually accomplished something (hopefully). LOL!

[slobdell]

Yea, I am on the ambush mission. I tried the very beginning about 17 times before I got past it, I got to the first checkpoint which is right actually in the same spot just after you kill all the guys.

Now thats where I'm stuck, I kill like 100 guys and it takes me 20 minutes but I never reach a checkpoint. Then I have to start over. I was really hoping it got easier.

[Jackal]

I personally believe Veteran on this game is harder than ledgendary on Halo. That's just me though.

I beat the game on difficult and I'm almost done with the Russian campagne on Veteran. Personally, the American campagne was the hardest and defending Hill 400 was the hardest level to me. I can't wait to get pissed off and throw my nice wireless controller through the TV when I get there.

I think it's pretty cool though because you have to change your strategy with the harder difficulty.

[jt_mares]

i am "looking forward" to veteran mode, just picked it up two nights ago, little more to go on normal. yeah d-day is prob gonna take a few hours just to get into the trenches lol, mkaes me wish i had a ps3, so when i throw my controller in anger...




[QUOTE=Jackal]I personally believe Veteran on this game is harder than ledgendary on Halo. That's just me though.[QUOTE]

yeah, side note at least halos legendary is possible, halo2 on the other hand, couldnt even get off the gun platform on my own.

[korphaeron]

I started the campaign on Hardened, I have "The Battle for Caen" and all of the American missions to complete, but its great fun. Once I've done it on Hardened, ill probably go up to the Veteran setting.

[Eilujin]

I'm on the level where you have to take this little town - buildings A through F. I have all of then except F. It's a REALLY hard level.

Yea, I have to say this was the hardest for me to date. This is the 3rd mission in "The battle for Caen" The church (D) was just insane and then the last house (E) is just as crazy. Up to the final 2 buildings it wasnt so bad, but those 2 were just insane. I didnt get a chance to play D-day and hill400 yet in Vet. Hopefully sometime this week.

[Jay2984]

Im at the beginning of the American campaign on Hardened and it is so hard. I couldnt imagine it on Veteran mode. Ive tried and tried the part after you climb the rope and have to go through the bunker and i get killed on the other side every time. I took a break from it and went back to playing PGR. When I do beat the game Ill try it again on Veteran, when ever that may be. Good luck to everyone on the game. To those who dont have it yet, GET IT. This game is awesome.

[jt_mares]

i beat the game on normal last night and beat the first two russian missions on vet today. Not as hard as i was thinking but definatlly not simple. at least the germans still die if you shoot them a few times, unlike halo where on leg. it takes a clip and a half just for one elite

[DARKMETHOD]

I need 4 more stages to complete veteren mode and i will say this is the best A.I. sim that i have ever played.

[Vindictive]

I'll have to jump back into this game, I beat on regular, and will go to vet, because I like dying. hahaha.
Also, I changed my hi def settings to 720, want to see how different it is...it made NFS look better then 1080 was.....

[Ecliptic]

I just started Vet. yesterday. Its seems really tough but manageable.

[Eilujin]

The Russian campaigns are easy on veteran compared to the British and American. With the exception of the British Tank mission which was a joke on Vet.

[Ogio]

I just started Vet. yesterday. Its seems really tough but manageable.

LOL, give it time, Just give it some time

[Morder]

So...
CoD2 Veteran > Halo 2 Legendary?
I hope not, Halo 2 on legendary was probably one of my greater FPS gaming accomplishments.

[jt_mares]

nah your honor is still intact, COD2 vet< halo2 leg. props to you for that! so right now im at the end of the amored car chase mission. i thought i was never going to get the first c/p, as soon as i hopped on the MG i died instantly, thankfully about 15 tries later i survived

[theelderscroll]

I beat it on vet about a weak ago. I still play it like i havent beat it yet. It is so much fun. You get 200 gamer points when you beat it so its awsome. My gamerscore is 1260.

[Eilujin]

Completed it on Veteran today :congrats:

I was suprised that "Hill 400" was not as hard as I thought it was going to be. Actually it was one of the easier missions on Veteran.

Anyway I am happy :Proud:

[Pyro]

It's very hard but most of the time you can even the odds with a good ol' smoke screen, then run in there and bash em.......unless they bash you first. The thing about it is that you can't just run and gun like in other FPS's.

[jt_mares]

yeah its hard adapting to how its lifelike and you can take about two- three decent hits. at least its good prctice for mp matches!

[RabidCheetah]

it takes way to long. I beat it on normal and now im gonna go back to the levels for the achievments. In level select i'll pick the right ones.

[Morder]

Damn, hearing about all this is getting me pumped for when I get it on Christmas!

[GamePlaya4Life]

I find it very challenging. I'm just about finished with the Russian campain so I just started. I rented Call Of Duty 2 about three days ago.

[jt_mares]

grr i was half way through d-day on vet and my brothers friend came over and played on my profile. strangly i was pretty calm about it, whats another few hours and 100 deaths?

[Rage15]

This isnt fair I should have been done a long time ago but unfortunately i got that glitch that deletes your save file..... I just started doing it again yesterday once I inputted the cheat code cuz it would have sucked to start from the beginning again.....if it weren't for that I would have been done a while ago.....

[L.M]

D-Day was unbelievably hard, every other level was like sitting aruond a camp fire with marshmallows compared to D-Day, every part of the level was intense and very hard, the worst parts were when you had to clear out the upstairs of houses, of course no one helps you and you can't run and gun i think i used about......23-25 grenades on each room.

But CoD2 is a great game.

[G4everX]

I've seen a lot of people with a 1,000 points from that game, so I know people are finshing it. Anyway, I've only gotten the first 2 missions done on verteran. Though, I really haven't played the game that much yet. Currently, I'm working on Activisions "Gun" game.

Off Topic
I rented Madden, and was able to get 490 gamerpoints in one 20 minute franchise game. Another 20 from going to certain stats pages. Then, the last 400 from simulating 30 years of the franchise mode. =P Took me 4 hours total.

[Morder]

Jesus, some parts are so freaking frustrating! I'm almost done with it probably have 3-4 more hours I'm too annoyed with it to play it anymore tonight...

[Don_Rico]

I'm gonna finish veteran mode this week.

[VictoryOverWar]

yah i beat veteran mode awhile ago and i agree the d day series especially clearig those houses was the most difficult. Very frustrating doing the same part over and over. Other then that the game was challenging but d day is darn near impossible

[Muthas]

started the game in hardened and completed it in about 16 hours i guess, now im doing some random missions on veteran.

[zCraven15]

ive beaten it. the key to beating it on veteren is long range shooting.use a rifle and let the rest of ur crew go close range

[Gspark]

Im gonna start Hard first Then Vet

[Don_Rico]

Just beat Russian campaign on veteran,

[Ecliptic]

Im on my last three missions for veteran. And D-Day for the American campaign is given me a very hard time. Its almost next to impossible to beat it. I got to the very end where u have to wait for 5 mins for reinforcements but i just cant do it. The Germans surround me. Its getting on my nerves!!

[VictoryOverWar]

hey on that mission where your waiting for reinforcements at the final bunker you need to jump ontop of that bunker where its got a little walkway and then go prone watching that entrance. That will take you all the way up to where yu need to pop smoke and then its up to you to survive =)

[L.M]

Completed - Veteran

Key Points - Your team are the most valuable assets, i find myself do the cover fire rather than being covered, smoke grenades are priceless the more the better really. When it comres to planting charges on tanks eveyr time i ran with no hope i managed to do it

Whoopage

[ChiTownPlayer]

Have not started Veteran Mode yet but did Normal and the Hardend Mode. Did Veteran ofr the first mission and just got tired since I just finished the Hardened.

[Don_Rico]

Now only 3 missions left on veteran.

[Cougar50]

I just started on the American campaign on Veteren.
I already beat the other two campaigns on veteren.
I think that this game is to short. I got this game for christmas and beat the entire game on regular and now I am almost done with the game on veteren.
They should have let you play as the germans .I think It would be cool to be on the opposite side for once. Other than the game being on the short side it is still a really great game.

[Fanta]

Lol, im gonna try it once ive completed it on normal =P
I have no chance though lol, especially the one where your car crashes and your surrounded by people shooting you on the roof. I tried that one on hard, its too hard for me. I need more practice =D.

[kevin1927]

I can't even imagine what Veteran mode is going to be like when I am still trying to beat the game on Hardened and I am having a tough time doing that. I have been so close to throwing my controller a few times because of frustration trying to beat the game on hardened. I don't even think I am going to try it on veteran because I might end up smashing my 360 if i get too mad. lol.

[ChiTownPlayer]

Heck what a hard level...I am alomst near the end as I have 3 missions to go to complete the Veteran Missions. Yes it is hard and the American Solider is the hardest. At times if you do not press on the Germans come out like ****roaches in the dark.....Then you have to hold you ground an duse alot of ammo to get by. You can press on and also SMOKE is your best friend!

Awesome Game!!!!

[Gspark]

I beat CoD 2 on Vet :)

[Jay2984]

I just have the British missions and 1 American mission left (Hill 400) it is so hard on Vet but awesome. Makes the game a lot better. I already beat it on Hardened.

[Æ N I M A 4 6 N 2]

Come on guys, veteran mode is easy. It only took a million deaths and 100s of hours. But I did it.

[Don_Rico]

Now I'm finally finished with veteran mode. A little later then I planned though.

[SCG_Hooligan]

I beat it and I found it really fun passing...unlike passing it on easy which is so ***!!!

[Jay2984]

Vet adds a lot to the game, its never fun just running through the game with no challenge.

[LA COSTRA NOSTRA]

I beat it on vet, it's mad fun...hardcore 100%

[Molneze]

Just about done on Vet. I am really looking forward to having that on my accomplishments list, since it has been definatly the most challenging one i've to recieve so far. Congrats to everyone that has beat it so far, cuz it is frustrating as hell sometimes, and good luck to all those who haven't started it yet.

[Don_Rico]

D-Day was unbelievably hard, every other level was like sitting aruond a camp fire with marshmallows compared to D-Day, every part of the level was intense and very hard, the worst parts were when you had to clear out the upstairs of houses, of course no one helps you and you can't run and gun i think i used about......23-25 grenades on each room.

But CoD2 is a great game.

I found the last mission on "Hill 400" alot harder then any mission in "D-Day".

[Cougar50]

I beat it on veterans mode. COD 2 is a great game and if you don't have it yet it is a must buy but multiplayer sucks.

[taylor410]

Multiplayer was ok on the system with friends... but i wish you could drive tanks

[Molneze]

Last Level!!!:D

[killertaco321]

ive beaten it. the key to beating it on veteren is long range shooting.use a rifle and let the rest of ur crew go close range
i agree i have fallen in love with sniper rifles because of that reason

[360rulz]

the thing with sniping is if the enemy gets close ur screwed

[taylor410]

Unless your good at whacking them however i find they are muich better in a hand to hand fight.

[360rulz]

i'll be sitting there sniping and there is a line of like 10 friendlies there, but they still get to me quickly

[Molneze]

Ahhhhhh!!!! Got it!!! All 1000 points!! That was one of the most satisfying feats i have gotten in a long time. Sad thing is, right when i beat it, i turned around and put King Kong in for the first time, and went through the entire game in 4 hours, one sitting and got all 1000 points. It was so cake compared to COD2!!!

[360rulz]

i expect to get anothe 150 in a week or two from COD2, then start getting 60 every 2-3 days till i have them all

[killertaco321]

hey has anyone shot a germans helmet off and not killed them i cracked up when i did it if you havent done it you have to try it

[xeon121]

yeah, that seems to happen to me a lot. I think there dead coz i got a head shot then the blast me in the face, vet mode is going to be the end of me

[rambo1029]

Russian and british campaigns weren't that bad.Americans D-Day sucked though.

Hint fot those stuck there>

Shoot the guys on the anti-aircraft gun.Don't go into the underground bunker.throw a smoke granade towards the above ground pillbox.Get him and your set.:joyman:

[ChiTownPlayer]

Finshed Veteran Mode...it was a lot more difficult then Normal.
This game is AWESOME.....except for the LIVE play and not being able to play Mutli-player.

[g-unit95]

i cant even beat the russian camoaign but of corse i dont have it though i just play it at a friends house but still i think it hard

[g-unit95]

Vet adds a lot to the game, its never fun just running through the game with no challenge.
thats true but the first time you play its good to just walk through the game till you get to the harder levels

[jt_mares]

i cant even beat the russian camoaign but of corse i dont have it though i just play it at a friends house but still i think it hard


at first it takes forever to beat any of the levels, and then...oh wait it doesnt get any easier, you just have to get used to dying 100 times and playing for 45 mins to get one checkpoint.

[Wingman1977]

I'm working on it. I'm almost done with the Russian campaign. I believe the part I'm on is the last in the Russian campaign. It takes like a million tries to beat a section in Verteran. The enemies light you up like a christmas tree with bullets. But you get achievements like every other stage.

PS there was one section in the game so far that had me pulling my hair out (and my hair is cut close to my skull). the part that you have to destroy a tank that goes around a perimeter (it the part just before the section that you have to get to city hall). I shoots bullets and it fires the cannon. I took almost a hour to figure out how to get close to the tank and arm the explosive without getting pasted in the process. I can only imagine what's in store for me in the British and US campaigns.

[Cougar50]

^ Yeah the U.S. campaign is a lot harder than the Russian and British campaigns.

[Wingman1977]

^ Yeah the U.S. campaign is a lot harder than the Russian and British campaigns.

I can only imagine. I had a bit of a tough time with it on normal.

[jt_mares]

Yeah i remember that last bit with the tank had me pretty frustrated too, a panzeshreik woul have made life much easier...

[Wingman1977]

Just completed the Russian campaign yesterday.

[taylor410]

I hate games that get you points really easy. like king kong or madden. I like them, but i dont like when people have more points then us because thye played the games

:D

[DimitriC2982]

i barely got through the first level..
i dunno how im supposed to finish the second

[NVR 20]

practice makes veteran

[Deadeye]

i beat it but it wasnt easy it took all long time .
The hardest part was D-day the silo mission was the hardest in the entire game. Road to hill 400 was hard to.

[Deadeye]

^ Yeah the U.S. campaign is a lot harder than the Russian and British campaigns.
i thought the british campaign was the easiest out of the three

[Wingman1977]

In the normal mode you be Rambo and take out 3 or 4 Gemans by going in a room and spay it with your gun. Try that in veteran mode and you'll get lit up like a christmas tree. :saint:

[taylor410]

Theres nothing wrong with christmas trees...

:D

[360rulz]

lol that doesn't even always work on hardened

[paymon]

i almmost did untill the disk got scratched , so i took back to holywoodvideo for a full refund of the rantal ;) i kept dieing over and over again

[Wingman1977]

Theres nothing wrong with christmas trees...

:D
How about "getting pasted"?

[Pac Attack]

Finally! It takes a while. 6 days playing 2-3 hours daily (not on a level). It does become easy after a while. Hill 400, Crossing The Rhine, and the last Russian mission are the hard ones.

[Wingman1977]

I'm up to the American campaign.

[Sharky]

I had to take it back to Blockbuster before I could finish the Russian Campaign on Vet. It's not easy, that's for sure. I'll have to rent it again when I can find the time. :wink:

[Sharky]

I'm up to the American campaign.

Good luck! That campaign should be interesting on Vet. :eek:

[Wingman1977]

Good luck! That campaign should be interesting on Vet. :eek:

Frustrating is more like it.

[Bolety]

It was really tough but i completed it in roughly 2 weeks.

[Sharky]

Frustrating is more like it.

:dito: :banghead:

[cskeller07]

i beat cod2 on vetran and anybody who doesnt belive me look at my gammercard. Lemme give u guys a tip. dont use MG's use single shot weapons becuase you will not be getting up very close to mg someone and you will want to take your time and make your shots count keep under cover if you get shot once becuase trust me it hits you faster than you think it will

[Shotty]

Vetern makes the game way more interesting, I first beat the game on easy then went back in veteran. Something like walking across a battlefield in easy takes like a minute takes sometimes 20 minutes to carefully kill every1 so you can pass. I still have the american campaigns and 2 british campaigns to finish on veteran

[Pac Attack]

Beat the game on vet. Look at my gamercard. Took 6 days on 2-3 hours playing. Its fustrating especially when your allies do nothing and let you die.

[osiris]

Aw man veteran mode is insanely hard I beat the game on normal and then started up veteran.I got thru the first level of the russian campaign that just said screw it.It was almost impossible.

[taylor410]

You need a lot of patience.

[Father Campfire]

done and dusted

[Shotty]

Proud day for shotty, Ya I beat veteran. my best advise is to screw life and just run to your objective. It really helps in clearing the houses. Throw a smoke and a frag and run in and hide. Your men would do the rest.

[spd9075]

Not to revive an old thread...but after reading this one last week I became interested. After beating the game, I decided to go for veteran. Lemme tell ya....it sucks. I've never felt that much frustration playing a game. I finished the Stalingrad missions tonight and plan to tackle the rest as my blood pressure will allow. I only play until it's no longer fun....dying every few seconds when your pinned down really sucks! Now the AI has taken up spawnkilling! Congrats to all you guys who finished it!

[PinkyTheSneaky]

Yeah I got the first couple of levels on vet done and omg! its so annoying, it like every german is as good as a player on xbox live. I am gonna have 2 buy new controller if i dont ill smash mine into the floor

[zspaun]

Well TBH CoD2 was my 1st 360 game and played it on Vet from the beginning, yes it was frustrating at times but It wouldn't be enjoyable otherwise :)

[CINCYFAN2323]

I did. It could be little frustrating at times. You really had to you cover since one shot puts you in the red. Felt very satisfied to beat it that way and it definitley added to the replay value of the game.

[covenantkiller12]

Im on the very last stage on veteran mode wasnt quite as hard as i thought. put still pretty damn hard! the thing is i beat the last stage on veteran for my friend cause he couldnt do it, but now i cant seem to do it either.........????

[Fortunate Fool]

yeah vet mode was pretty easyfor meuntill some of the later missions

[xxrpggamemanxx]

God anyone have any advice for D-day? It is the only mission I have not beat on veteran! I can't get past the beginning after I make it up the hill! it is so freaking hard! I am seriously about to bust my 360!

[Fortunate Fool]

lol yeah that was hard. what i did was got in the trench and went right and followed the bunkers till i got near the city. hope that helps

[demastus]

Finally, after not touching CoD2 for a while I got the itch to pick it back up and finish the game on Vet. Just finished it. Talk about having to have lots of patience. The hardest parts were D-Day invasion and some town where you end up protecting it on top of a cilo. Sheech...

[CptFreaky]

Only got this game 4 days ago and decided to jump in at the deep end and play it on vet from the get go. Man it's tough, I've found myself praying for checkpoints on each corner; swearing loudly everytime I get shot and giving the tv the bird and laughing like a maniac everytime I beat a level.

[kyuss]

I'm hearin ya, i got this game last week and jumped straight into vetran difficulty. Have got to the american campaign and loving every minute of it.Never thought i would like this game more than GRAW.

[joshcisn]

I finally got the game. I've played it on my PC before and now that my PC has bit the dust, I figured I might as well get the Game of the Year version....

Anyway I've made it through the Russian and British parts with a few hang ups here and there. Now I'm on the Americans (D-Day) and I'm on the last mission Silo. I got to the point where you climb up the silo to snipe the German mortar teams but I died a few seconds after a checkpoint. So now I have an incoming mortar shell kill me every time I reload from that checkpoint. Oh is that **** ****. I wish you could restart from any checkpoint. I guess now I'll have to redo the whole level and try my luck at sniping again.

[Don_Rico]

joshcisn, I had the same prob, don't worry, you'll beat it, I did anyways. It's good in a way, you'll boost your sniping skills like hell when you finally beat it.

[Jay2984]

Ive started playing it again more lately and it keeps getting harder and harder on Vet. It is more satisfying when you do make it through a level on Vet.

[joshcisn]

Don,

Thanks for the input. I just did it. Only my second try I guess that's good. The german scoped gewehr probably made the difference this time.

[CptFreaky]

Yeah me! Finished on vet in 15 days (about 2 hours a day).Just as well I was getting fed up of coming across houses like clown cars holding seemingly endless waves of germans. It was damn hard but worth it for the satisfaction of 1000/1000 gamerpoints.

[Jay2984]

Me and my brother finally finished it on Vet, it was really hard but enjoyable the whole time. Cant wait for COD3.

Yeah me! Finished on vet in 15 days (about 2 hours a day).Just as well I was getting fed up of coming across houses like clown cars holding seemingly endless waves of germans. It was damn hard but worth it for the satisfaction of 1000/1000 gamerpoints.

Yeah they seem endless if you don't advance. I got the game of the year edition with the bonus DVD and was watching that the other night. On there they talked about how the AI was and how the germans would just keep coming if you didn't move up. I thought well that would've been nice to know instead of killing them for what seemed like forever lol. Fun game, one of the few games I'm proud to have got all 1000 gamerpoints in. I can't wait for CoD 3 either. I just hope it does come out at the end of this year and doesn't get pushed back like Medal of Honor Airbone (pushed back to Jan 2007 instead of Nov 2006).

woot woot i just beat it on vet the other day. all i can say is i never wanted to throw my controller across the room as much as i wanted 2 do with this game. but thankfully my controller survived !!!!

[deadmandrop23]

ya when u first start out your like holy crap this is impossible but like after awhile I thought it was kinda easy. I beat the game on easy, regular, Hardened, and Veteran. The hardest level's for me would be Hill 400 and maybe d-day. There were times when i did want to just break the 360 or throw the controllers at the tv. When you keep dying in the same spot try going another way to pick them off easier. If you just keep tryin youll get it.
:biggrin:

I started CoD2 the first time on Veteran, took me 2 weeks to finish (you can't play too much in one sitting, too nerve-wrecking). I seem to find PGR3's cone challenges harder than CoD2 veteran tho even if racing games are my thing :(

Great game CoD2, bring on number 3:p

well i got my xbox last friday and i just finished the game on veteran. its been awhile since i had so much fun playing a fps.
ps. if you have anger management problemes do not, i repeat, do not play it on veteran. ;)

Usually by the end of a level, I'm shaking and I go cry to my mommy. lol. Imagine how I was when I beat the game on vet!!

I've gone through so much agression, swearing, flipping off the tv, and more with this game it wasnt even funny. If I had a dime for every time I cussed at this game...

[ajjets107]

I beat Call Of Duty 2 on veteran a long time ago but it was really hard.

[Sláine]

I have a whole new problem in the Silo mission. How in the name of God go you go down ladders? To go up, you just walk towards them, but when I try to go down at the end of the mission, I just fall down to the ground and die. Do I have to face a certain way or something? I feel really stupid but sombody help me please!

[CptFreaky]

try walking at it backwards when you fall push forwards and you'll grab the ladder

[Gameman54]

I always play it on vet but I'm stuck on the last mission on Rommel! This is my most hated mission in the game, the one in Matmata. If I had only one grenade at the tme, I would be happy........if you trying to beat Hill 400, go for the 2nd mission in Hill 400, I think its called Rangers, Lead the Way! The Battle for Caen is also a freakin' hard one! I beat the first two but I can't beat the 3rd one. I would yell loud if I die, when I played the first mission on Rommel amd beat the part with the machine gun and when I was done, I was in tears! When the German bursts through the door, my teammates were just looking at him. The second time it happened, I shot him in the head when he was bursting through the door and he still killed me, I shot 12 bullets at him and he didn't die! That's all for veteran level for me.

[Sláine]

Ah success! Seems kind of obvious now. Thanks!

[fred nizzle]

anyway - I have to state that I am not a WW2 fan at all....

sorry. i just had to quote this. :congrats: :D

[Sláine]

Finished it on Vet just yesterday. A truly rewarding experience.

[hoggy]

Finished it a while back on vet. taking the hill was a nightmare. Its not so bad when your defending it but just trying to get up the bloody thing was impossible.

[radeeoactive33]

I beat it on Veteran.

Jesus, that American Campaign is tough. I mean, I thought the other two campaigns were tough, but I could beat those levels and it only took and hour. Then I started the American Campaign and it took 2 or 3 days.

During the Russian and British campaigns I was extremely happy to beat a level. But during the American campaign I was extremely happy to get to a checkpoint.

[FLANKER 5]

im trying to right now...it is HARD

[Big_P]

ya i am so close to beating it i would of beaten it by now but my disc wont play from the ring scratches around the cd.

[shane32Eire]
