Anyone else sadist enough to attempt the Veteran mode for Modern Warfare 2? I've been chipping away at it a few segments at a time and have made some decent progress. However, I'm currently stuck on Contingency. The time allotted to make it to the submarine seems almost impossible to me. My team made it once, but I got cut down trying to make it up the stairs to provide overwatch. Needless to say, I was pretty upset when I realized there wasn't a checkpoint at the location marker and had to make another run at it.

Yeah, the submarine base attack took a while to complete. Haven't finished it on veteran yet though.

I've been debating whether to replay the game on Veteran or not.

I think I might wait until I've completely leveled up in MP though (I'm at 61 now).

I was on the sub base last time I played the game. I finished 4 on vet so I'm determined to finish this one. So far I don't think it's nearly as hard as 4. Don't get me wrong, some parts are still brutal but with no respawning enemies you usually have the option to just clear a spot out before advancing, in 4 you had to take a deep breath and charge in. In my case charge in 50 or so times on parts like the TV station *shudder*

It's more about "masochism" IMO wink I've tried to beat MW on the last difficulty and i've stuck at Pripyat... I'll skip it with MW2 smile

I thought about it. I never finished the campaign on normal though, so I think I might just stick to multiplayer.

Completed it on veteran today. Was not that bad really. A few places which took a few retries, but nothing near COD4.

Playing it on Veteran right now as well. I initially beat the game on Hardened mode and my intentions are to finish it in Veteran mode also, however if the going gets too frustrating I might give up, so we shall see. So far so good.

I really enjoyed the campaign mode (as short as it was) and I consider myself to be an achievement whore so I decided it would be fun enough to go through it again.


Nice hat, looks good on you though.

I think I'll wait until I hit the highest level in MP.

I'm sloooooowly dragging my way through it in veteran mode. I guess you can say its played more realistically this way since its almost like R6. However, I find the AI ruthless and too accurate for some of the weapons they are using especially at far distances. I'm also trying to finish up Spec Ops.

Here's hoping that there will be more Spec Ops as downloadable content. You can tell it was designed for DLC in mind.

yes, already confirmed, more Spec Op co-op coming... I personally hope they add 4 player co-op (6 would be better, 8 better 10 better... oh never mind, lol).

The whole Campaign should be made playable in co-op. COD World at war did it and it worked really well. MW2 would be excellent with 4 player campaign co-op in veteran mode it would be a blast.

I think FourZeroTwo was right, adding co-op would break the cinematic experience. I just look at how R6: Vegas was done, it didn't flow well. I do agree it would be great. Just gimme a ton of Spec Ops and I'll be happy.....especially ghillie sniper missions. Those missions in both MW were my favorite.

They should take a look at the Gears-games, they do it superbly.

Gears? Last I checked its like Spec Ops more or less. Wasn't that Horde mode?

I have yet to see a full blown story mode with 4 player co-op done right....without breaking the experience.

Well, the Gears-games do have two player co-op in the campaign, and still retain the experience, unlike Rainbow Six Vegas 1, for instance. So it's doable, and IW can do it if they want to.
