I have my 1000 gamerscore on it, so yes i've played it through veteran, as for that geting through your 5th prestige doesn't mean alot, the online leveling system is broken.

I just got on the War Pig mission lol. The end of Charlie Dont Surf took me over an hour to beat.

I first beat it on normal, then played multiplayer for awhlie. Then i went back and beat the game on veteran all except for Mile High Club.

I have done about 1/4 of the game on Veteran.  It is very hard.  Tried Mile High Club and nearly lost all of my hair.

I probably got lucky, but Mile High Club wasn't that hard on Veteran. I watched one YouTube video and got it on my 6th or 7th try. IMO the hair pulling slam your head on your desk moment was defending MacMillan while waiting for the chopper.

For me that moment was the cross shaped hallway in the missile silo level.  Fuck that shit.

Playing veteran made me hate this game's campaign.  I'll never play it again.

"I beat all of game on Veteran except for the Epilogue. That is much too difficult for me.

Today, I can proudly say that I completed the game on Veteran.

Yes, after hours and hours of cursing and swearing, I finally DID get the Mile High Club Achievement.

Now I think I won't touch that game ever again. LOL.

"I didn't have any issues on veteran until the level before the last (No Fighting in the War Room). I think that was it, anyway, but it's the one where you are trying to get down the corridor that has three pathways. That part was so hard for me; not sure why, but it really gave me a headache."

This is also a level indicative of bad AI management.  Literally speaking, I left MacMillan to fend for himself while hiding behind the bumper car attraction.  Despite there being a congregation of enemy soldiers, neither party (the Eastern Europeans nor MacMillan) fired once.  And I remained prone behind the bumper car structure until the helicopter arrived."

I beat veteran in a few days, the only part that I had trouble with was the last mission (not the airplane one). The bonus mission isn't hard, you just need to move, FAST.

To be honest, I had to use a video guide to get past the very last part of "One Shot one Kill" it was freken kicking my ass for weeks. After that it was all pretty easy.

After getting smoked in the TV studio over and over and over, I gave up. Up till that point it wasn't too difficult, but that section totally sapped all my interest out of Veteran.

It's a lot easier then I though it would be personally, but I've played Legendary Halo, and insane gears, so I guess I'm used to it.

i'm struggling on the mission when you have to get back to the helicopter from the barn.

It's hell at the moment.

Yeah.  Again, another example of the AI refusing to do anything worth while.  And coupled with the extremely limited "life meter," this section is more a trial of chance than skill or strategy. "

I remember having to memorize the positions of the enemies inside the barn.  Why the helicopter chooses to isolate you and you alone is beyond me, but I remember charging headlong into the barn after killing the troops outside, getting killed, then, after knowing where I would be attacked from, charging in again to get a better position on them/attack them before they could react.

Just bad, bad, bad design, really.

Ooooh.  Again, bad AI.  Yeah, with the smoke bombs and the time limit and such?

I just spammed the hell out of the airstrike function.

I played Veteran through Act 1, then I dropped it to hardened, its just insane for the waves of enemies

I did for a while but eventually gave up because I couldn't take it anymore. I got pretty far along though.

I played Veteran until the TV station, where it became plainly obvious that the game cheats horribly and uses switches to turn off the flow of enemies, which is just lame.

I haven't even finished the game on normal yet....

I beat the game on veteran but I couldn't beat the epilogue mission. I seriously must have tried it 50 times before I just gave up and destroyed my mouse. I never did go back to try it again.

OH what a sweet feeling.  Beat the game on Vet, even got my Mile High Club points. After that had to go back and play CoD 2 on  Veteran. Got the full 1000 points

I've gotten pretty far but it get hard sometimes, to the point that i give up

is that the last difficulty cause i beat it,  ITS FUNCKING HARD

I've tried it and beaten it, at least if you don't count the epilogue. The hard parts for me were where you have to get to (and escape from) the farm and the last part in the bunker, those were really mindnumbingly frustrating to get through. I tried the epilogue, but after half an hour or so I just gave up, I'll probably get back to it at some point though, being the achievement junkie I am.

I've beaten a few levels on Veteran, but not the whole game.  Some of those levels are just too frustrating.  

I beat the whole thing on veteran in maybe four days, Heat and the one where your chopper gets shot down took me the longest. I think I spent maybe 3 hours on Mile High Club

Veteran mode is extremely hard. I'm playing through it for achievements and it's taking forever. I just got past the part where you snipe dude. I jump out of the exploding building and have dip through the rest of the level. I can't see a way out of this level. I go around the bus and four guys come, I quickly pistol them, steal an automatic weapon and turn the corner to meet three guys just standing there ready to shoot me. And they do. >.>

W/e. In Vet mode, you just got to keep trying. Over and over.... I die at least 100 times per level. But I'm also sort of crazy, and try knifing too much....

Oh, and in Vet mode, nades spawn by you it seems... If you hide too long. Nades just find you. Which is extremely annoying... >.>

Jeez guys I didnt think Veteran was THAT hard. I started on Veteran (since Ive played all the other COD games I thought I should).  It took me roughly 2 days nonstop.

The sniper mission made me pull out my hair.

I think the main game only took me a day and a half, it took me like 8 hours to beat the Mile High Clubs. THAT is the hard part... I went insane... took about 8 hours.

I beat the game on Veteran after beating it on the second difficulty level. It took a long time, I didn't play it non-stop or anything.... you just have to be patient and careful... some of the last missions are the hardest I remembered.

The sniper mission made me pull out my hair.

I finished all of veteran except for No Fighting In the War Room, and Mile High Club(whatever the mission is called) before even playing online. I got frustrated with the last 2 missions cause of the time restrictions, though I did finish them eventually. The reason I did that stuff before going online was because I didn't have XBL at the time.

Veteran was damn frustrating at many spots, but there's a few parts that are murder inducing.

Got through veteran, it was pretty tough - the hardest part for me had to be when you have to defend a position while mcmillan is on the floor. In the end I actually did that part by running to where the bad guys spawn from, doing that cut their numbers in half - mcmillan himself is actually invincible, so you don't need to worry about him.

A friend of mine played through my copy of COD 4 on veteran (he didn't beat the Mile High stage though). I played through it on hardened, and after seeing his frustration and the amount of times he died... I have no intention of playing that game through on veteran.

All Ghillied Up was easy in my opinion, all you have to do when you wait for the chopper is, crouch behind the dodgem cars and kill the enemies that walk in your sight.

(you're practically invincible behind those dodgems)  

it took about three whole days to beat veteran including mile high

I got pretty far on veteran,the mission where you have to escape after the assasination finally got me

done it on PC - wish I had gotten the game for the 360 now though

I got up to the sniper mission. That was the second time I've ever thrown a controller. The first time playing Geometry Wars.

I made it to 'Hunted' on veteran before quitting. hard as shit.

I made it till the room with all the tvs. I gave up... haha

What's weird is I beat it 2x's on Veteran but kinda suck at MP even though I have 51 XP guess I'm more a single player at heart, veteran was hard but not too hard

"I beat it on Veteren in a few days and I almost went insane trying to do so"
