Do not bother.  I don't care who you are or what you do, you definitely have better things to do with your time.

I have also found that it is a lot more difficult this time around.

I finished it.  Yeh, its hard but it didn't take me that long.  It is a bit broken in parts but its still perfectly achieveable.  Put some practice in.

I finished it on veteran as well. It's difficult sure, but you know the saying, "Inch by inch, COD's a cinch. Yard by yard, life is hard." 
 
Take it slow, and you'll find that it's not so bad. Also, I found the game to get a lot easier once I was finished with the Khe Sanh level.

Done and dusted. If you completed WaW on Veteran this willl be a breeze.

yeah, i don't try veteran. it is just cheap things in that game. i beat it on hardened and that was a good difficulty. i don't like to die a lot in games other wise i rage quit the game. i got to like 2 levels on veteran on cod4 and i stopped because i was tired of dieing.

Don't discourage people. I'm blowing through it right now. There are definitely some parts that are kinda messed up, but that's expected. It's not that difficult if you try hard enough.

Other than the cheap sections, like Khe Sanh and the end of the Hong Kong section, it wasn't really that much of a challenge.

I haven't played Black Ops yet, but I remember the favela levels in MW2 were fucking ridiculous as fuck on veteran.

finished it quicker than my normal playthrough, once I knew how to bypass infinite enemies and knew what I was supposed to do. It's not as bad as you make it out to be.

3.5 hours on PC and I am half way through it...so don't know what the issue is...
 
it's actually significantly harder than MW2 was, probably closer on par to MW1. Infinite enemies is fine, it makes you need to push up and not just camp them out. I haven't experienced significant nade spam yet so that's a step in the right direction at least.

The infinitely respawning enemies is really annoying. The parts that don't contain this nonsense are fine.

No, that level was really easy compared to BLOPS. At least in MW2 you could kill all the enemies, in BLOPS no matter how many people you take out they just keep re-spawning. It's really a step back in the series to go back to infinite enemies after MW2 did away with them. "

at least this doens't have Reach's killer AI.
 
MW2 did have respawning enemies @ the Brazil levels.

Whoever thought that infinitely respawning enemies was a good idea should be shot. Repeatedly. Such a system adds nothing but frustration for the player, especially on higher difficulties, when the infinite army as unlimited ammo, pinpoint accuracy, AND the ability to blind fire around corners while you have to risk your head every time to try to peak out. It gets even worse when the damn Viet Cong's are on top of a hill and you're trying to get up there and there's minimal cover to work with. 
 
I personally didn't find it that hard on Veteran. There was certainly some parts that were just downright cheap (I'm looking at you, hallway section of the Soviet base after you destroy the missile with a Valkryie rocket!!). But once I learned to abuse my tactical grenade a bit to jump from cover to cover, it got a bit simpler. Those smoke 'nades were the ones that got me through the section that I mentioned above. Without them, don't think I would've made it.  
 
Oh, and also learn when to rush!! If you're in a situation where there are infinitely spawning enemies, contrary to all reason, throw a bunch of frags into the fray,look at the ground, and just RUN towards the yellow dot. The POW camp in Vietnam where you meet Kravchenko. The very last cave before the iteraction. I couldn't get through to save my life. There were people with RPG's, shotty's, AK's, you name it. And how I got through that was loaded the checkpoint, threw in my frags, shot a nube tube at the RPG guy, shot a noob tube at the staircase that I needed to take to get to the door(which also happened to be where they were spawning) and just BOOKED it. I tried this out of desperation and it actually worked.  
 
If memory serves me right, those were pretty much the only three sections that gave me trouble. If you can be patient enough with it, you can easily beat it on Veteran. Good luck! :)

Hong Kong was absurd, I completed that ludicrous bit crossing that big roof, got to the slow mo bit where you slide down a roof, killed the guys, and then realised that the guy had bugged out somewhere, and wasn't coming. I had to restart the whole level. The very end was also straight up broken.

I had absolutely no trouble with the end of that mission. In fact, I found it to be the easiest part of the entire thing.  "

Tried that maybe about 5 or 6 times before I got it. I did it throwing a grenade just before I landed, got lucky and killed half the guys as they spawned. "

Lol at everyone coming from
MW2 to this. MW2 had one of the easiest campaigns I've ever played. If you think Treyarch will be the same. Nuh uh, girlfriend!

Maybe I just have a bad memory, but I'm almost 100% sure MW2 had sections with infinitely respawning enemies. It's been like that with every CoD. "

In halo(with real AI)legendary is a challenge of your wits. The enemies actually react to situations and you can outsmart them. In BO your playing against scripted AI with aimbots/wallhacks its not fun.

I beat it, but I dont really feel as awesome about it.  I mean, I was able to get some extra level achievements on veteran, like escape using dual wield weapons from Kowloon on veteran.  it was nice not the be grenade spammed by the bots though
