Call of Duty 4 single player is a better game when...

...you play it on Veteran.

I really am surprised how much more I am enjoying the single player campaign on this setting. When I got the game back on release I played through single player on the difficulty below "Hardened". Yes, I know that difficulty is a joke, but I played COD4 beta and honestly I was just in it for the incredible multiplayer. I more or less just cruised through the single player campaign to get a feel for it. Although still a fantastic experience, moving the setting to Veteran forces you play the game proper.

I am currently inside the missle silo near the end of the game...

The point of my tale is this...If you thought the single player was "Meh", "Too Short", etc... play the game on Veteran. I was amazed how much more I am enjoying it, despite having my arse handed to me MANY MANY times.

...you play it on Veteran.snackdaddy

AGREED.

It's devastatingly hard though. I've beaten most of the levels on veteran. I've gotten to the control room level and it's a nightmare. I'm stuck at the part where you have about 5:30 left and you have to walk down a corridor with hallways on both sides where guys will shoot at you, then there are also guys in front of you behing some barrels.

It's MADNESS!!!

:P

Oh, it can definitely be frustrating at times. "Heat" pissed me off something fierce. I'm also in the section within the Missle Silo when you have to deal with that narrow hall way. It's crazy difficult, but I'm enjoying it...for the most part.

Also, I just recently bought some 5.1 dolby digital headphones and the sound and music in the game are incredible. I have a nice 5.1 surround sound system in the living room, but the little things I can hear with the headphones is insane.

I knew the sound effects were great, but the ambient sound adds a whole other level of greatness... leaves, woodpeckers in the distance, things I never heard on the theater setup.

I do feel kind of stupid praising a game everyone knows is great though.... :)

That part took me FOREVER. You have to go prone and take out a soldier in either corridor. Speaking of which, Mile High Club took me about about 2 hours.

BTW, Did anyone manage to take the chopper down with an RPG in the final mission?

No way, not in a million years. I tried to do that several times, but to no success. The only part I could take a down a chopper is after your squad-mate puts a bullet in the head of Osama (or whatever his name was), and then it's the morning after where you run up the hill to the farm. Once on the farm, about 30 bad guys show up, some are dropped off via helicopter, so I put an RPG in one of 'em and finally got the achievement for it.
