Well, I'm getting CoD 4 soon, and I heard that it's quite short and that people comfortable with FPS's should be able to blast through it pretty quickly at the Normal difficulty.

That why I'm wondering if I should do it on Veteran on the first play through, so I'd like comments on whether this is a good idea.

Also, is it harder than R6V on Realistic?

Thanks in advance.

No, play through it your first time on Normal, at least that way you can experience the story, then go back and play on Veteran. If you start on Veteran, you'll most likely stop playing about mid through the game once the difficulty ramps up severly. It seems "cheaper" than RSV on Veteran then RSV on realistic. The enemies seemed to have crazy, impecable aim (even when you hide in the grass). You'll be retrying levels over and over on Veteran.

Normal for story. Veteran for challenge. Same with every game. Not typing sentences. Still punctuating.

To make the game last longer start on hardened then play Veteran. It will be more fungoing from hardened to veteran.

Do the test at the beginning a few times until you get a recommendation one step higher than the one you get usually. Play on that one for a challenge without excessive difficulty. I did Veteran with that one step-up recommendation being Hardened and I regularly get my ass kicked unless I'm being excessively careful. I'm also now stuck on a part for the 5th time.
