Yesterday, after many many days and hours of frustration I managed to complete COD4 on veteran. As with COD2 (and a lesser extent COD3) the sense of achievement is astounding. Most the time 'achievement hunting' in 360 games feels rather fruitless and is just an excercise in patience rather than skill. But, the Call Of Duty games really make you /work/ for those points and the end result is that you really do -achieve- them. Even my friends on XBL, some of whom are upto level 52-53 on the MP mode haven't managed to complete veteran and in a rather perverse way that makes me feel vastly superior to them XD. In the end though, it's all about having fun. You don't need to give yourself a brain ulcer completing things on the toughest difficulty to do so, but the end reward is immense satisfaction ;) Now onwards to completing my second playthrough of mass effect! :p
