COD4: Achievement Hunting

posted by Jaitu at 16:42

Having taken a break from the constant cycle of frustrating death that
is "No Fighting In The War Room" on Veteran difficulty I am now trying
to tidy up the outstanding achievements. I have found 29 of the 30 intel
items and know where the last one should be but so far have not been
able to find it. Allegedly the final laptop is in a building near the
Ferris wheel at the end of "One Shot One Kill". A door is supposed to
open when the enemy choppers fly in but this hasn't happened while I've
been playing. One thing I did notice was how easy the game is on the
Recruit setting (easiest difficulty) after playing Veteran. More often
than not you can simply run through a crowd of the opposing force and
make it easily to your destination. Even playing through the dreaded War
Room became a relative cake walk. On Veteran I have been unable to get
to the blast doors with more than about 3 minutes left on the clock,
last night I made it on my first and only "Recruit" attempt with more
than 10 minutes to spare.
My plan for the next gaming assault is to at least save the farmer and
shoot down a helicopter with an RPG. With luck I'll also put a bullet in
each of the remaining televisions and maybe get that last laptop too. I
think that should leave me with just the mock-up record and, of course,
finishing the game on Veteran.
