I forgot to mention flashbangs earlier. They are a godsend.
Hence why it took me so long to complete the TV station. I had a few frag grenades and no flashbangs. I backtracked like a madman to find some and didn't. I did find an RPG, but that really doesn't help since you rarely have a clear line of sight on that level.

Canadians can't play FPS very well as they lack depth perception (proven fact).Big-E said:

During the filming of Back To The Future, Michael J. Fox was nearly decapitated by one of the cable running from the clock tower. Doctors did tests and found out his lack of depth perception and malnourishment were believed to be the cause.

Finally!!!! After two painstaking hours, I beat the Epilogue on Veteran. What a pain in the ass!!! I found if you aren't by the "breach" with 35 secs left and up the stairs with 25 secs left, it's almost impossible to do.

After beating the last level, I watched the credits and as soon as it ended, the Epilogue level started. At that point you could Save and Quit cause you can then choose the Epilogue from the Mission Select screen.
Just finished the SP, great ending
and wow the last couple of levels somehow manage to ratchet up the intensity even more. :lol
Glad I played it on normal, it was challenging enough in places but I never got stuck or even remotely frustrated except for 2 spots when I was clearly trying to break the level design. COD is always a tough slog for me simply because it forces me way out of my FPS comfort zone - in almost all games I'm much more inclined to hang back, always skirt the edges of setpieces and try to snipe/flank/ninja my way through. Or else I prefer to take cover and pick off enemies slowly but surely. But being forced to run and gun a little more is good too, I have R6:Vegas and other series to indulge in my tactical (my friend refers to it as "pussified") shooter nature.
vaderNOOOOOOOO!!!!!

But being forced to run and gun a little more is good too, I have R6:Vegas and other series to indulge in my tactical (my friend refers to it as "pussified"

-Most intense FPS I've ever played, easily. The audio, especially, is quite overwhelming.
-Level design was pretty superb the whole way through. Especially loves the
-I also enjoyed the story bits quite a lot. Looks like IW took a liking to HL's story segments, as there were several moments in this game where you did nothing but watch the story unfold before you.
-Speaking of the story, I found it to be easily the best of the CoD games and the biggest surprise of the game. I honestly expected it to be throwaway, but it turned out very well. Felt to me like Splinter Cell story without the convulted nature combined with what Gears of War should have been in terms of "locker room male comraderie."
-Weapons are awesome. Sound, animation, feel- I'd go so far as to say they're the best in the biz in those regards.
-Now, to start with the less-than-awesome stuff, I can't say I'm a big fan of the way this game creates challenge. Infinitely respawning enemies works sometimes, but the times it doesn't, it hurts bad. I understand that it's basically the only way to keep the player from exploiting a regenerating health system, but it just didn't work in some of the levels.
-Grenade spam- I don't think I had as much a problem with it as some of you here did, but it did bug me, especially in the more indoor oriented spaces.
-Losing my sight when being shot- I found that pretty much all of the challenge came from either the aforementioned respawn deal or this. Fighting to keep your sights on enemies while constantly have it shoved away is not fun. I basically had to back out of every firefight whenever shot.
-Not so much a negative as a WTF- the ending rap song. :lol
-What was the deal with the epilogue? Was that supposed to be part of the story? I didn't understand.
-If I had to give it a score, I'd probably put it somewhere between 8.5-9.0.
Now, on to multiplayer!

Actually,
does Price really die? I thought the whole point of the "Epilogue" is that you are playing as Price. You hear Gaz talking, and after you beat it, there's a photo of Gaz, Price, Vasquez and another Marine together (there are four squad members on the plane, too).
Edit: I just replayed the last part and
it seems Gaz takes a bullet to the head, so it's not him, I guess. Just the same voice actor.

Explain.
I picked up the X360 version and played a bit. At first SP seemed underwhelming, like CoD2 with a new skin and the graphics seemed weak outside the amazingly solid framerate.
Then I got to the first "open" type level with city fighting and damn, that was pretty great. Graphics looked pretty good and 60fps is awesome. Lots of stuff going on, intense, had that CoD2 feel but in modern day setting. So ok, I guess I'm sold on the SP.
Then I tried the MP. I don't play MP and don't like MP. Sitting around in lobbies bores me, running around shooting guys with lag bores me. Halo 3 and Warhawk are about the only MP I've enjoyed this gen. Maybe Lost Planet if I didn't suck so much at it. Anyhow, wowowoowow, the MP here is awesomeawesomeawesome. It's not like a normal FPS online match! It's like an arcade game with points popping up on the screen, ranks shooting up real-time, instant respawn (YES), kill-cam that's instant and just the right length, A FREAKING MAP (YES, SO HELPFUL), it's just nonstop fun and crazy action with nice graphics and 60fps. So yeah, I might be sold on the MP as well.
Good stuff.

Btw, did anyone here complete this part on Veteran yet? HELP ME!
Yeah, I finished the entire game on Veteran already, which is why I asked.
Anyway, it's relatively easy. Just camp behind the bumper cars.
Finished Death From Above earlier tonight and it was creepy just how much the whole sequence was directly, almost blatantly, inspired by that youtube clip of the AC-130. Even the banter between the pilot and operator and the guy yelling "gun reloaded!" Crazy. Awesome too, especially when you use the 105mm howitzer. Holy shit. ADOOSH.
Okay and now I'm at the very first 5 second of Shock and Awe in veteran mode and this game has reached bullshit levels again. I fly up in my helicopter, the cobras shoot a tank on the freeway, and next thing I know, I'm dead. Over and over again. I hated the helicopter rail shooter segment in GRAW and I hate it now. WTF? Any idea what to do?

Death from Above is definitely my favourite level of any game I've played ever I think. The 105 mm, holy fuck.
Shock and Awe, just make sure to turn your gun towards the left really fast and take out the guys as quick as you can. they'll be on the left firing shit at you right away, but you can actually get a shot on them before they kill you and on veteran you need to.
I agree though, the on rails section was shit. Just wait until you get further on veteran, some of this shit is bonkers even on hard.
Wanna play some multi tonight? I don't need assists in this game to kick your ass.

I didn't have much trouble with that part until the second checkpoint where the helicopter's come in and start dropping off enemies. Here is how I finally beat that part: Start by standing behind the ferris wheel and looking at where the enemies will come from. Then turn right and you should see a building with bumper cars. Go to the point where the building ends and camp right there with your sniper ans start taking out the enemies. If a grenade gets close you should have ample room to get out of the way. You shouldn't have to worry about enemies rushing your position to much. When the helicopter arrives kills the enemies(if any) that are by ferris wheel, and make a dash for the Captain. Once you have him go right to the heli. You can take a lot more damage when you're carrying him. Took me five tries using this method until i beat it.
