Not by any stretch of the imagination could you say any of the Call of Duty 2 Achievements are easy. However you will notice a lot of gamers who have all 1000 points. You have to best it on the hardest difficulty level to do so. I personally started out on the hardest difficulty and try for the achievements right off the bat. I felt that was more rewarding. On Veteran difficulty you really have to think about what you are doing in the game. Don’t plan on getting all 1000 points off one rental. If you are wanting all the achievements you should definitely buy the game. Don’t worry; you won't be disappointed.
As I was making my way through the achievements I felt like I had been through a war. The veteran difficulty in this game is really intense. In the menu for the subtext it says “you will not survive”. This is keeping with the tongue in cheek ratings with other games such as Doom’s “hurt me plenty” level. At the end of the day you will look back on those achievements fondly as you will in the memories you had playing the game. The overall rating is a solid 8 out of 10.
