SaberBlade Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 About to play on that highest level. What makes it difficult? Is it cheap difficulty? If you only play Expert to get the BlackOps Specialist trophy then it's incredibly easy. You don't need to worry about alarms, deaths, medkits, completing or secondary objectives so if you've previously beaten the game (on Normal or completed Hard with under five deaths) then you'll be able to rush through the game. The worst point for me was dealing the guards while disabling the bombs at the end of mission 9, which took a bit of pre-planning (like planting wall mines). As for what makes it difficult, enemies do more damage, they're more likely to detect you if they are close/using a torch (rather than being mostly blind on normal) and I think you get less acccessories (air foils, shockers, cameras) but I am not sure on that.

Iceyice Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Just finished the NYC level. Mission 5, and i see what you mean. It has been shockingly easy so far except for a couple of parts. Thanks for that heads up on mission 9. I must say that this game is more fun....if you can call these games fun, than the original. The worst point for me was dealing the guards while disabling the bombs at the end of mission 9, which took a bit of pre-planning (like planting wall mines).

Yup you are mostly right, they are alot smarter and being shot tends to insta kill you, but thankfully you get the same amount of accessories that you get in normal. I just hope that hard won't be so bad because I died alot on Soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceyice Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Yeah, dealing with those guards while disabling them bombs was a motherfucker. Thought i made a 'bad save' after disabling the last one, but somehow i was able to jump down and find a dark area! Saved again, ran up the stairs and through that door, and on to Shetland. End of level. Whew! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToxicMegacolon Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Expert difficulty is stupid. The one shot killing didn't bother me as much as the superhuman hearing and vision exhibited by most of the guards. Can't wait to play on Hard and then on Normal.

jrriojase Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 If you know your way around the level, it's not that hard to even make it around without even knocking anyone out. I had played the XBOX version, and when I got this, my first playthrough was on Expert. Didn't even knock anyone out, and got most of the difficult trophies on my first run. Sadly, I now have to play it on normal and hard, both for the normal trophy and the one where you don't die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leon_Plopski Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 You also only get one save slot as oppossed to three save slots on normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezz Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 I started it on Elite and i found it rather easy, if you know your way around there isn't much to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homerjnick Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 It is easy...if you are not going for any other trophies...I found the trophy for completing it on Hard without 5 deaths much harder... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
