If I find a game too easy I just turn up the difficulty. I don't play the Assassin Creed games so I have no idea if they are easy or not. After years of playing Halo I found that normal was too easy for me in Halo 4 so now I play all Halo games on Heroic. I still play through on Legendary, but I find that a little more frustrating than just challenging so I haven't yet reached the point where Halo is too easy.

It's funny to me that people are saying that COD BLOPS is too easy. I play it on normal and the game throws bullets at me from every angle. I often die early in a firefight until I learn where all the shooters are and where to hid. I tried playing it on a harder difficult, but I got killed so fast and so much that I switched back to normal.

Maybe it's my play style. I'm very much a run and gun guy so Halo is my thing. COD is a bit more cover based so it doesn't lend itself to me running out into the fray like I always do.

i played black ops a long time ago and the one of the reasons i stoped playing it was because i felt it was to easy. the thing is, i played CoD MW2 for endless fucking hours, so i was really really good at CoD. in one level in black ops we are fighting down a hill and it turned out i have to kick some barrels down the hill to start a fire so that more soldiers wouldnt come and i can go through, i didnt realize that and i just jumped down, killed everybody in my sight, kept killing the people who kept coming and continued. the game was so easy that when they wanted to make it impossible for me to go through i went in like nothing was wrong. thats one of the reasons i feel CoD is really easy actually


I played that level today, for the first time. I only just got the game this week.

I did the same thing. I didn't know you were supposed to roll the barrels. I cleared the top, then the middle, then the bottom of the hill and ran to the next section.

However, I didn't think it was easy. I died several times until I worked out in what order to eliminate the enemies and which spots I could recover from hits.

I'm sure you are much better at COD than me, but do you want your games to be so hard that they destroy the fun for everyone else? If COD was harder on normal a lot of people would consider it unfair and either turn it down to easy or quit.

I assume you are playing on the hardest difficulty. If you find the hardest difficulty too easy and I consider it so hard it's not fun I'm not sure how developers can make you happy and still keep people like me happy. I think the difficulty levels have enough range for everyone. If you turn it up to the hardest level and still find it easy I think you may just be beyond what devs can accomodate for.

lol pretty much proof of bad level design or at least unclear objectives.

I also noticed much later that I was supposed to kick those barrels...

I agree. I didn't know I could kick the barrels. I kept shooting them because the NPCs said they were full of napalm, but they wouldn't explode. I didn't know they were kickable until bananaking21 mentioned it XD
