Modern Warfare 2

Photobucket

Difficulty: The trophy set for Modern Warfare 2 is straight forward and easy. The veteran difficulty can be challenging but the checkpoints are so plentiful that you will have no problem getting through the missions if you have some patience.

Time: Completing all the trophies for the single player campaign took 12 hours on two playthroughs. You can complete the single player trophies complete in one playthrough to shave a few hours off the time. If you do so I would estimate finishing them at around 10 hours. The Spec Ops mission had a completion time of 31 hours. However, depending on your skill, and/or your friend's skills, you can finish the spec ops mission much quicker. I would speculate it is possible to finish Spec Ops around the 20 hour mark. I would look to invest anywhere from 25-50 hours for the platinum.

Tips: Juggernauts: These beasts can be killed with one shot to the head from a thumper. They will always seek to enter a building through a doorway, so if you find a building with one entry you can block them from coming in because they cannot step over your dead body. On the oil rig if you create a choke point, two people with sniper rifles can take out one juggernaut VERY quickly.

Spec Ops: Some missions can be completed by just getting to the final checkpoint without the necessity to kill enemies. Once you find out what missions these are, set up a plan (which usually involves flashbangs) to get to the finish point quickly without killing many people.

Snatch & Grab: The easiest way to complete this mission is once you cleared the field from the airplane at the halfway mark, make a dash for the smoke by sticking to the right side of the map. While running never stop and use flashbangs if you see enemies so you can easily run past them.

Reloading: Some weapons have long reload animations, like the ones that have very large clips. If you pay attention you can see that your clip is finished reloading before the animation is complete. Once you see the clip fully recharged you can melee and cancel the rest of the reload animation. It will shave a second or so from your reload, which can help in certain situations.
