TheCall of Dutyfranchise has been a staple of the video game industry ever since its debut in 2003. Offering some of the best gunplay mechanics in any first-person shooter,Call of Dutyhas remained at the very top of the industry for quite some time, and though it stumbled a little in the mid 2010s, it’s managed to pick itself back up, with2019’sCall of Duty: Modern Warfarebreathing new life into the franchise. WithCall of Dutybeing such a popular franchise, developers tend not to make the core experience all too difficult, in an attempt to keep the game accessible for all, but for those who prefer a more challenging experience,Call of Dutydoes offer several difficulty tiers.

For those looking to simply enjoyCall of Dutyfor its story, characters, and gameplay, Recruit difficulty is setting to go far, making death extremely unlikely. For those wanting slightly more challenging foes, Regular is the ideal tier, and is generally how the developer intends the game to be experienced. Hardened is for those who really enjoyCall of Dutywhen it’s at its most intense, and Veteran is for the masochists out there. Death in just one or two shots, unrelenting, pin-point precise enemies, and unforgiving checkpoints ensure that Veteran is the ultimateCall of Dutychallenge, but some entries go a little too far with their difficulty.
