After selling  70 bajillion copies of Modern Warfare 2 in a day, Infinity Ward has heard it from all gamers.  After playing through Call of Duty: World at War on Veteran, Modern Warfare 2 seems like a walk in the park.  Simply put, Veteran just isn’t hard enough, I mean, if I’m not walking into a wall of grenades at every turn, what’s the point, right?

Well, Infinity Ward has responded.

Justin Thyme, IW VP of Communications posted this on his Twitter account:

@Youtubevideomaker “We get it, Favela on Veteran isn’t cheap enough, so we’ve got something up our sleeve coming soon this Christmas.”

It seems that IW having to live in the shadow of juggernaut Treyarch and last year’s Call of Duty: World at War and the batshit insane Veteran difficulty level has formed a few cracks in IW’s otherwise fantastic Modern Warfare 2.

Thyme responded to the cryptic Tweet last week when he said,

“We understand that there has been some criticism regarding the level of difficulty in our single player campaign. We understand that our fans have come to expect a certain level of cheapness when completing our single player campaign on the highest difficulty. While we apologize for a lack of ridiculous amount of grenade spam found in other CoD games, mainly used to hide poor AI issues at the higher difficulty levels, we recognize that a lack of grenade spam in our campaign could hurt us in the long run with our hardcore following that has come to expect that type of thing.”

When asked what else IW has in mind with their proposed DLC to satiate the rabid fan base, Thyme said,

“Well, we want to give you about as much of a chance as a civilian at the Moscow Airport, so, we’re also bringing infinite respawning enemies back too…”

The new difficultly level entitled “No Russian, Bitches” drops on 12/25/09.
