Call of Duty: World at War

Considered the fifth in the Call of Duty series, World At War is a first-person action shooter taking place during World War II. The player is Private C. Miller of the United States Marine Corp who, after his rescue from a Japanese POW, is taken to various locations during the ending days of the second world war.

The game's characters are voiced by several celebrity actors such as Gary Oldman and Kiefer Sutherland. World At War was well received by critics, gaining an average rating of 87%, particularly praised for its multiplayer mode.

While Modern Warfare 3 is considered one of the easier games in the Call of Duty series, World At War is perhaps the most difficult. There are only 3 online trophies, which can be obtained quickly with a boosting partner. Yet the offline trophies will give you quite a bit of trouble, mainly completing the game on its hardest difficulty mode, as you will be bombarded with grenades and other attacks, dying relentlessly towards that Platinum.

A challenging game to complete, even for first-person shooter experts.

If you're in a hurry for that Platinum, you can collect all the offline trophies in one playthrough. This means selecting Veteran mode, and making sure you find all the mission-specific trophies along the way. See the Call of Duty World at War trophy guide links under our Links tab for help with those.

However, if you feel that collecting those trophies while playing Veteran mode is a bit frustrating (and many of you will!) then we recommend selecting the regular mode first. The story itself is not very long, and can easily be completed in a day. It's up to you on how confident you are in your first-person shooter skills. The only online trophy which may give you some trouble is Blue Ribbon, which requires you to come in first place in a 4-player competitive co-op match. If you're used to playing first-person shooters, then this shouldn't be too much of a problem after some trial and error. Otherwise, check out the boosting forums we've posted under our Links tab to find a boosting buddy.

Call of Duty Black Ops Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Call of Duty Black Ops Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  A first-person shooter and seventh installment in the Call of Duty series, taking place during the Cold War. Requires a little more than average first-person shooter skills for the Platinum trophy.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC

Call of Duty: Black Ops

Call of Duty: Black Ops is a first-person shooter, and the seventh installment in the Call of Duty series. The game includes a "Zombie" mode, in addition to the standard single-player campaign and multiplayer.

Taking place during the Cold War of the '60's, the player goes behind enemy lines in various locations, including Cuba, Kazakhstan, Hong Kong, and Laos, while taking control of various different characters as part of a Black Ops mission. The game also features historical characters, such as John F. Kennedy and Fidel Castro.

Black Ops enjoyed both financial and critical success, with an average score of 88%, praised for its polished graphics, exciting campaign, and overall fun multiplayer.

This rating, of course, depends on your skills at first-person shooters. If you're familiar with Call of Duty: World at War, you'll be happy to know that Black Ops is far easier to play on Veteran mode.

Trophies include story-related, specific challenges, collectibles, and a few online. On average, it may take you toughly 30 hours to complete, though of course this depends on your FPS skills.

If you're new to the Call of Duty series, or first-person shooters in general, we recommend beginning the game on Recruit mode. Otherwise, you can head straight into Veteran. During the campaign, you'll want to follow a Walkthrough to locate all the Intel, as well as complete various challenges along the way to claim certain trophies - see the Call of Duty Black Ops trophy guide links under our Links tab for further details.

Once that's finished, you should have only the online trophies left to deal with. Having completed the campaign, you'll have unlocked the Zombie mode - many of its trophies are easier to collect with other people rather than on your own. If you're having problems finding people to play with, we've included a Forum to find a boosting buddy under out Links tab.

Quantum of Solace Trophy Guide

Editorial Team

Quantum of Solace Trophy Guide. Difficulty: ***  A first-person shooter based on both James Bond films, Casino Royal and Quantum of Solace. The offline trophies are of average difficulty, but the 19 online trophies are challenging without boosting.

Game Name Difficulty Trophies Developer Country Bronze Silver Gold Online DLC
Quantum of Solace *** 51 Treyarch U.S. 40 8 2 19 0

Quantum of Solace

The game is a first-person shooter, based on both films Casino Royal and Quantum of Solace. If you've seen the movies, then you pretty much know the storyline. Bond has kidnapped Mr. White, a member of the secret Quantum organization. After a quick interrogation, White escapes, and Bond teams up with environmentalist Dominic Greene to spy on and foil White's plans. The story flashes back and forth between events in Casino Royal and Quantum of Solace.

the game received an average score rating of 67%, with most online magazines agreeing that the game is fairly decent for one based on a film, but is simply "okay" when compared to other original first-person shooters.

The offline trophies aren't too difficult, but the game includes 19 online trophies. On your own, and considering how few people are now playing this title, we've given Quantum of Solace a 3-star rating. However, if you manage to find yourself a boosting partner, the rating could be eased down to 2-stars.

If you're in a rush for the platinum, select 007 mode (which is the most difficult) and play through beginning to end. It's certainly possible to collect all the offline trophies in one go, but there are specific challenges you'll need to do on each level, as well as find certain collectibles. Check out the Quantum of Solace trophy guide links under our Links tab to make sure you don't miss anything. But if you do, don't fret! There is a chapter select available.

The online trophies will require more time and effort - particularly the For England, James? trophy, which requires you earn over 100,000 credits. Simply work your way towards it by concentrating on the other trophies - see the trophy guides in the Links page for extra assistance.

The only problem with this game, is that it's old. Rarely will you find anyone online anymore - which means a boosting partner is almost a must. Either ask a friend to rent the game, or put out an SOS on a forum.
