Veteran mode is scary enough, thanks

We were only just chatting about overly harsh difficulty modes last week with Naughty Dog’sBrutal optionforUncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, and now here’s Treyarch with a grueling addition toCall of Duty: Black Ops IIIto contrast the campaign’sunlocked level structure.

With Realistic difficulty, “you have one point of life, so if you’re shot once, you’re dead,” director Jason Blundell toldXbox Achievements, adding that you’ll have to survive as a group. “You end up respecting the level in a completely different way, and once gunfire opens up, everyone just drops to the ground, because if any one bullet hits you or a grenade goes off near you, you’re dead.”

There’s an achievement / trophy, “No One Will Believe You,” tied to clearing Realistic (though not for the PS3 and Xbox 360 ports ofBlack Ops III, which lack the campaign). Good luck with that.
