Havvi, look at my suggestion: http://www.speedrun.com/mw3/thread/8vfd5

Can we fix the leaderboard so there is difficulty like Veteran in Spec Ops? Just a little more variety.

I do not want to add a veteran category for speedruns for a few reasons

1. It completely defeats the purpose of a speedrun, the point is to go fast, if you do it on veteran you are making it harder for ¤no¤ reason..making the run slower for no visual difference.
2. Honestly veteran is going to be so much more luck based...you ¤can¤ do the same strategies, but would have to be much luckier
3. Variety is not needed....due to all the IL's from campaign and spec ops, there is a lot of variety already

The only thing like that I would consider being good to add would be points...which would mean veteran would be required since there's a 20k point boost in doing veteran difficulty. This would actually make sense, due to the fact that's how the leaderboard in MW3 is actually set up.

Rule change is a better idea, most games start timer at gaining control.
