8 Challenging Video Game Moments That Made You Sweat

7. Call Of Duty 4 - Mile High Club

It's worth laying out as soon as possible that the campaign of Call of Duty 4 is not a particularly challenging, even on higher difficulties.

I mean sure, the player will have to hone their skills in FPS combat in order to make in it through some of the more challenging missions alive, but, for the most part, reaching the credits isn't likely to cause anyone to tear their hair out anytime soon.

But it is what comes after the main story of the first Call of Duty game not focusing on the Second World War that earns it a place on this list.

Mile High Club is an optional mission at the end of the campaign which begins with a hilarious reference to the 1980 comedy Airplane. (Shirley you can't be serious)

What guarantees this mission's spot on this list is the timer the player most outrun in order to complete, ranging from 3 minutes on recruit difficulty, right the way down to just 60 seconds on veteran. Meaning that players have to be almost perfect in order to reach the end before time runs out or be faced with a series of utterly frustrating death screens.
