Recruit

"You will crush the German War Machine without effort. For players new to first-person shooters."

Recruit is one of the four difficulty settings in the Call of Duty series. It is the easiest of the four difficulties, as the player takes small amounts of damage from most weapons and the AI is generally inaccurate. The difficulty is recommended for players new to the First Person Shooter genre.

Tips

 * It is not recommended to rush ahead of your allies, because it is possible that every enemy in the vicinity will open up at you. Only rush ahead when there are no more than three enemies, and you have a fast firing weapon with sufficient ammo.
 * Many achievements and trophies cannot be obtained on this difficulty level.
 * Recruit is seen by some as a "testing" level of their abilities in games. Parts where they die easily in this level indicate that they may have a hard time getting past it in Hardened, Veteran, or even Regular (or known by other names in different Call of Duty games).

Trivia

 * In Call of Duty and Call of Duty: United Offensive, this difficulty level was originally called "Greenhorn".
 * In Call of Duty 2, this difficulty level is named "Easy".
 * In Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare it will take 16 shots in a row with the RPG to kill the player in recruit.
