Brutal difficulty

[GnaReffotsirk]

The Tosh mission terrazine thing require you to expand if you attempt to murder the protoss base in brutal. Still, I use a lot of resource on useless stuff like mech and my cool perdition turrets.

Beat it on brutal.

I did not M&M much, I usually tried to mix things up since it's just single player. I wanted some flavor in my units. Contrary to the above posts, you do indeed need to expand if you use metal.
A lot of the bases are not adequate if you are going metal. I had to in almost everymap to make my legion of siege tanks and vikings.

You guys just cheesed it out with M&M.

My first playthrough i did Brutal difficulty and i found it underwhelming, i could pretty much M&M every level and win. (I didn't every level of course but whenever i did it was extremely easy)

I was just saying M&M is all you need to do to win, i never said that's all i did.

I'll do it someday. I did it on normal just for the story. I'll probably go achievement hunting first, then do a Brutal clear.

Brutal difficulty is the only difficulty

[Todie]

it might be mostly me being disorganized, but i feel forced to expand plenty.


yeah, i feel its a bit steep in between hard and brutal though.. iv switched down to hard a few times - getting bored by the repition required to get through a tough one sometimes, but then, its just a breeze... i think the gamespeed is lowered, adn that along with all the otehr parameters that scale with dificulty setting makes the differance quite huge.

... whts off-putting about playing on brutal is just that; how fast the gamepace is.. i went in to the campaign wanting to get real nifty with tactical ambushes, sneaky reaper use, etc, but other than in some covert ops missions, there is really no time or room for that... these nifty tactics simply arnt rational options to brute force. not on the high speed settings that make it impossible to commes close to optimizing multitasking.

... so yeah, i could slow down the game by lowering the difficulty, but im sure that would remove all challenge.


... well, it aint over till the fat lady singe; i have only played about 18 missions.

about achievements, at least there's achievements for completing certain numbers of missions on Brutal; i got the one for 10. dont know if there are more.

I'm playing on hard the whole campaign, when i finished it i will replay the campaign on brutal. I dont like to rush through the campaign . i want to indulge myself in it

For the early missions and some Zerg missions, that's certainly true. However, to say that for all of them is certainly false.

You guys beat it on brutal already? Damn. I'm still on like mission 7 or 8. :P

[Todie]

actually, i get waht you mean by the expanding thing now; by the time i've cleared an expansion, the main base is pretty much running out anyway.

Perhaps, but as stated earlier when you get the science vessel you can use mech and have it work as the new M&M.
