What difficulty to you play on?
Just curious.

I've found that I've been out of play so long that I can't do very well on medium difficulty and have to scale it back to easy. ... Which is too easy. Irony right?

Medium mode it seems I make one wrong move and I'm totally screwed.

I can't believe some people play on insane mode D:

Re: What difficulty to you play on?
I did most of the Main campaign on Hard, but sometimes I scale back to Medium or even Easy, especially more often in new campaigns, since I've played the Main FS2 one a few times and know what to do. :)

Re: What difficulty to you play on?
I pretty much play on Normal most of the time. Not too hard, not too easy. It gives you enough of a challenge but still isn't frustrating when you die.

Re: What difficulty to you play on?
Hard, for the most part, but I step it up to insane if the mission is easy-ish or will get me a lotta points.  High Noon is a good example.

Where is "Other"

I play on Easy, but with an AI profile which has no difference between Insane and Easy, except for damage reduction.
So I play on insane, with 4x HP. lol.

If I can't use the profile, then Medium.

Primarily Medium, but I typically stomp a lot of arse at that level, so I've been trying to step up to Hard. Not all missions are really that fun above Medium- "Slaying Ravana" is an infamous example.

Slaying Ravana is honestly a terrible mission on all levels.

Re: What difficulty to you play on?
I should Fred a custom Slaying Ravana someday.

I play on Hard or Insane myself in SP. On multiplayer, Insane all the way (respawns ftw).
People are stupid, therefore anything popular is at best suspicious.

I play mostly on insane, except when I come accross missions that haven't really been balanced for insane difficulty.

Re: What difficulty to you play on?
I've almost always played on Easy, but I'm trying to step things up to Medium when I can.  I figure I don't need more added frustration than is absolutely necessary. :p

Medium tends to float my boat now, enough difficulty with my mouse and keyboard.

I did complete most campaigns on Hard, some missions on Insane when I had my joystick, but I not anymore...

Re: What difficulty to you play on?
Today I play mostly on Medium, I used to play on Insane, but I've got a new joystick which I had to get used to. I'll most likely get back to Insane soon.

Re: What difficulty to you play on?
I play on Insane for FS2 campaign and Medium on other campaigns/conversions.

Stuck on Slaying Ravana so I went what the hell, and just played WoD instead.

Re: What difficulty to you play on?
I'm trying Hard these days. It's undoubtedly a challenging difficulty level, and usually I need to repeat the mission twice or thrice to win it. Heck, sometimes even 5 times (of course, one of those missions would be Slaying Ravana).

I tried on Insane, and I couldn't even get past the 3rd mission. Hard as ****!
With the rapid increase of FS fan-made campaigns, we're giving the GTVA a harder time with more violence and genocide.

Re: What difficulty to you play on?
Game is fun as hell on Insane. I actually kinda liked Slaying Ravana, if only because it really made you respect how dangerous capships can be. For some reason the mission I had the most trouble with was A Flaming Sword.  :blah:

I usually do first plays on Medium, though.
