Haven't made it through on insane yet (and not sure when I will now that SC2 is out...) but just wondering, why mass chainsaws? So you can run and kill? Or to tear down doors/rocks?

The chainsaw is one of the best weapons in the hands of a good player. With a few good rolls you can solo Insane shield bugs in about 8 seconds.
I don't agree that it's great for speed runs though, since you have to slow down to fire it. Except for Timor Station where you use it to break down rocks.
Grenade launchers are better at destroying doors, like on landing bay for example.

Joining these official groups are almost pointless, because there are too many players, basically you can join any game and find someone from that group and that doesn't really give you anything.

Creating own group with people aknowledging the idea could be worth it. Usually it's just like an info chan for a close (not closed ) community.

And I'm gonna brag a bit, everyone is saying how hard "Hard" is and insane needs medics, my friend even said it has to be done slowly clearing things out.

We did all the insane levels with 3 people and no medics. Only level where we needed a 4th person was 3rd Daemia Bridge Station and it was a speedrun! \m/ 8)

Medics are handy for insane speed runs, mostly because Bastille has a bonus to adrenaline length. And being able to heal helps. But for speed runs you NEED 4 people on some levels.

You don't need 4 people for any speed run. You can do most of them with 2 and even 1 person on Cargo Elevator.

If you do it easy. Insane speed runs require 4 people. And the barracks require 4 regardless of difficulty level.

By barracks you mean SynTek Residential?
I've done them all 3 man myself so I know you're mistaken.

I'm sure I could do some of Insane ones without 4 people too. Cargo elevator certainly.

Yes, Residential. And some can be done on Insane with 3 people. None can be done solo (you won't have enough Adrenaline). I wouldn't even try with 2.

Just a question: What is the viability of the mining laser during the last mission?
3 people, myself and 2 other friends, had a run where 2 of us ended up with the mining laser since we ran out of ammo. When we died, my friend speculates that the reason of our death was that we had "only 1 person with any firepower at all".

Your thoughts on using the mining laser?

According to this friend, the mining laser is only super effective on 2 things:
Rocks (inanimate objects), and teammates
