For instance, it autosaved while Odin was fighting couple of vultures, but when I load, all these vultures simply skip him and go straight into my base and focus only my SCV's... rather annoying. I also have to say that I'm disappointed with amount of "here are 6 SCV's and empty base for you, please build it up from scratch like you haven't done it millions of times already" missions... I guess I'll pause with campaign for now since I really wanted to beat it only on brutal difficulty  (C+ player, not a total retard xD) | ||

Wonder how you guys did the mission with the laser? I tried going heavy tanks one round, and M&M&M another. Both times I just got overwhelmed around 25%. I walled off with supply depots and a bunker, then powered tanks. On each ramp I had about 5-6 tanks each, some marines, marauders, and medics. Get two SCVs on each side patrolling so they repair everything super fast. Use the laser aggressively and focus on burning down Immortals > Colossi > Archons. Micro your tanks to target fire templar before they become a threat. I think at 25% you will also want a lot of missile turrets up. Kill void rays first, your defenses should take care of ground stuff until you aren't being savaged to death by Protoss air. | ||

Both times I just got overwhelmed around 25%. + Show Spoiler + 2 bunkers in front with 4 scvs with auto-repair somewhere near them on both sides. Marines inside + 2 maras for slow on archons. Later, put 2 planetery fortresses down @ east to block your ramp + expand to another mineral field. Put 4-5 tanks behind bunkers on both sides. Make MnM for Anti-Air + scouting the ruins for +protoss tech points. When you get to use the laser yourself on anything you want, immediately hotkey it to a free hotkey. Kill every immortal and colossus you see with the laser. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Fuck the archons and templars, they'll crash on the bunks. When the door drops below 1400 hp(or maybe it was 1900?), just keep killing the door. Don't try to kill the units any more, it's useless. level done in approx 39~ mins. Two raxes constantly pumping mnm and 1 factory for sieges. I made 3 PFs. | ||

Attacks tend to come as scripted events, rather than the AI just playing a 'build' like in practice vs AI. I think the key difference on Brutal would be that there's more in each wave/attack/defense/what have you, and that they have more upgrades. | ||

Im not too sure about using mmm in this scenario. Its just too slow imo. The campaign is awesome. Completed bout 7 missions on brutal so far. More tommorow. What do peeps think about upgrades 4 brutal? Which ones are the most useful? This is so I can plan ahead a little. For a specific mission? The missile turrret upgrade makes the laser drilling level soo much easier. | ||

Anyone have any tips? I've tried expanding to the top, they find and kill it within 2 waves 100% of the time (I haven't tried lifting the CC during night yet...). Do I need the extra bunker space? Bigger firebat radius? I've been getting marine upgrades so far and they've proven pretty useless for this mission. Any help appreciated. | ||

I plan on going back through brutal though just cause I thought it was a really fun challenge, you had to actually use your brain and still barely survive. | ||
