Man Haven's Fall has been the hardest for me by far. I dont have banshees, tanks, ghosts etc. Everytime I stop an infestation theres another one up. My latest file only has one of the bases left but im completely mined out so I dont have enough vikings to stop the new infestations

Engine of Destruction by far. I tried doing it as soon as it was available (wanted to get to the secret mission) and had to abandon it until I got more researches. It was pretty much impossible to keep the Odin alive since the AI target fires healers and I couldn't produce enough SCVs to keep my economy healthy and keep the Odin healed -.-. All In was the only other mission that needed a second go, everything else was 1shot (pretty much).
It's all good. I just want rainbows, unicorns and machine guns. -Sundance DiGiovanni

Honestly i felt engine was kinda easy if you micro properly, let odin tank and "smart" repair him. i did have to reload twice because on the 3rdbase i wasnt prepared properly and same with the 4th. i never surpassed 90 food i think. 2tanks at base with a bunker with marines and a scv repair was all the defense i needed. about 3 scvs following behind odin to repair him when the dust settles a bit. only used wraiths in my pushes also, never had more than 16ish wraiths at one time(they will die though so have to make more) and 2 science vessels. i just picked off ravens ASAP and used wraiths help to clear out the initial enemies before i sent scvs to repair odin. once i got to the 4th base i just dive bombed the battlecruisers, there was a point though where my scvs died while odin was like 300hp so i called down some mules and it was extremely close(he was around 150hp at one point) but then he nuked em shortly after.

Ironically Sinister Turn took me an hour cuz i was extremely stubborn and kept trying to break the final base with only like a 50ish food army, meanwhile for the last 30min of the game Maar was at like 1400shield/1400hp. then i read a post saying just distract the base units and blink ur stalkers in and insta win which i did in one shot -_-

Read most of this thread, every mission that was listed as being hard I beat by just massing bio except for All-in which I massed hive mind emulators and spammed mind control.

Fun fact on the maw of the void you only count as losting a unit in the rip field if the rip field kills it not another unit so if a unit is low and you cant get it out shoot it for the achievement. Overall brutal was surprisingly easy once I got all the marine/medic upgrades from the armory bio basically wins the game except for a few missions even on welcome to the jungle I got both acheivements with just bio.

Everyone says engine of destruction is hard but i won on my second try. I thought supernova was hard, and the last level. t.t

Engine of Destruction was easy - I did it on my first try (although I had a few Science Vessels and some SCVs repairing the Odin and spammed Banshees/Vikings).

Considering how much trouble I had the first playthrough with Supernova, it seemed kinda easy this time. Just Mass Banshees, add a few Science Vessels (later also a few Vikings), be aggressive, when you get attacked, defend with your cloaked Banshees. After taking the last base, just lift your buildings and chill in the right bottom corner. Wait until the fire has almost reached the artifact, then destroy it with your Banshees.

The only things left for me to do are In Utter Darkness and All In. Got damn, I hate these missions so much,

i didnt find any mission hard its just very basic things u do and the rest is ez
on engine of destruction, i just went 2 port wraith and ended up winning with like 20 something wraiths all cloaked with some scv repairing the odin and some seige support (mercenary) on brutal
also utter darkness is just a uber deathmap make alot of collosis in start (also grave lift the hybrids) and start getting void rays after cuz of the lack of anti air in zerg
