Easy right? Keep in mind that this is one of the last missions I haven't done yet, but when I go back to try to do it I have almost no tech, armory upgrades, or units available.
Everything I read recommends using the following units. I bet it would be easy to use nukes and siege, or cloak banshees. Keep in mind I do not have these:
1) Ghosts/Spectres 2) Tanks 3) Medivacs 4) Perdition Towers 5) Reapers 6) Wraiths 7) Banshees 8) Orbital Command (no mules) 9) No auto-refinery 10) Flaming auto-turrets
Basically I raced to accept this mission, found out it was impossible and decided to come back to it.
I just have marines, firebats, marauders, medics, diamondbacks, hellions, and vikings off one base with no mules (you can expand to the top, but again, no siege). I'm a diamond player.
This is frustrating because I finished 26 missions already and I think I might have accepted this mission too early on and now I need to redo the entire campaign.
The entire level can be done easily with vikings on offence and whatever you want to use on defence. Mass vikings, target fire mutas, kill the brood lords, land in the safest spot you can get, and clear the ground. Just keep making vikings and you can mow through everything.
Should be in Single Player, anyway.
EDIT: Of course, MM works. But I still like mass viking on this'n. Just keep making the bastards.
This is the one where your killing the zerg instead of trying to save them right? Try looking through this http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Campaign/Haven's_Fall and see what you can find. I'm pretty sure medic marine will run it over, but when I did it, I used medics, marines, tanks and vikings for spotting. As long as you have stim and combat shields, you can pretty much mass up off your one base and run around killing the zerg stuff (kinda like in multiplayer XD)
All I used were Vikings in this mission. Pump them out and use drop/lift micro to keep Vikings alive. Fly the ones home that are hurt and repair - rinse and repeat. Getting attack and armor upgrades really helps.
At home just make a nice simcity with bunkers and marines - you should be fine.
Honestly I thought this mission was pretty easy on Brutal. Did it in one try and didn't let any village get taken over.
You guys were right, marine/medic with upgrades. Honestly I only made two barracks with reactors and one starport with reactor, expand to the top base build two more barracks, send vikings with army and by the end when you mine them both out you'll be 5000/3000 maxed out supply. Just take the top base early on and set your rally point to whereever the usual two entrances are. Make about 1/4 of your army vikings for the broods.
You can do this mission easily on brutal, just go mass viking (1 reactor starport), then as soon as you saturate your mineral line start massing marines n medics (4-5-6 rax), then just start rolling the zerg bases. ezpez
If someone else is still trying to do this, keep in mind that reacting quickly to new settlements being infested is really important. Generally all you need to do is instantly send your Viking flock there as soon as you get the warning. Kill the Mutas first, then the Brood Lords. After that land and leave the Vikings in attack move. They'll target down the zerg attacking units first, then focus automatically on the Virophage. Or you can do it manually if your multitasking is decent enough. Regardless, be sure to keep an eye on the Virophage's progress bar and focus it down for first if it's too close to completion.
It's also worth noting that once you've rid an already infested settlement of all the zerg the attack waves will stop spawning from there, so it's a good idea to proceed with the cleanup in an ordinate fashion. That way you can stop defending one side of your base halfway through the mission.
All you need to do is mass vikings. They key to this is to make sure you kill the new infestations. As long as no new infestations take place, that attack waves will be super small and you only need to add two medics to your starting units.

I just got 2 bio groups of about 30 and mass vikings, ran around the map killing shit, GG.
Early on you should be focusing on macroing up and killing of infestation with vikings.
I'm mid gold now (although I haven't played in a while) but I did all the brutal missions (and most with time/whatever to spare) back when I was in high bronze/low silver. None were really that hard.
You can do it with just marine/medic or pure vikings as everybody said but it also took me about 5 trys or something. I'm also relatively sure that you already got siege tanks in that mission o.O Maybe because I took a different mission path which led to other tech (I also had the battlecruiser before doing that stupid engine of destruction mission.). I also recommend watching Zai's brutal walkthrough (it's on PsyStarcrafts channel in an own playlist) to get an idea of what to do etc.

He trolled you by calling you a troll
That's called (Troll)² or metaTroll, although the term metaTrolling is a Troll itself since nobody who use words with meta has a clue of what the prefix means.
