Hi.

I played through the campain when the game was released and the hardest mission by far for me was In Utter Darkness.. It was atleast twice as hard as any other mission I played.

Today I decided to play it again after not doing single player for over 1 year atleast, and to my surprise I completed In Utter Darkness 2500 kills with ease o:..

So I wonder, have this mission (brutal) been nerfed since the game was released?

Have you considered the thought that maybe you just got better?
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

Clearly whatever skills you've picked up in multiplayer over the last two years don't carry over to the single player, thus the only logical conclusion must be that Blizz stealth-nerfed the mission sometime inbetween...

When I started playing SC2 I was Platinum, now I'm mid-Masters. Ladder nerf?

Why is every single answer in this thread so petty? Could have made the point (Chances are you improved due to multiplayer) without being so condescending. :o

For those unaware (it seems to be a lot of people) there are a lot of people on YouTube and B.Net who have at times suggested that patches have tweaked the campaign in various ways. Whilst it's not the case, it's not unreasonable that someone who hasn't actively read all the little changes of every patch might believe some levels have been nerfed.

To confirm the answer though, the campaign hasn't been changed since release except for bug fixing.

When you've gotten good, most of brutal will seem like a joke. =P It's fine though. Brutal lived up to its name in the first year of SC2 for most of us.

I mean, I can regularly score 3450+ kills on Utter Darkness Brutal with ease. No dark templars needed.

I played the mission recently (like three weeks ago) for the achievement and got 2.9k kills on Brutal. I just did it again out of curiosity after reading this thread and I got 2.8k, and it felt the same. It might have gotten "nerfed" at some point since release, but I'd guess that it's just that you've gotten better.

Yeah I was a little surprised at how incredibly easy the campaign is on brutal now. Skill makes a big difference

Me too, I remember struggling like hell and doing missions by the neck of the teeth on brutal. When I decided to do it again, I finished the Brutal in 2 days and almost no restarts between missions.

is it?
what if hes stuck in bronze for 2 years, and plays mainly custom games like marine arena and stuff
and if he only plays zerg say, hes gonna be no better with terran then he was 2 years ago

the reason everyone has to be a tool about answering him is because they all wanna flex their e-penis and act really tough

well he says he's in high master in another one of his threads, so I'd say he has in fact simply gotten better...

Clearly a brag thread.
Starcraft 2 was designed to have a best race. You play the worst one.

Clearly some bad bread.

User was warned for this post
sorry that was stupid, pointless and off topic, and not funny.

I doubt they nerfed the mission you just got better.
