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? | ||

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

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

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 | ||

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. | ||

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. U didn't hear? Gravity was OP as shit. I don't think they've changed the campaign since release though. Also "ALL IN" was the hardest mission by far. | ||

Kinda silly to have not read the thread, and also to be calling other people teenagers as well as using the term as an insult honestly. Especially when talking about doing research before replying. | ||

When SC2 came that mission was nearly impossible for me on Hard. Now I can do it on Brutal without any issues. And I don't play much either. And I don't play protoss, I just understand the strengths and weaknesses of the units from having played against them. I know where storms go, I know how to pull back colossi. My micro and use of control groups is better so lifting up the hybrids is easy. My macro is better by orders of magnitude. The OP found the mission easier because the OP has, amazingly enough, gotten better at a game he's played for the last 2 years. | ||

The only patches have been bug fixes, and please, anybody who even casually played BW could go through the entire campaign on brutal, it's not hard at all. | ||

Due to one of the infamous Blizzard bugs, I couldn't authenticate my client, without downloading and playing a map, which I couldn't do, so I was stuck with single player and some very bad AI on the original maps. Anyway - I strongly believe, there is no one who played the single player more times, than I have. But enough intro - the campaign never got nerfed. It's just that we got better. Right now It's so obvious to me what I need to do and how to use what I got, that it looks like a child game. That wasn't the case when we all started learning the game back in the days. And yeah - I have read every single patch note as well. | ||

I have only played the first 4 missions so I don't know a shit about campaign.

Dänske djävel! ;D Yeah, if you look at the amount of top pros from sweden and compare it to some other country like denmark, you might find it is pretty high. ;P I would actually like to see stats on that, how many pros are from what country. I suspect Sweden probably has third most. Där näppsade vi dansken igen? | ||

Also, brutal is disgustingly easy if you just spam MM or whatever the featured unit is. It's sad really, they need a harder difficulty. | ||
