Definitely playing on brutal. Normal difficulty is going to be easier than most RTS titles; no one here should be playing on less than hard if he wants any sort of challenge, seriously.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

Hard, no doubt. It'll probably be challenging enough. WC3 campaign was really hard on higher difficulty, at least when I was 12!

I guess when I'm too drunk to play multiplayer and have to resort to the campaign- I will choose insane. Like a previous poster said, the insane AI for the campaign will be different than the insane AI for custom games- as the campaign is largely based on events and triggers, whereas a custom game is a straightforward melee. If that doesn't go well- which after all this downtime from SC2- it may very well not go well- then I will lower the difficulty. But I feel like I'd rather stretch myself and see if I can manage the hardest, then settle for something easier and then try to return to the campaign later. I want to play the campaign once and have no reason to go back :D

I´m gonna play one difficulty below brutal, so I guess that will be hard then?

Then I can replay on brutal when I am bored or wanna play the campaign again!

You can't play sc2 offline, not even singleplayer. You need an active internet connection all the time afaik.

Blizz has indicated that they may move to a ``must activate online first`` policy instead of constantly requiring an internet connection

If the melee AI we know from the Beta is any indication of what they mean by hard, it appears recommendable to play on "hard" at least, because the "very hard" AI isn't very hard at all.

Indicated?

It's simple

Authenticate to Battle.net, play campaign online with achievements etc. while staying online

or

Authenticate to Battle.net, play campaign offline without achievements and no required connection until next time you start the game

Yeah, me too. I just want to ease through single player, watch the cool movies, engage a little in the story, and then only play battlenet from then on.

I would personally start at hard actually if that were the case. The Normal campaign in WC3 was so easy, there was no sense of accomplishment in beating the missions.


The gap in WC3 between normal and hard was huge. When trying WC3 TFT on hard I actually had to read a carefully written guide to complete some of the missions that otherwise were close to impossible for me.

Insane I'd like a challenge more than anything else, and with how easy sc/wc3 was I'm definitely going with insane. Plus I doubt I will replay the campaign until just before the next expansion so i want to play it on the hardest setting.

Insane because I want a challange and I didn't find sc/wc3 campaigns difficult @ the hardest level.
