Definitely going insane, unless it's too hard for a few missions.

Probably Hard on the first playthrough and then insane.

The problem I have with the insane difficulty is that it might make for very long games or abuse some strategies. If you can change the difficulty in the middle of the campaign I might begin as insane and then switch to hard if I find it annoying.
Either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

Going for hard. I doubt Insane will be too hard or anything, but I want some freedom to explore the campaigns custom units and campaign upgrades, while insanes probably is going to force you to stick to the most optimal "builds" and unit combination, abusing OP stuff.


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


Authentication isn't required for guess mode, only on the initial install.

if theres achievemtns for each difficoulty ill rather struggle with it on insane rather than having to re do it on insane a second time, if theres no achievements, ill probably do it on medium/hard.

Just going through on normal. I play campaign for the story, not the challenge. If I want competency I'll do league games (lol?)
Race? No, I'm equally bad with all of them.

There is a thread on this already with the same poll (+brutal).

And yes the highest difficulty is brutal.

Since we know there's a small handful of missions that will be locked out based on the player's choices during the campaign, I know I'm gonna be playing the campaign through a second time anyway. (Plus, this way I can try out alternate researches and mercenaries, etc)

So I figure I'll do it on Normal the first time around, to really absorb the story, etc.

Then do it on Insane (Brutal? whatever the hardest is) to take alternate paths and try and get the achievements.
