You have to abuse the stuff in your lineup that's OP and threat enemy units as having utterly wildly varying threat levels, and some of that is a pain to learn (the enemy have 2 transport light vehicles that are basically interchangable, but they have a machine gun buggy that's a joke and a machine gun truck that's extremely scary.īut I had really good hopes for this game. Now, these things are all strictly speaking managable. I have no shame in saying that I totally didn't expect that to be something the game would do and immediately Alt-F4'd and restarted with a lineup entirely focused on surviving an initial rush. 2nd to last island 3? First 30 secs spawns 4 enemy shotgunnners.įinal mission on island 2 with maxthreat from beating eveyrthing else first? First enemy wave instantly spawned is 2 tanks, 2 buggies and about 15 infantry, all enraged and rushing at you. The final mission of Island 2 was a breeze compared to everything but the final one of island 3. The 'fix' of making the 'max enemy threat' bar cause them all to spawn enraged is also a compelte fustercluck. They deal less damage than TOW turrets, cost more than twice as much, have a pop limit, need to walk to the frontline, and die more easly. Now, to be fair, I'm currently paused and typing this out in the process of beating that mission on my first try on max difficulty with an utter sliver of health and some clutch moments - namely, finding out that bombing runs can kill enemy choppers and that enemy AA are complete idiots that won't prioritize your own heli as long as you throw pipsqueaks or spawn turrets to distract them for half a second. REPEATEDLY.ĪND IT'S ONE WHERE THE SPAWN POINTS FOR TURRETS NEAR YOUR OWN BASE ARE AWFULLY POSITIONED AND FEW IN NUMBER.

Now, the only way to counter these is either your own heli, or have a bunch of ToW turrets and use the increased range buff as the enemy approaches so they three-shot it ASAP, although it still probably killed 5 of your troops and 2 of your vehicles by then.ĪND ONE OF THE FINAL MISSIONS SPAWNS THESE TWO AT A TIME.

And one of the final missions spawns these two at a time. As a 100% cheevo max difficulty player, I can say, pretty much everything added last-second on release is awful in my eyes.Ģ enemy AA tanks? They clump up and get distracted on random player turrets and die instantly to your own helicopter.Įnemy heli? Will 100% kill all of your side for the next minute.
