This game is tricky - Even 'Normal' difficulty is tough

[mbutton15]

I can't think of any game that has a tougher 'Normal' level. Don't get me wrong, it's not a complaint, just an observation.

I've just come back to this game after a large break, and still can't believe how testing it is on 'Normal' level. When I first played I did actually complete all three missons on 'Normal'. I even
managed to get the alien all the way to the end on 'Hard', but frustratingly just could not finish off the final boss.

Coming back to the game now I try Predator on 'Hard' and can't even get past the first half dozen aliens !! So I've switched to 'Normal' difficulty hoping I can master the Predator attacks in preperation for a new try on 'Hard'.

imo the level of difficulty between normal and hard is about the same and some playthroughs are done easily and some are confusingly hard...all depends how bloodthirsty the ai is that day

Dude first play on easy to learn how to play to learn the best tactics, then play or high level.
After that will not be to hard for play on nightmare level

Levels progress harder in regards to the settings marines as an ex ,,private aliens easy to kill and as you progress corporal,,sergeant,,,captain,,,general... the aliens become harder to kill and waste your amo more

Nightmare settings only difference is harder to kill and if you get killed once only its game over and you have to start all over again in nightmare settings

Marine was my least favourite of the three. I berely made it through the nightclub on 'Normal', so not looking forward to that when I try on 'Hard' !! I may well do a couple of run-throughs on 'Easy' just to familiarise myself with the environment. And nice tip about leaving injured aliens to crawl around, which stops new ones spawning.

I have just finished Predator on 'Hard' and now going for Alien. But I feel 'Nightmare' may be beyond me as I rarely finish a mission without having died at least once.

Marine missions is the most difficult to play, simply represents bigger challenge to play
For this reason, it is my favorite
Generaly speaking ,the only difference between hard and nightmare is that they nighmare not have checkpoints
So it is equal the level of difficulty
You can play on the same way like you play on hard

same for me, on normal i'm unable to kill the single alien that attacks when you must open the lab door, must be 5 minutes after the start. i feel pityfull.

i tried at least 20 times.

i got no mouse button 3 to evade, and having to move, shoot then press alt leads to a total choas then me dead.

when i remember to put repeat fire on...well, makes no difference with only 11 bullets left. I will shot at the ceilingn once, then at the floor, then i'll be dead.

No idea how i'll do it without a controller.
