Fix Hard difficulty
This is the most frustrating, infuriating and utter ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ difficulty increase I have ever seen in my life.

THis isn't hard mode this is pot luck mode.

GDI Commando mission, if you're REALLY lucky, there wont be any units spawning when you destroy the SAM sites, if not, you SCREWED by the third sam site when you're commando has less than 10%hp.

Other missions are just big ♥♥♥♥ you's, yes Im cursing, because a 20% stat penalty as a difficulty increase, is BS.

These 'hard' missions arn't difficult, there boarder line impossible.

Enemy tanks perfectly dodging grenades.
Enemy infanty dodging you're force move commmand to crush them
Enemy tanks PERFECTLY crushing 10+ infantry despite spamming the X (Scatter) key.
Enemy getting stupid eco ratio's
Enemy dealing more damage (Or taking far less)
Light tanks almost able to 1v1 a Medium tank
Enemy artillery almost 1 shotting MLRS

Did ANYONE bother to check if Hard was possible by a NORMAL person and not only possible 1 in 20 tries by a 400 action per min demi god.

Another mission to take out a NOD base, you have a barracks and a War factory, the ONLY way I was able to do it was to bum rush an engineer in an APC, sacrificing a horde of troops as a distraction and taking over their MCV and Airstrip and selling them.

I like a challenge, I have over my lifetime completed EVERY C&C on the hardest settings From RA2 upwards, some took multiple tries, but at least I felt like I was getting somewhere, here its just hope the AI eventually chokes, gets stuck and abuse it.

Hard is over tuned.

(That aside, good job on the rest of the remaster, fix the balancing of hard mode)

You only have to destroy 2 sam sites though as far as I remember.

This is intended. Hard is only possible for a HARD person. A NORMAL person should play on Normal.

Play on easy then. If hard is hard for you then guess what: It's supposed to be hard.

Simple fact is, the C&C1 campaign was never designed to work with hard mode. C&C1 never had a hard mode before.

This has the little side effect that on some missions, yes, it's really, really hard.

Not impossible though. I'm playing through and enjoying the challenge.

I share your frustration with enemy tanks so easily crushing your troops, even as you are spamming the X key to scatter them. It certainly seems like they crush troops that aren't even right underfoot.

Regarding troops randomly popping out of structures and damaging your commando, that used to be an old problem with the old game too and i'm not sure if it's worse now or not, so i end up saving the game right before he gives his "present" and reload if too much damage taken. I agree it's lousy that you have to resort to this - otherwise mission failure no matter how careful you are.

Haven't played Hard yet, but Normal mode does not feel like the original normal difficulty. It feels easier even. Usually the AI starts more attacks in OG. Here I had a few levels with less frequent attacks. So I was expecting hard to be the original difficulty. But now I hear it from various people that Hard is basically "go fugg yourself" difficult. Will try it tomorrow. Something feels off about this version of the game anyway. But I cant pinpoint it. (yes, I play the OG every year once, and when I say normal difficulty feels wrong then it is that way).

All the people with the "git goods" must have never tried playing on hard. :D OP is 100% correct, TD's hard mode is insultingly unplayable.

Apparently you did not read the topic, otherwise you wouldnt say "git gud" or "complaining that hard is hard". The original did not had HardMode. it was not ballanced for multiple difficulties. What happened here is that they changed values that make it even harder than normal in the original. Okay fine, you guys win. I will give it a try this instant and see for myself.

I've played Sekiro and I still agree with them. Tho the GDI commando mission is actually much easier then a number of the other missions since the Hard difficulty modifiers doesnt really matter for that one.

Hard mode didnt exist back then, foo'.

The original came out slightly before my time so this is my playthrough also and it is pretty challenging. I've completed command and conquer 3 on Hard for comparison and definitely agree that this game has some bs mechanics that can force you to restart a mission down to luck. But you can quick save at any point and replay from just before the bs.

Same here, hard mode in TD is not hard, it is frustrating and unfair. Its the only disappointing thing in this remaster :(
SalzStange Jun 6, 2020 @ 6:19pm 
Actually the hard mode is very very difficult. Ya

About the mission. Destroy 2 and then fly on the right side on the hill and put the commando out. this will work;)

There is exactly 1 position where you can land. Do not go the normal way cause you won't survive on hard.
