why is normal so hard?

Like playing on normal is easy, untill you get to the last defence that every map have.
when you get x2000 special alien spawning on the same time.

It's a horde shooter, it's just overwhelming at times, especially when you first start out. Multiplayer really controls it though, but the bots are 50/50 in those moments.

Focus Fire the specials. Also what helps alot dealing with almost every stage, but esspecially when you are having trouble use some consumables. like turrets and fire or elektro ammunition. Heavys often prefer to attack turrets before players. Also when a heavy comes after you use ur dodge roll mechanics... its a bit of a timing thing. A Second before a big one is attacking you either do one dodgeroll towards him (forward) or do 1 roll to left /right/behind you. And add a second roll away from the enemy. You Have up to three rolls at full stamina. So use it. Its also possible to dodge fodder and drones with it. It depends on the space you have aviable... and never box yourself into a corner... always leave some room where you can roll too. If you and ur allies shoot together on the special aliens it should be doable. Also try to go for headshots/weakpoints. Marked with a yellow hitmarker and a weakpoint sound.

you are kidding right ? you could even let the bot do their thing and they will make it through at normal and often at intense to.

its a thing to say you are bad at the game but dont try to make a statement saying the game is too hard at normal cause its not.

If you're too slow to do the objectives, the game will overwhelm you. This is by design. Clear objectives ASAP.

Of course this is not a problem if you are way OP like most folks here are. ;)

HAHAHHAHAHAHHAHHA .... kids nowdays find even easy difficult. I played the game for first time and completed it on standard and only died once, it was on the mission with android and I had total n00b teammates, otherwise it was easy. You just have no tactics or skills. I can already see how you play "RUUUUSHHHHHH" without listening to anything. 99% of players I see, they always rush into ambushes and have no tactical thinking whatsoever (like where to put defence items, when to fight, when to run, where to make your stand ..etc).

Intense difficulty is also easy, extreme and intense is where it is starting to get hard due the lack of ammo and medkits, otherwise it's still easy. Just learn to play and stop crying... accept the fact that you're bad and need LOT of practice (and most likely brain implant to get you above 60 IQ)

Always nice to see a vet who rather than offer advice just screams ‘GET GUD SCRUB’ at struggling players.

Team compo really makes a difference, i had matches where we didnt have any demo or tech and the runners started to become a bigger problem than the elites.

If your playing on standard with no friendly fire throw down some mines at your feet and behind you.

save turrets and use them for the grand final. the first wave isn't that hard, xenos come side to side keep track of their spawn with the mention detector.
and for the second and third wave use lot of turret. if you want there 2 normal sentries from the first mission of the first campaign. and if you have no choice buy them, fire turrets are really effective for this waves. if i remind correctly the game give you 2 fire turrets during the mission save them.

and a tips put them on barricade not on the floor, so acid blood on floor won't affect them.

So, difficulty entirely depends on your set-up and gear (assuming you are playing like a pro to begin with, noobs need to get good) You should only fail normal difficulty a time or two while playing thru the whole campaign. I have most classes max level and half the guns max level. Intense difficulty is what I play now. Intense difficulty is supposed to be the base normal way of playing the game, as it's description says. Basically, don't jump to intense+ until you are absolutely slaying everything on normal. If you are having trouble on normal..... Get good and use better perks/weapons/attachments.

Everybody thinks they need an award for just showing up. Defeating difficult things builds character. Winning because it was designed to let you win fosters the worst traits in people.
