This is the hardest FPS I've ever played

[Doctor TacoChocolate]

I've been playing FPS games since I was a kid and I've never once played one as merciless as this one. Even the first STALKER game is easier than this. Why did they think it was a good idea to have so many things that could just kill you instantly? On easy, this game is harder than the first Quake on its highest difficulty and I just don't see why it needed to be this way. I enjoyed the first couple of levels. It has an interesting premise and it plays well, but I just can't get over how often I get one-shotted.

Have you tried lowering the difficulty setting? Just started playing on Normal and it's pretty hard. Going against snipers required many quicksaves/quickloads, and the miniboss with the grenade launcher.... Dunno how you're supposed to kill him, but after many tries I finally manged to trap him between poison gas grenades. So, um, so far 1st (or is it 2nd?) mission has been very hard but doable.

If you're playing on "realistic", I have no advice.

I'm on easy. The game gets so so so so much harder after a couple levels later than you're describing. On easy it goes from a 3 to a 10 in short order.

Huh, something to "look forward" to I guess.

Beat the game now. While there were lots of "quickload" moments, and I referenced the walkthrough multiple times when I couldn't figure out where to go, that first "brother" in the 2nd mission was by far the hardest encounter for me.

No final boss, ending sucked.

Good job. I guess I'm just awful at it. I gave up on the mission where you have to blow up the tank in the square.

That was one of the times I needed a walkthrough - couldn't figure out where the camp with the mines was.

This is not a hard game, in a hard game you can figure out a way how to progress. Here everyone shoots you 100% accuracy while you cant even hold still a rifle. If enemy use aimbot its not hard, its cheating.

Actually the common soldiers you run into in the hallways have very little accuracy - it's the snipers you need to worry about. Also being prone against a sniper is the worst thing you can do, since then they headshot you every time.

It becomes a trial and error game. Quick save all the time, if you get sniped then you quickload and look for the sniper, when you eventually find the sniper (after several deaths), you can get them before they get you since they work on a slight delay (assuming you have a sniper rifle of your own).

I think they wanted to go for a most realistic feel to it. which is weird since if I remember from when I was a kid, its an alternative ww1 game where ww1 still has yet to end? idk, but im pretty sure they wanted it to show how unforgiving ww1 was.

Yeah very trial and error. almost as hard as the first Farcry but not as fun. Bet on Soldier is a better game, try that.
