How Hard Is Ultimate Badass?

How difficult is it solo?

Every alien focuses on you. Every PMC aims at you. Your weapons have no crosshairs (I recommend attaching lasers to weapons wherever possible).
Lurkers seem to only be interested in you, they are idiotic fast, they can take multiple rounds without fatal damage, and they almost always come in three's. You WILL learn how to use tactical weapons (claymores, prox grenades) if you want to survive.
You can't expect any assistance in tight spots. O'Neal's smartgun isn't all that smart- he seems to shoot constantly but not very effectively; plus, he frequently gets mobbed by aliens, leaving you to deal with your own plus his.
Other than that, it's just another day in the Corps.

I decided to play on the second hardest instead as I want my HUD. Thanks anyways!
