Outbreak – Brutal Difficulty

Posted by admin on September 10, 2010 at 7:45 am

In Outbreak, your mission is to defend your base from a large swarm of infested terran during the night and destroy undefended structures during the day. The biggest difference in Brutal is that the enemies hit harder and the days are shorter. If you have problems with this mission, complete The Dig mission first, which [...]

Evacuation – Brutal Difficulty

Posted by admin on September 8, 2010 at 10:18 pm

In this mission, it’s critical to maintain the 3 choke points with at least two loaded bunkers and SCVs to back them up. Firebats work fine in the bunkers and 2 Firebats cost the same minerals as 4 Marines.  I used a combination to keep Overlords from causing problems and still keeping a good anti-Zerg [...]

In the Cutthroat Mission, you have to race around the map with a small army collecting scraps before your opponents. The first of you to reach 8,000 minerals wins the contract and the mission.

During the Zero Hour mission you will have to protect yourself and the artifact for 20 minutes. You’ll notice that because this is hard difficulty it will only take 14-15 minutes to complete this mission while the timer at the end will still say 20 minutes and 12 seconds. This is because of the fastest [...]
