Outbreak – Brutal Difficulty
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
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 [...]
Cutthroat – Brutal

On Brutal difficulty, the opponent goes much faster. Not too fast though, start off by building a few Medics to support [...]

Smash and Grab – Brutal Difficulty
In Smash and Grab you have about 20 minutes to reach the Artifact on the east side of the map.

There is one located just [...]
