SW: Republic Commando (Hard)(

First sub 2 hours in Real time! (1:56:57 IGT)

In one week, I've gone from thinking the run is too hard for me, to thinking it's just unfair. The last run was a 22 second pb, and it was terrible, the game threw everything awful at me. Getting shot randomly when you usually don't, the squad didn't seem to be functioning properly and not always firing at enemies. A grenade hitting a piece of debris that was floating in the air etc.
This time the section that fell apart was during and after Bridge. The explosives didn't hit the turret, I don't know why. But then I should have made sure it did. With the squad dead I had to use all my Greens. I debated if resetting the level would have been better. Then to make things worse, they didn't kill the droids in the next level... so frustrating. Going into the next few levels on low hp was not ideal. And I swear I did the advanced quicksave properly, but it just didn't trigger.

Focusing on the positives. The section from Canyons through Territory was great. Tactical through to Wrath was good too, except in Lockdown for forgetting to set the squad so they didn't cross over the turret trigger, but switching it up to an all out assault worked well enough until 62 and 07 just didn't turn up at the end...maybe they were on break. I'm starting to get used to that happening.

Outposts was also great, considering how bad it's gone the last two times. That was a lucky shot on the missile turret.
If you wanted to know, The death at the start of Frontline is deliberate, you have to walk forward, then in the load screen, press and hold 'look down', mash reload, and then click fire. I have fire set to another key just for this silly trick.
I like the last 3 levels too, because it really was falling apart, but I steadied. I was so confused when the grenade wasn't exploding in the final trick. And I don't know why I thought reloading would make it work, but it did.
