When I just started into CC I thought this is hard and requires skill; Now I play everyday as my daily dosage as FUN (Dwarf fortress terms) slaughtering AAL zombots SAW other crazy stuff on skirmish in my freetime, And doing everything with a limit ingame to make it harder :???:

EDIT:Well to be honest X3 Terran conflict IS HARDER THEN CC But I'm still learning how the heck to play that game and all, Also dragonXP I never use mods for brutality areas I only use vanilla when I want a challenge the other term for mods is mildly bored or want to have AAL+ZOMBOTS+SAW+AQUANUATS busting down my bunker to kill my coalition lights desperately defending.

TBH I've always liked my games hard and have never really found CC to be very difficult.

CC is far more generous than many other games. It doesn't explain itself all that well, but the basic concepts should be familiar to anyone who plays many 2d games.

I've been playing games since I was a kid. I'm always looking for some form of challenge and I suppose over the course of ~9 years or so I've ramped up a tolerance to difficulty, so the games I enjoy have been getting continuously more difficult. I kind of enjoy a steep learning curve because I find it satisfying to climb to the top.
Also see: number of people on other forums complaining about Prelude's difficulty.

So, yes, I like it hard. So does my girlfriend. Not even kidding.

@Paul: CC has a good emergent thing going. Once you know what you're doing and have the hang of moving around without the ability to run convincingly I completely agree.

Actually, i found this game to be one of the more easy games i've played.
Mostly because of the dumb ai. When I'm playing campaign, I don't 'cheat' with mod factions or anything, and for added challenge, i try to beat it with something hard, like the undead faction for example. [to this date, i've only successfully defeated Dummy assault with the undead once.]

The only times CC was ever remotely challenging was that assassination mission a build or two back, and trying to beat Zombie Cave with default guy without taking damage or abusing jetpack too much (it's really easy if you just swoop in and out), while also breaking all of the generators, and killing all the guys.

The only way CC is really challenging is if you impose challenges on yourself. Beat a mission with one Ronin actor and a shotgun, etc, etc.

Not the Vanilla shotgun of course.

Lol I used to snipe with that thing, back in B18. Did they even change it from the build transitions 18 to 24?

Hard games are the fun ones.
I've kinda stopped playing CC, as I've run out of challenges (without it getting repetitive).
The games I've been spending my time with are the Touhou Project series, a "bullet hell" type of 2D shmup.
Got addicted to those years ago.
They've been described as being for "insane masochists," however I would not say that CC is anything like the cause for my addition to them.

I play contra and monster hunter, so im used to difficult games.

that said, I think cc's pretty easy unless you self-challenge.

You ain't wrong there. I don't play it because i'm stuck. I know, noobish.

I don't play CC because of difficulty, if you've tried weegee's scenes you'll know CC has the ability to be quite difficult, if not impossible. At the same time, it can be extremely easy. It all depends on what you use.

Try Space Empires 5, if you like hard. But that hardly qualifies as a game, More of a spreadsheet disguised as a game.

If anything, I have become a sadist... I like to impose pain on the poor, poor fleshies in CC very much... everything from placing bombs inside their heads to dropping them off cliffs... its fun :D
