Maybe because you’re often very offensive?
I also reload or restart missions, not very often but I do, and no one on this forum ever flamed me about that …
This ^^
Probably on veteran, the 2nd difficulty, also a bit more forgiving. Even after the last patch sometimes it get ridiculous hard after solving some missions to good.
I’m trying on hard the last times and it is really harder than veteran. No idea what legend will bring, but at the moment it feels right for me on hard.
Unfortunately, it is simply the case that even absolute tactics beginners sometimes find it embarrassing to play on EASY. It is then misinterpreted and avoided as a “LOOSER” level of difficulty. However, this behavior is not atypical …
Before I started writing here, I was a pure “reader” for several months. I am also not a native English speaker. I remember that most of those who complained about the level of difficulty played on “Veteran” and some even played on “Hero”.
I am not saying that the complaints had no justification. Strictly speaking, both the player and the enemy side have “unfair” tools that can be frustrating. Against frustration it also helps to try the EASY mode 
yeah your right I am very offensive, I am just a cranky old man…
the lock down is doing my head in now, but I was not very sociable before that either your right! I guess I could work on that…
I am playing on rookie… I don’t care if anyone thinks its a “looser” level…
I generally start all new games on easy to get the feel and then work my way up from there. This is however, getting there, it has improved a lot, the acid is still on super stupid right now, I was in a ambush map and had 3 rounds to go my team got splashed and in two round all dead, so I knew it was all over… That is just crazy and not fun. If I see an acid carrier I do everything to make sue it dies before its in range which takes from the tactics somewhat, but those long range acid shooters are the worst, basically make the map unplayable as you can’t get away from it, that needs to stop. I do hope they adjust this in the next patch, the sad part is they KNEW about this acid issue before the last patch and ignored it? Not sure why they did that… anyway we will see…
I forced to use save and load cause one random shot from acid Chiron can kill half main squad. After that you will be near loosing all campaign. And it’s not my mistake or wrong tactic - just shirty game mechanic.
I agree, which is why I keep calling for it - and other stupidly OP Panda mechanics to be nerfed: A new look at a fair RB?
As I say, I don’t object to you S&Ring if you want to. Nothing wrong with that. It’s just not the way I personally like to play, is all.
Save scumming is a wonderful thing when you have a game such as PP that will kill you off unfairly.
Never necessary when a game were you die by your own fault is involved, but totally necessary when there are unfair and very silly mechanics in a game that kill the player just for the hell of it. Unfortunately PP has more than it’s fair share of this s***.
This has hit the nail right on the head!! This IS the only game I “panic” save… Because you can through no fault of your own just fall prey to the psychopathic killing AI and the supper powered acid… Balance that and I would probably never reload during the game unless it crashed.
They need to save this s*** for expert level.
