Yes, I agree. Given the way I play, this level has one of the hardest beginnings.
: It's a pretty
: straight-forward level, but it has hellish fights and numerous ambushes.
Unfortunately in M1 you cannot lock the bridges in the up position. Just to be sure, I double-checked this a few minutes ago. Back when I was playing Trojan, that was the one of the first things I tested before proceeding to the other side. As a result, I found the other side to be one of the hardest sections in the scenario.
: There is one major difference I've found between the M1 and M2/AO versions
: - there are two parallel bridges activated by lobbing grenades to switches
: across the way. In the M1 version, these bridges raise up for a brief
: time, and then return into the lava. In the M2/AO version, the bridges
: stay up, making the level tremendously easier since the player can then
: return to the PB's and recharger at any time. I haven't checked this, but
: I think the M1 bridges can be locked in the up position, but this requires
: firing aditional grenades.
