In Response To: don't forget Marathon: RED (Admiral Tfear)

: Ian McConville's Marathon: RED is another great scenario. It's damned
: hard, like Rubicon . . .

Damn hard, like Rubicon???? Granted, it's been quite a while since I played Red and I'm much more skilled, now, but I couldn't get beyond the first level on "Deathwish", and couldn't finish the final level on "Normal" in Red. By comparison, Rubicon was a snap - I've played both planks through multiple times on TC, including the secret levels. OK, I took the shortcut in "Hell Pfhor You", but I Pushed Cows, survived the White Room, Blasted Cherries and Drank Vitrol, and lived to tell about it. You can read all about it in my Rubicon Secrets Guide.

Is there something I'm missing here? I'll be the first to admit that Marathon Red is a truly great scenario with one of the greatest tricks in the entire Marathon Universe (changing sides), but it's devilishly difficult. Is there a trick to getting through other than throttling back the difficulty level?
