mw4: mercs.
don't remember if i posted this but i completed the "steiner path" the 2nd time, on regular difficulty. the hacker run mission hanged on me a few times and i got killed once. the defenders seem to be harder to lure out on this difficulty. found out that as long as i stay outside of the walls, i could shoot down 2 of the assault mecs without activating them. the light mecs seem to spawn out of nowhere. and while i was outside the boundary of the fortress, i could destroy the helicopters hiding at the edge of the map before they lift off. the turrets also have trouble detecting me when i move in with my radar off. once i turn on my radar within their range, they still can't detect me! this way, i could took out most of the turrets and helicopters, before moving deeper in. running away after the hack was still somewhat dangerous as multiple mecs would literally pop out from the ground in front of the fortress, but i made it without much damage.

later, i chose the "rogue" final mission. the alternative ending/mission; fighting to join the clans just to save some ursurper with no money to pay me, sounds like a mission no merc with half a brain would take. i probably could have beaten the rogue mission with all my mecs intact, if i used assault mecs only, and slowly sweep thru all the areas until everything's blown up. instead, i sat back with my personal lance of a fafnir and 2 hauptmans, and ordered the heavy lance to do most of the work until they got blown up. then i ran behind the dropship and waited for some of the enemies to waste ammo shooting at it. most of the enemies had trouble finding their way around the walls surrounding the dropship, so i could have jumpsniped them to death if i had plioted a victor or glady. couldn't do that while using an atlas, so i surprised them by flanking them , running behind a ridge before attacking.
