The StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty single-player campaign is more than just a continuation of a legacy. It also offers new and veteran players alike the opportunity to challenge themselves, while learning the mechanics at their own pace. 

When starting a new campaign, players choose a starting difficulty:

Casual: You have little or no experience playing strategy games.

Normal: You have some experience playing strategy games.

Hard: Only choose Hard if you are a StarCraft veteran.

Brutal: Only choose Brutal if you’re a StarCraft expert.

Don't worry, you're never locked into a difficulty setting. Prior to taking on a new mission, players are given the opportunity to adjust the difficulty. Whether you want to tone down a difficult mission or crank things up to see what you’re made of, it's up to you.

Players who feel that their skills have improved can access missions they’ve completed on the command console on the bridge of the Hyperion and replay them at a different difficulty setting. In many cases, Achievements can be earned for playing missions in either Normal or Hard difficulty.

The campaign can be experienced in many different ways. For some, playing on Casual difficulty is about experiencing the story the first time through and then going back to replay on a more difficult setting. For others, nothing less than Brutal difficulty will do. 

There’s no one way or best way -- just your way.  How have you decided to take on the single-player campaign?

For those looking to take on Brutal difficulty, Alleji's guide has a few helpful tips for taking on some of the more challenging missions.
