The case could easily be made to replace "the general public's" with "TNL's" in your comment. Not trying to dispute your assessment of the game as I will be picking this up today myself.

Melf,
Which difficulty are you playing on? I'd recommend taking either a shotgun or even the flame thrower with you since those nest missions are in rather close quaters. Do not allow yourself to get surrounded. Sounds obvious I know, but make that your priority. Do not rely on your squad as they are just cannon fodder pretty much. Try to take any spiders first as they are the most dangerous.
If all else fails, go back to the earlier levels and collect some Armor. The missions only get more hectic from here on out.
Just finished the last mission on Normal.
It's a good game, but there really is too much stuff missing from EDF2. Pill bugs, centipedes, pale wing, a bit more level variety... I do like the weapons more, and the new enemies are rare but neat. It's probably better than EDF2, but not by a whole lot.
Well, I've given TNL's recommendations a shot in the past and been generally happy with how it's turned out, for the most part. Listening to a small internet community where you know almost everyone, and can mentally edit for personal taste, makes more sense to me than listening to the general public, who've never even heard of this game in the first place.
For another example of this at work, check out Puzzle Quest. Great game, flies completely under the public's radar. Of course, on the other end of the spectrum you get Killer 7 and P.N.03, which aren't really for everyone.

I beat it on normal. I got 75 of the weapons and it took about 6 hours (that includes time spent in the menu and just a few deaths/restarts). Cool stuff.
I think I will play a few levels a day and try to get 100% clear and find all the weapons. It's a good game in short bursts. Probably take half an hour to do 3 or 4 missions.
Well Joust likes it, you can't go wrong with that. :lol:

This game is completely insane. I like it.
