First that took away both "Hardened" and "Veteran" difficulty levels in Squads Wargame with absolutely no explanation. Now there is no more "Recruit" either, giving us only ONE difficulty level -- "Regular." Players of this game span a wide range of skill levels, so how can they possibly only offer ONE level for EVERYBODY? What's the thinking behind this?
I don't personally prefer "Recruit" myself, but I know people that do since they don't play that much, and they find the "Regular" mode too frustrating. I'm okay playing at the "Regular" level, but I used to enjoy playing on Hardened or even Veteran sometimes as well. This means that none of us -- neither the higher or lower skill level players -- can really play the game on the difficulty level that suits us.
If anyone at IW/Activision is listening, PLEASE return the difficulty choices in Squads Wargame so that we can tailor the matches to our skill levels. All you're doing with the removal of this choice is to make the game fun to a much smaller cross section of players. It makes sense to remove the choices from Assault mode since these matches are tracked on the leaderboards, but Squads Wargame games do NOT count on the leaderboards, so what is the up side to offering NO choices (let alone only TWO choice) when playing Wargame?
Thanks.
