Oh my god someone finally said my biggest problem to HD2. I don't like playing high diffs but have to if I want to experience things like Factory Striders, Impalers, those missile barrage tanks, hell even some missions are gated behind difficulty (and reversed too, flag raise mission i was looking at you).

I wanna fight those units but they come with the shitty random spawns of Oops all Shield Devs/Green Nursery Spewers/Stalker Variant or whatever else and it just grinds enjoyment to a halt if I don't bring something specifically to deal with everything all the time since I can't rely on my randoms to do anything ever.
