Questions for Russian players

[Zhuangzi]

One more question for you Russian guys...

I am thinking of playing the game on Hard straight away. I never do this - always play on Medium and then move up to Hard for subsequent games - but I like a challenge. By challenge, I *don't* mean I want to have to reload every 5 minutes. So, is Hard really hard in this game? In the demo, Hard seems like a fair challenge.

My download is at 57% now. Another eight hours and it'll be done.

Luckily I have to go to work in two hours so I wouldn't have been able to play until later anyway...
