How hard is hard out of 10?

 

[Reaktor4]

1-7 depending on how much you use quicksave.
edit: its probably more like 1-4, actually.

 

[Lahire149]

it's not that bad

 

[Black Mesa corp]

Is there a short cut hotkey that allows me to auto save?

 

[Lahire149]

F6...you can edit it if you want, i personally like F5

On the most part it's not very hard - you just have to be more careful.

I found that the parts that really matter are the big battles - nova prospekt's couple... the 2 gunships and turret setups. They take the most out of you... the rest isn't very hard. Just be smart.

You should play it all the way through o nthat skill though. It's great fun.

The Combine are a lot more of a challenge (though still, you cut them down by their hundreds), all enemies are tougher, you take more damage, health and armour stations give you lots less.

yeah you take more hits on hard whilst the combine are harder
