To be fair, Annual and Classic weren't exactly [i]easy[/i]. They were nothing compared to Endure, but they still did offer a bit of a challenge. Classic maybe less so, but still.

I found Annual pretty easy. Using the Brute Shot, you could skip practically the whole tower section and from there the rest of the level is a complete walk in the park. Classic could be done in 4 minutes on the level Uplift Reserve by just boosting through the whole thing in a Ghost/Chopper. Endure and Deja Vu are the hardest. The former requires a good team who stick with their differentiated roles, understanding of map control, and a decent internet connection to make sure somebody doesn't disconnect. The latter I did once and swore never to even help somebody do again because it took almost 2 hours to get through that bloody level, even with the Rocket Launchers.

I ended up skipping the tower too for Annual, but at some point someone always ended up dying, so I don't think it was something you just do in a couple of minutes and be done with. Classic was fairly easy if you knew the about the Uplift Reserve thing, but it still wasn't a complete walk in the park. Endure and Deja Vu were definitely difficult. Mind you, I don't think Endure specifically required understanding of map control or specific roles. I think it was the easiest on Lost Platoon because you had the vehicles. Additionally, there is a location on the map my friend found where you could hide one player without enemies being able to reach them. We ended up doing it with three real players and one just giving us free lives. After that I've thought that you could probably do it fairly easily alone if you had two Xboxes and you just hid three players in that location and then just took yourself a Chopper. Deja Vu was the real pain in the ass because it's the only one where there aren't any tricks that I know of. I just remember that we were all exhausted and frustrated, one of us almost quit altogether. Endure was definitely a challenge, but Deja Vu was just torture.
