Or give yourself maybe ten reloads within a campaign or 5 maybe after you finished the game one or two or three times and before you start real ironman. if it goes south you start the mission again. Better to restart a whole misssion and play it through. But once youre more familiar with the enmies, the missions, the most dangerous threats out there and how to avoid it then youll get a ton more excitement out of ironman runs.īut even when you just start the game, play your first campaign, I wouldnt reload within missions. Youll just get angry if you get owned 80 % of the time. Its not enjoyable if you get owned all the time and then you get frustrated and then the game aint fun anymore. Then you could try a commander ironman run after that. Of course its completly fine and not cheating to reload, in fact Id advise against any ironman runs before you havent finished the game on veteran and commander.
