Nope. Alpha just keeps getting hit in the face with a difficulty stick.

The oldest version of Alpha I recall was like this: All Minis from sec team started with team, held mil base for hordes up until Charlie goes crazy. Charlie ran around the mil base until found. Retreat to bridge to form a choke point for agrons. Pound with FOs, DPS down demeter. Demeter didnt have cocoons, just her stun, face opposite direction to avoid. Minis did not level, so players were lvl 6-7 by Demeter. Then you looted map, did seth, ect. Cronus was a giant purple zombie called Barney. I'm serious. He had 1.2-3k hp, and couldnt die while on creep. Besides that he had youngling and a 70~ damage melee. He did revive twice. After Barney was farm city. Team just let fos pound down hordes. No protecting tanaka. Then gas sequence. Team only had to regroup for cerberus, no find tanaka bs. Cerb really hasnt changed since ever. After Cerb gas was over. Perses came, he had stupid ai and no firewave. You pounded him with skills and used fo minis to tank him. After Perses Ivax showed up and was rigged as hell. You tossed fo minis, nukes, stingers, everything basically at him. All he had for skills were mines, cloak, gunship dots, and his slow-on-hit. As long as you stayed out of gun range, you were fine.
