Very Hard
Greater number of guards
Greater number of cameras
Available ammo pickups are greatly reduced
You have 2 ration capacity to start, 3 after Owl, 4 after Havoc (Normal maxes at 5)
There is no body armor in Stage 08
1)
Most of the bosses have a special addition that make them harder
The Hawk flies faster
Marionette Owl's Dolls heal him if shot
Pyro Bison has a new attack
Havoc can fire double the missiles
BAV1 seems to be the same
MG Gander shoots while walking, Nikita don't spawn during fight
BAV2 will two shot you, on Normal it takes three

this difficulty really doesn't care about your feelings
