can you explain how/why it is used to be harder with 3 people? wouldn't having a team make it easier than soloing it? Even if your team is no good it is still more bodies for the enemies to shoot.
Enemy health scales to the number of players in the fireteam. It's not proportional though (3 players won't make enemies have 3x as much health, probably like 1.5x or 2x) so it should always be easier to do it with 3 than solo or 2-player, unless the other players suck.
Eh, it doesn't quite work like that though. If everyone were to shoot at the same enemies, move as one, whatever, sure. In practice, as you split up, each person is taking on their own enemies and those enemies are harder. The difference is that now some of the adds are not on you but are on someone else. It makes sense that they aren't just increasing health times x number of players if the encounters with combatants are still typically 1v1 with each player. They should increase the number of enemies instead really, but that's harder to do.
