Let me just say this about the difficulty : you can NOT use yourself or your friends as the gauge for this. You are expert gamers. You are experts at playing games and are therefore useless as a meter for how difficult your game is.
You have to think about the guy who doesn't play games very often who might be downloading your game. Playing on "Easy" should disgust you with how easy you can win. "Hard" can challenge you and your friends, but "Easy" should be utterly ridiculous in your eyes.
If you make it so, they MIGHT be able to win. Occasionally.
Play UT2003 with "Novice" bots to see what I'm talking about. They run really slow, they hardly shoot back (and when they do, they're wildly inaccurate) ... it hardly seems like they're even playing.
