Level 2? Hah, in Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal I don't think I ever beat mission 2 without cheating, back in the '90s... I remember skipping it (with cheat code) and managing to beat missions 3-5 or something on the human side before giving up from how crazy hard it got, but yeah, never beat mission 2.
Of the other Blizzard RTSes, I did beat both WC1 campaigns back in '95-96. That game actually gets easier near the end thanks to the summons. I did beat Starcraft too, but it took a while, I was stuck on the last mission for a long time. Brood War though, I never finished the final Protoss mission without cheating, or the last few Zerg missions either. The only campaign I actually beat legit was the Terran one, which actually came after the Protoss... WC3 though I beat because it was easy, but I never actually finished The Frozen Throne; it was also easy, but I'd just lost interest in WC3/TFT's single player mode. It wasn't nearly as good as SC's, or WC3's online play. I beat the first campaign, the Night Elf one, eventually, but I think I'm still in the RPG-ish Orc campaign.
As for the Turok games, I've only owned them for a few years now so they aren't games I haven't finished for a long, long time like this game, but yeah, I haven't beaten any of them either. Turok 2 is way too hard, it's a great game but the checkpoints are extremely far apart, you have limited lives, the enemies are hard and there are lots of them, and more. I ground to a halt at some point where I had almost no health left and a really hard segment in front of me.
Turoks 1 and 3 are easier games though, as far as I got, I should be able to get farther in those at least. :) I am somewhat bad at FPSes, though, of coursem and it's not a genre I love or play a lot. That certainly doesn't help with any of these, as good as they are (and they are very good games).
