I know a lot of people feel it's cruel to call Beginner Beginner, simply because this game is, in general, hard for a lot of people who start it from other games thinking they are going to go out and solo Scrakes with M9s and headshots.

Perhaps the difficulties should be named in methods more appropriate to the genre.

Incident
Crisis
Escalation
Disaster

Incident - News reports are sketchy at this point, but police spokesmen are confirming that an isolated incident of unknown origin has appeared and are confident that in can be quickly dispatched.

Crisis - Horzine's experiments have escaped the quarantine zone and are slowly spreading from their initial source. The military is cautiously confident that they can secure this crisis now that they have permission to use military hardware.

Escalation - Continued efforts to stop these "ZEDS" appear to have been fruitless, though the military continues to maintain it will be able to bring the situation under control. Due to the escalation of ZED appearances throughout the country, military forces are becoming stretched thin.

Disaster - Chaos has broken loose as the military has acknowledged it no longer has the ability to maintain any sort of control in protecting the country. It has already placed a formal request to ask for assistance from other countries in view of the greatest disaster to feast London since the Bubonic Plague.

Also, you got ICED.
 
Well, let me give those a shot:
1. Testing Zone - Army caught remains of specimens and sent beginner soldiers to fight those beasts.
2. Failure - The test subjects escaped, but army kept tracks on them. Now they sent soldiers to fight them to stop spreading the harvest.
3. Outbreak - Now the specimens got out of control. Army is forced to send their best soldiers
4. Apocalypse - Even army couldn't stop specimens. Now only a few, who really love wars, fights and guts' smell in the air are coming in the death zone to kill some and try to pick on their maker.
