Is it one particular spot that is stopping you, or just the whole level?
My first suggestion would be to shoot the enemies in the face.

You want me to ditch kb/m?

Is it as tough as you remember? Does it truly make baby Jesus weep tears of blood? Inquiring minds want to know!
What's the breakdown like for the two Q2 mission packs? I know there are new enemies, but are there new weapons and the like? And is everything still brown?

Are you circle-strafing properly, just like I taught you to do?

Shotgun, double shotgun, nailgun, rocket launcher. I use the rockets on those dudes in the water who don't seem to die unless you blow them up. And then switch 'tween shotguns and nailgun (love dat nailgun) for everything else. I found that in this level most of the enemies get so close to you that trying to rocket launch 'em is dangerous. I died plenty of times by my own rocket.Are you circle-strafing properly, just like I taught you to do?
Not well. Circle-strafing feels so much easier to me with an analog stick. So mostly I'm doing the shoot then strafe left/right to avoid projectiles thing. Or the shoot while running away backwards thing.

Also, how high is your mouse sensitivity? If it's not maxed out, you're doing it wrong. You need to be able to whip around pretty quick and keep up or go faster than moving targets so you can learn to lead them properly with projectiles. Everyone I know who plays kb+m boosts their sensitivity to near the max in just about everything.
