[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] XHellKnightX [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] abelxcain I think that Halo CE was really much harder than the other games in this saga. Just try to play a mission on Legendary and see it![/quote] You sir, are very incorrect.. You either haven't played the other games on legendary by yourself, or are approaching encounters in a less-than-ideal way.. you see.. I've been playing halo since Halo C.E. was released... I didn't get XBL until January 07'... I played ALLOT of campaign on heroic & legendary until then.. Including three dozen "Legendary Runs" of Halo:C.E... Before the release of H2. In order of difficulty.. Halo 2 >>>>> Halo:Reach> Halo:ODST > Halo: C.E. >>>> Halo 3. Halo 3 is soo easy its lame.. There are a few rough spots.. But I completed legendary in around 10 hours now that I think about it.. On launch day. Halo:ODST is harder just because you play as a ODST and aren't as durable as the M.C... Halo: C.E. can be rough, but once you understand the A.I. & how to approach encounters without over-extending yourself, the game becomes very easy.. Only standout "hard" levels are The Truth & Reconciliation & parts of "The Library" can be rough... Same goes for "Halo" if you run out of sniper ammo. Halo: Reach is much harder due to enemies having BY FAR the best A.I. out of any of the series, there are more of them at once.. You seem to be weaker than most of the games too.. Halo 2 legendary was nuts.. everything has overshields... Insta-kill snipers where you had to memorize there spawning points... H2's legendary wasn't very fun though..[/quote] Ummmmm, if you think ODST is harder than combat evolved, something is wrong with you. Recently, i did a speed run of all the games on Heroic. Keep in mind it's not legendary, but the gap of difficulty for each game should remain the same. I only died 23 times on Heroic in ODST. I almost died 200 times in C.E. On HEROIC. This is how I rank hardest to easiest: Halo C.E >> Halo 2 >> Halo Reach >> Halo 3 >> Halo ODST

legendary is easy plasma pistol + dmr = flawless cowboy

I didn't find Legendary all that hard. It's waaaaaaaaaaaaay easier than Halo 3 legendary. There's no retarded vehicle battles, no flood, the wraiths weren't as hard, there's no instant-kill covenant snipers...

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Spider Wolf 24 I kinda see what you mean, [b]my problem with legendary is that I dont think enough time was put into actually making the game harder (and I say this for ALL FPS halos). Health for enemies was raised and you are weaker.[/b] This made the game at some points ridiculous because the game really wasnt designed for it. However, most of the time it was tolerable. [/quote] Ditto. Using a couple skulls in H2, you could make the game harder but fair, nothing like Legendary.. In Reach.. You can't really do this besides Tough Luck and maybe Catch if you play on Heroic.. Your best bet is to create a custom fire-fight variant, make a custom skull or two, set the difficulty on Heroic or Legendary, and adjust the base player traits to balance out the lack of shield strength. thats what I've done.

I have always enjoyed Halo Legendary, because it does what other games do not, it doesn't just make the enemies tougher, or make more of them, Halo games actually increase the AI of the baddies so you end up having the out-THINK them as well as out-fight them. I think the legendary in Reach is perfect, absolutely spot on. On Halo 2 it was way too easy, on Halo 3 it was pretty much impossible to even get past Sieraa-117 without at least one friend. It took me about 14 hours to finish solo Legendary, the only part i found to be UNFAIR (not too hard, too hard is a challenge, but unfair is no fun) was the very last section of the game where you take the AA turret, it basically comes down to trial and error and you have to memorise what order to shoot the ships in.

I thought it was just right, and I had a blast playing through the campaign. No where near as hard as Halo 2. I'm an 80s generation though; These new age games are cakewalks to old school Nintendo games.

I agree with many comments made here (except for people saying its "easy"), just be patient, and the plasma pistol is a huge help, I found it to be more helpful than power weapons at times because it breaks a shield in one hit, then have follow up with a gun that can get head shots.
-
Don't play it like you normally would. Plasma Pistol and & Pistol are your best friends and you need to play it checkpoint to checkpoint.
-
EASY. Just time consuming. It's called perseverance. Took me 10 hours
-
Sorry I meant to reply and accidentally reported you. Mods, he did nothing wrong, I just slipped when trying to click on cancel and ended up completing the report. On topic. I am about average at the game and I was able to beat it on Legendary so it is definitely not overdone.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] XHellKnightX [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] C359 I'd like to see you use that mantra on a hunter or two. "Oh hey, I have no heavy weapons or nades to get you hunters!" *hunters laugh then proceed to bend you over*[/quote] actually.. yeah, hunters are pretty scary in Reach. To the point where it's like "Hunters? oh sh**!".. Providing you don't have the right weapons. . It only took Bungie like 4 games to get them right.. [/quote] i was okay with them taking away the instant deaths from the sniper rifle or the pistol but i hated that they took away melee damage. that's how i fought hunters in CE when i didn't have a pistol loved that dance...
-
It really wasn't THAT hard. I got it done in around 8-9 hours.
-
It wasn't that difficult.

Its not that bad. Its hard, but I still managed to beat it in less than 9 hours total. Now you know what was bad? Halo 2's Legendary. Sweet motherof mercy, that made me cry a couple times. You fight a damn Sword Zealot in the second encounter on the first damn level, and he has backup of like 4/5 other high ranking Elites and Grunts, not like the lone Zealot from Winter Contingency.
-
Legendary isn't that difficult, just don't expect emile to do much on the last level... idiot thinks his shotgun is a sniper rifle the way he fires it.
-
Everyone's different and everything's relative of course, but I would rate Legendary Reach as very easy, and I'm maybe a slightly above-average player. Compared with Halo 2 it's a walk in the park because there are very few enemies that can instakill you, your shield is very forgiving, and the checkpoint system is incredibly generous. Also, compared with other FPSs it's very easy. COD veteran mode is at least 3X as difficult. The main strategy is if you keep dying in the same place, don't repeat, try something different.
-
It's hard if you try to play it like you would Easy or Normal. There is a lot more strategy involved with Legendary. For the seasoned veterans, it shouldn't have been unmanageable. Challenging, maybe, but not Halo 2 difficult.
-
i guess i played waaay to much halo 1 back in the day. i really think it was pretty easy. never even play very serious doing it i wonder how differen't our play styles must be that some of you would think it the most challenging. for me, hardest to easiest (solo) halo2 reach halo3 odst halo i play a little rambo-ish [Edited on 10.21.2010 10:56 AM PDT]

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] StaroceanZero [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TiE2000 Halo 2, was tough. Reach... meh. Pretty easy once you get your stradagy down... Remember DMR + Plasma Pistol = cake walk.[/quote][/quote] I'd like to see you use that mantra on a hunter or two.

Thisthis. Hardest difficulty in a game is supposed to be hard. [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TES Christian Nope. I thought that it was just like any other 'hard' difficulty on a game. Takes some time, but you'll eventually prevail. I beat it in 9 hours. [/quote] Lol [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Maslab *divides tactics by strategy* *hair catches fire* *runs around screaming before dunking his head in a vat of water* I think you broke the maths.[/quote]

I frankly don't find it hard at all, but there are plenty of very frustrating parts. The end of exodus where you need to turn on those missiles or whatever pissed me off for a while.
