Psalm 32:10

Many are the woes of the wicked,
but the LORD's unfailing love
surrounds the man who trusts in him.

Halop0wner23 said it does. Verify please. Is there anything even close to a survival mode on the game?

What about "The Maw on Legendary" ? Anyways.. go download Halo CE and check out www.halomaps.org , there are some close to survival-mode maps i believe.

Then he's a retarded lying son-of-a-dumbass who doesn't know wtf he's talking about. This is Halo, not some zombie shooter.

No, there is nothing in this game that resembles a "Survival Mode" whatsoever. Unless you want to play the Library on Legendary.

Pretty much any Flood levels (preferabally The Library level) on Legendary is Survival Mode. Have fun, and come back to confirm you freakin' survived.

The Library on Legendary is way harder than The Maw on Legendary.


Agreed. In The Maw, at least you can watch the Covies and the Floods duke it out, and you can mop up the winners, and corpse hump the losers. =P

No, the maw is prety esey on legendary. But I agree that Keys was very hard. But I'm not sure about Library, since I hate it and I haven't even tried it on legendary.

Most dificult to me:

1. Keys
2. AotCR
3. SC
4. T&R
5. 343GS
6. Halo
7. PoA
8. Teh Mawzors

Note: these are the levels I can remember playing on legendary. I think I've played Two Betrayals on legendary, but I don't remember how hard it was.

BTW, what are the two betrayals? I know one of them is the sentinels and 343GS turning on you, but what's the other one?

Honestly, I don't see why everyone views the Library, even on Legendary, as such a difficult level. If anything, it's the easiest level ever, mostly because of the sheer stupidity of the Flood AI. No tricks, no suprises, just en-masse, straightforward attacking. No ducking or covering or throwing nades like the Covie AI, but sheer overwhelming numbers.

Many people believe that to beat Legendary, you've gotta make mincemeat out of every NPC that pops up on screen. They write up all those guides on how to beat The Library, but none of them are effective mostly because they focus on destroying everything on the screen.

On the contrary, it's just easier to simply run right through certain parts, guns ablaze than it is to stick around and actually fight. Grab a shottie, a pistol and you're all set.

Another interesting thing about the AI is that they don't attack unless you're within their range of view, obviously. They also clump together near their spawn points. Using these two facts, then, when you're trapped in the two rooms, for instance, you can hide behind a pillar on the far side, close to the spawn shafts. Wait a while for ALL the flood to appear, then shoot two rockets...it'll effectively wipe out most if not all of them.

As for the flood in numbers, it's easier if you get them to trickle right into your shotgun one by one. Ironically, the library's got all those nice corners to work around and the flood just come straight forward one by one right into your waiting shotgun.

Then again, I'm also one of the people who figured out VALVe's clever little Prison-Turret uber-standoff in Half Life 2. In short, I overanalyze game AI.

I refuse to believe you found the silent cartographer difficult on legendary, i completed it in like 6 minutes.

Maybe a change of technique?

Actually, now that I think of it, the Library isn't that hard at all. Even on Legendary. It's just so God damned boring that we tend to get "boring" mixed up with "challenging".

By the way, the Maw is pretty easy on Legendary.

Yeah, the maw is the same on all difficulties IMO, since you enver really die, the foold, sentinels and covenant always just kill eachother. Some cool black elites though.

Then y'all haven't played with the CMT campaign maps. Legendary is close to imposible to beat. Heroic is just like regular Halo legendary. But anyways, yea you can download maps, singleplayer or multiplayer, as a 'survival mode' with AI in it. Just go to halomaps.org just like Malolo117 said.
