Ok, so I passed the game in Normal mode the first two days I had it right. Of course I was eager to see what Legendary mode was like. In Halo: Combat Evolved, the Legendary mode was fairly tough but not IMPOSSIBLE. If you seriously are a true hardcore gamer, Legendary mode is your ticket. Man, that first level was maybe the hardest thing I have done in a video game in a long while. After many, many, MANY trys I finally sent the covenant back their bomb... wow. It actually felt like I had acomplished something in the game. I felt AWESOME. S o then I moved into the city of course, and Cortana said something diffirent to me, "Blink if you can here me Chief", instead of "Hey snap out of it". Legendary mode on this level was insane... SNIPERS. Watch out for them SNIPERS in Legendary mode. INSANE! I got the biggest chill ever in this game, that one hallway in the city with the lights flickering.. in Legendary mode the Elite goes, " Hold ground, I will have a look".. I was hiding in the darkness as he walked by and I stuck him, he started freaking out and the Grunts go "We are dead dude" or something "RUN!', I felt so awesome.. man this game is the BLAM!
Anyways, Legendary mode is the only way to play this game! I should have it passed on Legendary mode in like a month maybe.. lol. Give me some of your experiences and thoughts on your encounters with Legendary mode.

I'm almost done with heroic, but thats as hard as Legendary in Halo, so I don't know when I'll dare play Legendary, maybe co-op sometime.

I've been stuck on Cario Station's second boarding area for a long time now. so long I don't want to say because it's embarassing. but eh. how did you beat it? any suggestions? stockpiling grenades helps a bit and I can get them down to maybe two or three elites. but then those two or three kill me. so blah.

[color=yellow] Heh, I beat the game 2 days after november 9th. I beat it on Heroic, but i noticed that its very hard to kill the enemy if yer playing on easy. You'll surivive no doubt, but you have to keep shooting the same enemy longer than playing on normal or heroic.
Thus the wise words: "If you play on easy you will survive longer, but killing is almost impossible, if you play on normal or heroic you will survive temporary but kills are easier" make sence? Also, any 1 here think, it was hella short? [/color]

I feel the same way as the first guy. I beat normal in two days, then I messed around on heroic, just beating the first four levels and the last one. I tried to get the foundations level, but gave up (btw, how do you get it?). So then i tried the last level on legendary,a nd after 2 hours i got to the banshees part, and got stuck on the last two wraiths and like a million banshees. I can beat the wraiths easily, but the -blam!-in banshees kept destroying me, so I gave up. So today i finally decided to beat the whole game in legendary, and -blam!-. Dude, it took me 3 hours to beat he first level, and when the cinematic came up, I was like f$ck yeah! Halo 2 on legendary truly is awsome.

Then i beat the first four levels and the last level on heroic, but it didn't really feel like a big challenge. so today i tried the last level on legendary, and after 2 hours i got two the banshee/escort scarab part. dude, it's friggin impossible! when you get to the las 2 wraiths and take the out, the friggin banshees just keep on coming! so i gave up and started from the beggining. Cairo station on legendary is -blam!-. After about 2 1/2 hours i finally beat it, and man, it feels like you beat the entire game.


btw, for the guy stuck on the second boarding station: stock up on grenades, use frags when reinforcements come, and plasma for elites. when you run out, go up to the second level and use plasma pistol to get the elite's shield, then quickly swap to battle rifle and snipe them out & use the battle rifle to pick off stray grunts.

Man I wouldn't do it! If you play co-op you no longer have the glory of being able to retreat to a safe place to respawn fellow teammate (ie. no longer treat it as a war of attrition). If your bud dies, you both go back to the checkpoint. Its just not worth having to look after yourself, AND someone else! However the flip side is that you can't do the whole run-in-guns-blazing routine, so u are forced to work out intricate and devious strategies! Snap! I dunno its up to you I guess!

Honestly I think that halo 2 on legendary very very good although the jackals with the beam rifles really p!ss me off I was playing it with a friend on coop at his house and we completed four levels or something. It wasnt all that bad. It was really quite fun
