On normal the beam rifle Jackels can't hit the broadside of a barnyard, on Heroic you gotta watch out for them, on Legendary if you don't kill them first your smoked. Heroic is probably closest to reality.

Yeah, Halo isn't realistic at all, though if the enemies died as easy as Master Chief does in Legendary, then it would be legendary. After all, it's not every day you're hit by a ball of burning energy and you live to tell the tale about it (I'm talking about non-shielded enemies and allies).

You are fighting a bunch of aliens and alien zombies to prevent all living things from being killed. It's a game not a simulation. Want realism out of a simulation? try the Rainbow Six series.

HMC3, I think what he's try to say is if the world of Halo was real, and all those alien dudes were real and trying to kill Master Chief, which difficulty setting it would be that would imitate his chances of survival.

Now onto the question...
If you read the books, it portrays Spartans as near-invincible, providing they have fully operational armour. "They always won on the ground". If MC was a normal person, I would say legendary, If he was a Spartan, normal.

OhmyGod, not even, please, play America's Army instead.

Slaying noobs since 2007.

Oh yes, AA, a realistic simulation of combat. Question: In real life is your commander supposed to disappear into a wall and have his gun stick out of that wall and bark orders at you?

No game is realistic you guys, lol.

But some are more realistic than others.

Like Crysis, nano suits are standard for U.S. and NATO ground forces.

Reloading properly while actually bunnyhopping/strafing like a 6 year old in traffic, having the actual "set" of stamina (no one has a "set limit" to how much they can run or corpsehump. It varies from individual skills, not by some healthbar-ish bar), and actually being able to accurately fire with a red dot scope-like reticle that really isn't there while not aiming down the sight properly, and during training, how the targets are so easy to shoot that EVERYONE is qualified to train as a team sniper. Yeah, very realistic.

Pretty much all FPS's are unrealistic. The fact that you can even aim while you hold a gun to your side in every FPS games...man.

...Have you ever even played AA?

Your avatar as a serviceman is essentially a well-drilled, well-oiled beast machine trained to kill people, what do you expect?

Red Orchestra, anybody?

America's Army is a simulator, and thus, wouldn't you think it would be... more realistic than most games?

I'm not saying America's Army is akin to actually going in the army and shooting people, it's just more realistic than... Halo.

1) Yes, actually I have. I hated every second of it. Don't get me wrong, I liked the fact that it's quite "different" from other FPS's, since it features "realistic" events (ie. jams, stamina, training, etc.). But it was as repetetive as Counter-Strike, and as boring as playing a game of chess with the wall. But then again, my opinion, you have yours, etc.etc.

2) Notice I said "MOSTLY all fps games are unrealistic". I am aware of the "features" of Red Orchestra.
