I was a little disapointed in the Heroic difficulty. In Heroic, the AI has a lot of gliches and isn't as challanging as I would have liked. Legendary is great...if a bit cheap at times. Why can't Heroic have the same AI difficulty, and chaos minus the handicaps present in Legendary? In Legendary it's quite obvious that the elites are much more powerful and have twice as much health. Thats to be expected. In Heroic, the elites never flank you or try to find a better position to fight you. Why does this matter? In Legendary, you feel as powerful as a regular soldier and and the enemies are 5X more responsive. In heroic you still feel like a Spartan ready to gun...however you feel like the enemy is dumb. My suggestion to Bungie....please release an downloadable upgrade, fix the AI gliches and make Heroic more challanging. Heroic Plus? If you happened to read this, please implement these features as an option. I'm sure many people will love you guys even more than we do already. Thanks

I agree.
There is a major difficulty gap between the difficulty levels.
Legendary on the first game was the only way I would play through hte game again, with the others being too easy. However, at least Heroic in the first was fhard enough to give me some fun.
Heroic, I am afraid, now feels far too like normal for me to even take it seriously anymore, and Legendary is now pure evilness, and will keep my occupied for a while :D
Please either return Heroic to it's former state of mind, or bridge the two in a new difficulty mode.

We could call it Herondary :D hehehe

Well, I actually thought there was a huge gap between Heroic and Legendary in the first game too.

But yeah, I'm not cool with how hard Legendary is at all, simply because they're not just making faster smarter enemies, they're physically making them stronger than a normal character. I went head on with an Elite wielding double plasma rifles versus his one, we both began firing at the same time and both had full life/shields, yet I somehow died first, even with exactly double the firepower..that's just unrealistic.

Legendary is mega-difficult, but if you are patient you can beat it. I also agree the separation between the two levels is disgusting, but you will simply have to re-evaluate your style to beat legendary. I have beaten it, but instead of running into a room after beating a group, I may faint in and then fall back. It is annoying, but you just have to be patient and you can beat it. Luck doesn't hurt either.
