They should include another difficulty in between Heroic and Legendary because many people thought that Heroic was easy and Legendary was insane.

If they put in another one that would be impossible to beat it would feel more like an accomplishment when you beat it and it would feel the same way (if your playing co-op) beating it as it does beating legendary by yourself

It brings joy to my heart knowing so many people though legindary (single) was such a feat of strength, that now everyone has yet completed. I know I know, there are probably thousands out there better than I, but when halo 2 comes out, with my ranking system (rigged), we will see who prevales.

of course legendary was a great accomplishment the first time through. its that point in the game where you either really push your skills to the next level or reach a pleatau of skill. i survived legendary on all 10 levels, first with a friend then on my own. i find it easier now as i'm generally better but it is still no walk in the park as you all claim, it'll always be a challange.
as for a harder difficulty in halo 2?
BRING IT ON!

Of course legendary was difficult the first time through. its the point in legendary where you either take your skills to the next level or reach a platau of skill.
I finished legendary (of course) on all the levels first with a friend then on my own. it was a callange both times. now legendary isn't as hard, but it is no walk in the park as many often claim. its easier sure but still as challange and i say its impossible to do without ever dying.
As for a harder difficulty in Halo 2, i say "BRING IT ON!"

EDIT : Sorry for double posting, there was a glitch that made it so it looked like i hadn't posted the previous one so i repeated myself.
My apologies to all.

I think their should be another and it could be called ( insert good name here ). You know how theres an explaination of the difficulty, well i think it should be "If you complete this soldier, people will bow down to you, the earth will tremble at your feet and . . . . . you will be a god."

Or, you are going where no brave man has gone before, and chances are you won't come back. I'd wish you luck but you need blind faith to make it through this.

The AI in Halo 2 will be improved where on Legendary the Covenant will be a bigger problem than ever. Also Bungie has maintained with nearly every single one of their games the current 4 difficulties we have now. So adding another would break the Bungie mold. Don't worry, Legendary will be a bigger pain in the ass for you. Adding another would just be a waste.

Franks idea is good. Anyways, what I think would be a good idea is if there was a difficulty where they didnt incerase the AI, but where they just added more ai. Not necessarily like Elites, but after reading the books, I always felt that there should be just HUNDREDS of Grunts milling around. That would be cool. Also, couldnt you imagine what it would be like to do the very first campaign mission based off of the first chapter/epilougue (however the hell u spell it) of The Fall of Reach, where there are thousands of grunts? The problem I have with increasing the difficulty is that Bungie would have to design the AI to come after me. When I know im cooked, I fall back and pick people off. Not the quickest, but it works. And finally, you people who say Legendary is a walk in the park must be gods. Not saying its THAT hard, but it can still piss me off smetimes in SP. Of course, if they would, definitly add the harder difficulty.

No no no no nooooooooo. No harder difficulty. Legendary was hard enough thanks. (if there was a higher difficulty... you'd only make it through with a friend. yikes.) And no. I havn't beat Legendary by myself yet. I figured I go through and beat it on legendary (no falling back, no shooting hunters weak points, no active camo...) on co-op before fighting on legendary. (and maybe the reason is why you all find Legendary easy, is not your skills, but the ability to know what enemys are in this next room and where. Maybe that should open your eyes that you're not the greatest of Halo players.)

Here is how i feel...

most people here are pretty good if not awesome at halo, remember when you first played Halo? Admit it you mustve died a view times on Normal....now normal is a joke.....i want normal for Halo 2 to be almost as hard as herioc is for Halo 1, i think it makes sense, and with the improved AI i think it may actually be true in Halo 2

There should be a level where there's 3 times the ammount of enemies, and ALL the monsters are 5 times master cheifs health then their health added on to that(so a grunt would be five MC's plus its health in legendary)It would be called "Death Stroll(Utter Suicide)" or something. Yeah, that would keep everyone busy until Halo 3 came out
