I for one will first play it on normal to absorb the story faster and easier, then move on to heroic and legendary.

normal and if not easy because I just want to beat it as fast as possible before I go on LIVE so people aren't giving away spoilers and stuff.

Normal to start out. Simply so that I get the different tutorials that come along with the game. If I go any higher I might miss learning a few special tricks along the way.

There are two groups of people in the world - those that hope, and those that wish. The first group hopes that nothing bad will happen. The second group wishes that they are there when it does. Which one are you?

yep, play through normal and then on up, as fast as possible to see if there are any differences in the story. Then to Live...mwahahahaha.

Ledgendary all the way. I make look into easy/normal for a few mins to see the new controls but Bungie said they would be really easy so I probably wont.

Normal and work my way up to Legendary. I might do Easy last if it has different demos/ending.
The intros in Halo 1 we're all different depending on difficulty so Halo 2 might be the same

Because Bungie has had these settings inside every single game of theirs.

normal. a determining factor in my game playing abilities is reading an opponents moves. all of the enemies were supposed to have been redone this time around. so i want to be in a learning environment to get used to them. then ill hop on live and secure my ranking.

no where has Bungie said that normal is going to be easy....in fact id be willing to bet that normal is A LOT harder than normal for Halo CE, the improved AI is going to kick our asses, we wont know what hit us, its gonna be great and challenging.....

and to answer the question normal first.....i want to be able to experience everything the first time through, get used to the controls, and new weapons, stare in AWE at the graphics....stuff that you cant do when playing legendary.....

Legendary will be alot tougher because the Ai is smarter. All thoughs times you would hide behind something and wait for you sheild to recharge wont work in Halo 2. They will go around the rock and surrond you. (plus the AI know whats destrcutable and whats not so they might blow up your hideing place)

Me and some of my buddies are already planning on skipping school that day and playing 16 player MP.
For campaign I'll play it on easy so i can learn ths new controls, vehicles/weapons pros/cons, what the AI is like, and how the maps are configured. After that I'll play it on Heroic, and then Legendary.
