Subject: What difficulty will you play through Halo 2 on for the first time?

Yea... what the subject line says.

Of course we'll all play through Halo 2 on all the different difficulties, but what about when you first pop that disc into your Xbox. What difficulty will you select to play on. Anything below Heroic is no different than a tutorial, if you ask me. So I plan on playing through Halo 2 on Heroic, atleast, for the first time. I've waited too long to just blast through the game in 20 hours. I want to make the "HOLY CRAP" experience last as long as possible while still getting the jist of the story:)

Still undecided but I agree that you lose a bit of the fear and awe if you just waltz through on easy. I'm deciding between normal and heroic myself.

I'm also deciding on whether to play it on my own, or share the experience with a buddy in co-op (hopefully co-op will be system link so we get a full screen each)

i think i'll be bold and do it on heroic cos i can do that one handed with a blindfold on the first game,
but i rekon i will go down to normal on some of the later levels

Legendary, always starting with the hardest mode is how you get good faster, and I love a challenge...

I'll probably do mine on normal first, so it wont be too hard or too easy.

I'm probably goin to play through co-op on legendary with a buddy for the hardest game and the extended duration to the whole "HOLY CRAP" factor, either that or just easy for the story so I can leisurely learn all of the new mechanics, and worry about skill later (one of the reasons I love the idea of custom soundtracks, I only need a couple of times through for the story)

Have you no honour? For me it's ledgendary all the way with my eyes half closed and my hands tied together.

  • 06.30.2004 11:31 AM PDT

I have a sneaky suspicion that Legendary won't be as easy as some are predicting it to be:)

Hmmmm....Normal, then I'll go to Legendary..Normal is so the feel of the game is realistic and I get a natural feel. Then legendary to dicourage me and piss me off because of how badly things don't go my way

Normal for me. I like working my way up. I think my boyfriend and I are going to see who can finish the game first. Of course, I have to drive back to school so he'll have a head start ;__;

Ill go through the first level on easy, to see if it gives me a symbol. And if it doesent ill go through it again on normal and then normal on all the other levels then on heroic and finnally legendary. If they bridge the gap between legendary and heroic the game will be more intresting.

Normal all the way, maybe Heroic when I play Co-Op, but, the new AI is scaring me, and I havent even played yet >_>. So, ill probbaly stick to Normal for the first time through.
