Legendary Definitely!!!! Have you no pride? Anyone who played the original should
for sure play it on legendary. If you don't, you will be murdured by me on XBOX LIVE.
My tag will be Stanfo, so watch out!

Hold up!!! how do we know that those are going to be the same names, and there my be some in the middle like higher then normal but lower then heroic.
But if they are the same, i would start with normal. why? becuase it will make the enemys act normal like they should. Not a harder or easyer then they should be, Just normal. And i want to go through the levels killing all the pest, but if i get c-o-c-k-y, i'll die. And we all die, even the best because who knows were to go next or what surprise bungie put around the next bend? And unlike the people tring to beat it there first time on legedary, i would like to beat it this year so the polt isn't told by the people that pick easy and run through it.

if you can beat halo1 on legendary, you are probably good in MP. its just a good guess.

and being cocky, beating on legendary? its a -blam!- video game. its computers. and weve played it before, in halo1. if they are smarter or not, it cant be 10 times harder. and coop- it cant be that hard. hell, my friend and i beat halo1 on legendary the first time. not every level, but 8 out of 10 counts well enough for me. we beat the others later.

heroic is the best difficulty tho, whoever said that. normal is normal, but after i beat campaign, im hoping on the MP wxperience, so easy sounds bad, and normal is just too damn normal.

Ummmm...Heroic. Normal is too easy (hell, you could melee your way through the first half of Halo 1), and on Legendary it's too damn hard to keep your fellow marines alive and I don't want to miss out on their hilarious dialogue. Heroic is like porridge... just right.

Yes, I know. I was using Halo 1 as an ANALOGY for how I would approach the sequel and why. After I enjoy it on Heroic for awhile I will no doubt switch to Legendary goodness.
Crystal?

Legendary.
I dont think it will be that difficult honestly seeing as i feel that legendary on halo1 is a breeze(I'm not trying to be cocky really im no "amazing" halo player.. its down to tactics and how much i play[I play levels on legendary when waiting for people to join hosts on XBC])
Anyways I dont like to move down on difficulties its just too boring and too easy. I want to spend as much time as POSSIBLE when I first get the game. I regret playing halo on easy the first time and beating it in a day.. I wish i had taken a week.

I wonder if Bungie will have a semi-different ending for the hardest ( Legendary ) mode like in Halo (1)?

Yeap, i think i'll go for normal, all this true Halo player Crap. (legendary, cus everyhting else sucks)

Normal is the NORMAL experience, it is the standard game experience that bungie expects every one to go through, unless you do it co-op, which i would do in normal anyway. (i think)
You've gotta get that "normal" shield, (if it still has those) so why play Legendary, first, then you back down to a weaker difficulty, sorta boring.... If you play the hardest first, the campaign mode's life would be reduced, as there is nothing harder for you to play anymore.

But i dont want to beat it too easy, and i want to learn the story so i can go online....
Normal seems to be a happy medium. Also, my friend beats the Library in Legendary easier than i do, and i beat this guy 15 - 5 in Multiplayer, so versing bots isnt always an accurate way to measure your skill in the multiplayer arena!

yeah, you're right ^. Bungie has normal for us to play it how it should be, and then they but it harder for the people that work as a team or the people who want to have a harder difficulty. And for the people that think it is still easy on normal, change on the 2nd level. the first level is just pratice to let you get the hang of the game.

mmmmmmm... probably normal, easy if there's a symbol for it. If the AI ends up being harder I might go start on easy.

How could you not want to play the campaign mode first. I guess my personal opinion makes me quite a bit bias, and you are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I think that it's all in the campaign mode. Sure, the online MP will be a revolutionary experience, but the story is what drives the game, right? Online, in my opinion, is tainted with scum. In other words, unless Bungie comes up with a system that filters out people who aren't there to play the game, but are there ONLY to piss of the fans of it, then the online will always be second rate. I couldn't go months not playing the campaign mode myself. I have to know what is going on in the storyline of the game... but I guess that's just me:)

We cannot presume that the difficulties will be identical to those of Halo 1.

Holo eh? Sounds good.

Theres more to the game than just multiplayer you know, if halo was just a multiplayer game it would still be fun, but it wouldnt be great.
