Has anyone else noticed how insanely harder H2 is on campaign than Halo 3???

Ive been taking a trip down nostalgia lane lately, playin thru H2, decided I have to beat it on Legendary.

SO i get to the first contact on Cairo Station, the door is burning, when it blows open, literally, 2 seconds, dead, restart, oooh, 3.5 seconds, dead. Damn elites are horrendous! Cant even imagine the flood, which is actually a challenging enemy in H2...

Amazing how H2 made it harder, then H3 backed waaay off, to make it easier for noobs i guess...

Anyway, this is NOT a complaint, just an observation.

There's a word for what I am, but I can't pronounce it.

BFA, CCS - olde and bony & one minute musings.

I was seriously afraid to play Halo 2 on Heroic, and I still am. I do remember the extreme amount of complaints about how easy Halo 3's campaign was, too.

'Makes me wonder as to why Halo 3 is just so much easier than Halo 2's campaign experience; remember though, there are skulls, which can make things much harder.

A wise man once saw a weed struggling to grow under a rock, one month later he returned to see the weed flourishing, only to put the rock back on top of the weed (dooming it), when his his advisors asked why he he simply exclaimed; "That was its fate."

Think.

YOU'VE NEVER MPLAYED HEROIC OR LEGENDARY!

Campiagn Kill Count :31,745. And growing.

Halo 2's Legendary is just right for someone that wants a challenge. I've beaten it three times by myself, and I think once with a friend.

Halo 3 made the entire campaign wayy too easy It's not fun at all.

Bungie dumbed down Halo 3 considerably so that really terrible kids could have a go and beat it which made them feel important.

Halo 3 only feels dumbed down because we're all Halo veterans, right? I got a Normal difficulty experience for Halo 3 when I beat it on Heroic.

I'm too used to all three game, but Halo 2 is the hardest only because there were harder and different enemies depending on which difficulty you play.

Ahhh, like the Texas school system, no F grades to keep peoples self esteem up...

playing thru the whole game on heroic was way more fun, challenging, and generally awesome than H3's entire SHORT campaign, even on legendary.

Funny how playing the newest gives you respect for the older games..

yeah its really hard. my frined and i beat it on coop legendary when it first came out, and we played that all the time. I remeber one level with a bunch of brutes we just rushed through to see who could make it the farthest cuz we were bored. after many tries my friend actually rushed through 3 checkpoints. That was a fun day.

I beat H2 legendary only once myself, took me about a week. But with a friend on split screen I've beaten it about 10 times. with the open door part let the marines do there job, you MUST USE THEM AS BAIT. there's a platform above the door you mentioned, camp there and doubleshot them from above, glitches do work in campaign however the BXR and quadshot to the head loses its one-hit-kill lethality. the drones on legendary imo are the HARDEST opponents you will EVER play against, jesus it hurt when i fought them. I had to camp like a -blam!- for about 1 hour after every 3 shot cos they took my shield out in 0.5 seconds.
