Subject: Halo3:ODST Legendary-How difficult will it be?

I've been thinking about how hard ODST will be on legendary. With the fact you need health packs plus finding ammo in the game, that will be a pain in the ass, will make it pretty difficult. Then add the the numerous enemys comming at you. The will be hunters, swarms of drones, jackals, grunts, and brutes. I don't consider jackals and grunts much of a threat but if they are paired up with some brutes then that will take a couple of tries to get past.

Not only that, in the daytime the fighting will be more intense. Even when you were MC in Halo3 you still had some problems getting past some parts. Now I now Co-op will make it easier but remember you are not a spartan anymore.

So I say ODST will be far more difficult on Legendary than any other Halo game except Halo CE. So what do you guys think.

This is how difficult I think it will get.

Imagine, you're surrounded. Jackal snipers are shooting you from the rooftops. Wraiths are bombarding your position. Grunts are chucking grenades at you. You and your buddies have little or no ammo left so you have to use the enemies weapons. A phantom comes and drops of some brutes with brute shots and a chieftan. The chieftan forces you out of your position with his grav-hammer. Then one by one your buddies die by the snipers, brutes, grenades, and wraiths.

As MC you could run away and recharge your health but as an ODST you will need health packs which are scattered around the city. It may seem like impossible.

Im guessing it will be as hard as Halo 3's mythic

  • 06.15.2009 2:39 PM PDT

Although it will be annoying, I hope it's really hard. Like Gears of War's Insane and COD2's Veteran.

It will knock your socks off.

But srsly I have no idea. Bungie is able to adjust the difficulty due to limitations of the players. How ODST was described last December, it sounded impossible on Legendary, but many changes have probably been made since then.

my thoughts exactly.

With the ability to free roam I guess once you see a large group of people you shuld find a different route but then with the flash backs you will probably always be under constant fire.

Well maybe some but it will still be pretty inpossible without buddies and communication. Just playing it by yourself is plain suicide.

And that too. With wave after wave of troops on Legendary plus skulls it will seem virtually impossible. I believe Bungie made sure that it would take us a while to accomplish some things in ODST especially firefight on Legendary.

If that is the case it will take me months to complete Legendary.

Why the hell don't people use meh?

If you can do Halo 1 Legendary then you can as well do Halo 3 ODST both games u need health packs exept i don't know if stamina is recharging as quick as a shield would and the thing about having a friend in game is a good idea

Halo2- Completed Legendary

Halo CE- Never finished.

That could be a problem for me lol.

Well I'm just assuming because I don't have Halo CE only played it like 4 to 5 times over at my friends house.

Dyor' Docuree (2nd in command of the powerhouse, The Sangheili Army)

It would probably be like CE's legendary......maybe a little harder.......but then again, like you, I never completed CE on legendary.

If it is as hard as we're all saying, Bring It On! even though i'd probably get wrecked, again and again and again.

Im Bryan Wieblitz from New Zealand ( no its not in Europe im near Antarctica) who enjoys playing halo and anything to do with it. If anybody from Bungie is reading this im going to ninja ur hideout and steal ur halo bible

i think it shall be alot easier because u dont actually have to fight the covies to get to the area ur wanting to go to so if ur really stealthy u wont have to fight the any body expect if u have to

For the Next 10 minutes, Your my B1tch!

What difficulty is everyone going to start on? if it is going to be as hard as mythic or COD4 veteran.

I for one will be doing it on legendary with me and one other person regardless of how hard it is.

Ah i forgot about firefight.
In that case i will try legendary and if its too hard i will go down to heroic but no lower. Playing on normal is just silly in my opinion.

I know many will do it to get used to the surroundings of the maps but the AI jump from normal to legendary will be massive. AI on normal with Halo 3 is simply retarded.
