predators are republicans and xenomorphs are democrats...which one are you?

if i remember correctly the elites' shields were very strong and they are insanely accurate.

The quick kill isn't as reliable on them, and your own shield is soooo sloooowww.
Also seems like the game gets extra cruel when your health is in the red. You'll be steamrolling along, have an accident/close call...and suddenly you can't move three feet without getting tanked.

Campaign on halo CE was 3x harder then halo 3s campaign IMO. Maybe i just think that because i sucked back then.

The only thing more difficult than Halo CE on legendary was the opening level of Halo2 on legendary. Aside from that, CE has the most challenging legendary play through. For an older game the AI is incredibly smart, sometimes bordering on cheap, often ducking sniper headshots right before you fire. Eltes strafed like it was going out of style, and the flood was relentless and in your face.

I always thought that too. In Halo CE, there are WAY more Hunters, the Elites are faster & more accurate, your health bar is smaller and takes longer to recharge, and the levels are twice as long.

Heh yeah, It is the best Halo. Elites were Elite... Unlike now, Wheres the respect for truly great warriors? All I hear in Halo 3 are that Dumb Dinos and crap like that, well kids, Go play Halo CE on legendary and start respecting the AI :), the game was much harder, and much better.

The game is consistently more challenging. You can't just cruise through everything and stop for the occasional bottleneck.

in Halo 1 there were a lot more hunters but they were extremely weak. I tok down most of them with just a magnum

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

halo 1 on legendary was an insane experience. took me to my limits and then some back in the day.

  • 07.31.2009 8:29 PM PDT

I think Halo 2 was harder (when I ran through out on Legendary without glitches). Jackal Sniper was -blam!-holes, but the Brutes were way too easy to kill.

But now, Halo 3 is the hardest to beat (Mythic Difficulty).

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

I thought that Halo 2 Legendary was the most challenging.

Wort wort wort!

Here is a thing I made: Linkage

Here is a Leet I made: Link BLARGH

I R SAY TEH HIS ASWELL

They got easier along the way.

Halo CE: Impossible on heroic (For me and my bro when we were wee munchkins)
Halo 2: I can beat a few levels on solo heroic
Halo 3: I beat it solo legendary easily

You should try Halo 2 with all the skulls turned on.

Halo 2 was the hardest imo, followed by 1, then by Halo 3.

Halo 3s difficulty was an absolute joke, and the only way you can make it challenging is to turn off things that make Halo, Halo. Like recharging shields, HUD etc.

Halo CE was the right difficulty on legendary, we'd do it for fun sometimes, on Halo 2 that was suicide (yay permanent iron skull, although I am grateful for that), and Halo 3 is too easy even on Legendary Co-op, you can 100% mess around and still fly through every level.

So what are your fastest times in a no-die run on each level ?
I don't think it's easy. Took a long time for me to even get "no die" status on every level.

Halo CE was hardest when it came to a bunch of AI rushing up to you, with your weak shields and such, I dont find Halo CE as Hard as Halo 2 (assuming you don't try to sequence break, or attempt to glitch).

However, the hard parts of Halo CE, IMO, are when you are forced to fight a ton of enemies in close quarters, wherea's Halo 2 had similar difficulties, except it was mostly mid to long ranged combat in Halo 2, but even I have to admit those Jackal Snipers are admirable.

Anyway, while I enjoy Halo CE, (I still hate that damn health system, damn those Jackals!) the difference with difficulty in the AI in Halo 2 is astonishing in legendary, (The enemy Needlers will revert back to the Halo CEish homing system, the Addition of Auto aim for enemy AI, and of course, those tough Ultra Elites) I have yet to try to complete Mythic legendary on Halo 2.

I still haven't beat Halo: CE on legendary.
