Subject: How will the difficulty system work in a free roam environment

After reading into halo 3 odst and finding out that it was gunna be free roam i was like (wow) well maybe not but it got me thinking. If there is still going to to be legendary and heroic difficulties and all the others then how is it going to work will all the flash backs and the free roam game play all be legendary if thats what u picked, and if so what if like i did i did a mission or two on legendary but then decided to do a bit of normal or something how r u gunna be able to save and go back to a free roam environment and carry on. i just dont understand how it would work any ideas of ur own to maybe understand how this might work : p

Hmm, now you got me thinking about that too. Well, trust Bungie, there is a way it works :) Thats for sure. Theres no way way they wouldn't have put any work on something as obvious like this.

Whenever I'm bored, I like to think about people with their hands in their pockets falling over.

I'm guessing that if you get certain objectives done then you'll end up with a save point/ checkpoint which you'll be able to start from if you say die or if you leave the game.

with higher difficultys, more of the stronger enemys will spawn throughout the city probly

Same way as it does now I would think. It takes less shots to kill you and enemies are more frequent.

I agree, but i think he's more talking about how will you want to do some of it on legendary and then switch to heroic or something halfway through. and i have no idea

I think he was asking about checkpoints or if there is any in the free roam game play, also if you could change the difficulty setting at said checkpoints.
