Did you?

Co-op can be considered just as good, since the iron skull was on at all times, and it was more or less as hard as solo.

I've done all of the games myself on Legendary, and after going back to Halo 2 recently, I realise it is MUCH harder than the other 2 games.

I've played through each campaign on legendary both solo and co-op countless times. I agree that Halo 2's campaign was the most challenging to get through at the legendary difficulty. I have played through it fewer times than the other two.

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.

Especially Cairo Station right off the bat, jesus that made me dread playing through the rest of the game.

I think once you get used to the fast draining shield, Legendary isn't too hard. You just have to pace yourself and use the Elite/noob trick; particularly on Cairo. Those cargo bays full of Elites were ludicrous until I learned that technique.

Almost, I got stuck on the last mission, (the battle with Tartarus).

I´ve tried to complete the mission on legendary several times, but no matter how much I shoot him when his shield is down he never dies.

Sure did, and when I got to the end....I was slightly dissappointed.

Halo 3 made up for it though.

Imagine Halo 2 legendary without the Plasma Pistol xD

Myself I only finished it once on Legendary, solo. Then it turned out that since I hadn't started with the first video clip it didn't count it as a full run through of legendary, so it still says I've done the last level on Heroic as hardest.

I then tried again, many months later, got to the end of quarantine zone, took ages (in my opinion one of the hardest levels) - then the disc was so scratched it couldn't load the video clip at the end of the level, the game crashed. When I turned it back on I was at the start of the level.

I never tried it again since until 2 days ago, on my Xbox 360. I did Cairo Station and Outskirts, then turned it off for the night. No joke, the next morning I turn on my Xbox 360, Halo 2 still in the tray (A new copy I bought), I got the RRoD (2 lights). Tried to fix it, the 2 turned into 3 lights.

I hadn't actually realised till I wrote this post, but I think I'm cursed. :(
