I've been wondering what some of you guys think about legendary. I seen that some of you think that legendary is easy (for me it's just too easy to beat today) and others have said that bungie made legendary to laugh at us (I laugh at them, lol). So what should bungie do with the legendary setting or i guess "the difficulty settings"? I say raise the difficulty and make me wish I was dead, if that is possible.

It all depends on how you play the game. For a friend and myself, even easy was hard the first time through. We skipped past normal and went to Heroic. We finally took the time to beat it on Legendary. I find Legendary easy now, but that's because the game is so hopelessly addictive.

You could make the enemies God-like and others would practice so much they could beat it easily.

I think Morrowind's difficulty slider (-100 to 100 [200 settings]) was nice.

I wouldn't say a walk in the park, but it's easy compared to some multiplayer action at my shop. If you do practice enough at it and just play the game a lot it is somewhat easier.

That's what I was thinking also, but what if that's not enough? On legendary on Halo though the elites shields are heavy and your shields get taken down pretty quick too. I can't see bungie increasing those charestics. I just hope the AI makes it harder this time around.

I think Legendary mode is already tough enough. I can't even get halfway through the first level on it. So I went back down to Heroic and died several times before getting to level 2, which was as far as I got there.
Don't get me wrong I love games that have challenge to them I just found legendary to be exceedingly hard.

Lengendary is hard enough but since there is better AI it would be a lot harder.

i found normal quite hard the first time i played halo, but after a few years of competitive LAN play, i find legendary rather easy now.

personally i reckon legendary should be a lot harder.

also, i'd like an 'elite difficulty' where every single bad guy turns into an elite. it would be near impossible but oh so fun to attempt.

I think they should include another difficulty, even harder than legendary.
I still haven't beaten all the levels on legendary on my own (so many good games...), but I expect that people who played Halo will instantly be better at Halo 2 than they were at Halo: CE. I also expect Live to make people practicing much more, so they could use a higher difficulty... (Halo 2 i gonna make me sorry I haven't got live... *sigh*)

ya it should stay the same but for the people who thought legendary wasn't hard enough they should put in an impossibly hard difficult called "impossible"

I don't understand how you can find T&R easy on legendary.
I mean youl probably die a couple of times.

Legendary is hard and I've been told I'm good at Halo, so all you who thinks its easy are just trying to brag about how bad you really are and trying to hide behind words, I've owned countless people in any FPS I've played, like clan leaders of good clans and all that, but I still find Legendary hard enough.

yea legendary isnt super-hard...on some parts of the game it can b hard like the gravity lift on Truth & Reconceliation, that was pretty hard, and a few parts on the library and some other parts, but i personally dont like plaing halo by myslef too much anymore...well only on some levels, but i like to have a compadre by my side to watch my back, it just makes the game more fun, one of my friends and me have a perfect system for each part in the game...its awesome...

i really doubt that bungie will make a new difficulty...cause the game will b much more challenging because of the AI, its gonna kick a$$!!! every thing in the game marine, covenant whatever is gonna have its own mind practically....there gonna kno how to distract u, hide, use much better tactics....its gonna b pretty hard, cause when ur enemy is almost as smart as u, u will have a challenge killing him/it, lol.

just imagine that ur playin halo 2 somewhere on earth...like in/near some random building, and ur stuck behind a small pillar or small wall, and ur pined by 2 elites , or anything else...but there are at least 2 of them...one of them will distract u by shooing at the wall or where ur at, and the other is goin to b able to sneak up to u and try and kill u...or flush u out, just something like that i think is so kool...no other video game is going to have as good of an AI as halo 2 for sure....

It should be harder only because when you played co-op on legendary it was kind of easy.
