You might want to just go through fast to find out the storyline, then you'd go easy, you might want a challenge, but not one that would make you wait, or you might want the pure heavy Halo 2 action - Which will it be?

I think I'll go Legendary, unlock any secret endings. :P

If it was my first time picking up Halo I would play Easy (as I did with the original). The controllers are hard to get used to and require a good bit of time to feel comfortable. For Halo 2 I will begin playing on Normal to get the full game experience (i.e. what the designers wanted it to feel like, not too easy, not too difficult). Once I've got that out of my system I'll shoot for that Legendary ending as well. Then it's time for multiplayer :)

I'm gonna go for Heroic, so I can be that much better for Multiplayer.

If your going to be playing online and really care about the plot you better beat the game first!
Otherwise some jackass is going to tell you bits of the plot that you were not expecting.
It would be like someone told you all about 343 guilty spark, that would really suck.

I'll go normal first... You might miss something otherwise.
Like on the pillar of autumn, if you play heroic, you skip the diagnostics in the cryo-chamber.

It doesn't really matter, Halo 2 will probably start off easy and get harder and harder as it goes on, like in the PoA its easy to beat on almost all difficultys, so your question is what difficulty FIRST? I don't care, but I chose normal because its like the default choice.

Legendary or whatever it's equivalent will be.
I want to be challenged the whole way through. I don't want a walk in the park. I want to fight for my life just like the story implies you'll be doing.

Normal first. So its not too easy or not too tough.


the only thing about that is there making all the difficutlies harder than they were in halo 1 so easy is gonna be between easy and normal which makes normal between normal and heroic compared to halo 1

I would do Legendary, get straight to the hard stuff, no boot camp or anything. That's what Halo was for.

I don't appreciate you stating your opinion as fact. You have the right to believe or not believe whatever you want, but don't go around saying that no one is going to try the toughest difficulty first, as if you know every person that's going to play Halo 2 and how they think. That's just being an ass. Perhaps legendary was a little too rough for you, or maybe you're forgetting that a lot of the skills picked up while playing Halo, will translate to Halo 2 as well. Judging by your reply though, I'm guessing that you don't have much to translate.

I’m gonna play it on normal first then get back online. Halo 1 got spoiled for me by my friends (they told me about guilty spark AND the flood). So I might just play it and not leave my apt. till I beat it (excluding work of course).

Yeah, i wasn't even suprised by the flood, beacuse the first cut scene i ever saw was the one where we first saw the Flood.
