Easy. The only other shooter I had played before that was 007: Agent Under Fire, and that game aims for you. That was 7 years ago.

Easy. I always do Halo levels on Easy before tackling them on higher difficulties.

Heroic. I played Halo 3 and ODST before , and had already beat them on Legendary. I got CE through Games on Demand.

RIP Halo 2: November 9, 2004-May 10, 2010
I was the 2nd to last person to get kicked off Halo 2, see the thread Here

I played on easy for like the whole first year, then after a few deep breaths and a shot of vodka, I bumped up to normal.

Soon to be breaking news:


US Coast Guard prepares for massive rescue mission after Iranian fleet sinks off shore. Reports say a small thunderstorm caused most of the ships to simply...fall apart.

Normal. I had so much trouble with the escape part on The Silent Cartographer..

When I first played it I was 11 so I played Normal difficulty. However just recently I went back and played it all the way through with a guest on Heroic. And in the past I beat it several times alone and also with people on Legendary.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Normal first, harder difficulties later.

Legendary all the way man!

Easy.

It was my first FPS game that didn't aim for you (i.e. Metroid Prime and Goldeneye). I eventually bumped up to normal after I could aim and got to The Library. (Couldn't play the level after it)

I've made it my life goal to never become too stressed. So if I appear to be doing nothing all the time and generally never working particularly hard on any task, that's my plan in action.

Normal, switched it to easy once I thought that the part "If I Had A Super Weapon..." on Assault on The Control Room was rigged.

Also, this was in 2002, these days I can easily beat the game on legendary with no deaths, just so if somebody says "noob" or something.

You would have never beaten Halo 1 your first time playing on legendary....

I believe I played it on normal...

I started out on normal.
It was years before I even attempted legendary.
And when I finally did, I was surprised by how easy legendary was.

  • 08.31.2010 6:08 AM PDT

Normal.

If memory serves, I think the first time through you had no choice but to play either easy or normal. You had to finish the game on normal to unlock heroic, and then finish heroic in order to unlock legendary. I might not remember it correctly but that is what I recall.

I start on Normal with all my games.

No, you could start it on any difficulty you wanted to.

Normal for Combat Evolved. Worked my way up to Legendary and my bad habits from playing too easy were hard to overcome. All other games I've since started Heroic. A bit harder at first, but makes the step to legendary easier to make.

"You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space." -Johnny Cash

I started at Normal. I didn't want it to feel to easy.

Heroic. "The way Halo is meant to be played" swayed it for me.

All of yous guys who are playing on Heroic, you've simply got to give Legendary a shot. It's like a whole new game. Parameters change, enemies change, it's like a whole new experience. I know the guide says, 'How the game was meant to be played,' but give it the L turn. The satisfaction and fun are beyond words.

Let grunts Sleep!!!

Pretty sure I did easy, but I was only 10
