Subject: Halo 1 legendary vs. Halo 2 legendary

i have to admit it is very hard. especially sacred icon. but in co-op u have to take cover as soon as anyhting shoots or ur dead. when ur killing vehcles u need rockets or tank or ur so so so screwed

I actually thought the enemys in the first halo were smarter than the second.The gold elites really freaked me out but now it is a piece of cake to beat one.

Why is it the whole world is celebrating the release of Halo3 except Bungie's Halo 3 forums?

i like how they made it harder but come on do the jackals snipers have to be so good? i mean once i saw on and i was shotting in the back of the head with a carbine. and it shot and IT WAS LOOKING THE OTHER WAY!!!!!! and i died and i had to go back to last checkpoint which was at the beginnig of the level.

the deal is, h1 legendary was ALOT better, the AI became smarter, and a bit stronger...
in h2, the AI are the same, and the guys kill you with 2-3 shots... NOT FUN


Exactly, it sucks

That depends on what weapon you're using.

The only reason it's so difficult is because the enemies are significantly more powerful than you. Each and every Elite has more powerful shields, more health, and stronger weapons, infinite ammo, no reload times, I've never seen an Elite's plasma rifle overheat, and you have to take them on 3 or 4 at a time. It's just a cheap way of making the game hard to beat - instead of making the enemies outsmart you, they can just outshoot you and outlast you in a firefight. You have to beat them with your smarts (startegy) instead of your skill (aim and fire).

1--Actually, the elites' plasma rifles overheat all the time. And that is a fact.
2--Their ammo never ran out in easy mode, either. Not even on Halo 1.
3--No reload times? They are using plasma weapons.
4--Of course they are going to have more powerful guns and shields. It's legendary.
5--What's wrong with using strategy to take down enemies?

I have beaten every level of Halo 2 on Legendary. And not a single one of them was fun. Just frustrating hide and seek games with Elites getting assassinations while they mindlessly stared at the spot they last saw me.
How was Halo 1 any different? Elites showed up in large groups, and many times in Halo 1 I had to take some serious cover. That nis the point of both games--rushing aimlessly out is no way to win. Taking cover is not for noobs. It's the smart thing to do.
If the elites are too hard, use vehicles or the PP/BR combo. Or dual-wield. Or hey--grenades could help, now couldn't they?

halo 2 on legendary requires A. running and gunning b. Sniper and C. a sword with u at all times. And yes i beat it, use a shotgun on tartarus to beat him. Halo 1 legendary was a bit funner especially coop. Sword guys on halo 2 have to be way more agressive.

cya later-bye!

Legendary on halo 2 was really time consuming. I havnt done halo 1 on legendary yet, but by the sounds of things its easier. the snipers are what get me. I was stupin enough to kill EVERYTHING in the game, I didnt shoot and run, which wuda been the quicker option! Plus I did it without skiping any part of the levels, and Me and my friend have done it in co-op, bloody hard. Im not bragging, it was really hard to get through, but the plasma pistol and battle rifle combo (the n00b combo) works really well. however, dont use this combo in x-box live, because its bloody annoying and not much skill is involved in using it, and it really pisses people off! anyways, its good when you do it, looking at ur profile and seeing 'the great journey on legendary' is really satisfying!!
