Subject: Legendary

Halo C.E. has one of the hardest legendary campaigns of any game that I have played. I remember as a kid playing this game on legendary and being terrible at it because I was generally terrible at games at the time, but now nine years later I am still struggling to complete some of the stages on legendary and I am quite happy at this. I have rage quit a few times, but every time I go through a stage I feel rewarded to have completed such a tremendous task and at the end of it you get an awesome ending. Am I the only one who feels this way?

ME2 was known for stupidity and being retarded

You ragequit in campaign? lol.

But seriously, it does feel awesome to beat a level on Legendary. The joy that you also finally have it over with too.

The Past Is For Reference Not For Residents

Halo got easier as the games went on
Halo CE = Very Hard
Halo 2 = Hard
Halo 3 = Medium
Halo ODST = Legendary is like halo 2 normal
Halo Reach = Medium

yes the end of the library made me throw my controller against the wall and turn off my xbox until I realized that I would have to eventually do it anyway and I got back on and beat it after a few minutes. I hate the library but it felt very rewarding at the end even though I will still have to beat (The Two Betrayals, Keys, and The Maw) on legendary and then I have to run back through the campaign on normal and heroic just to complete the little badges that are at the bottom of each level because it doesn't look right with just legendary

I'm sorry, but I do not agree with you. Halo 2 was a little easier than C.E. but Halo 3 was harder than ODST and Reach was harder than Halo 3.

I loved Halo:CE's Campaign on Legendary, specially the extra ending in "The Maw" LOL that was hillarious

More or less. Though I wouldn't put Reach on the same level as Halo 3. It would fit somewhere between 3 and CE.

Halo 2 harder than CE? Not likely. Jackal snipers, berserker brutes, drone swarms, superdamage by every plasma round, it was ridiculous.

So true. It's fun, but still, getting a mission over with can be so relieving sometimes. lol. Even more so getting to checkpoints at some parts, such as after the first battle on board Truth And Reconciliation.

I think the Halo 2 campaign was the hardest by far, and is still the only one in the series that I havn't beaten on legendary yet. I havn't played Halo 2's campaign in a good few years but I remember the jackal snipers really driving me crazy. I mean I pop my head out for 3 seconds and BAM headshot

I'm sorry but I disagree with you, CE Campaign was the easiest campaign while Halo 2 was the hardest, See what an Opinion can do?

By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe.

Halo 2 is (by far) the most difficult. Cairo Station was a living nightmare, as were any missions with Drones and Jackal Snipers. Did I mention the Brutes (aka bullet sponges)?

I have only played the first 2 games, but an absolute a## load of times.......H2 legendary (no skulls) is harder than CE's, and it pains me to say that since I love CE most!

I thought CE was impossible on Legendary. I used 3 AR clips on a Grunt and he was healthy as ever.

  • 11.15.2010 12:07 PM PDT

H2 was impossible unless you had total recall as to where every single jackal sniper lurked. Those little vermin would drill you with nothing but head shots. You'd get killed by one, remember where he was then slowly peek around the corner to drill him first. Not the run and gun good times that Halo should be remembered for.

  • 11.15.2010 12:25 PM PDT

actually i played through on legendary and then promptly went back to combat evolved I haven't picked halo 2 up since h3 came out but I still play halo ce legendary to this day whereas halo 2 legendary wasn't fun so thats my opinion and everyone has their own opinion so I'm sorry if i started a massive flame fest

No flames. H-2 is the more difficult (for some cheap reasons). Once you get the rhythm of CE, Legendary is not easy, but, is survivable yet challenging. And both initial Halos are more quantified fun than 3, ODST and Reach put together.

Really? I was just playing CE on solo Legendary a few minutes ago, shooting grunts at mid range (i.e. very long range for an AR) and half a clip would kill them.

I'm on Two Betrayals atm and some parts of that mission are so retarded. Finish a fairly tricky part, clear out all the enemies. Should get a checkpoint. But no. Then peak around a corner to get rocketed by a swarm of flood. So annoying. AOTCR and Two Betrayals severely lack checkpoints in some spots. On the other hand, The Library gives a checkpoint every 10 seconds, even despite the fact that it's a super easy level. Bungie should have taken some checkpoints out of Library and given them to AOTCR and TB.

halo ce has the easiest campaign as long as you dont suck with the pistol. take a plasma weapon for elites and go shotgun/AR against the flood

Your 'beliefs' mean less than dick to me.

CE is ridiculously easy on legendary. One of the things I do hope they change in the unlikely event of a remake is an additional difficulty level above legendary, just b/c i'm almost bored with it.

R.I.P. Halo 2

I'm gonna agree with Chickenlittle on this one. Halo 2 was definitely the hardest.

  • 11.23.2010 9:24 PM PDT

Leader of the Deadly Viper Squad

Halo: CE was the only Halo game to have invisible Flood with shotguns that had "seek and destroy" programming. And these Flood didn't collapse with one hit.

Halo 2 is definitely a worthy argument for being harder. But if you've played it as much as I have, you know exactly what enemies are coming up next and how to deal with them. Halo 2 is very scripted.

Very true, although I beat the first level of Reach on Legendary and I didnt even know I was playing it on Legendary. I was soo happy.

Reach's overall gameplay feels somewhat easy for this Halo veteran. The larger stage battles are of the satisfying CE type, but, a lot of it feels like a push-over. Is weird; I don't know if this is the result of almost a decade of Haloing, or the game itself. Would be interested to hear what new folks to the Halo universe think.
