Halo 2

Jackal Snipers are way to accurate. In an area in Halo 2, I killed 15 Jackal Snipers before it was safe.


Halo 3 and ODST were the easiest campaigns on Legendary.


ODST on Legendary was a joke:
Magnum, Carbine, Sniper Rifle, or Beam Rifle, plus a plasma pistol for noob combo kills Brutes, Grunts, Jackals, Engineers, and Drones. The only time you really need anything other than that setup is for the pair of Hunters on ONI Alpha Site, but this is easy as you start out with a Spartan Laser. You can just run around the other Hunters in the campaign.

Halo CE, the flood in that game was epicly hard in my opinion. There was one level in Halo 2 that was dificult(the one on high charity i forgot the name to), for me that was because it was dark and being partially colorblind didnt help at all. ODST was fail and Halo 3 was all for one and one for all cutscenes(they were awesome)

Halo 2 campaign on Legendary was by far the most difficult for me. The other Halos had some difficult parts in them, but in Halo 2 it almost seemed like a constant state of struggle, throughout most of the missions.

There were parts of Halo 3 where The Flood posed a challenge. Especially in the section of Cortana where you drop down and have to fight uphill against a whole mess of them.

Though the morrow may be barren of promises, nothing shall forstall my return.

Halo 2 legendary is the hardest. Reach's legendary is only tough if you have skulls on (my opinion). Halo 1 would be a close second though. Btw, plasma pistol is your best friend in H1 legendary.

  • 12.14.2010 8:33 PM PDT

Halo 2 was the toughest, not because the AI was constantly trying to outsmart you, but because the damage they could do was a little crazy. Jackal Snipers were also a real pain. Sure, you could memorise their locations, but one second too long and you were back at the last checkpoint. On the level Metropolis, in the area where Sgt. Stacker is driving round in circles, there are twenty of the damn things.

Halo:CE Legendary was too easy.
Halo:2 Legendary was.. Legendary. Haven't tried it in a few years, but last time I did play Halo:2 on Legendary it was.. too hard?
Halo:3 Legendary was harder than Halo:CE but easier than Halo:2.
Halo3: ODST Legendary.. Same as Halo:3.
Halo:Reach Legendary.. Harder than Halo:CE, Halo:3 and Halo3:ODST but a little easier than Halo:2.

P.S. Again, I haven't played Halo:2 since Halo:3 came out, and I haven't played Halo:CE Since late 2005, early 2006. Skills improved.. Ect. Might be able to complete Halo:2 with ease now.

So far the hardest has been Reach, not the best but the hardest with the new AI.

I see the votes and I don't believe it, Halo 2 Campaign is way easier than Halo 3 campaigns but that's just me.

Halo 2 i think is widely regarded as the hardest on legendary. Reach was easy because i could hide behind my invincible team.

  • 12.15.2010 12:01 AM PDT

Halo 2 is definitely the toughest to get through.


I'd argue Halo 1 challenges the player the most though; its gameplay on Legendary is very dynamic, and requires thought and aggression even if it isn't really all THAT "hard" compared to Halo 2.

They achieved interstellar flight and left Earth. The intelligent ones left after killing all of the stupid dinosaurs.

From hardest to easiest IMO

1.Halo 2
2.Halo CE
3.ODST
4.Halo 3
5.Reach

I didn't find Reach to be very hard, seeing as you can use the DMR to kill elites

In Halo 3, you can use the BR to kill brutes. With less shots and less dodging.

From hardest to easiest: 2,1,R,3,O.

  • 12.15.2010 5:36 AM PDT

Supreme Dictator, Industrial Polluter, Megalomaniac, Corrupt Politician, Underhanded Reprobate, Rainforest Ravager, Puppy Kicker, Oil Spill Coordinator, Holiday Hater, and an Insurance Salesman.

That's my list exactly. Halo 2 gets bonus difficulty points for Co-op for the linked lives.

Die? Haven't you heard? Spartans never die.

I always thought CE was more difficult, because it was the first FPS I had ever played. I had issues with the whole first person perspective. Before CE I only play third person adventure games, and I wasn't used to not see everything around me.

  • 12.15.2010 7:32 AM PDT

Reach then CE

OP here.

I was doing some messing around today in Halo: Reach and found the following about the number of headshots you need to kill Elites with a DMR:

Major (orange ones): 10
Ultra (white ones): 13
General (yellow ones): 15

So how does this compare to using the BR against Elites in Halo 2 on Legendary?

So according to the data from the poll right now it seems that in terms of hardest campaign (1 hardest, 5 easiest), the order is:

1. Halo 2
2. Halo CE
3. Halo: Reach
4. Halo 3: ODST
5. Halo 3

Chronological Order. Reach is a joke when it comes to campaign difficulty. Beat Legendary on my first run through in a short amount of time.

I had the exact same experience as you the first time I played through the Reach campaign on Legendary. Did you get stuck anywhere for a brief bit or did you just blaze your way through without any trouble?

halo 2. I found halo reach to be one of the easiest.

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

I actually found ODST pretty hard. Either for the reason that I was a noob, or the reason that the reddening of the screen is much scarier than having a shield bar in the corner go beep beep beep. When I played halo 2 on legendary (finally) I didn't think it was so hard. If I got killed by the snipers, I'd just memorize where they are so I can destroy them.

On solo legendary was the most hardest on Halo 2.
It was fun though.

Member of team Master Theory.

17th Mythic Conqueror of Halo 3.
5th Mythic Conqueror of ODST.
If you would like to know more about Mythic difficulty please go to this thread. Thank you.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

Halo 2 by far. It was ridiculous on Legendary.
