CoD is a good game, even if the Halo series are better in some aspects. Anyone who insults either is just bad in that game. Grow up.

None. Heroic difficulty only describes the canonical damage that the shield can take. (On either sides, I believe) But you have to take into account of all the other things Bungie did not fit into the FPS game. Taking Cover...Way faster and longer Sprint that is not AA...super fast reaction speed. Halo should have been played more like F.E.A.R. in terms of Spartan capabilities. Keyword more like, not exactly as.
Gameplay>canon though.
Adding a cover system to a game slows it way down and promotes camping from behind cover/around corners. Bungie has said that Heroic is the "canon" difficulty, so that's what the answer is since Bungie created the canon and has the final say in that matter.
More like gameplay =/= canon. There is no possible way to make players move like the Spartans do to an effective manner, add to that human exploitation of game mechanics and you have a problem. Either way, heroic is only canonical for the shielding.
Bungie can say what they want, but when it's a proposition of an idea relating to a story, they don't own that particular train of thought.
To guy above me: Spartans have never been portrayed as impressively in game as they are in novels. Emile's death was retarded, but if you want to details on that go to the last few pages of the "Unexplained errors in halo canon" thread, I've repeated it too many times.
