No difficulty is even close to canon. Plasma weapons are actually much more deadly, small arms rounds can't penetrate Mjolnir armor, enemies die from few Assault Rifle rounds anywhere in their body, Elites and Spartans are actually much more agile, engaging a Brute in hand to hand combat causes very different results than in any of the games, enemies don't actually walk against boxes/throw grenades at themselves/do anything as stupid... should I go on?
My point is that gameplay is very different from canon. If I had to say how hard fighting against the Covenant actually is, I would say Legendary, but no difficulty shows it as it actually is.
Quite correct, in one of the books a Marine takes one needler shard to the face and it's game over. In theory a dug in grunt with a volley of plasma fire could wipe out several marines.

The closest comparison would be both sides of the battlefield have their health on easy. Even less actually.
Yup, just thinking it's a shame they didn't take an idea from Rare's Goldeneye 64 and had the "007 mode" where you could alter the enemy health, damage etc - (not talking about custom games)
Such as Brute melee's are 200%, grunt health 25% etc etc
