If you had to rate the most realistic difficulty out of the four, which would it be? Personally I would say that heroic is the most realistic, as compared to legendary where the covies are ridiculously powerful, the other ttwo difficulties are just too easy almost...

ya heroic would be the most realistic diffculty but i would say legendary on pillar of autmum and 343 gs because those two levels are way too! easy. who ever thinks easy is most realistic is a poor halo player.

Legendary of course. And if it was purely realistic one plasma hit with shields down would basically take you down. And if you read the books, it takes like 3 plasma shots to take down his shields, legendary isn't even that realistic.

I'd say heroic, but it's really hard to call any of them realistic because NONE OF IT IS REAL.

bah

If you read the books, Normal is about what real is. There are inconsistencies though, but on average, the Chief in the books is on Normal.

Now, as for the game, I'd say Easy is relalistic. Really, 2 AR bullets would kill someone easily in real life, so the difficulty that has the enemies dying the fastest is the most real.

For the Covenant killing you, Legendary is the most real. You can very easily die on Legendary.

Play Easy with 1/4 shields and health and you have a realistic game.
