"It will not be we who reach Alpha Centauri, and the other nearby stars, it will be a species very like us, but with more of our strengths and fewer of our weaknesses, more confident, far-seeing, capable, and prudent. For all our failings, despite our limitations and fallibilities, we humans are capable of greatness."-Carl Sagan

Over the past 2 weeks I have finished Halo 3, ODST and Reach all on Legendary alone.

And I was in the mood for trying CE on Legendary for the first time. And I can't fight my way out of the POA.

"Getting beat with a wet noodle and chained to a computer desk in bungies mop closet."
On that day all my aspirations will be fulfilled

Actually i find halo ce legendary the easiest just use cover and grenades youll be fine. Also dont take on any elites head on. Use guerilla tactics kill a few fall back, kill a few fall back eventually there numbers will dwindle POA shoudnt be that hard. i actually beat POA on legendary the other day.

Actually, I find that I'm more invincible without pants, which is why I am not wearing any at the moment.

Im having trouble on Heroic.

That's because this game makes you think instead of memorize. Learn some strategies and you'll be fine.

POA is easy on Legendary. CE is probably the least difficult (Not that it isn't still difficult) Legendary in the series.

Reach was by far the easiest.

Really? I thought Halo 2 was the easiest.

Add me to your friends list if you haven't already. It's a lot more fun to play with people from The Maw and people I know than random noobs.

Halo 3 was legendary was really easy, haven't tried Reach yet.

Halo CE was tough

Halo 2 was also bad with the Jackal snipers and all.

I would have to say Halo 2 is the most difficult, followed closely by Halo 1. Halo 3 all you had to do was use a plasma pistol and BR and you could walk through the campaign.

THATS MY COOL MAN I CAN'T TAKE IT OFF!

I can do most of this game's legendary while drunk and blindfolded.

Yeah this. But you can take on 1-2 Elites headon if you have any of these: plasma pistol, plasma rifle, needler

So you didn't notice how fast the enemies were?

Berserking Brutes were erratic.
Panicking Grunts were erratic.
Jackals dive like acrobats.

Compare that to Halo 1's AI.

Berserking Elites were ridiculously easy to dispatch.
Panicking Grunts ran so slowly.
Although Jackals had it set so they dive from grenades and vehicles more, their AI perception wasn't near omniscient like in Halo 3. I saw a Jackal looking back at me (I was slightly peeking out of cover) while he was facing the other direction. Also, they were slower and their dive looked clumsy.

Anyways, if there's any game that's sadistic, it's Halo 3 and Halo: Reach. Both feature fast enemies, both feature near omniscient enemies, both have bad friendly AI, and both have unbalanced weapons. I say Reach is far more worse because of vehicle health and no accompanying hud (I can tell by the smoke, but it's not that reliable) and the unneeded limits imposed for most weapons and vehicles.

Plasma grenades do more than either. If we're inside and I have stickies, everyone's boned.

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And she's buying a stairway to heaven

i found an entire guide on youtube for it (53 vids, ~10 mins each) that is VERY good
it's by "ForumsExtremeDotCom" (<<< youtube name not a site)
and one thing that's different from all the other halo's is tyhat if you shoot them they will turn to you, you can then walk around behind them and they will be facing the direction they last saw you

I <3 Bungie

It took me 6 days (not solid play) to beat it on Legendary on the xbox and 8-9 days (not solid play) to beat it on my laptop. Just don't go rambo, kill grunts when they are alone or in 2s or Jackals are easy just kill them. Elites you need to take down one at a time and use grenades. Hunters.....lots of grenades and rockets.

Yeah I've seen that. Pretty solid walkthrough, gave me a few ideas (I for one had never even thought of using the warthog turret to destroy the wraith in two betrayals). I think he's a bit more prudent and stingy about battles than is really necessary though.

It's not camping, it's holding the designated location.

Just preorder it and turn on the grunt funeral skull, just kill one grunt run away and let the body take out the rest off them.
