Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

On easy, completed it in about 3 hours, but hell, as much as i loved it before, replaying it and getting involved in the story the whole way through makes you love it even more. So much that the next day i got up at like 9 o clock (early for me lol) and played i through again

It is just a master piece

And BTW what is the big deal the the level Cortana?

Halo 3 Legendary is less frustrating than Halo 2 and a bit fairer (Jackal snipers have short attention spans, wear goggles that give away their position, Jackals suffer from battery drain) but the Brutes just aren't good replacements for Elites. Because of this, the entire Covenant falls apart and Halo 3's campaign is mediocre in terms of difficulty.

And although the Hunters had a meaner cannon, the beam was slow and they had below average tracking with it. I liked how it made the screen shake though.

Cortana is meant to be Bungie's way of showing they love us and it's supposed to be a masterpiece and for nostalgia, but I think it's just a horrific monstrosity because there's so many times when you get held up by Ranged Forms and you don't often get the chance to bypass or go around them (even worse is that they re-position themselves and absorb grenades).

Why would anyone intentionally play this campaign on easy?

Cortana freaked alot of people out, I don't know why.

So you are saying it was difficult?
I never once had a ranged form absorb a grenade. You may want to have your disc checked. If you stuck one, it died. There was no real reason to even try to get around them. There really was only 1 section where you had to run a gauntlet of them, but with the right weapons & tactics, it really wasn't a problem.

If youre having problems with ranged forms i would suggest finding a carbine, or a needler

Also, this talk of a horrific monstrosity, are you sure it doesnt look like this?

lol jks

Halo 3 is harder on higher difficulties though

It was only to see how many deaths i got, i think it was about 4

Second time through was about 2 (not including stupid marine AI killing me with a rocket launcher and purely accidental suicides)

To play or not to play....

I tried playing on easy once and it got really boring really fast. Now playing the campaign on legondary well that rocks the planet. I do understand you just wanted to mess about with campaign (hence the easy bit). Try it on legondary and you will see another level of campaign.

No, I was reinforcing a general consensus (scroll down a bit. You'll also find mention about the Ranged form absorbing a grenade while transforming).

It's that there's limited options. I would have preferred ambushing them rather than being ambushed continuously. Haven't you ever wanted sweet revenge on those things?

And I was simply stating that I don't appreciate it. It isn't that hideous. I just don't like Cortana.

Isn't as easy it sounds. Don't forget that they curl up. Needler works up close but it's not very effective medium-long range. I use the brute shot for that.

Playing style determines that...

Glitching, memorizing, testing, etc.

I've played The Covenant on Easy at least 150 times and I have extensive knowledge as a result.

I see.
I have done the same, only in Regular or Heroic with anywhere from 3-5 skulls on.
I had a habit of always running the campaign like it was a meta.

Well good for you. As much I would love to do Legendary, I have a perfectionist problem, like a disability making every task I do excruciatingly difficult.
