Subject: Halo Campain Difficulties

Ok i just made this to see if its just me. But from what i have noticed (this is compared to normal). on heroic it is slightly tougher but there is a lot more enemies than normal. And on legendary there is less enemies compared to heroic but you take 4 shots total and your dead. So what do you guys think about this?

Victory is secured not from the throne but from the front lines for all those who walk the blessed path will find salvation even in death.

If you are going Up in difficulty its gonna get harder eg. Less shots till dead and more people, so its kind of usual

"In Halo 3 not all 50's were good players, but all good players were 50's."

Your opinion is invalid.

Instead of making enemies smarter in Reach Bungie just made it so they hardly ever miss.

It makes the game less challenging and more annoying.

i agree it make it so they hardly miss. but it also makes it so you are hurt more per shot. the thing that i notice is on heroic they make it tougher by adding more people where as legendary the AI can shoot you from across the map with a plasma rifle or plasma pistol and there is the same ammount of people not morre like heroic.

I said in the other thread that:

Halo 2 had the worst end level
Halo 3 was harder on Heroic than Legendary


I'm still trying to figure out how people do Halo Reach on LASO without cheating or using exploits (especially on Pillar of Autumn with the hordes of Brutes and Elites).

I love the sniper brutes armed with spikers!

I love the ghost mowing me down with godlike accuracy and damage!

I love that same elite stick me with a grenade thrown from across the level!

I love that elite I shot with 3 rockets proceed to kick me in the face for an instant kill!

I love the fact that sticking your face out, will result in instant death!

Playing by myself on legendary was not at all frustrating!

This is a sarcastic post.

Heroic is definitely the way to go if you're like me and searching for campaign kills/commendations. Legendary is a bit more difficult, forcing you to keep your head down more often to survive, but for most encounters you can really just back up even further and shoot from a distance. The fewer enemies sucks though.

And to whoever mentioned the LASO challenges, dude ... just use plasma to take down their shields. The elites are a matter of peppering with a plasma pistol and then a DMR/pistol shot to the head. The brutes are literally as easy, pepper with plasma and one sticky grenade.

I agree, legendary alone sucks, and enemy accuracy is 90% accurate
I did beat reach on legendary alone in a little over a week (go determination)
