My recommendation to Bungie/Microsoft is that they reward a player who completes Halo 3 at legendary with 2000 or more credits on XBOX Live Marketplace, etc. They could even provide lesser awards for other levels of acheivement. If they did this they would be the first to provide tangible rewards for gameplay....This could become a model for other games and game developers to follow, but they would be the first !

It's all about the money. Since you have to buy your Marketplace credits that is how MS and developers can get paid for giving you the DC that they put out. That stuff takes time and money to create, so I don't see it happening in the near future.

The campaign over all was garbage in halo2, but ya, Bungie should take some nods to halo1's legendary style rather than just jacking up the damage the enemies dealt to maximum.

I agree, i think that there should just be more enemies, that are smarter, use stronger weapons and are more accurate. Of course there are also a ton of other things they can do and hopefully with the power of the 360 they will be able to get away from just putting the damage rate (or w/e you want to call it).

Lets hope Bungie see's this thread.

I would like there to be an unlockable level. Higher than Legendary, because quite simply, Legendary on H2 was TOO EASY.

And I know this idea kind of clashes but... I would like there not to be a restart at checkpoints when someone dies. This just gets frustrating when the other isn't as good as you.

I thought that Halo 2's Legendary was MUCH easier than Halo 1's. When I played Halo 1 a lot, I did get good enough to where I wouldn't die in the levels, but in Halo 2, I didn't have as much of a hard time as I thought I would.

I played Halo 2 Legendary FIRST, so I didn't know what to expect when I first played. I did die a few times, but mostly because of the snipers, and me not knowing where they were to begin with. Once I knew, it wasn't hard, just annoying, lol. I played halo 2 legendary with and without the noob combo, and both times were easy (the noob combo made it childs play... lol...) I've beaten it several times since then, of course.

I think Halo 3's diffuculty should be increased. Possibly have:

Easy
Normal
Heroic
Legendary
Covenant

I don't know, I think it seems to fit. Your difficulty is the Covenant, the full might and force of the Covenant religious armada. You stand between the survival and extinction of the human race, and all that is living. Plus, covenant means "promise" I think. We promise you you'll have a hard time with this one ^^. lol

They also need to add a badge or a reward of some kind of beating either the harder "Legendary" or the new diffulty level. I hated when people would say "Oh yeah! I beat Halo 1 and 2 easy!" When they're still having a hard time on normal... I think that if you beat Legendary, or whatever, players are able to view that you beat it. This will also make people want to play the actual missions. I know some people that only played multiplayer. So if they haven't beaten Legendary or whatever yet, you have bragging rights to say "You haven't beaten Legendary yet? Why are you on here? Beat it already you n00b!" lol. That'll get 'em to play the missions. ^^

no restart when the other guy dies, legendary closer to H1 but with more checkpoints and a longer campaign which doesn't in a cliffhangerrr. Also i will love to do just air battles you know take over the covenant drop ships or infiltrate the covenant Capital ship and kill all of the covenant inside something like that you know not just the ground battle like always i mean in life to win a war u have got to win the war in the ground and in the air. HOPE this one is as GOOD as it has to be don't leave questions unanswered take as long as you want but make this one really good to finish a great trilogy.

halo 2 legendary mode was great, the only thing i didnt like was the drones and snipers. other than that it ruled all over the place. and they need to make a harder mode than legendary, like pump in alot more covenant.


Sniper jackals = not fun

Constantly respawning vehicles = not fun

One hit kill melees = not fun

Considering the frustration caused by sniper jackals et al, I don't think you can say H2's campaign ruled.


H3's legendary needs the intense gameplay from CE (no filler), and to ditch the checkpoint co-op rule. If players want to 'cheat' through legendary, let them instead of forcing players to play the way you [Bungie] want.

Did anyone ever play Halo 2's Legendary mood in Co-Op. It was aweful. I have never played Halo: CE or Halo 2 Legendary by myself, but with a buddy and it was so frustrating in 2 that once the other person died, the entire two man team reverts to the last checkpt. I think that should change back to Halo 1 and if they wanted to use the same method in Halo 3 as they did in Halo 2, then they should make the Covenant difficult or whatever tehy want to call it.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

I think thet there should be unlockable alternate ending, and behind the scenes stuff, game pictures/themes and stuff that you unlock if you beat the game on Legendary.

Maybe you can get Achievement points too =D

Also, track all the difficulties you beat the levels on like they did in Halo 1!! that was so cool having 3 Emblems on each level when I scroll through...

Also, I can't stand the vertical levels list..I hope the feel of the menus is like Halo 1's

And the Party system should stay just the same for Halo 3 as it is in Halo 2, this is the main reason I don't play many other games on Live - It all seems so primitive compared to Halo 2 =D



..Those are just some of my thoughts..


P.S. just thought of this, imaging the Delevelers/Griefers in Online Co-op...that will be really frustrating especially on Legendary...

Okay, halo's legandary was awesome except that they took out way to many checkpoints in between battles....halo 2's was horrible....If one person dies that is no reason for the other person to have to die as well, but on the other hand they did solve the checkpoint problem....So I guess make it more like the origonal halo but with a little more checkpoints lol.


"Maybe you just suck. That's why."

No, just kidding, but uh, how long will that name of yours last? It's clearly a slightly modified slang term..

Anyway, onto the point, I personally loved both Legendary settings in the games. Bungie, keep on doing what you've done. I hart it.

Ummmmmm...














I want uh legendary that you can blow stuff up and stuff, and uh, can shoot baddies with a gun with freakin infinity bullets and uh, can also throw acid on people and it burns them and uh I don't ever die because the legendary would let me and I want ummmmm, a uh, ummmmmmm, cool stuff to be in the game and it look like I'm playing a movie because I won't have a controller becuz it hooks directly into my brain and if I have to take a poop it takes one in the game for me so I never poop my pants in this game like I did in the last one. And I can have the chainsaw like in San Andreas and can chop up stuff, then I could get more points, and uh, If i wanted a pizza I could get the mutant turtles to come up in the sewers and give me won, and they would fight for me, but my experience would still go up even if I was pooping in the game, and then I could like sleep in the game so I didn't have to in real life, but I wouldn't have to shower because thats just a waist of time period! and so anyway, basically I just want the game to suck a lot less and every time on live the little kids don't scream at me and say bad werds at me like we1ner and say bo0b13s a lot because my mom says that those are bad bad things and that little boys shouldn't want either one of those bad bad things and that when the little kids do say those bad things I can switch my weapon to a bible and convert them and then they'll fight for me with the turtles. Thats all I ever wanted. Thank you.

I think the key component here is equality. "Equality?" you say, "jeez Qa Plar its a video game not a civil rights movement" but actually equality and evenness is actually a really integral factor to the best games.

<<<<<<<THIS IS LONG, SCROLL DOWN FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT PART>>>>>>> (if you're lazy)

Basicallly, what made Halo's legendary mode so great, and so challenging, was that you were really only as good as a Gold Elite. I played that game to death, like i'm sure tons of you did, and i realised that only in Legnendary mode is the Master Chief on par with an enemy, in terms of health, movement speed, abilities etc.

You had roughly just as much health and shield as any elite you'd face, slightly more than red and blue, but like exactly the same as a gold or black, and what thats part of what made it so great. and what made Halo 2's legendary a comparatively lackluster experience.

You weren't as strong as the enemies you were facing, fighting an Elite was virtually suicide, even with the element of surprise and some strategy if you're not outgunning one of them its back to the last checkpoint for you; and that was one on one. And brutes would just outclass you completely.

Ok, AI and -blam!- needs to be calibrated for legendary, bungie knows that but here we go

<<<<<MY MOST IMPORTANT PART!! >>>>>>>>

MC's health/shield should be on par with an Elite's!!!

<< <<<MY MOST IMPORTANT PART>>> >>>>>

now i'm no sissy when it comes to video games. I like a challenge. And i did complete Halo 2 on legendary. But it wasn't fun. It was painfully irritating. It wasn't dying, respawning, and trying a cool new smarter strategy, and my skill increasing with each death, like Halo. No. Halo 2 was die, respawn, die, respawn, die, respawn, until i've memorised the choreography of the upcoming fight scene. Legendary just wasn't fun. Halo (1)'s legendary almost felt real. Like, thats how it would be if i really was the Master Chief. Wow. sounding kind of crazy. But i reckon you'll all know what i mean. Gimme a hell yeah, if you agree then maybe Bungie will notice this and not -blam!- up halo 3's legendary mode.

Well said, above poster. H3 needs a legendary like that, instead of fighting elites/brutes that kill in a single hit, or endless ghosts/banshees that keep respawning when destroyed.

The legendary is fine in Halo 2, takes team work. Plus legendary isn't as hard as you think, I've completed it on my own. Just need the PP.

Thanks,

I agree, the Gamerscore thing is a good idea, but unless you're trying to win some contest, it doesn't do anything. Microsoft needs to make a transfer system to turn Gamer Points into Microsoft Points, so that we get an actual reward for playing their games for extended periods of time, I think my level 32 Oblivion character shouldn't have to pay for that Horse Armor :P. So I think it'd be something interesting if they incorporated a tangible reward in Halo 3.

This would help me out financially a lot. I spend wayyyy too much money on Depends.

I have other things to spend money on. False teeth just don't fall out of the sky now do they?
