I'm planning on playing it on Normal difficulty, the first time I put it in my 360. With Halo 1 and 2, I started playing on Easy, and I have my regrets about that.
The first time you play a game, you'll probably find more satisfaction after completing it if you really had to strain your skillz to reach its ending. Or at least put up a good fight.
So as you progress through the story, its reveilling feels like you really earned it. I'm just trying to say, that I recommend to those who played the previous games (or are playing them) on Easy, should play Halo 3 on Normal difficulty.
I know I will...

Deffinately Legendary. It makes the game so much harder. And it lasts much longer too.

I'll start off on Normal, then work my way up.

Heroic for sure. I think I ruined Halo 2 a little bit for myself by going through it on normal. It just seemed like I was running through the levels.

I"ll play it on easy when I first get it, running through all of the levels with easy enemies to kill then observe the surroundings and soak in the new Halo levels. Then I will kick it up to Normal, Heroic or whatever, then it will progress to Legendary to observe the alternae ending they most likely will include. Or atleast I hope they will include one, they are always so fun to work for and makes you feel good when people who havent beaten it with that level of difficulty don't know whats going on when you speak of it.

Legendary, then hopefully move up to "Mystic", if they implement a higher difficulty ofcourse.

EDIT: Spelling

Call me a n00b, but am I the only one who thinks that Legendary is impossible? I even have to play my butt off on Heroic...

Or am I just not really trying?

I'll play it like I played the other two Halo games. Normal, then Heroic, then Legendary.

I play normal to get the story and enjoy the atmosphere. I have to work a little bit, but it is hardly straining for me. After playing once through on Normal, I play Legendary.

I'll play on Easy first so I can find out the rest of the story, then I'll play some MP, and then I'll play higher difficulty Campaign levels.

Procrastination never ends...

Normal to get a feel for things, then Legendary.

Heroic, so I feel like I'm earning it, yet still have the replay challenge of finishing it on Legendary. For Halo my first time through was only on Normal since it was the first console shooter I had ever played. For Halo 2 I went with Heroic. It's the right amount of challenge for someone with my lack of skill without getting too frustrating.

Normal, just to try it out, then Heroic, and then Legendary.

if you play it out of the box on lengdary it will improve you skills grately. If their is one thing that i have learned about games you don't play it on easy the first time because by doing that your going to suck.

I'll try it on Legendary first, but won't continue with it unless Legendary means "complex AI with creative thought processes and decision making abilities." Hell, even if it just means "a lot more enemies with a higher ROF and increased accuracy" like in CE, I'll be happy with Legendary.

However, if it's the ridiculous "you're much weaker, they're much stronger" Legendary BS from H2, I'll cruise through on heroic, and then hit the online.

It's certainly not impossible, but it is very difficult...and not in a good way. That was actually my biggest disappointment with H2, after reading about the advanced AI, and real-time decision making, etc., it was sad that Legendary was nothing more than a few more bad guys, with increased shields, and MC with less shields...

Count me in, too. I can't even get past the first Pelican bay on Cairo Station, Heroic is just right, though.
