I'm sure everyone has heard of this difficulty skull, making opponets two times as strong. I believe it should be a new difficulty in Halo 3 after you beat Normal or higher. Much like other games like Jedi knight. It would be an extra challenge with:
* Easier to kill
* Enemies twice as strogn and twice as numerous.
* Less allies.
* No powerups(if they are integrated in the Campaign).
* Time ode(optional, turn it on to beat a certain checkpoint within an amount of time).
* Higher ranking enemies.
* Enemies use stronger weaponry(IE Instead of an Elite using a Plasma Rifle Duel Brute Plasma Rifles)
* Less vehiciles.
* Enemies are more aware of your presense.
* No sleeping Grunts.


You can't say that's not hard. That would be the most challenging thing since Avadox(olf NES game that was nearly impossible to beat). THat would be so interesting. And challenging. Add to the list if you want, just don't make it too hard(like adding shields that don't recharge, that would be going to far).

There should be a reward too, maybe like a hidden gallery or cenimatic.

Um, legendary in Halo 2 wasnt hard enough for you? Im thinking that legendary is as far as we need to go. A Mythic difficulty would just make it impossible to beat.

I thought it was hard, some others can beat it in an hour. MYthtic would solve that. Many people more skilled than I beat it easy. They need more of a challenge.

PLus it would give gamerscore points on Xbox Live. A lot of them...

I dont care if it would balance out others. Then what about those who can beat that in an hour? The game gets another difficulty.

The only reason those people can beat it so fast is becuase of a) modding and b) glitches in the campaign. They dont play the actual campaign, they just breeze through it.

The legendary on Halo 2 was incredibly difficult. The enemies just dont die that easily. They werent any smarter or dummer, and there werent that many of them to be honest. THEY JUST DIDNT DIE. Im thinking that a Mystic difficulty would make it MUCH harder than that, and i wont be able to finish the game. Everyone should have a chance to finish the game competely, not just a select few.

Then go on a lighter difficulty.You don't have to beat it on the hardest mode.

But the thing is i WANT to beat it all the way through, and what happens if i cant? That isnt my fault if it is impossible for me and half the country to beat the game completely.

It is a real accomplishemnt to beat the game on every difficulty, it is what you strive for. Halo 2 had a crappy storyline and an incredibly difficult legendary, so i gave up on doing that. I did do it for Halo 1 though (not for the library, hated that level). I want to be able to do that for halo 3 without hitting a roadblock. A game can only be so difficult.

Legendary wasn't that hard, I beat it without the "noob" combo or friend, no glitching or modding. Harder is allways better

So.. how long did it take you to beat?

  • 06.27.2006 12:42 PM PDT

HHDDVVDDBVD 692 others

OK, yes, it is very true that I'm a dumb ass. I'm not denying that. However, isn't the whole point of a beta to increase the amount of users until you get someone dumb enough to try something you haven't anticipated.

I believe it should be a new difficulty in Halo 3 after you beat Normal

yes i think after normal is beat would be the best time to unlock this mode. how about legenary beat?

(i forgot that this forum once supported colors)

Why do people consider this part hard? The real hard parts are Drones and Snipers.

May be challenging, but after a whiloe you can overcome it I still find these parts hard, but I still use a strategy to get by. Wroks sometimes, each death you have to tweak the strategy, making you think. Oh and Snipers will miss about a third of the time, Drones are only really killable with a Carbine Brute Shot or Sniper. But you usually have one of those at hand.

Yeah, i just dont like playing a game where i die about every 20 feet. Sure, it is beatable, but it is insanely difficult to beat without dying at almost every other encounter with an enemy. Sure, trial and error, but that can get old after 10 or 15 levels of 10 or 15 deaths each.
