Go play Halo CE Legendary. Then you will be begging for Halo 4 on legendary.


The only reason why that was a bazillion times harder was because there was only one presicion weapon so you HAD to go in close.

Honestly, this must be a joke. Child, listen, stop trying to defend yourself because clearly you are incapable of it. The only idiot in this thread is yourself, and trust me, it is obvious. So, how about you do as I asked earlier and log off, mommy and daddy wouldn't want you staying up this late.

What !? Halo 4's Legendary is hard ? is this your first Halo game or something...

I've played Halo 3, ODST, and Reach. I beat Reach and ODST on Legendary alone. Reach Legendary was pretty easy in my opinion, but that's probably because the Knights are my only issue.

It's called Artificial Difficulty OP - there aren't that many games without it nowadays.

Explain.


The term Arificial Difficulty is used when a game becomes less about about player skill and more about raising the bar of enemy AI, such as health or shielding.

In practice, you are playing the game exactly as you were on the lower difficulties, but the enemy has now got X more health and X more shields.

Not difficult, just 'more of the same'. Whereas, say, a platformer might have a difficult series of jumps to navigate (see Super Meat Boy), nowadays games just throw more enemies, or tougher enemies at the player, which objectively isn't that difficult to overcome, but the odds have been raised.

(Sorry for any mistakes - bus i'm on is shaking like crazy...)


Yup, thats how it usually is. Until some dev really makes it difficult by changing AI states, such as better AI coordination, thinking, flanking and what not. Devs will just add 2x, 3x the health of an enemy, and maybe have them deal more damage as well.

Something akin to MW2(i think) bot games on the highest settings. Where the enemies pretty much had wall hacks on lol and auto aim. Or Halo 2 auto aim to your head with snipers lol. I believe accuracy in Halo 2 was up a lot for the enemies.

Well my first run through of the campaign was on legendary.. I got the the game on the 6th of Nov. and finished on the 8th of November. I wouldn't say it's hard, it just takes a lot of patience and a cool level head

  • 11.27.2012 9:18 AM PDT

I didn't think it was that hard. The Knights just take a lot of fire to take out. As long as you kills the Watchers first it shouldn't be a problem really.

Checkpoints were VERY frequent for me. It's based on whether or not you're in an enemy's line of sight too. So... hide more. Backtrack more too if you're scared.

Prometheans are bullet sponges. It's bogus, yes. It's a cheap way to make the game harder.

... But overall? Halo 4 is really not that difficult. Just keep at it. It's not as hard as Halo: Reach, Halo: CE, or Halo 2.

Hey burrito, we was talking about you in the car last Wednesday. Thought you should know.

-Leave Promethean Knights for last, isolate them
-Use the Scattershot against them and they'll die in 2-3 hits up close
-Zoom in with your Light Rifle to make the rounds slightly more powerful
-Activate the Catch skull in levels without grunts, that way Promethean Knights become sitting ducks while throwing grenades at you
-Never get up close to a Promethean Knight wielding a Scattershot. NEVER!

Me, kmart and dragoneyes were having a discussion (after leaving a Mexican restaurant) about certain usernames that will be forever synonymous with Bungie. I was making a note how I can never see the word "Burrito" without thinking of a bomb and a mustache.

Halo 4 legendary was easy.

The only thing that was difficult was that every other grunt had an FRG, but that more annoying than difficult.

It's funny because I had this same discussion with a few friends after leaving a Mac-Dons earlier this week. How odd. They were like 'we wanted to go to Chipotle' and I protested because I don't like that place, then my gamertag was brought up to combat this, 'How do you not like Chipotle your name is burrito!' I had no response. So I talked about how he was bringing our group cohesion down. Which was funny because they were my Air Force buddies and our commander says we have no cohesion so we constantly self-evaluate our cohesion levels as a joke. If you haven't noticed, I'm rambling. But that's OK. I'm bored and I found it amusing to try and explain.

Yeah, it was pretty hard and you did have to rush a lot. It still wasn't harder than Halo 2. Walk a little Jackal Sniper. Respawn, kill that one with a BR, walk a little more Jackal Sniper. Respawn, kill them both, keep going Jackal Sniper.

Not to mention the first level is full of Elites that kick the ever-loving piss out of you.

Haha, classy. Another one that go's without saying is triple B.

This. Also Reach. I'm pretty sure they were just trying to be asshats about it in reach.

Reach's wasn't that difficult.

CE and 2 are the only two that have challenging Legendarys.
