With regards to Frankie's most recent update:

The event was long enough for people to finish the game on NORMAL difficulty level, but then go back and try HEROIC: "Wow, that was freakin' hard!" And then they tried LEGENDARY: "What is wrong with you people!?" We should note that nobody completed it on LEGENDARY or frankly, more than a couple of levels. LEGENDARY is a whole new sick twist on game difficulty. LEGENDARY includes bizarre stuff like perma-death for co-op players — meaning that you can't hopscotch like you can on other difficulty levels. Once a player dies on LEGENDARY, both players are hurled back to the last checkpoint. It's brutal. Also, that place where you encountered two grunts and a flowerpot on NORMAL? Well now they're Hunters, high-ranking, sword-carrying Elites, and they're all PMS-ing. Seriously, sticking your head around a corner on level two can get it shot clean off.

I'm not intimidated in the least. Remember trying to get by the cafeteria in POA for the first few times playing Legendary, and how it made you want to cry? Most of us grew out of it, even if it DID take days. And I want to take my time with Halo 2. I've also been creating a tactical walkthrough for Legendary, based on everything we know about the game at the moment (weapons, vehicles, enemies, etc...this does NOT include leaked info of course).

My theory is Legendary will allow you to enjoy the plot even more...it amplifies your feelings of being outmanned and outgunned, and nothing is more rewarding than fighting your way through the most intelligent A.I. in the entire video game industry. I don't advocate speed runs on Legendary though. MAKE SURE to take your time, enjoy yourself, and savor every aspect of the Halo 2 plot.

Vote and discuss. :)

P.S. For whatever reason, I thought I was posting in the New Mombasa forum...still vote, it's a community poll, but I won't make this mistake again. :/

The 1st Halo on Legendary was hard enough...thats why I cant wait for Halo 2 and see how hard it will be. Honestly, Legendary mode is probably the hardest thing I have ever experienced.
