This is Poppy of Sniper Gods. I had the idea of making a poll to see what level was more difficult for others when playing HALO on legendary difficulty by themselves. If you never have beaten the game on legendary by yourself, then just say what level you and your buddy had a hell of a time getting through. Please include a post if you have the time explaining what part made you want to rip the hair clear off your head. Sorry about not being able to fit all nine levels. But I squeezed'm in on #7-#8.

For me? Well I have beaten the game on legendary at least 2 times in my infinate boredom, and about 5 with friends. For me by myself, I found the Truth and Reconciliation to be the biggest headache spawner of all time. The beggining was the hard part, trying to get to the gravity lift and into the ship.

Mostly because of the spaced out checkpoints that made it hard to fight for outdoor combat. The hardest part though was the area before the gravity lift and the gravity lift area. The main problem was I kept running out of sniper rifle ammunition, so I had to resort to other weapons. But I eventually made it through. The area after the gravity lift was a pretty bad too. Grenades would go off left and right, marines would be flying through the air. Enough to give me flashbacks. Bah!

The shuttle bay was pretty annoying too, but after that it was easier. Damn you Keyes! I'm glad your dead!...Well...maybe I don't mean that...

Truth and Reconciliation has been agreed to as the most annoying legendary level ever. Heroic can be fun though. I always shoot Keyes with a sniper rifle right before the cutscene is triggered.

You probably should have left out The Pillar of Autumn and Silent Cartographer, because of their rediculous easiness.

You've got to think crazy, of course, because you only get innovation by refining insanity. - Jason Jones

i voted keys/maw, but just for the keyes part cuz the maw is easy, keyes is the hardest for me, i alwayd play by myself and its just wave after wave of covenatnt and flood, you beat the covenant and here come flood and lots of them before you can get a health or reload and get ready. I have beaten legendary at least six or seven times by myself and a couple times i helped a friend on his xbox beat it.

Keyes was a pain in the ass. I would just try and charge through them if possible. Sometimes its the only way out due to lack of ammo and stuff like that.

Gotta be Two Betrayals. The level is really long and everything wants to kill you. The really hard part about it is the final run.It took me about two days to get past that part.

I voted for the truth and reconciliation just because of the part befor the grave lift i can get rid of the first elite that comes through the door but once multiple invisible/gold sworded elites come out and kill my men it gets annoying

I think AOTCR is the hardest level. I think Truth and reconciliation is easy.

and the thing i always wondered is how does "THE SARGE" (aka. sergeant Johnson) always come back to life if you see him dead in one level the next level you see him alive. And if you look at a group of marines he is almost always there. its strange

Honestly I find 343 Guilty Spark the most fun, an even combination of both covenant and flood, and I despise the map Halo. I know it is an easy map but it takes too long, so in the long run I end up shooting all of the Marines and, if in co-op, killing my team mate be running of the cliff.

actually I found Halo to be a -blam!-. its trying to save the marines who just run right at elites. *sigh*. weird thing is i hammerd the silent chartographer, AOTCR, Guilty Spark and ive done alot of the library but thats doing my head in atm.

Voted for T&R tho. oh the horror, i dunno if im gonna do that by the 11th.

The only hard part on the HALO level is the first group of Marines. My problem is running out of ammo on there. AOTCR was actually pretty easy. Tight hallways and rooms=lethel grenade blasts. Plus it keeps the enemy from surrounding out. Outside was easy too because of the vehicles. I think AOTCR is the most enjoyable level on legendary to me.

for me the hardest level was the pillar of autum or howevr u spell it because i went from playin easy and normal and skipped heroic cuz i figured legendary wuld be easy and on the pillar of autum i would estimate at least 50 deaths. after that i went over and beat heroic and started playin mass system link games wit sum frends and now i can beat legendary no problem but that is why pillar of autum is the hardest legendary level

i love halo legendary i completed it more dan 40 times, its easy now, truth and reconciliation used 2 be the hardest for me, but its easy now, and its got to be two betrayals or the library, i actually really like the library because it is so hard. i refuse to play on any setting other than legendary, hope in halo 2 it really is hardcore

Whats really funny, I went on this forum today to ask this very question. But my hardest would be T&R. Oh the horror...... The marines are suicidal with grenades.The maw was surprisingly easy, the library long, 343 tense, Keyes is hard, AOTCR is just fum, SC and POA are easy, and Halo is kind of hard.

dude how can you evenn put the maw and keyes together. keyes is definatly the hardest just because of the last part. the part where you have to get to the banshee is by far the hardest to get through without dying
