Im sure this is probably true for a lot of us 'die hard Halo players' out there. I know it's true enough for me: that playing through Halo on 'Legendary' gets easier the more we go through it. Partly because loners spending endless hours in their dark rooms till the early hours of the morning, (memorizing enemy locations, what weapons they carry and what not) because that WILL get you better, heh...(most of us can say from experience *looks around awkwardly "Im not the only 'Halo is my religion' worshiper, right?") Anyway, back to the point...after going through countless times on legendary, it gets easier, but is it too easy? Or should there simply be another level to go through (e.g.- "Halo GOD!"), making it nearly impossible. I know if that feature was on Halo, a lot more of us couldn't say "I'v gone through the game on all difficulty levels". I'm just kinda curious, because I personally think that either Legendary should be little harder, or there should be a whole new difficulty setting.

I hate everything, but it's not my fault.

I think the gap between Heroic and Legendary is too big. I enjoy playing heroic, but I've only managed to beat the pillar of autumn and the maw on legendary. But maybe I just suck.

I love the difficulty of Legendary although I only ever play it for any legnth in co-op. Heroic is better, simply because your marines stick around a little longer. But I think the difficulty settings are all perfect. Heroic is awsome fun for veterans, and Legendary is a nice challenge.

Me and my mate love playing Co-op Heroic, its awsome. In fact we've decided that the first time we play through halo 2 we're going to do it co-op heroic, it will add to the intensity of what will be an allready amazing game.

I've done the 1st 4 levels and the Maw on Legendary, and done every level in every other difficulty, but yes, i do agree that once you have played a level on legendary, it does get easier. And i don't think it's just you learning new skills. I think it's the game that gets easier.

To truly understand Halo's advanced AI you have to beat it on legendary.

I almost forgot to add....with the exception of 'Library', haha....because only once have I gone through the first 4 levels on legendary without dying, then i got a plasma grenade stuck to me....lets just say some neighbor kids learned to 'expand their vocabulary' after the grenade incident....anywho, besides library being the worst of the Halo levels, it's the hardest, (maybe that's also why it's the worst, i dont know). I can't get through library withough dying at least 3 or 4 times, but other than that, I see the other nine levels becoming way easier than they ever should after a while.

I think it's just right. It was hard the first time I played through the game on it. Hard, not impossible. Of course it gets easier the more one plays it, that is just common sense.

I think they should either make legendary harder or have a auto difficulty change when playing co-op.

Legendary must stay the way it is, or make it a little harder. But certainly not any easier.

I don't think there should be a whole new difficulty level, I think it's pretty much spot on the way it was in Halo 1. It did get a little easy after playing it through a lot of times though.

"The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing." Albert Einstein
"You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty." Gandhi

They need to make a special co-op difficulty. Even on legendary, I find it easy with co-op.

Maybe they should make it so you don't respawn, but you can save. It always seemed a little silly to me, that if one of you die in co-op, all the other one has to do is leave combat, and you return to the world of the living.
