anniversary on legendary

let me start by saying i have done halo 3 ,odst and reach on legendary …couldnt quite make it on halo wars. i thought i want all the achievements for this one so im going head first into legendary to get it out of the way and its sooooooooooooooooooo hard even the first level.i think its down to your shield not recharging without a med pack mainly. i am so far on the 4th level and im struggling to see how i will complete the later levels lol i may go bald from this!!! does anybody have any tips

Wait until you get to the Library + … Then -Yoink- gets real.

I completed the campaign on Heroic first so I could just relax and take in the visuals. Started Legendary earlier… Forgot how hard the second level was haha. Basically just keep a plasma pistol and pistol on you at all times. Don’t be afraid to take things slow (Especially with the Covenant bits), but when you get to the Flood it’s actually better to barge through them quickly or they just keep respawning.

Yah Legendary on the original game lived up to its name. It gets brutally hard at times. Now I remember why I never finished it solo on legendary before. The Installation standoff on Flawless Cowboy is brutal for me. I’m soooooo close. But it’s very hard. I love it.

Remember when games were hard?

The only thing is that the enemies can be very aggressive in Halo 1. In general the Legendary mode is easier than later games.

After halo 3, we all forgot how hard legendary was

So true.

CE Legendary is quite… Legendary. It’s tough but thankfully it’s not that bad if you take your time and plan things out. Co-oP helpful as well.

Got the game early and finished it on legendary on Monday. Probably the hardest Halo game I’ve played on legendary. I had never played CE on legendary before, just heroic.

One needs patience…a lot of it. I am currently up to the level Keyes and, from my experience, is the hardest level on Legendary thus far.

The library was okay, despite the overzealous hype about its difficultly. All you need is a shotgun and either needlers, or the AR. Couple of difficult sections (eg: the final run to the Index and waiting for the monitor to unlock a few of the doors), but it was not exceedingly difficult.

I’m kinda surprised at this game, its not at all like I remember. I’m going through with a buddy and he’s basically carrying a plasma pistol and a plasma rifle and he is shredding everything we come across.

The grunt skull is also pretty helpful. It’s a little ridiculous. You seriously need to be mindful of the blast zone.

I remembered this game as basically grunts everywhere and bullets flying. There’s a lot more elites than I thought.

Still, we made it through the first 3 levels last night on Legendary in about 90 minutes and got some noteable achievements doing so, including the beached one on Silent Cartographer on our first try. Then we called it a night.

After Halo 2. I still say that CE’s Legendary is harder. The snipers in H2 are the only thing that are difficult.

In CE you have a ton of enemies that come at you at once. And with the world being so open, if you get cornered you are so boned. And when you do have AI help, they die off SUPER quick. Then you couple this with the fact that you don’t have as many weapon choices as you do in later games and health is hard to find, you have one of the hardest games in history.

this is how every halo campaign should have been. I am having fun again. Something I didn’t have with al the bad campaigns that came out the last years.

I also forgot how hard Halo ce legendary was. But after the first level everything came back to me in an instant :smiley:
