Before halo 4 launched i saw videos of Frankie stating that Heroic is the new legendary and that the real legendary is harder then any halo game has ever been. After having just finished the campaign on legendary i find myself confused.
At some points i got stuck for a while, but it wasnt nearly as hard as for instance halo 2. To be honest… legendary was kinda easy…
U dont really have a massive amount of enemies and after u get used to the promethean knights they arent that hard at all. U can basically rush in with a shotgun and kill them in 2 shots up close.
Still a good game though 
to bad i finished this fast, only got the game today 
all he said was that normal was the new heroic
Hmm i thought that ment heroic would be the new legendary and legendary would therefor be “mythic?”.
Still dissapointed with it though, wasnt very hard compared to other halo’s
I am certain Thunderstorm and/or Mythic skulls (craniums) are enough to get the difficulty needed for some, without going into the Mythic difficulty.
I propose at least Catch, Thunderstorm, Mythic with Legendary if you’re looking for a challenge that isn’t silly.

when a dev talks about the difficulty of a game and he doesn’t play exceptionally well when he demonstrates it, take it for granted. When another dev plays it and also doesn’t do very well, that basically confirms that the game isn’t that hard. Besides, his post was referring to newer players if I’m not mistaken.

it’s a shame that the enemies seem to stand still often. Crawlers and Watchers ultimately become moving targets that detract from the Knights (this is based on observation as I haven’t played it yet).
-
seriously, no massive amount?! I thought the Watchers spawned Crawlers? Please don’t tell me it’s like the infection forms in Halo 3 which only went for the bodies if there weren’t a lot of combat forms.

yeah I saw rushing in some Legendary gameplay videos. The Knights aren’t as punishing up close as I expected/led to believe. 
Just 2 melees after their shield is gone and they’re dead. Though I hear the Commanders can repulse melee attackers. Is that true?

Catch will never make the game harder (the enemies stand still when throwing it not to mention they aren’t shooting you). It just makes it random.
On the other hand, the Promethean grenade is more effective than plasmas so I could be wrong. I hope I am wrong so that Catch doesn’t end up making the game a joke again.
I’ve died a lot on Normal, so i don’t know what you’re talking about.
I spent WAY too long on Forerunner set on Legendary. Damn knights take a ton of ammo to kill. I still have yet to be able to sneak up on one for an assassination.
