Has 343i said anything about the standard difficulty in Halo 4? For Halo 3, ODST, and Reach it was Heroic, but I read that Heroic will be significantly harder than it was in past Halo games. Can anyone confirm this or say which difficulty is the standard difficulty?
I think Normal is the standard difficulty.
You’re letting the whole “this is Halo as it’s meant to be played” thing get to your head.
I’d still say Heroic, the reason this one is harder is because of new enemy strategies and offensive styles. Once you learn how to counter it should be pretty similar.
(This is my speculation on multiple quotes from a few different people)
We have yet to see the descriptions for these difficulties. As for the whole heroic being harder thing, I’m not so sure. When Reach was coming out shishka said it took him 4 hours to beat the sabre part on legendary. When I played it, I didn’t die once.
My guess it would remain heroic even though it is a little more difficult. However there has been no confirmation
Hmm… I’m not certain. Frankie did indeed say that “Normal is the new Heroic,” so I’ll hazard a guess that Normal would be the standard. Then again I usually play on Normal on my first play-through anyway, so I might be a little biased…
And I agree with The Alcotai–I don’t believe there really is a “right way” to play Halo, honestly.
HERESY! Halo shall only be played on Heroic.
Thanks. I find Heroic to be my most comfortable difficulty and that’s how I played my first play-throughs for Halo 3, ODST, and Reach. I just didn’t want to start with Halo 4 on Heroic, only to have my butt kicked the whole time.
I don’t know, but when I first play it I will beat it on Normal.
