So I’m currently playing through halo 5 on legendary solo (I already did it coop) buy I noticed that even after the patch (which helped a lot), halo 5 is still WAY too hard on legendary, id even say that it’s HARDER than halo 2 (we all know how that was). And before you say: “you just need to get better at the game” I am pretty good and have complete ALL other games on legendary and yes they have been challenging but other than 2, they werent been complete bulls***. Some parts of Halo 5 are unpassable unless you get lucky.
Anyway, share your comments and concerns down below and let’s make halo great again!
It’s tough but it’s not invincible. Just figure out some solid strategies for whatever parts are difficult to you. Some tips:
- Use your squad: I know that they are incredibly stupid some times… but use them. Direct them, and have them pick up power weapons if possible. You can use them to distract, or engage to buy you some time to do what needs to be done. - Precision weapons are your friend. Pistols, BRs whatever it is… Use them to take out the smaller enemies first. Logistically the less enemies shooting at you means you have a better chance when you start dancing with the Knights and what not. - Power weapons are great against elites and other tough enemies (Stupid soldiers), but again, once shields are down, do not be afraid to pull out your precision weapon and get the head shot. - Use vehicles. Infinite ammo, splatters, what more can one say. - With all of this… Distance is your friend. Peck off those enemies from afar and then they are less likely to hit you. You are also less likely to be surrounded which is never a good thing. Hope this helps, if only a little… Good luck!
I agree that its hard, and I beated that Campaign on Legendary on the first time I turned Halo 5 on and did it on Legendary.
Not saying I am better than you or anything, but I find this campaign to be pretty easy on legendary. Just play really conservative and stay near your team.
Also, in the first Warden fight, try to get him to charge at you and have him fall off the edge. I spent 45 minutes fighting him and accidentally made him fall off the edge. Don’t know how long it would have taken if that didn’t happen…
I found it challenging, but doable. It has to be challenging to be enjoyable. Try playing on heroic, and you are done too quickly.

Yeah heroic was too easy but legendary was too hard. it’s like gears of war 1 all over again, haed core wad way too easy but insane was a little too hard.
It’s supposed to be difficult. I’d be a little upset if legendary difficulty wasn’t difficult.
And by the way, if you think Halo 5 on legendary is too difficult, then you probably aren’t aware of how truly difficult video games can be. I remember the good old days when video games weren’t dumbed down so everyone and their grandma could instantly be good at them. No offense or anything, I’m not trying to be rude, just trying to give you some perspective.
Other than the Triple Warden fight (Why was that a thing??) I don’t agree that Legendary was too easy nor that it was hard as / harder than H2’s Legendary.
I can tolerate the “I hate…” threads, and the “X/Y/Z is dead” threads. I can tolerate the rants. Everyone has their opinions, and their opinions shouldn’t affect my personal enjoyment of the things I do like even if they don’t. However, please for the love of the Foreruners, be VERY careful when voicing your opinions on the difficulty of the campaign. Every campaign since Halo 2 has been getting progressively easier, and I would really not want them to see a lot of “Campaign is too hard!” complaints and then make it easier than H4 was. If anything we need it to go back to CE/2 days where Legendary was just that: A legendary difficulty.
If they’re going to make anything easier, it should be the Easy/Normal difficulties. Leave the Heroic and Legendary difficulties as a brutal unforgiving experience (Minus cheap tactics like Triple Wardens of course)
It’s been a while since I beat the game solo legendary, but I don’t remember it being particularly difficult. At least, not any more difficult than Halo 3, Reach and 4. To be honest, the only part that I felt was rage inducingly difficult was the triple Warden fight, and I used the glitch to skip the fight entirely. Other than that it was mostly just being patient and methodical about clearing out enemies from afar.
It’s not that tough I already did it last year if you want you can check it on my profile but yeah believe in yourself and you can do it trust me. 
The only really hard part is the three warden fight. While other parts were tough they were not much tougher than previous Halo games. one hint is find the rec weapons on the maps. when I first found the answer I was loving it. i am not afraid to admit I skipped the three warden fight with the man cannon. I tried it for hours but by then I was so over fighting the warden.
How is it hard? You have 3 Spartans constantly flanking you at all times.
Only hard part really is the 3 Warden fight, but that can be skipped easily
I got half way through then got bored. It doesnt seem too hard to me. If anything it seems too easy aside from the warden fights.
I honesty found Legendary in Halo 5 to be really easy! Pretty disappointing actually.

When I read “it’s harder than Halo 2” I was just shaking my head in disbelief. There’s no way he could honestly believe that statement. It’s definitely not CE/2 tough, with the sole exception of the triple Warden fight which IMO isn’t “true” difficulty but more a cheap barrier thrown in your way. At least his gravity bomb doesn’t have uber-heatseeking like the mythic Warden in firefight…
Yeah, Halo 2 Legendary is insane. I Beat them all on legendary solo, but it sucks that I have to beat all of them on The MCC in order to get Helio Skrill.
Use the light rifle its effective against everything.

My Req luck sucks pretty bad. I really wish we could use Req points freely to buy what we want as far as Armor is concerned.
