Are you going to plow through it on easy just to get the story faster than everyone else, or are you going to take you time and play it on your favorite difficulty setting while slowly absorbing the atmosphere?
I’m torn between the two. The only reason I might plow through it on easy, is so I can jump into Forge 3.0 quicker.
How will you approach the campaign, if it’s the first thing that yo do?
Play on Normal, best of both worlds.

Yep, then check out the other modes and eventually go back and beat it on Legendary.
1st run through will be on Normal, then going to Legendary.
With Legendary I die over and over again, completely breaking the fourth wall. With Easy/Normal, I breeze through too quickly to really immerse in the storyline, it’s the videogame equivalent of skim-reading. Heroic is where it’s at.
Heroic is “normal” and that is what I choose to play for the first time through. I also hope to notice differences on the Legendary playthrough that make it more unique than Heroic, and it would loose its appeal if I went backwards by going easier the second time through.
I always put the difficulty on max to get that real feel of the struggle masterchief is up against. It makes the experience that much longer and at the very end its like woooow that was so intense and im glad i invested the time to do it as hard as possible for my first time 
I play the way it was meant to be played. Heroic.
Legendary to get the obligatory beat campaign on Legendary achievement.
HEROIC!
Because of the thrill
i like the way ths person thinks ^^^^
Legendary is pretty much the only difficulty that doesn’t allow me to just plow through levels. So, I jump in straight with Legendary as it gives me all the best parts of campaign in one playthrough. I honestly hope the Legendary to be actually difficult, something like the Legendary of Halo CE.
beat it on normal then forge 3.0

This^^
I play campaign first. I don’t really care if I am one of the fastest campaign runners on my F/L, I enjoy the experience…then go through on Legendary and nearly pull my hair out.
I’ll most likely play it on Heroic. Legendary’s frustrating, Normal is usually too easy. Higher difficulties are much more immersive.
Always Legendary first for a variety of reasons.
You get all of the “Beat the Campaign on blank difficulty” achievements.
All other difficulties (at least in past games) aren’t very challenging.
You never have to play the campaign on Legendary again (unless they revive daily challenges that cater to beating the game on Legendary).
Bragging rights.
Heroic FTW

Agreed. If people played carefully enough legendary isnt frustrating at all. THE ONLY Game where legendary truly gave me problems was halo 2. a few of the chapters in that game were just unbalanced for legendary and you only won by luck or a fluke haha XD
I cant wait for halo 4 ! !
Play through the campaign on Normal, absorbing the general storyline and atmosphere. Then hit up some multiplayer, then return to playing the campaign on Legendary, noticing the finer details and playing the game how it’s meant to be played.
