Hi,
Been playing HALO:CE on Normal, it’s been a while and just wanted a fun run through.
I am getting thrashed, felt like I was playing on Heroic or Lenendary for a large part of the time.
So dropped to Easy boo-hiss and I could just run through the levels like I’m bullet proof.
The difference is like night and day.
Checking the Achievement status for H:CE shows I now have 40% completion on easy/normal, 20% on Heroic and 13% on Legendary!
I have only played 4 CE levels on normal, never touched heroic or above.
I hope it’s just a bug as it’s not fun when you just want to enjoy a bit of halo without too much thought.
Thanks for any help/info you can offer.
I hadn’t noticed a problem with difficulty, but did notice that my Heroic and Legendary Achievement progress was going up as you said. I assumed that it was because of the percentage difference in difficulty, not how many levels you have completed.
Doesn’t make much sense, but can’t think of any other explanation.
I had the same experience. I wanted to play the Halo 2 Anniversary campaign on “Heroic” just to embrace the new graphics.
However some levels were so difficult, that I was quite sure that the difficulty settings were bugged somehow and were set on “Legendary” although in the pause screen it constantly told me that it was allegedly on “Heroic”.
While also in-game it says that I have completed the Halo 2 Anniversary campaign only on “Heroic”, the achievement counter for “Beating all Halo 2 Levels on Legendary” shows more than 50% progress.
So I would assume that in fact the difficulty setting is bugged.
Hey,
Thanks for you comments,
I think the difficulty achievement may stack up, so heroic will give you 75% of legenday, 25% for the lower 3 diffiucluties.
Been playing/testing it for an hour or so and now it’s been deleted and packaged up ready to go.
The difficulty seems like it’s variable, one minute it is easy with damage given and taken set high, then the next it’s set low. I tried H3 on my 360 and it’s plays completely differently, more consistant than this.
Kept switching between legendary and normal and the damage taken was similar, there were just more enemies with better accuracy so you died easier on legendary.
Tried MP unsuccesfully as I never managed to connect to any games in any mode.
Now my Halo memories have been ruined and Halo 5 pre-order is canceled.
I’ve hads enough of the dive out of the way before you throw a grenade ai (destiny is the same) and move to cover when you snipe someone from behind half a map away.
Wow darnokfx, that’s legndary, you have to actually place smart in order to beat it. Instead of trying to snipe/stick elites, just plasma pistol then headshot them with the magnum(if you have one), if not needle them.
I’m almost at 10 hours gameplay and only up to halfway through The Two Betrayals on Halo:CE(solo, legendary), and I’m having the time of my life. The harder it is, the more satisfaction I get when I finally make it to that next checkpoint.
The only issue I have seen I always play on Legendary at first. The setting was correct you can tell by Elites being more aggressive and firing at a much faster rate, the rate your shield drops from shots, and my favorite the Brute shot on Legendary has the same effect on you as a Rocket would on Easy difficulty. I’m sure you guys know this anyway its common differences, anyway to my issue.
After I save and quit and it backs out to the mission line up, it shows the levels completed on Legendary. After I power off the console and comeback to power it on and go back to the mission line up it will show my highest difficulty completed is Normal. I can’t tell if this is why maybe my level achievements are not unlocking because it thinks I am playing on normal or if it’s because I have a few skulls activated. I know the Scarab skull is to disable achievements or so I have read anyway but what achievements does it stop exactly just the time based ones? I am asking because I can’t speed run in H2A thanks to 343 not allowing the sword lunge tactic. I know I can reply the missions, but I am not that great at playing on Legendary without putting time into the level.
its because playing through on the higher difficulties unlocks all the achievements for normal, if you play on heroic it will unlock everyone on normal and easy as well, on legendary it will unlock all on heroic normal and easy, thats why the percentages you listed go up slightly less each time
