are you kidding i found reach the easiest after odst
Personally, I believe Halo 3 ODST had the easiest Legendary, followed by Halo 3, Halo Reach, Halo Combat Evolved, with Halo 2 at the top.
This is the DUMBEST thing I’ve ever heard. I reckon 343i should make the AI with less health and make them smarter.

I got a deep hatred towards brutes due to Halo 2 on Legendary =/.

Finally, some posts with sense!
> Honestly, I would like to see Halo CE style Legendary come back. That game didn’t make the Legendary harder by making the enemies tougher, but by throwing more enemies on the player’s path. Your shielding also wasn’t as weak as it was in later games so you weren’t required to hide every other second.

> Both decisions allowed the gameplay to be fast and engaging. I would like to see that kind of difficulty back. And the last thing I would want from Halo 4 Legendary, the sniper rifle should be able to kill a shielded enemy in one headshot. It should be a weapon you happy to see on Legendary.
It made megabattles so damn fun.
Agreed. I mean this popshot noob combo is entertaining to me but it’s slow. And to do rushes in the hangar room (a la noob combo + grenades, melee fest) is something deity level people like Cody Miller and MisterMonopoli can do but way too dangerous for insignificant trainees like me. If I did anything else, my shields would be instantly down and I would have to take cover.
> I’ve played 3 Halo games: Halo Reach, Halo 3, and Halo CEA. (Wars doesn’t count here.) Out of those, by far the most difficult AND fun was CEA. Reach was difficult, sure, but it also wasn’t very fun. Meatshields just suck out all the enjoyment. Halo 3 was the easiest in my opinion (not counting Cortana Ughghghghgh).

> I think CEA’s legendary philosophy (smarter enemies and loads of them) makes for the best gameplay. It’s still very challenging, but you’re not just pinging away at enemies with a DMR forever.
Agreed. CE is easy to underestimate because it’s an old game with simple AI but it’s not easy as it looks. You have to do multiple playthroughs to be able to call it easy. In H2, you just have to get to know the map and use aggression wisely. In H3, you just to take your time. In ODST, you can just breeze past everything.
Imo the megabattles are the best part about CE. In the newer Halos, there are hardly any megabattles. The only one in H2 that I know of is on The Arbiter but:
-the enemy numbers aren’t very impressive
-there’s hardly any cover unless you hide out in the opposite room
-most weapons are insufficient, other than dual wielding needlers and grenade sticks
-it’s a pain in the -Yoink- to collect the AI, even more to bring friendly AI
So it’s very inconvenient (likewise, in H3). If enemy numbers formula returns, then AI gathering points should also return. Imagine a Precursor AI collection. Yum!!
They should be smarter but not have so much health and NOT no your position 24/7 AND FOR THE LOVE OF GOD SCRAP THE BOTTOMLESS CLIPS!

> I have to wonder, when what the last time you played one or two? I mean, there are dozens of easy ways to get through CE, and Halo 2 had dozens of glitches to make the game a cake-walk. Halo Reach lacked a lot of these.
Agreed. The first Legendary Halo Campaign I ever played was Reach’s. After I beat that I played Halo 3’s campaign on legendary and it was a breeze for me
No. The AI actually needs improved if you ask me. Not so much stronger, but smarter.
Oh no, it’s too hard! What ever shall you do?!
…Have you tried Mythic?
A.I. were not hard I have done the LASO challenges a few times it isn’t that bad. If anything get harder, but I do feel like Halo 4 legendary enemies where alot harder than reaches.
They need to make it more difficult.
Once you pop an elites shield, it shouldn’t just stand there throwing a temper tantrum. It should run to cover immediately like they did in previous games. That really killed the legendary run for me.
I don’t think they should move when you target over them (and they don’t know you’re there) or that they know you’re there when they haven’t even seen you, but I do think they should be much tougher than Reach’s. The only thing I disliked about Reach’s Legendary was the amount of heavy weapons were used against you.
legendary should be a nut buster not a walk in the park.

I’m starting to believe these are exaggerations… to support making them tougher.
From my experience, Reach Elites always went to cover, only berserking if I got close.
And I had my crosshair on Reach Elites from up close and long range and they never noticed me.
Point is, NO, not tougher. Smarter.
If I see another damage sponge, I’ll just have to stick with Heroic and lower…
> legendary should be a nut buster not a walk in the park.
Transition from Heroic to Legendary is a huge leap yes, but it shouldn’t be Mythic level. That’s what skulls are for.
It should be a lot harder. Legendary Reach was easy compared to Halo 2.
And people wonder why Bnet thinks this place is a cesspool.

My thoughts exactly
I like it harder! It makes it worth playing for. I played Halo 3 and breezed it compared to Halo 2 and Reach.
No, legendary should be harder.
