I haven’t played halo 2 in years and I was wondering how long it takes to complete halo 2 legendary without speed running
It is by far the hardest Legendary difficulty of all the Halo games. And by hardest I mean most annoying and frustrating. Over the summer, I replayed every Halo FPS game on Legendary. I finished Halo 3, Halo 4, and Reach and then went back to Halo 2. I have the Vista version and I know I’ve completed Legendary before because I have the achievement on my old GFWL profile but I wanted it for my current Xbox Live one. Halo 2 Legendary kicked my butt repeatedly so I went back and did Halo Anniversary and ODST on Legendary. I found all the Halos on Legendary to be challenging but fun and doable except for Halo 2. I think Bungie overreacted to feedback on Halo CE and ratcheted up the difficulty too much. The enemies are overpowered while you are seriously debuffed. You can get killed by 3 shots from a plasma rifle: 2 shots to take down your shields and 1 more to kill which often happens almost instantly with dual wielding Elites. Additionally there are the one shot one kill Jackal snipers. The only way I could deal with them was to memorize their spawn points. Meanwhile the enemies are really hard to take down; it’s like having the Mythic, Tilt, Tough Luck, and Thunderstorm skulls on in other Halos. I was 3/4 of the way through “Regret” when I got into a no-win situation between jet-packing Elites and a Banshee. The thought of having to replay the whole level made me restart it on Heroic and finish the campaign that way. Interestingly, I think Heroic on Halo 2 is pretty much the same as Heroic on the other Halos.
With the amount of missions and the difficulty were looking at least 10 - 12 hours. That what i believe playing all but halo 2 legendary

The record is 1 hour 43 minutes for a full game Legendary run. It should only take up to 3 hours maximum on legendary. Here’s the video.

This is probably pretty accurate if you’ve played it before and know what you’re doing.
Hard to say. Depends on play-style and map knowledge.

How is that even possible!!!
There are only a couple ‘really tough’ places in the campaign. As long as you use that plasmapistol/BR(or equivalent headshot-getter) most places are no issue. The second hanger room is hard because you may not have enough ammo to adequately deal with the waves of elites. The only other stupid hard part is when you are teleported into High Charity. Legendary is beast played when you have a ton of space to manuever and evade enemies. The level Gravemind doesn’t give you that. You are completely in the open having to deal with waves of brutes and grunts. It’s challenging. Beyond that, it isn’t too bad. Just keep space between you and your targets and be quick on those headshots. Happy hunting.
I can speedrun, so, maybe 5 hours.

Watch the video and find out? Seriously, I think people waaaaay overestimate the difficulty of Halo 2.
Well there’s speed running and then there’s playing through a level. For me, speed running is finishing the level in the fastest time possible with no restrictions on taking shortcuts, exploiting glitches, etc. I’ve done plenty of that especially when completing Reach and Halo 4 challenges. I was trying for a play through of Halo 2 on Legendary and that was a profoundly unfun experience. If I really want the Legendary achievement, I will eventually try some of the speed running techniques.
I’ve heard it’s the hardest game on Legendary. Reach took me a month and a half or so so probably two months or more
Around 11 hours or so
I’m playing through on legendary now. Anyone have any suggestions for dealing with brutes? I haven’t got that far, but I remember them being super bullet spongey. I don’t need that lol.
I did it with my little brother a couple years ago on co-op, and it was a cake walk on Legendary. I did Halo 2 Anniversary on Legendary Solo, and I will say, for me, that it was the hardest campaign on the hardest setting since Call of Duty 4 on Veteran. I did it in 14 hours flat. Yeah…its a lot of work, but its a TON of fun!

Agree to disagree with you there. I am not enjoying it one bit, but I want that HELIOSKRILL.
It is definitely the hardest campaign but it is also the funnest for me. I am currently speedrunning it for the first time and came here to see how much time I was saving against the average legendary run. To anybody having trouble with a no glitch run I’d say always carry plasma pistol/br combo against elites. Precision weapons in general or needlers against brutes. Flood can be headshotted or sworded for quick kills. You can always get vehicles where they don’t belong for some fun. Kill beam jackals before they find you lol. Lastly many fights are skippable and not everything has to be killed. Have fun spartans.
If you speedrun, then it’ll probably be 2-4 hours. If you play it normally then it could take a grand total of 12 hours, give or take a few depending on skill and experience with Halo 2. Biggest tip I can give you… Shoot FIRST with the Jackal Snipers!!!

I did it in 7 and that was with 3 hours on gravemind so I think 10-12 might be a bit overkill
It took me around two days.
