Ok guys,
I haven’t seen this topic in the first 5 pages so sorry if there already is any.
Now that I’m sure many of you have finished the campaign, I’m want to put the rumors I’ve heard of campaign length to rest.
Can those who have finished the campaign tell me how long it took & what difficulty you played the campaign on?
No spoilers please; I have yet to play the game and wouldn’t be able to till Friday
Depends on the person really. Most good players beat it in about 6 hours, others took about 8-10 hours.
seems the average halo campaign length…
beated it in 8 hours and 10 minuts on legendary.
It took me between 5 and 6 hours to complete
About 30hrs for me because I do legendary first play through.
Around 4 hours on normal, not counting the loading screens and cutscenes, just gameplay. But I rushed pretty fast through it, Legendary will probably take twice as long at least.
> About 30hrs for me because I do legendary first play through.
lol! i’ll be doing my first playthrough on heroic.
Is the campaign difficulties harder than the old games? Or was Frank’s prediction just underestimating the fans?

Why would you… I don’t even… -Yoink- it…
Heroic was 5 hours for me and I had to replay almost all of mission 2 due to a game crash.
I’m expecting Legendary to take about 7-9 hours for me.

I only did Reach on Legendary, and it’s way harder than Reach was. Unlike other Halo games it’s not so easy to just plasma pistol overcharge every enemy that posed a real threat.
I beat it in 4 hours and 53 minutes on Normal
Took me around 5 hours on normal… Legendary next
It took five and a half hours on Normal for me.
How is it even fun playing on Normal? Just watch a movie ahaha…
Nah, whatever way you enjoy the game, bros.

Everyone has their own tastes 
I have my xbox set to automatically set game difficulty to hard mode though. I want my first experience to always be a mix of challenge and story exploration
6 hours and 50 minutes for me on Normal.
It’s definitely harder then previous games, although the grunts no longer are 2 headshots but I was dying fairly reguarly in normal.
I put this down to 3 things which make it harder then previous games:

Awesome, I’m glad it is harder. Interesting that you can’t headshot Knights too; I didn’t know that

You can headshot Knights - their head is just a lot higher up than you would think, so it’s problematic.
