Out of the 6 games, I would have to say Halo 3’s was the easiest mainly because most enemies are either one-hit kills or can be easily dispatched with the noob combo.

As for your follow up question, I would have to say Halo: Combat Evolved mainly because of the Grunt Funeral skull.

Pinata + Boom is good spam in CE and 2, but boom is also a double edged sword.

i have always been worried about using this skull combo, especially for when i’m going for achievements. i guess if i use it right and use the skulls safely, it could really help. thanks for the suggestion!

halo 3 was really easy. almost felt a walk in the park. emphasis on almost

H2 was by the far the most difficult because of how unbalanced it was (the game was rushed and the devs did not had time to polish the game), I would recommend to do it next so you dont have to do it later. I would then recommend to do Halo 4 before CE because the enemies were so poorly designed in it that you will often face a lot of challenge with bullet sponge enemies and very annoying support that revive them. You can then round up your legendary playthrough with CE as the only unfair enemies you will run into during some of the missions are the rocket floods

To me ODST had the easiest legendary campaign. Piece of cake, relatively speaking. And H2 is the hardest by far.

I’ve been able to do 95% of Halo 4 in one sitting. It definitely has its frustrating moments though.

But my personal easiest is definitely Halo 3: ODST as you can cheese your way through most of it.

huh, for me Reach’s legendary is one of the hardest campaigns. It took me like 1 week to complete it.
For me, the easiest legendary would be Halo 4, and not very far, Halo 3. Halo 4 for me was just a shoot and run game, you can pass through zones without even trying to kill enemies, you just need to be lucky and be fast.
Halo 3 was not like that, Legendary feels like enemies are more accurate but not more stronger.

Now, your second question.
Well, it depends. What would you eat first? A rock (ce), a cactus (2) or a butter candy (4)?
Ce is rough, it’s very frustrating sometimes and since is a 20 YO game, expect a lot of “sh1-t-ty” old school mechanics or glitches.
2 is hell. That’s everything i have to say.
4, already told you.

My advice? start with 2, then CE, finally 4. Eat the cactus, take out the spines with the rock and finally remove the taste of blood and dirt with a sweet butter candy.

thanks for the advice. the consensus seems to go hardest to easiest (that being 2, ce, than 4) so i’ll probably do that

Halo 3 felt like a walk in the park, even when you know how to speed run as well

I honestly don’t think CE’s Legendary campaign is all that bad. You can get through most areas of the first half of the game (pre-Flood) with the Plasma Pistol, that weapon is stupid strong in CE. The only time you ever need to charge it up is against Gold Elites as their shields are pretty strong, but firing it rapidly will still take down Grunts, Jackals, and rip right through the shields of Elites. The only time you won’t really be using the Plasma Pistol is when you have the Sniper in Truth and Reconciliation and when you can pick off a few distant enemies with the Pistol.

The Shotgun, borderline a WMD in CE, will more or less carry you through the second half of the game, that weapon can drop a Spec-Ops Elite with two point-blank blasts on Legendary. The Rocket Floods aren’t that bad if you know where their locations are and you can easily flush them out with a grenade.

The funny thing is with Halo 3 Legendary is that I think speedrunning the levels on Legendary is easier than playing them as you normally would, The Storm and Tsavo Highway come to mind here.

Well, in ODST there’s a glitch that lets you skip entire missions (except for the last one), so if you don’t care about doing it the “right” way I would say ODST.

Although, the final mission is unskippable and it’s probably the most frustrating one in the series to solo IMO.

i didn’t know there was a glitch to skip whole missions. what’s the glitch?

Alt-F4 on the post-game carnage screen after Rookie found the clue, when you continue it will play the cutscene of him throwing it away and the mission will be “completed”.
