I think it's fair aside from the Jackal snipers, the Regret fight, and the beginning of Gravemind. Maybe I'll change my mind when I go through it solo. Co-op was already very difficult.

I really don't remember the Regret fight or the start of Gravemind being that difficult, but I may have used the active camo cheat skull. The heretic fight and that banshee part on the Arbiter level were both really hard to me too.

I beat it on heroic, I started like half an hour into legendary and got the fuck out. Waste of time.

The best way to describe it for anybody who has never played Halo 2 on Legendary:

Heroic is the hardest the game could possibly be while still playing like intended. Legendary is a major step above that. That's why it's so ridiculous. You can't rely on just being faster and having perfect aim, you literally can't beat it playing as intended. You have to exploit things, hide, cheese encounters, flee past whole sections, etc.

This is true. A good fps player can beat the game on heroic just by being good. Legendary requires much more of a strategic approach. Gotta go into a checkpoint prepared to die to figure out who the enemy is and what they're doing from where, figure out the best strategy to get through the checkpoint and die enough practicing it until you can perform it nearly perfect, then rinse and repeat for the next checkpoint. I think this totally different playstyle requirement is actually what I liked most about my legendary playthroughs.

You're such a boring characterless entity. Try getting laid once in a while and maybe you'll have friends and find out what a "joke" is. - derrate
