I first beat it on Normal Mode in 2007, when it came out, then I played through in 2007 and 2008, and did Heroic Mode, which I found very challenging and fun, and eventually, I think in 2013, I beat Legendary Mode. Great campaign.

I was thinking of just playing through on Normal Mode. I dunno. Thoughts on this? Thoughts on Halo 3's campaign in general?

Tank beats everything.

Just finished my first run today. Had a lot of fun, although I don't quite understand how to deal with the Flood pure forms other than stick with the pointy end of an energy sword or hold down M1/M2 with akimbo Spikers or Maulers. Cortana was a bitch, as I heard it was. Somehow still beat the par score despite dying a bunch.

A nitpick I have is that you're suddenly not super squishy during the end sequence on Legendary. I get that it's a victory lap spectacle, but you had to sweat blood and bullets during the Warthog run in CE. I was expecting something similar, but with the enemy density during the level it'd be damn impossible to do it while squishy. >_>

Interestingly there are more options for dealing with Flood in Halo 3 than the first two games. The biggest example is that using Melee attacks on Flood was useless in the prior games. But in 3, they are brittle and it works very well. The Sword is of course probably the best Flood killing weapon overall. It one shots the Tank forms and usually the other two pure forms as well. But my personal favorite anti-Flood weapon in Halo 3 is dual-wielded plasma rifles. They've got a high rate of fire, decent enough range to hit the ranged forms, and even help against shielded combat forms.

But really, most weapons except for Snipers are useful against Flood. That's actually why I found Cortana to be one of the easier missions. There is a plethora of available weapons for dealing with them.

I found the single player story a bit on the short side.
