Legendary is a fucking pain. I can't believe I ever even achieved it. Must have been pure determination.There are a couple places that are obnoxious, but it's not too bad on the whole. I just dislike how Legendary gimps your weapon pool. But I suppose that's just my 90s upbringing of always having an entire arsenal crammed up my butt talking. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! ...

The level design in Halo 1 is awful imo.Some of them are long and repetitive and it really wears on you. --- 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 ... Copied to Clipboard!

Rocket Flood are total bullshit, but for the most part there's nothing outrageous. It's just a tough playthrough from start to finish.

I don't think I ever beat Halo 2 on Legendary. Didn't play it all that much as I though 3 was so much better.

Once you have fun with it, look into that cursed halo mod just for some of the amusement it brings (or perhaps better, just watch on youtube someone doing a blind playthrough of said mod).

That was a pretty heavy scene. Even worse when you read about what the Flood was doing to him.

Starting the final mission now. I like how Master Chief just casually crashes his ship into a building just to annoy Cortana lol

Beat it. Damn that was a good game. The 2nd half is definitely inferior but the levels are still overall fun. I don't want to play Reach until after I beat Halo 2 and 3 >_> I guess I'll just wait for Halo 2 in the mean time.

Holy cow, this assault on the control room level is so long That level belongs on my list of GOAT level designs. The music, the atmosphere, it was just fun.

Yeah, after the intro level of the Flood, thats when the game went downhill gameplay wise.

I really liked ODST's campaign, I may even dare to say it was my favorite even though it didnt really deal with Master Chief, but I may be in the minority on that. I just liked exploring the city and then it being all momento style storytelling when you find shit and you gradually find out what happens, and the transition from the semi-calmness to the more hectic sections was pretty cool.
So if you're curious to play all the Halos I'd at least try to check it out even if it's kind of a side story. If you can find a way to play it at least, idk if it ever got released outside of XBOX 360 --- https://imgur.com/TFF3Nn8 Joe Burrow, the legend ... Copied to Clipboard!

halo 2 is a big step up from the first game, it's fantastic. however halo 3 is my favorite in the series.
reach was pretty good. story was kind of dumb but there is no flood thankfully & the final level in the game is a classic video game moment imo --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

I heard ODST is hard as fuck Well yeah you dont play as a spartan so they kind of made it to reflect that your character was weaker and not as advanced at combat. But it wasnt game breakingly difficult by any means. Especially if you're playing on Normal difficultly like you've played here it shouldnt be much of a problem. Legendary was certainly extremely challenging at some junctures. --- https://imgur.com/TFF3Nn8 Joe Burrow, the legend ... Copied to Clipboard!

Halo is definitely an interesting game for the FPS genre too.
To my knowledge, it was the first shooter to have regenerating health (or technically, shields in-universe). If I am wrong about it being the first, then at least it was the first one that got wide-scale recognition for it. Technically, regenerating health was effectively a thing before in space combat sims like Wing Commander and Freespace, but Halo brought it to the FPS genre. The first Halo game also had traditional FPS health behind those shields. Its actually a hybrid I feel does pretty well, honestly. A regenerating shield allows for new ways of playing a shooter, but still having health that only refills traditionally ala medkits means you need to use that shield tactfully. Of course, many shooters since then went with regenerating health. Mostly without shields. Lot less realistic, of course, but it does allow for better gameplay in some ways. . --- I am the Hunter of Topics. My post never fails to kill its prey. *pounces* Nyaa! ... Copied to Clipboard!

From a design (and obviously ignoring realism) standpoint, the best system IMO for the single player experience would be something like: (The "units" I am using are arbitrary)

Halo 2 is the best campaign in the series. Also one of the hardest. Play that shit on legendary sometime

I heard it ends on a terrible cliffhanger too because Halo 3 was originally supposed to be part of Halo 2, but they cut it due to time

I don't think I'd call it terrible.

ODST is the easiest by virtue of you being able to
- tank at least 1 Sniper shot - The VISR pointing out said snipers - Usually one invincible AI teammate, up to 4 - Pistol/ Plasma Pistol combo - Short levels in general, A lot with vehicles Probably the hardest part is traveling the streets and potentially getting ambushed In terms of difficulty 2(Cheap) >>> 1 > Reach > 4 > 3 > ODST Not sure where 5 would fit in ...

ODST is the easiest by virtue of you being able toHalo 5 is the easiest in the series in my opinion. There is a single part in Halo 5 that could be considered really tough, but other than that, the game is straightforward. In Reach and ODST you don't always have your invulnerable AI teammates, but in Halo 5 you almost always do. Plus Halo 5's weapon sandbox is so good that you will generally always have a weapon worth using. Even the ones that are supposed to be bad you can make work. My ranking for difficulty is a bit different I think 2 > CE > Reach > 3 > ODST > 4 > 5 I don't think Halo 4 is too difficult. It's just a chore to fight Knights and Watchers. I never found them to be huge threats though. Halo 3 is by far the best and fairest campaign on Legendary. Both for solo play and for co-op. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> ... Copied to Clipboard!
