[Elder Legend]

As a tradition and a long time Halo fan. I've always played Halo on Legendary difficulty off the bat ever since Halo 2.

So what difficulty are you playing Halo Infinite on the very first time blind playthrough?

For me, it will be Legendary.

Here is some of my Halo history with the difficulties.

Halo Combat Evolved I was a wee lad who didn't care about that kind of stuff at the time. But obviously went back and did it.

As a matter of fact I am 2 levels away from completing Halo Combat Evolved LASO playlist on MCC. But I won't lie, I was doing it with a friend and god.... The Library, Truth & Reconciliation and Two Betrayals can go suck my 8 inch Hebrew pee pee. But its over and done with.

I've also completed Halo Reach LASO and surprisingly it wasn't that bad except for 1 level where you go inside the covenant ship I forget the name of it.

I want to complete Halo 2, 3 and 4 LASO as well either before Infinite or sometime during the Season 1 drought.

I also finished a blind playthrough solo of Halo 5 Guardians on Legendary and fuck the Wardens and the crawlers is all I have to say.

 

[anthony2690]

Always normal, then I dive into legendary afterwards

 

[Kacho]

Heroic is the sweet spot for me. Tough but fair. Don't have the time or patience for Legendary anymore.

 

[Jaybe]

Easy peasy for the first run.

 

[Robb]

Normal I think.

 

[Vasto]

Easy for the 1st play through then move to Legendary.

 

[Woffls]

Heroic; the way Halo is meant to be played (according to the thing)

 

[haveagood1]

Heroric as is tradition.

 

[elliot5]

Heroic for a little extra challenge, and maybe run Legendary in co-op later down the line

 

[DenchDeckard]

Heroic at first and then legendary Co op when it launches

 

[Cornbread78]

Live that Normal life

 

[Bernkastel]

Heroic as its meant to be

 

[Romulus]

I think cheesing this game will be extremely easy with that grappling hook, especially outdoors.
Pinned down? Simply scale the closest tall structure and rain down on the AI. And, looks like you can retreat in a hurry almost whenever you like with that grapple.
Heroic start for me.

 

[Codes 208]

Heroic as its meant to be

The true answer

 

[Tiamat2san]

Easy , to find collectibles and for trying things here and there.
When co-op will be available I'll play it on heroic with my wife.

 

[Connificent]

The way it is meant to be played.

 

[Airbus Jr]

Normal for me

I bet playing this game on legendary will be harder than elden ring

Playing on easy will probably break the imersion

 

[Verchod]

Always stay in normal, that way I have a good incentive to replay several times increasing difficulty.

 

[M1chl]

I am only going to play co-op and since that is going to be with GF, obviously normal.

 

[DaleinCalgary]

Im not that interested so if I play it will be on easy and I'll blow through it.

space shit just doesn't entice me that much

 

[Hendrick's]

Normal seems too easy so Heroic.

 

[Black_Stride]

Normal seems too easy so Heroic.

Pretty much.
Legendary after in Coop.
Cept Halo 5....fuck the Warden Eternal.

 

[worldwithpyramids]

Usually play heroic so I assume I'll do that.

 

[Vagswarm]

I've played every Halo on Heroic, so sticking with that.

 

[Dr. Claus]

With how piss-easy Halo games tend to be for 343 releases, I am going Legendary.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Heroic. I might die too much on Legendary especially from snipers.

 

[CatLady]

Heroic. I played Halo 4 the first time on Legendary and swore I'd never do that again. I missed out on way too much of the story getting my ass kicked. I always play Halo campaigns a million times so I now wait to do my Legendary run on my 2nd playthrough.

 

[Tranquil]

Normal

I don't think I've ever played a game on harder than normal.

 

[Bernkastel]

Heroic. I might die too much on Legendary especially from snipers.

Halo CE was the only Halo game where legendary was fair. If you died in Halo CE legendary its because of your own fault except for maybe the Rocket Launcher floods. But not this bullshit


After Halo 2, I will put Halo 4 second in the legendary bullshit difficulty scaling due to the Promethian Knights. These two games are just not fun in legendary. Also Jackal Snipers are back in Infinite.

 

[Aldynes]

Heroic for me, always has been for each Halo entries, Bungie used to say their game was meant to be played for Heroic difficulty if I remember correctly

 

[Mister Wolf]

That's exactly what I dread those jackal crackshots.

 

[MightySquirrel]

Maxtreme!


FPS = highest difficulty, always, or it feels too boring otherwise.

 

[Dave_at_Home]

I guess I'll stick to normal but will give heroic a try if too easy.

 

[ebevan91]

I usually do Heroic on the first time through.

 

[GymWolf]

Heroic unless it's far easier than past games.

 

[ÆMNE22A!C]

Heroic to get a feel than probably legendary

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Legendary will honestly ruin a first time play through, I'd go with normal or heroic, and revisit later for legendary

played every halo on legendary and it will make you want to pull your hair out, especially considering there is no revert to check point option in this game

 

[Lognor]

Legendary. Always legendary. It can be frustrating dying again and again, but it's so satisfying once you finally reach that next checkpoint

 

[Lone Wolf]

Heroic, then Legendary, then Legendary co-op if it ever releases.

 

[amigastar]

I usually play my games on normal first time then go one up in difficulty.

 

[teezzy]

I'm a normal guy

 

[Helghan]

I always play it on legendary solo for the extended cut scene in the end

 

[VAVA Mk2]

I always play through first on Heroic

 

[Captain Toad]

If I decide to try it, normal

 

[Windle Poons]

Always normal to see what kind of shit they are going to throw for my legendary second run.

 

[Marcinkowski]

Heroic to enjoy the game and story, then ill do Legendary!

 

[thelurkinghorror]

As one of many lucky guy who can already play the campaign, I suggest you heroic difficulty if you want to see the AI shine

 

[Rex_DX]

Heroic of course. As God intended.

 

[Diddy X]

Heroic for fun and training and then Legendary for epicness and full enjoyment of the game.

 

[RavenSan]

Legendary. Co-op. (When it's around)
