Dont lie either. 8) Ive only beat on Heroic. Working on Legendary. Legendary is pretty tough by your self

Heroic is easy as pie, Legeandary is nearly impossible, I've only gone through about 3 levels before I gave up. If I were to play Halo on its easiest setting, I could probably go through it dying not more then 5 times.

Heroic isnt that tough if you know your surroundings well. Legendary though is quite challenging. Beating Halo I on Legendary is probly the greatest accomplishment in FPS history

I just beat the Silent Cartographer level on Legendary, and it is no picnic. The place where you hit the trigger to unlock the door to the map room now contains 5(!) invisible Elites instead of the normal 2. Not good times.

Just use the shortcut I did and play the last level on legendary and you can see the alternate ending.

I beat it on Heroic, but it was Co-op, making me much less of a real man.
Still, Co-op is a lot of fun and adds to the replay value of a non-online game.

If you bother to beat Legendary in Halo, it means one of two things.... 1. You're a Masochist, or 2. You need to get some more games.

Funny, I would think the greatest accomplishments in FPS history would be winning first place (and the pile of money that goes along with it) on the Pro Tours for games like Unreal Tournement. (or the other PC FPS's with pro tours)

I finished it on Heroic. Legendary is definitely a bitch. I'm working my way through it slowly...I think I'm on the third or fourth level, I've been away from it for a while. You have to really take your time and pick your spots.
I'm playing the whole game that way, not just jumping to the last level or whatever.

I've actually beat it on Legendary, but that's because Halo was my only Xbox game for a month, and I got done with it, playing approximately 5 hours a day.

Halo on Legendary seemed rather easy... cooperatively that is. I beat the last level on legendary by myself along with some others (most of the levels with the flood I stood no chance), but it definitely is a whole lot harder by yourself and some shootouts seemed to take forever.

I've beaten the game twice on Legendary... the second time around was surprisingly quicker (I guess had some strats for the hard parts). The most difficult part of legendary is when you first arrive on the truth and reconciliation and like 4-5 invisible hunters w/swords come out from 4 different doors.... I had to replay this part a ridiculous amount of times!

Halo on legendary is a whole other best. You can't even consider yourself having played Halo without playing legendary.
That's why I always scoff when Xbox haters say Halo suck. Have they seriously played it? No.
I beat legendary twice. :D

Im at T&R and Im trying to board the ship. But like 20x more enemies keep coming down. Running out of sniper ammo. Turrets arent working. The Marines keep getting killed. The Marines suck on legendary. Patience

That's probably the hardest legendary level, especially that exact spot you mentioned, just wait for those hunters once you're drained

I started playing through on Legendary, but I only got through the first 3 levels before i lost interest.
That game has a serious lack of replay value for me, I only played it for about 2 weeks total. Of course,
I rarely bother to play all the way through a game so it's better than most. In fact, I have at least 30
ps2/xbox/gcn games that I have played no more than once, several of which I've never played.

Beating the game in legendary or heroic doesn't really matter what matters is beating the crap out of your friends in a lan Game

I play legendary with my brothers quite a bit. I tried to beat the game solo but I didn't have the patience or the raw skill to pull it off. Hats off to those of you who have beaten it on legendary solo.
I think it's the best Xbox game, and possibly the best game of this generation of consoles.

01-26-2004, 03:36 AM
Are you guys who beat legendary doing it on singleplayer or co-op? I did heroic with a partner for about 70% of it, but I'm doing legendary on my own.
GameDude
01-29-2004, 07:59 PM
I've beaten the whole game on legendary by myself, to boot. For me, the hardest level was the 3rd one...the one with "Enter the Belly of the Beast" or whatever.
XboxMaster
02-02-2004, 09:04 PM
I knew it, all those guys that are at the game shop or post on the forums saying Legendary is easy and they can beat it with only one gun and stuff are lieing. I knew it! Cuz I always wondered how I haven't beaten Legendary yet, and I'm good at all the other shooters, and all these other people have. But, if a group of this many people haven't, and they spend there time on a site to get good video game deals, which proves they are true gamers, beaten it then those other people must be lieing. I guess they just say it cuz they think alot more people than true have beaten it and just want to show off. But, if everybody came clean, then no one would have to be nervous about saying they haven't, I've even caught myself lieing because of some people around me saying they have, but I bet they really haven't.

Legendary is easy... if you've practiced hitting targets with your plasma grenades. Then, you'll knock out 3-4 of them alien or zombies in no time per grenade.

when I go to my parents I am gonna have my friend stay the night and play some system link co-op
he just got Halo after Christmas and I have been really wanting to try out some good co-op
I didn't think you could play co-op system link? That was one of the things that really pissed me off about Halo (Though its one of my favorite games of all time) Is there a way to work around and play co-op system link? Anyone?
I beat it solo on legendary just one time. It took me forever. There were a few parts that I could not get by for a few days, and that's playing at least a couple hours a day.
Like zer0cooL, one of the toughest parts for me was when you get beemed into the ship and invisible sworded elites come out from the four doors, along with a swarm of grunts and jackals. I only had one energy bar left going in and didn't want to start the level over.
Also when you are trying to jack a banshee to destroy the 3rd pulse generator, and you've got flood, hunters, invisible elites, jackals, turret guns, and tanks to deal with.
The beauty of Halo is that even though there were parts that were hard as hell, I never stopped enjoying it or stopped playing out of frustration. It was all good.
Viewtiful_Joji
02-06-2004, 03:08 PM
Yeah, that part WAS pretty hard. But I got lucky though considering I only had to face two of those. There are times where you have to face 4-6 of them which is like... hell.

I've played it on normal on single player and that wasn't too difficult(actually super easy). I then did it on Heroic and that was more to the level that I normally like. After that I tried Legendary and must say that is the real challenge. Even though I hate both Halo 1 and 2 I must give credit to the programmer for creating some excellent A.I. That is one of the only reasons I play the game, otherwise it is just a huge linear repetitve game with horrible level design. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Halo is just a game that is dressed up nicely and nothing more.

whenever you get the need to beat halo not only once, but twice, on legendary, you have too much free time. You should immediately drop the controller, and go outside and do something constructive.

01-25-2005, 11:41 PM
IMO, Halo: CE's Heroic, or Legendary's difficulty is way easier than Halo 2. I play better with the idea that I get recharging shield bars. I can beat Halo on Heroic, and Legendary, but even though Legendary will be a pain in the ass, I beat it. I would just throw grenades, and kill everything that I could, than collect more grenades to proceed, which would take quite a long time. Jackals with Beam Rifles in Halo 2 are frustrating as hell to me, and I feel confined in Halo 2 levels. In Halo 1, I could snipe my way out of it most of the time, or kill from a distance, or either taking one out at a time until I recharge. In Halo 2, enemies gang up on me, and escape is hard.
Halo was my main game that I played for a long time, over and over again.

Legendary multiple times. It got to the point where I could start off the entire beach attack on Silent Cartographer without a single of my marines dying and having no less than half health. I would just destroy and tear up the whole beach in just a few minutes. It actually was too easy, and I'm not one to brag.

Did it on Legendary. Man, it was tough. I almost gave up on the part where you beam aboard the spaceship and there are a bunch of those invisible bastards with swords, but I did it on about the 50th try. The rest of the game was a cakewalk after that!

Amen Brother! That is probably one of the hardest parts of the game on legendary difficulty, and there are a few other choke points here and there that seem damn near impossible. But just having some patience and hiding behind cover will usually be enough to take you through any tight spots. I've beaten it (the first Halo) on legenday a couple times myself and that spot would always give me the most trouble. :twoguns:

Halo CE on Heroic is quite simple.;) On Legendary is a little harder, even though I have beaten it three or four times.:applause: One of the hardest parts is playing Halo where you have to defend your allies from coming on to the base.:bomb: Another hard part is in Two Betrayals where the first thing is to deactivate the second power generator beam.:cold: The Flood are hideously hard even with a rocket and shotgun. The second part is the last Covenant legion and Flood swarms with rockets, tanks and rapid firing enemies. Overall, the game was fun, challenging and impresssive.:D

I just got through belly of the beast, read several walkthroughs, none of them worked for me. They're all calmly stroll from door to door tossing grenades and
pulsing down elites, yeah right. What worked for me was grenade when possible while killing about 3 elites, then grabbing the camoflage, using it to load up on grenades then going into the connecting hallways. After that going from door to door, toss grenades and pulse grunts/jackals, SR on elites. A valuable lesson that, an SR is almost as good as a shotgun at close range. One hell of a fight, I'm still shaking...

I personally have beaten Halo on all levels of difficulty. Alone and Co-Op. But what is really impressive is that my girlfriend beat it on legendary before me. We played through once on heroic on co-op mode and after that she was hooked, she started played on legendary and wouldnt stop. but she did it.
Halo 2 we beat on heroic the day it came out. we bought the game on midnight and played through the night till the next night beating the game. legendary though is IMPOSSIBLE alone, and getting the skulls is freaken crazy. im 4 levels in on legendary and have gotten all the skulls so far, but i think it ends here. its just crazy, snipers and brutes are no joke.
