Here's a neat difference. In Halo CE your shields actually recharge faster as the difficulty scales. Easy has a really slow shield recharge time while legendary is practically the same as Halo 2

[@ZeroTheEnforcer]

In CE, the recharge rate is the same across difficulties, it's the max amount of shields that changes.

Also explosion strength on Easy is way higher than on Legendary in CE, if you try to grenade jump on Easy you'll either die or be at low health from full, where on legendary you might lose a health bar

Throw some grenades, when you toss grenades if the enemies can't see you, it draws attention to the nades so they'll go stare at them, long enough for you to get in the banshee and then fly up and spin around so they can't hit you.

I mostly agree with that. I found Halo CE to be a lot more difficult most of the time because the elites are fast, aggressive, and seemingly don't die from getting shot until they've accumulated enough bullets in the abdomen to die of lead poisoning. Halo 2 sniper jackals seem like they'll be impossible to overcome when you first start playing, and you do have to take a few plasma beams to the head before you figure out how many of them there are and where they are in a level, but after you figure that out, they can be removed with patience and creativity. I still think Halo 2's campaign was hard for other reasons too. The brutes were pretty tough and some of the encounters seemed claustrophobic and lacking useful resources.

To be honest, I've only ever played CoDs 2 and 4 on veteran difficulty. Twice on both for good measure. CoD2 is surprisingly forgiving, save for the grenades. Time to die between heroic and veteran from normal firearms is negligible except for mortars. CoD4 is unrelenting between the top two difficulty settings. You (but so does the enemy with good aim) will easily die in three shots from either an AK or an SMG. Snipers will kill you in two, albeit with a much more noticeable delay. Accuracy and damage taken is much more noticeable. For example, I got caught with my pants down on Heat calling in an air strike near the extraction point and an enemy started firing at me at less than ten meters while I was still calling it in. With just circle strafing, I was still able to call in the strike, pull out my LMG, and finish him off. While hardened might occasionally allow you to make a mistake or two, veteran gives much less leeway.

Two Betrayals - Some of the encounters aren’t even fair, especially that one where you’re leaving the control room and greeted by a platoon on the pyramid where you only have your starting weapons. Keyes - A nightmare from start to finish. Endless flood, tough enemies, and no marines to help you this time around. 2: ALL OF IT! Cairo Station - To hell with the hangars, the jet rangers, and the bomb room! Outskirts - Sniper Jackal trauma Oracle - This bossfight could make a Promethean cry. Regret - Killing Regret took a full 15% of my entire run’s playtime! Quarantine Zone - The gondola was worse than any holdout section in The Library Gravemind - It took 2 hours to get to the prison, then I learned my seed made it impossible. I cried. Uprising- Sniper Jackal trauma pt.2! High Charity - That fight in the dark just before the end was torture. 3: Sierra 117 - Such a drag. The enemy counts of this game indicate it was meant for two humans. Cortana - FUCK THIS LEVEL! FUCK THIS LEVEL! FUCK THIS LEVEL! ODST: Tayari Plaza - Tight ammo and sniper jackals. Uplift Reserve - Those vehicular damage tables just aren’t fair. Data Hive - It never ends! Reach: Long Night of Solace - The Sabre everything was just pure luck. Exodus - The Final Beach section was just bogus. The Package - The tank section was pure trial and error. The Pillar of Autumn - The first shipyard fight was brutal. The brute fights on the pad were also grueling. The fight against the zealot and his crew was pure misery. Thank God there is cheese for the MAC gun! 4: Requiem - climbing the structures was difficult with instakill jackal snipers and the game’s spartan ammo limits Infinity - Holding the line was so hard I actually needed a guide. Reclaimer - Torture from start to finish. Shutdown - The second gondola fight took 2 hours! Yay Promethean Knights with the binary rifle! I had to modify my approach to best it. The Covenant battle here is also very hard due to lack of cover. Midnight - The final area was just brutal. The issues with the Promethean weapon set really showed. I love Halo 4, but I am not doing this again.

[@tTaseric]

Shutdown and Quarantine Zone are probably the easiest in the entire game cus of how big the skips are. For Shutdown, you can just fly your pelican straight to the final area and skip the Promethean fights (including the Gondola). You can cheese the final Covenant area if you just be careful with the Banshee. For Quarantine Zone some fancy driving will get you all the way to the end, and you can just hop on top of the Gondola and no Flood will attack you. Uplift Reserve was also one of the easier ones cus you can just drive from one end of the level to the other. There's a tricky part with the Wraith in the grav lift section but once you're past that it's smooth sailing. I'm glad I finally found someone who dislikes Keyes as much as I do lol.

[@dodang_9147]

​@@josiahmanown393 I played all halo legendary difficulties. I'd say halo 1 was easiest because most of weapons in halo 1 were pretty balanced in the sense that most of weapons were underpowered which means that most of enemies in the game were really weak. Halo 2 is probably 2nd easiest for opposite reason where all weapons were really powerful meaning that the player could exploit AI heavily and use very strong combinations. Halo 3 is probably least balanced halo in legendary difficulty because due to balance problems in halo 2 for mutiplayer, they decided to nerf most of weapons in halo 2 and as result, it made many weapons very bad in the game, meaning that apart from using Cabine, Battle rifle & Beam rifle, Most weapons in halo 3 were downright terrible for campaign mode because enemies had strong weapons and you had terrible weapons. Halo reach is little easier than halo 3 but i would say its still 2nd hardest to beat. Still recovering from terrible balance decisions from halo 3, It had one weapon combination that was grossy overpowered that made the game super easy on legendary difficulty. This was Plasma pistol+Battle rifle/Needler rifle. Plasma pistol in halo reach was such insane shield breaking weapon that it made most of hard enemies really easy as you could use plama pistol to break shield of covenant enemies and than quickly switch to rifle to instant kill their health. Both halo 3 and Halo reach are not fun story modes to replay unless its on easy mode. Halo 4 is super fun. Between halo 2 and halo 4, Its hard to say which one is easier. both were pretty fun as most of weapons were pretty good in halo 4 so you could mostly win with most weapons. The only thing that kinda sucked in halo 4 is that many weapons, although powerful had very limit ammo capacity. Halo 4 and halo 1 are definitely most replayable campaigns Hopefully halo 5 shows up in master chief edition some day.

A comparison between heroic and legendary would be really cool. The gap between the difficulties on Halo 2 compared to any other game in the series seems ridiculous

[@sp4rtanshock117]

Because i knew where the flood spawn on the library, it was fairly easy on legendary with only about 2 maybe 3 death. Now assault on the control room was ABSOLUTELY THE HARDEST level. With a few rage quits i finished that mission in 3 days while the rest of the campaign missions were at least 20-30min long to complete

I've been grinding through Solo legendary while also trying to get the par score and its been rough. I have reach done. About half way through 1 and 2. Havent started 3, odst or 4.

[@darkfireproject5379]

Is there a reason you're doing par score on legendary difficulty? Normal with skulls on is a lot easier.

[@ProxyExpy]

@@darkfireproject5379 well what I will do is play with par score on the legendary playlist and go back to any level I don't get after finishing the playlist.

[@theodorvalentinghita1779]

I really love how the community never gets bored of CE despite being released over 2 decades ago.These games had something special back then

[@alexanderelderhorst2107]

I mean legendary Halo 4 is surprisingly easier than other games, especially because certain knights have the ability to charge you with the teleport, MAN it's fun to pepper their shield till they get angry and dash, just run forward a little, turn around and free assassination points! Thank you Halo LASO for sharing this tip cause it makes it so much easier to deal with some of them. Same with the grenade trick if you're close enough to get around, although that isn't as prevalent with their lack of grenading, my reaction time isn't fast enough usually.

[@oscartovar3016]

its been soooo long since i touched halo for the first time that ive completely forgotten that easy and normal exist, still this vid was really fun

[@brettjacobson4600]

Doing a heroic MCC playthrough. The jump in difficulty from CE to 2 was pretty big and frustrating at times. I only had a small handful of spots in CE that gave me a little trouble, vs multiple spots in every level in 2.

Also on the H3 warthog run, more of the panels explode/fall away on Legendary vs easy/normal.

I always play Halo on Easy difficulty, I get to enjoy story more with classic assault rival and pistol as master Chief or Noble 6, then check on youtube to see legendary ending cause I suck butts in campaign on heroic lol

[@Realmasterorder]

Nice Video i believe in Most Halo Games Heroic is the difficulty you should play to get the Experience that was indented.The AI is awesome even in the First Halo games,I Think Halo 2 is the Hardest on Legendary and that mode is definately too challenging for most normal players,but it can be done with the right strategy.

[@wulfrickackerman9453]

When I got the Master Chief Collection , i told myself I would play through it all again on Legendary like I did back in the days. Right now I am in Halo 2 almost at the end. Already finished Reach and CE and I can tell you that Legendary is just the most fun!

Halo CE would be fine cus you still get the Magnum. 2 would be a fucking bitch 3 would be alright if you dual wield ODST would be alright. Reach would be challenging. 4 isn't included in the bungie games obviously but it'd def be the easiest. The AR is a monster in that game.

[@Eduardo_Irizarry]

Hey! I have a quick suggestion for a future video. Not sure if this has been covered or not, but Halo 5 on legendary WITHOUT allies is one of the most difficult campaigns I’ve ever played. The game becomes interesting when you see how H5 plays without npc allies. It’s way harder and (personally) a more worthwhile experience. Try it out sometime!

[@firestorm-1154]

How do you play without allies?

[@Eduardo_Irizarry]

Simply just kill them everytime they respawn.

[@lesterfalcon6252]

[@enderdoggaming4128]

So your saying at 7:10 the combat..... evolves?

[@GymBossAniki]

I think you forgot to mention for CE that the shields recharge slower on easy and recharge faster the higher you go where legendary has the fastest recharge.

[@optiTHOMAS]

I believe that's just because the shields on legendary are weaker overall, so they have less to recharge, making it faster.

[@imtherealslimshady483]

In Halo 2 on a lot of instances it upgrades the rank of elites, for example one room in Cairo station spawns 1 gold sword elite and 2 white elites with double plasma rifles that can kill you almost as fast as a sniper jackal or brute on Gravemind

[@topdeckhelix8450]

I would love to see something like this except comparison between heroic and legendary. I feel like old heroic used to be easy and legendary was a huge jump but now the progression seems smoother. At least in the 343 games.

Soooooo Tip of the Spear I have a fun story. I was on top of the tower at the end of the level all enemies were cleared, all I had to do was press a button, I had to do something went to revert to last checkpoint to have a little redo on a play and I accidentally clicked restart level. It was on Legendary.

[@ThePat-yu6st]

Super fun video well done!

[@thatminiguy611]

I remember when I was doing the Deja vu challenge on H3 odst it took HOURS but it was so worth it for the personal reward of saying I did it

[@quailfeather]

Tip of the Spear on Legendary is significantly harder than even Heroic. Heroic all you gotta do is grab a Revenant and you breeze through the whole level. On Legendary, getting a Revenant to begin with is insanely hard. You have multiple other enemies going for you and the Revenants basically instant kill you as you try to board them even with EMP Grenade Launcher-ing them. On top of that, once you get the Revenant at the second AA gun you have to go up against two Hunters which take forever even with all the plasma mortars you send at them, and at the same time they come out so do a ton of Drones that just melt you and are near impossible to hit with the mortars. Also in general Ghosts are an absolute pain to deal with on Legendary in Reach, possibly more than anything else. The hardest part of the game might be on The Package when you're just trying to get to Sword Base and you have to go up against two Grunt Ghosts, followed by two Fuel Rod Grunts, followed by 2-3 Shade turrets, 2 Fuel Rod turrets, and two Revenants all before you get another checkpoint. I think that whole part might be harder than the entirety of the following Firefight section. Elites are also pretty tough in Reach, I almost exclusively just try to noob combo them, any other approach other than sniping is basically fruitless. Brutes on the other hand are easy as hell except for the final section on Pillar of Autumn.

[@dimrivadum9722]

Couldn't agree more.. Those Fuel rod turrets always fucked me up even on Heroic.

[@_its_lunar_]

9:47 I absolutely love this

[@michaelbender4380]

Personally, I had a really tough time with the final sections before the didact "fight" when I did 4 on legendary. And 5 legendary is the only one that I still haven't finished due to how annoying it can get

[@tTaseric]

Knights are just strange. They have decent shields and they take like 3~ headshots to take down once their shields are down. The Knights do have really long animations so their predictability make them easier to fight than the Elites imo
