Hey my Elite friend wants to tell you something Elite: AYYYYYYY!!!!!

[@goldy6772]

What about normal difficulty being called normal

[@22steve5150]

I like to think..... Spartans with MJOLNIR ---- Easy mode Spartan-3's in SPI armor / veteran ODST / former Orion soldiers ------Normal rank an file ODST, marines, and soldiers -----Heroic Militia, armed civilians ----Legendary Also, about elites not seeming to be as tough in Halo 4 and 5....by this time MC has fought and killed literally thousands of elites and brutes over his lifetime, he knows their strengths and weaknesses and tactics better than they know themselves, he is literally the most experienced elite killer in the galaxy so it would make sense that it gets easier for him as he hones his skills to ridiculous levels. Also, dying on Easy or Normal is still quite easy to do, all it takes is a lucky plasma grenade throw, a plasma sword weilding active camo elite sneaking you from behind, or just getting overwhelmed by numbers (think of the room in Halo 2 where elites, brutes, and hunters are going at it and Cortana recommends you lay back and let them kill each other off), particularly when dealing with a group of high ranked elites or brutes and then a fuel rod grunt starts lobbing shells at you while you are engaged with the big guys. Remember, in Halo lore (the books), the Spartans generally crush Covvies except when vastly outnumbered or when the covies have air support or orbital bombardment support (like how most of the Spartan-3 A and B companies were killed) and of course, you could just be unlucky and be on a UNSC ship that gets destroyed by energy projectors or plasma.

This is actually one of my favorite discussions to have with friends, and I personally favor the heroic difficulty to any other.

[@OHaaaiden]

Yeah I consider myself fairly casual as Halos go, started at Halo 2, never played 5, got a LOT better after I pumped a ton of hours into 3. Heroic difficulty you have to play your cards right or you’ll get got sometimes and you definitely feel the ranking system of enemies, especially prime offenders like Elites in Reach. Once you get to legendary difficulty it’s kind of a requirement to start cheesing things like very specific weapon strategies (some of them become unviable) and memorizing certain spawns.

The one thing I say about this is that in the 343 games, grunts are given way too much health on heroic

[@UndertakerU2ber]

@dannytheman1313 I have to agree. My father has played every FPS Halo title on Legendary difficulty, but if I’m being brutally honest, he sucks ass in combat and can’t hold a candle to facing another person 1v1. I’ve seen him play on Legendary, and he always uses tricks and exploits to get through the game. He’ll hide right outside the areas where the AI’s are allowed to go, so they won’t follow him when he pokes his head in the room, gets a few shots in, and then runs right back out to the section where the AI won’t follow him. He’ll also heavily rely on sniping enemies in wide open areas, and while there is some skill involved in that respect, what he does is similar to the prior method, where he’ll get a head shot on an enemy, run away when they start shooting at him, and when he’s at a point where the enemies will just stop and stare at him from a distance, he’ll get another headshot in then rinse and repeat. Sure he beats the game, but it is BORRRRRRRRRING to watch, and I make sure he knows that every time I watch him play haha

One thing to point out: In the case of Dante-G188, it wasn't simply adrenaline that kept him going. Spartan-IIIs of Gamma company were given additional augmentations not given to other Spartan-IIIs or even IIs, ones that allowed them to push beyond what the Human body is normally capable of when under extreme stress. Any non-Gamma Spartan put in Dante's situation likely wouldn't have survived nearly as long.

[@brooklyn560]

ODST was the worst game of the franchise to me. That open world thing they tried to do completely ruined it. If they cut that part out it would probably be up there with Reach and 3.

[@masterSageHarpuia]

the most frustrating thing about legendary for me on ODST wasn't how easy it was to die or to kill an enemy, but running out of ammo because of the other 2. You run out because the enemies don't want to die and then all you have left is melee which doesn't go well because you die easily.

[@TrashedUpDayDreamer]

For both sides, the Covenant having generally higher casualty rates due to their poor wave tactics similar to the Imperial Japanese, and human casualty rates being high due to fresh troops with not the most efficient training

i'd say H1 legendary and H2 heroic are the canon strictly based on Fall of Reach and First Strike. the first time Chief encounters an Elite was on Reach and he was shocked to find that it was as fast/strong if not faster/stronger than himself. First Strike Chiefs first encounter with a Brute he was severely outmatched physically and only survived being strangled to death when his shield started recharging and gave him a tiny fraction of leeway to slip out of it's grasp. another Spartan on the same mission with John-117 was Grace-093 whom in the same Brute ambush, was blown apart by 3 brute shot rounds.

[@spicey4522]

Halo 1 was definitely legendary based on Halo: The Flood. If you haven’t read/listened to it, it’s the plot of halo 1 in book form and marines die constantly. Master chief almost dies multiple times as well. It’s a fun book too, because it gives some insight into what the marines were doing between missions and where they were staging from, as well as what happened to them.

I mean... its also entirely worth noting that Chief is a Spartan II which is vastly superior strength-wise to a spartan III. During the Battle of Harvest, Dr. Halsey created the spartan II's somewhat illegally because one of the largest Bastions of humanity was about to fall. It was a last resort endeavor and as such they kinda went all-out producing Spartan II's (not even all the initiates of the program survived the augmentations) however the Spartan III program was an officially UNSC sanctioned program to produce an elite fighting force en-masse, again to defend reach among other worlds. However the goal was different, rather than being the scalpal of the UNSC like the Spartan II's the III's were more geared towards a sledgehammer approach, i.e. quantity over quality (which kinda defeated the purpose of the spartans at all) thats why so many of the Spartan III's perished. And also why John could fall from space and survive where as emil got stabbed in the back and died (although its also worth noting NOBLE-6 also managed to survive an orbital free-fall but thats besides the point). Different augmentations, different strengths. The Spartan IV program then was the perfect balance, albeit a little too late to the fight.

kyle rodriguez yeah true because gameplay is always different from actual canon. You can’t survive water in campaign even tho canonically the suit can handle water and he did survive in Halo 2. But still truest to lore is still heroic as the developers state that’s how it’s meant to be played.

I like the idea that "each mission has it's own difficulty" technically speaking you fight different enemy troops with different skills, abilities, and weapons. So for example, the reach invasion force was at its peak performance at the start, however over time you lose troops equipemnt and individual soilders lose strength and energy as they fight. So when that weakened reach invasion force follows the autumn to the halo ring, they already have soilders who are worn down a bit and with less supplies meaning they are easier to deal with. So with that all put together, it changes the out come of how difficult the enemy really is

[@asincereman5297]

[@johnnymegadeth9703]

To be fair, when chief falls from space his armor was locked up. As we see in later games, armor lock can withstand most anything.

[@tep5132]

I always found it annoying how different the lore of armor lock is compared to gameplay, like the reason it helps them survive falls is only partly thanks to them locking their armor after they lock it they over pressure the gel in their suits to act as an airbag to cushion the fall. Technically, locking the armor first is completely unnecessary, I guess it’ll prevent you from straight rag dolling as much but other then that the gel will be enough to help absorb the impact along with the armor itself

[@highgrounder5238]

Sry, havent played reach in ages

[@jkuczynski2762]

Unggoy Merchant. TL;DR at bottom. Is it possible to spec the Pelican differently based on need? For Reach, the goal was to quickly get to PoA. For Halo, it was to act as troop carrier/VTOL. For H4, Assault Craft. For First Strike, a dummy craft to draw fire. Since in ODST there are civvie versions and there are multiple versions of warthogs, mongeese, etc; out there in other games, forge mode, seems likely that vehicles can be spec'd in relatively short order. Also need to consider wear and tear. PoA had a pilot whose ship was around SAND quite a lot. If it fills up the filters, no air gets to engine. No air to engine, and any in-atmosphere propulsion is bust, making it laggy. Hence, Foehammer's smackdown via banshee. For the Reach counterpart, (minus glitch where you drive one), pilots did not know how to handle Covies as well, maybe? Heck, the jump in main locations is Harvest >Cote d'Azur>Chi Ceti>Reach...did not seem like the adaptations/strategies for dealing with the covies were fully implemented yet. I think they really did not expect the Covies to hit that close to home, that quickly, so strongholds like Reach were upgraded later than frontier worlds known to have Covie activity/be near it. TL;DR for those less interested: Could that Reach pelican be spec'd with lighter gear, armor because it was supposed to be an escape craft/SpecOps barebones model?

[@jkuczynski2762]

Unggoy Merchant Fair Point, but see again...Reach variant. Reach was far away from war...sadly, it seems we will not have an answer either way anytime soon. ^^"

[@billylc2753]

Here’s my input, I believe heroic is more likely it. I’m reading through the halo books currently and finished the first one recently. one scene comes to mind. Chief and Linda have just landed with a mission to destroy a memory core to make sure the Covenant don’t find earth. Now the specific scene goes something, not exactly but kinda like this: Chief: “Elites are coming in on packs, take them out!” Linda: “sir. Yes sir!” “Linda takes four sniper rounds to one elite, the first 2 rounds bounce off the elites shields. The third round bursting its shields and the 4th bullet hitting the elite in the neck making it claw at nothing in space” (The elite was killed) I can’t exactly remember and I’m sure it changes a little from halo to halo, but I feel like heroic would add it all up. Legendary is there for a real real challenge. Fuck you halo 2 sniper jackals! But yeah that’s just a scene that came to mind, feel free to tell me another scene with an elite from the books that can compare! Would love to hear it.

[@Dennis19901]

There is no official difficulty where any normal elite takes 4 sniper hits to kill them. Perhaps the white elites of Halo 2 on legendary come close, but I STRONGLY doubt the elites portrayed in that scene are spec-ops elites. In truth, if you read the books closely, legendary doesn't even come close to an actual difficulty of canon. The books portray elites as actual threats even to spartans.

[@ttothedtotheog8877]

@@Dennis19901 yeah true that... I think 2 halo games that even slightly come close to the true cannon is halo wars 1 and 2's cutscenes only... This is because in halo wars 1 the cutsxens in the second mision shows marines getting killed and wounded from one needler round. And sergeant forge vs the arbiter shows how frickin tough that bastard is... Also it helps show how fast and agile a Spartan really can be when it shows red team going up against a group of elites... Also in halo wars 2 it shows how easily spartans can be defeated if a powerful enemy can get the jump on them... But once again it also shows that Spartans can also hold their own againts a bunch of enemies as shown with Jerome defending Isabel while she is hacking the glassing beams firing system... But as for actual gameplay it's more strategy than actual ballistics and strength of individual units

[@Cliffracer46]

Yeah, elites are strong like spartans. Maybe lower rank elites have less experience but in the beginning, when Chief first fought elites he had to be really careful, even with the lowest ranks. I believe high ranking elites like zealots are on par with spartans ii in terms of strength and experience, probably even slightly better.

[@Eldor-117]

In the novels, a single plasma pistol normal(not filling plasma container) shot could take out chiefs shields and elites shields are also easily overload by assault rifle full auto fire(barely taking half a magazine). So the damage taken is like legendary difficulty but the damage given is like normal difficulty.

[@Eldor-117]

So it comes down to human Vs covie weapons. Covenant weapon damage is legendary, and human weapon damage is normal. But armor/shields wise, it make little difference unlike the games. Both can easily be wilted away.

[@keithkillner500]

Heroic is stated as "How Halo is meant to be played", however looking at the bulk of the lore, none of the difficulty settings truly match the "difficulty" of the universe as a whole. For example in the original trilogy of novels a couple of 3-round bursts from an AR can cut through an Elite's shielding and armour. Yet there are other points where Covenant species take much more of a beating or deal much more damage to human and even Spartan targets than they could on easy difficulty which is the closest to the previous example. Broadly speaking, all of the difficulties apply. The difficulty scaling simply affects how much damage you can deal and take (and increases enemy numbers, improves their armaments and scales the A.I. responsiveness) So the Covenant forces are as strong as they are on Legendary and the Human forces are as strong as they are on Easy difficulty - both sides and all races are as powerful as they could be. You do have to, however, factor out the game features that are "unrealistic" and factor IN the caninical points that the games ignore. You can headshot any enemy/ally with a non-precision weapon and they won't die, likewise a single needle shard will not instakill anything in-game whereas canonically, the needler is by FAR more deadly than most other weapons, the massive shards can penetrate armour and cripple a target and that shard will explode shortly after - this would be enough to at least cripple a Spartan wherever they were hit. Also the games ignore the effectiveness of plasma, typically the game rule is that plasma is good against shields and ballistics are good against flesh, however in the lore, a plasma bolt that simply goes near to a Spartan can burn their skin through their shields and armour with it's heat. A single plamsa pistol/rifle bolt would outright kill a marine, grunt or jackal. To get a true difficulty setting you have to scale-up every difficulty factor to make every species/faction capable of dealing as much damage as possible whilst being much more vulnerable.

[@spethmanjones2997]

Could you imagine a super hardcore Halo game which was really accurate to the books? With extremely powerful weapons and not much survivability across any of the races/factions? That would be so cool :D

[@spethmanjones2997]

NCR Elite Riot Officer it would be like Arma but with aliens and you are a Spartan

[@raistlyn117_8]

I do agree, but the books and games are very different yet very similar. Since the game came out first wouldn’t you think that Heroic would be the most accurate? After all it says that in the title. It would make sense because in Halo Wars (I forgot the name of the guy, it’s been a few years) but the main character dude unloaded a full magazine into the Arbiter point blank and still got his ass whooped (until Arbiter got a knife and an energy sword through him). In heroic some of the elites can take an entire mag into their chest and continue on fighting (not normally, but the gold elites for sure can). Now, the books came out before Halo Wars so that may not be the best example, but it does tie into my theory. In the books, Master Chief’s shields don’t hold up well against plasma fire, and in Halo CE, on heroic they don’t last long against plasma fire either. Fisting elites doesn’t work well in either of them, so that is somewhat accurate. Getting stabbed by an energy sword in both would kill you pretty fast. Getting stuck kills you in both. A needle explosion kills you in both. Getting hit by a hunter extremely wounds you in both, but is survivable. Getting hit by one of the hunters fuel rods will cause severe damage if not entirely kill you in both. I see many things that heroic does right. Grunts are pretty easy to kill in both as well. Jackals are a worthy enemy in both, but more nuisances than anything. And the flood is terrifying in all difficulties. Yes, there are some inconsistencies, but my point is that the game is more canon because it was created first and that was what the developers had in mind.

[@tristanskywalker1998]

Raistlyn V I always thought they just meant that Heroic was the funnest difficulty, not necessarily the most accurate.
