Why Is Halo 2's Campaign SO F**KING HARD?! (Ft. Hokiebird428)

Halo 2's Legendary Campaign is notorious for being one of the most challenging first-person shooters ever made. Most people agree it's the hardest in the Halo series, but why is that? What exactly makes Halo 2 so difficult? Beyond just the obvious Sniper Jackals? Well, let's find out....

That's something I love about From Software games. The dying animations takes a few seconds and while your body is falling and fading, the enemy AI still registers you as an enemy. So these motherfuckers are just relentlessly attacking your corpse even after you're dead. It's such a *fuck you* moment and it usually makes me laugh, even when I'm frustrated.

Ah yes the Halo game with enemies that feel like something out of a nightmare. The legion of grunts that don't care about death. The swarm of locusts that make sure no corner is safe. The Elite demigods with god like reflexes that always seem to backhand you when you try to beat down them and lord help you if they have a sword and you're stuck with an SMG. The all seeing Jackal snipers that can spot you in less than second and put a shot in your visor within the same second. Invincible hunters that eat everything you throw at them and ask for more. Finally berserker Brutes that charge after you like the last meat on a Korean BBQ grill.

Anthony Benedetto exactly. Doom TELLS you it isn't a fair difficulty. I think it's a massive stretch to expect Legendary to be the "way it's meant to be played" difficulty.

[@veez4425]

A tip for people who haven’t played H2 Legendary: Use dual needlers; especially on brutes. Also, most Arbiter levels you can run through pretty fast using invisibility.

[@TheExplosiveGuy]

And to add to that, get ready to die, over, and over, and _over._ It is inevitable. Also, play with a buddy in co-op if you attempt your first legendary run, it is a great way to ease yourself in, dip your toes in slowly so to speak, so you don't immediately go into shock and drown in all the frustration and anger😂. Man I miss those days, Halo CE and 2 were pure magic, beating Halo 2 solo on legendary was basically like getting the congressional medal of honor, as far as your peers were concerned😂.

[@whensomethingcriesagain]

In general, Brutes take massively increased damage from explosions, so grenades and needles tend to be the best route to dispatching them

[@JailerGamer]

I played H2 when I was a kid on legendary, never thought it was difficult. It just took a lot of patience and good peeking. The only exception is that goddamn level with the Scorpion also the Sniper Jackals but they were quick to deal with once you figured out their general spawn time. Also just realised I made a comment on this video 5 years ago lol.

[@jakebatty530]

Tip that people don't realise with needlers They fire faster when you tap the triggers quickly Vs just holding them down I'd argue the fire rate is near double this way

[@___Nobody__]

To me, the real difficulty comes from the non-existence player resilience. Hard to kill enemies can taken care of with strategy, but when you’re health has been reduced to nothing, it’s more artificial difficulty than organic difficulty.

[@wastelandlegocheem]

Ya. Heroic should make you and elites = and legendary slightly better (not shooting faster or more accurate than possible by players) and such

[@po801_4]

I had a friend of mine who's a fan of card games like Yugioh. I had some cards that he needed but I told that I will never give them to him. He offered money but I came up with a different offer. I challenged him to beat the first mission of Halo 2 on legendary. This is the first Halo game he played so I knew what was going to happen. I told him to that he had to make it to a rally point in order to get some of the cards. At every rally point, he can decide to stop there and keep the cards he earned but if he keeps going and gives up before making it to the next rally point, then he'll lose the cards he gained. He never made it pass the first area of Cairo Station and he never won a single card.

[@brendlol1]

To be fair if it was his first halo he wouldn't have made it on any of them but halo 3

[@ClassicFrank]

That's a cool challenge! I had a young family friend play Halo 2 a few years back, and as a joke, I made him do the mission Quarantine zone, solo, on legendary. He died a bunch so I went and grabbed dinner (it was a family party type thing). When I came back he was halfway through and I made sure he didn't change the difficulty. Needless to say, he beat the damn mision, and he was 8. As an adult who grew up with Halo I'll always be embarrassed I never even played Halo 2 on Legendary.

The enemies at the bottom of the grav lift in Gravemind will turn and kill you if a dead body from the room where Cortana reverses the lift falls down there. Covenant exit their unaware state if they see a body. You have to avoid killing any brutes near the lift or you risk getting into the impossible situation seen in the video.

[@RJALEXANDER777]

19:20 Huh. I didn't even know you *could* destroy the bodies by meleeing them. I think I just gave up after ten or so hits, and I always thought Halo 2 Flood were immune to melee attacks (not including the plasma sword).

[@christopherjones5700]

i remember meleeing an elite combat form like 7 times on normal/easy difficulty when i was younger and it easily shrugs the damage off and kills me. i was definitelly viewing halo 2 through nostalgia lenses because you couldnt pay me to play this shit on legendary.

[@RJALEXANDER777]

​@@christopherjones5700 I did it once. Decided to play through all the games on legendary. I don't feel I need to do it twice though, haha. I actually recall Combat Evolved being harder. If only because winding up with one fraction of health and no medpacks you're in for a hell of a time.

I think another factor was the dramatically reduced grenade throw range. As they say, you're supposed to feel like a super soldier , and in CE you could throw really far which made sense. But in Halo 2 you really have to elevate your aim point to even get a moderate throw by CE standards.

[@KingJohnson1985]

Anyone whose played Halo 2 on Legendary knows 5 Rules that are ingrained to their very brains. 1. Headshots, Headshots are the end all, be all. Get good with all weapons that are capable of Headshots or for the Flood can one shot critical areas. 2. Carry either a power weapon for obvious reasons or the Plasma Pistol to take care of shields, anything that can help conserve ammo for your Headshot Precision guns 3. KNOW WHERE ALL THE ENEMY SNIPERS ARE LOCATED, if you don't know where they are, believe me, they WILL remind you with a quick insta-death! 4. Stay as far away from enemies as possible, their auto-lock on and targeting decreases the farther you are away from them. Pick off enemies whenever you can before advancing or engaging. 5. When playing as the Arbiter ABUSE CAMOUFLAGE ABILITY! You can skip entire sections of levels and tough Enemies if it's used at the right times. Also use it to run away from the Flood, just in case the Flood has Shotguns or Swords. Follow these 5 steps, ALWAYS play it safe. And eventually you'll beat Halo 2 on Legendary.

[@deathmarch4192]

futbolluva In tank, Stay decent distance away from enemy units and focus turret fire on fast moving targets/banshees. Fire tank at the front tip for close banshee/ghost, just ahead for mid, and half- 1 cm ish for long range. In hog have a marine man the gun and drive evasively. With some practices you'll find its actually quite easy. Source: halo 2 pro who ate legendary for breakfast.

[@confusedindividual]

14:36 I believe the trigger for enemies to notice you is a jackal patrolling the top level. If he’s positioned too close to the grav lift when you come down, he’ll alert everyone else. If that happens, your only chance is to stick one of the brutes with a plasma grenade and run off to the side for cover; maybe even jumping down a level. That said, your point about this encounter being affected by RNG still stands

[@5persondude]

14:36 my friend and I literally finished Halo 2 Legendary a few hours ago (as of writing this comment), and we were cursed with the latter scenario along with a checkpoint mere seconds before we hit the floor, meaning every time we reloaded that awful checkpoint, we had to quickly readjust our crosshairs and kill the brutes within a single second before darting to *_some_* kind of cover or reprioritizing to the Fuel Rod Cannon grunts on our right.

I like a challenge but literally EVERYTHING you said applied to my experience of playing on legendary. I thought I completely sucked at times, I wanted to grab my sword and go mano a mano but got killed the minute I left cover, it just was not possible to play like that. The statement you made about not feeling like a badass is an excellent description, spot on. The checkpoints felt like a trap at points. I had several occasions where a checkpoint was made a split second before I died. There is a mission where you are dropped in as master chief after you kill the prophet in a covenant ship, the mission doesn't even really start and I die, literally no time to do sh..it!

[@sicalchemist2704]

That grav lift scene is actually beatable with enough experimentation. Again though it takes out the intelligent reaction factor and replaces it with trial and error battle strategy where you flow chart your way to victory around every bend from checkpoint to checkpoint. The trick when they notice you before you hit the ground is to pre-emptively throw plasmas at the brutes while your falling and dive off the platform to the next level below you. If you manage to survive the stream of plasma fire and perfectly land the fall to the next level, you then have to fight your way through several grunts and a couple jackals with no shields and limited cover before the rest of the covenant can regroup and get you. You also don’t dare to miss an opportunity to grab a gun because you will need it to defend yourself as they slowly poor in from the above levels and you will run out of ammo quickly and you don’t dare go up the lift into instant death. It’s incredibly tedious. I suffered much in that play through

I did notice this game being harder than Combat Evolved and other Halo games. No worries. Hokiebird gave me my first intro to Combat Evolved. I got to the Halo party very late. I didn't play Halo until late 2019. Now I'm a big fan of the series. I'm not as cynical about Bungie vs 343 and I do prefer the anniversary graphics. I played Combat Evolved and then jumped up to Halo 5, then I played Reach. Halo Infinite came next. I'm going back to play the older games so I can experience them all. I'm just doing them all out of order.

[@Hokiebird428]

[@stevenbenson9976]

Just a heads up/correction on a few things: firstly, Chief does have health in H2, but it is invisible to the player. it recharges slowly. Cryphon mentions this a few times in some of his speed runs, and he is the best OG Halo2 player in the world. Second, game glitches really do need to be utilized to make some parts of this game more fair. E-swords can be used to destroy the flood even after it has run out of ammo. Sword flying is a must if you want to survive. double shot battle rifle should always be done. pocket reloading is essentially required as well. Third, the chief's hit box, I believe, becomes larger as the difficulty increases. One of the speed running tactics is to get a marine in any vehicle that you are piloting. Marine's have rather small hit boxes and enemy fire will *frequently* miss them. if you are solo, they will melt you rather quickly. Finally, a horrifically unfair game mechanic is flood with shotguns. they can snipe with their shot gun. it is completely unfair as chief will see it spread so that it (rightly) is only useful in close range. Flood can fire it with zero spread from half way across the map, and still land a headshot

[@leonW1511]

The Game ja difficult, but that it is what People want. These days all Games are too easy! There are barely any challenging Games anymore. Its called legendary for a reason. If people find it too difficult, they play easy or normal. This game forces you to be carefull and not run and jump through the campaign.. it is meant to be a Challenge!

Hey Act Man I hope you see this, and well anybody else that loves Halo 2. Do you want an enjoyable Halo 2 experience? Something that isn't unforgiving like legendary but slightly harder that heroic? Well try this out, it's what I've done for years now on the MCC and to me it feels good. Not brutally unforgiving kill you in less than a second of legendary but not too easy like default heroic. Put the game on heroic and turn on the Anger skull. Just that one skull alone seems to give an enjoyable experience. Not too difficult but still hard enough you need to use cover when fighting. Try it out, run a few levels like that and see how you feel about it. Also like you said in the video, this would now allow you to experiment with different combos and play styles and not always needing just one

[@jameszd6817]

Says who? "Fight against formidable foes that will truly test your skill and wits; this is the way Halo is meant to be played" why would this change? plus halo 1 and 2 told you were stupid for trying"You face opponents who have never known defeat, who laugh in alien tongues at your efforts to survive. This is suicide."

[@alexanderwik8326]

Nope, sorry. I´m not sure if you've ever played the other games, but I´ll tell you that it´s definately there. The games has *always* been designed to play on Heroic difficulty. The player shield health, Enemy shield health, weapon damage, AI accuracy and difficulty etc is "normalized" at Heroic. Easy is for those who´s console-fps noobs or are only in it for the story, all the values are halfed for the enemies and doubled for the player. Normal is inbetween that and Heroic. Legendary is 1.5 to 2 times as hard depending on the game in the series. It´s even in the actual code. That is if you actually doubt the fact that it literally says "this is the way Halo is meant to be played" in Halo:CE, Halo 2 and Halo 4 as well, which it does. I can't tell for Halo 5 because I don´t own it. But since the other 6 games are made like this, why would they suddenly deviate from it? I´m sure it´s even been covered several times on Q&A´s with bungie or 343i in the past. If it hasn´t, it makes me glad, because it´s a stupid question to ask when it´s there literally. In writing. So I don´t know where you've gotten the idea that it doesn't from ._.

[@TooFewSecrets]

+James ZD6 In Halo: Easy is unlosable, Normal needs you to just pay attention, Heroic needs you to be good, Legendary requires you to know the game deeply. Shift all of these up one level for Halo 2, with Legendary being the mentioned "Fuck You difficulty".

[@Nighterlev]

+James ZD6 Uh..they don't say you're stupid. That is simply the way Halo was meant to be played before. Bungie with Halo 2 just had balancing issues. Until they finally decided Heroic was a "good difficulty" in Halo 3, ODST, and Reach. So yes, Says the games themselves. Only in Halo 3, ODST, Reach, and Halo 4 are the only Halo games where heroic is the perfect difficulty. For every other game? Legendary, no doubt about it.
