On the bullshit-o-meter, it's hardly a blip compared with stuff like Halo 2's jackal snipers. But there aren't very many spots with them, they'll only catch you by surprise the first time, and they're largely manageable once you know they're there. Nearly everything that can instant-kill you is extremely well-telegraphed, and most stuff is avoidable enough and has mild enough damage tables that the game gives you a substantial amount of room to react to things and be forgiven for mistakes.Įxcept for rocket flood. Once you're in the flow of the gameplay, I thing CE is one of the easiest legendary difficulties in the series. Solo Legendary is one of best way to showcase why the game is such a classic. It feels awesome when your strategy pans out, or you scrape by with luck and fast reflexes.Īfter all this time, Halo CE holds up really damn well. Legendary gives you harshest challenge and the greatest sense of achievement. Sometimes you have to make do without your weapons of choice and get creative in order to take out an enemy who has a weapon that'll let you turn the tide or the battle. It's important to make good decisions about which guns to swap out on the fly.
You have to decide whether to take a patient and stealthy approach to clearing a room, or open an encounter in any number high profile ways, like a grenade into a group, or sniper shot or plasma overcharge at the biggest threat. You've got a heightened incentive to make careful choices about the weapons you take into a room. You've got thrilling Hail Mary attempts to charge or blast your way through choke points. You've got a tense cat-and-mouse element. This is where Halo's exceptional combat design and AI truly shine. Halo CE on Legendary transforms the game into a whole new experience. Overall, I'm having a great time, though definitely best to just do 1 or 2 missions a day.Īnd I ain't looking forward to The Library :( checkpoints are challenging to hit, but still fair. It's both sad and funny now with every dropship, there are no survivors to board them. They clearly don't scale with the convenant and are therefore almost completely usless.
it's black magic how much the AI had held up after 20 years Elites will REALLY hang back behind Grunts. The AI are true bastards in this! If their shields drop, they'll run away or get behind something with shields. I just finished Mission 2: "Halo" and had some observations:
Always got discouraged tho as, well, it's legitimately difficult as hell at points and seemed like a fairly long commitment (expect levels to take MUCH longer to actually get thru).īut, with Infinite dropping this fall, it being the 20th anniversary, and 343 continuing to update it in MCC on Series x (they finally fixed the 30fps cutscenes), I felt now is a good as time as any. I've always wanted to play thru CE on Legendary through out the years.
