Re: Hm. Where to begin?
Posted By: ArteenEsben	Date: 3/10/11 8:26 p.m.
In Response To: Re: Hm. Where to begin? (Stephen L. (SoundEffect)) : I think this might be an individual perception. I've beaten each Halo game on : Legendary except Halo 2. I didn't find Reach's Legendary to be any harder : for me than it was going through Halo 1 or 3. In fact, my experience was : that the jump between Reach's Heroic and Legendary weren't all that : different. Normal to Heroic was a big jump, but Heroic to Legendary was : only mildly more difficult. That's why I mentioned four specific factors (challenge/fairness/approachability/forgiveness) instead of straight-up difficulty. Heroic and Legendary in Reach are relatively easy to get through if you run around with a plasma pistol and DMR/NR the whole time, picking off enemies at a safe distance. But as someone who prefers a more intimate, audacious approach to combat, Reach is rather vicious and frustrating in ways that the previous games weren't.
