Re: "Difficulty Balance in Halo" Redux. *long-ish*

In Response To: Re: "Difficulty Balance in Halo" Redux. *long-ish* (uberfoop) : Halo 3 is kind of weird. Easy and Normal are both obscenely easy, Heroic has : substantially higher but still totally reasonable damage, and Legendary is : just stupid. : I think one of the reasons I liked Halo 3 so much long ago was that I : typically played it on heroic; I did a Halo 3 legendary playthrough : recently after not having played the game in a while, and I thought it was : horrible. But... : ...this might have a lot to do with it. Halo 3's Legendary seemed VERY trial : and error. Once I re-figured out how to tackle a given area on that : difficulty, it was a lot easier. There was a time I was obsessed enough to actually try completing the original trilogy games in legendary. I got used to the kinks of the AIs (especially those freaking jackals!), their damage output, their movements, and the like. Eventually, I decided to go on Heroic, save for specific circumstances ("Pillar of Autumn" of CE to hear Johnson's speech in legendary, H3's "Halo" for Mendicant Bias' blessings and the ending, and all of ODST for the "pathetic human" factor). I'm going to try playing H3 on heroic and get a feel back. I've been replaying the trilogy in Heroic, and so far Gravemind's results are similar to mine (adapted to difficulty, of course).
