    Complete 3 in Legendary Solo is still one of my greatest gaming accomplishments.

    Pfft who hasn't beaten 3 Legendary solo? But if you want a God, Ouch! is doing a legendary solo Iron run right now.

    I prefer to play games for fun first, and then if the game is good enough, I will challenge myself on a harder difficulty. I just can't fathom how anyone would want to go in at the hardest difficulty right away. It'd just be frustrating as smurf and I'd hate the game.

    *sigh* I guess you guys are far out of my league then. The best I've done is Halo 1 solo legendary.

    I reserve my worship for the SLASOers. And way to piss all over my achievement, man.

    I usually start games on Normal, and then do the same as you.

    Singleplayer Legendary All Skulls On.

    I think something like three people have completed every level SLASO, and last I heard maybe twentyish have done one level SLASO.

    I tend to go for a hard difficulty, usually the second from hardest if there's more than 3 difficulty levels, or Hard if there are 3. Not always, and it depends on the game itself of course.

    God no. I've done Legendary on 3 two or three times now and I can safely say that if I did that as my first playthrough, I would hate the game.
    I'm going to play through the campaign on Legendary on the first time. Anyone who knows me should understand this.

    I've got the game pre-ordered, but my Xbox is being sent to Mesquite, TX for repairs tomorrow morning, so I likely won't have a console to play it on. ; ;

    I am pre-ordered, and packing the girlfriends parents back off to Poland ready to kick some ass and take no names. I'm looking forwards to this, though Psy did surprise me with the whole reach beta thing I'm definitely going to be loving that. Now all I need is some time booked off from work for it.

    I did try legendary with 3 skulls, well 4 if you count grunts birthday party (easier identification of hits to the face) level 1 was a mother smurfing cow to do. I had both the hp gain ones, the field promotion and the increased grenades one on. I was doing it for the meta game points, basically imagine having no choice after the first encounter to swap all weapons for covenant ones and just go through with plasma sticky bombs and plasma pistols. It was very painful though I did note that the field promotion made a rare few Brute tech spike grenades spawn throughout the level. It also made an extra grav hammer wielding brute spawn during the "free Johnson and his squad" trap segment. Yeah, ouch, plasma pistol versus brute with grav hammer, not cool. I did manage to grab a needler at times, and whilst the ammo lasted, they were the dogs nuts for it. I doubt I could do SLASO tbh.

    Oh and I also hope for a patch on multiplayer to fix ranking, after many hard hours grinding up the Team Snipers (I play casually mostly, I generally am hit or miss excellent or crap in any given game, I've dominated some, sucked so bad in others that I'm surprised Psy still plays with me at times) to the officer ranks being a Second Lieutenant did not give me the XBLA for being a Spartan Officer. smurf YOU BUNGIE! Especially considering how many stupid second accounts and cheats we seemed to find doing Team Snipers, there was definitely some people we felt were aim-botting us because how does someone, lined up for assasination (beat down to the back of the skull) without turning or running behind you get a headshot on you? Also the old version of ranking worked much better at putting people of comparable skill together. New ranking allows me to enter a playlist against full birds and brigadiers because they haven't been bothered to play that ranked playlist yet.

    Chances are I'll flee back to Normal after 10 minutes of the first level. But the whole point of ODST is that you're not a superhuman Spartan guy, so I'd quite like to see what the game does with this in Legendary. In 3, completing Legendary was all about patience, but in ODST, I'm hoping they'll be all sorts of things going on that mean that you can't just camp out and kill the Brutes from afar. But maybe I'm expecting too much. But if I was shot in the face, I'd wanna check out who the hell just shot me in the face, rather than just stand there all Oliver Twisty.

    And like MILF said. Solo Legendary All Skulls On. Sometimes called Mythic difficulty, I think.

    I've completed a couple of levels on Legendary with 3/4 of the skulls on. I always activate the pro-covenant ones now

    They see me rolling. They hating, patrolling.
    Trying to catch me riding dirty.

    And yeah Legendary in 3 is actually like, hard. I can do it in 1 with my eyes closed, but 2 and 3 are another story.
    I should correct this, on further thought. I can do 1 with my eyes closed except for bastarding aboard the bastarding Truth and Reconciliation.

    You would think they would have gotten this Halo movie off the ground after watching that ad. They completely nailed what a Halo movie should look like. Just grab Paul Verhoeven to direct and everythings sweet.

    I'm definitely interested in the actual game as well. I'm hearing it has more of a Half Life feel and will be less linear than previous Halo games. Sounds awesome.
