@@RealNoble6 i'm playing them in the chronnological order so i played reach first, challenging but passed it, now i'm with CE and damn it's kinda tough because there's not a lot of long range common weapons besides de magnum, now i think i'm gonna suffer a lot with halo 2 according to 99% of the people
I know there is usually an abundance of ammo in earlier halo games but in halo 4 you definitely have to switch weapons. You can't just play with 2/3 weapons for a whole mission and never run out of ammo, unless you just speedrun to some extent.
It's preetttyyyy fucking easy to me, so easy, that I have to play with the mythic and thunderstorm skulls on for a challenge. Halo 1 was def the hardest.
Sometimes when you load up gravemind on legendary, you die in a literal instant. Also, when I dropped into the prison block, for some reason the brutes saw me and killed me before I touched the ground
I've given up on that lol. I'm good with my beating CE on easy nameplate. Still giving me some problems for some reason. I think it if because I keep rushing through the levels, and then they all meet me when I stop.
@@Kevin-mw4oc If you need a good way for practice, try getting all the skulls on Legendary. You can do them in any order you like and they will teach you the ins and outs of it, before you actually do the full campaign on Legendary.
I got soft locked at the final ship section, literally i automatically died whenever i respawned and i haven’t touched my reach legendary progress since
I just finished Reach on legendary solo and that last mission made me wanna jump out the window. I got like 400 gamer score at the end so that was the ONLY reason I completed it...
Darryle Johnson same here. I would collect weapons from grunts and brutes and then stack them in the bottom area of the bunker. I’d kill one brute and then hide in the bunker until I got a checkpoint lol
Honestly the only reasons I think Halo 2 is harder than Halo CE are: 1 Jackal Snipers, I don't need to elaborate here we all know the pain. 2 The Halo CE Pistol is dumb.
@@Tora209 that's why you have a second weapon to deal with shields. Ones they Are down, Elites die pretty easy by one headshots. Pistol also shrads through jackals and grunts, oneshots Hunter (ridicolous). Though it a bit steps aside in second half Of The game, when flood spam shows up and shotgun really starts to shine, but it still blasts those banshees on TB and can really reduce number Of combat forms marching towards you before things become melee. Can't say it is that much overpowered though. It Just the only percise weapon besied sniper (which runs out Of ammo pretty fast unless it is T&R) and one Of The few weapons that is effective at any range.
Brutes health (as it is base health nor a shield) and the fact that they can throw their weapons away and start charging at you was also a considerable problem.
Jackals are not the only problem. Hunters in 2 were harder, flood were much harder, elite ai was improved to where they can not only shoot plasma rifles accurately from far but faster then you can, brutes were dumb until angry were they a threat, jetpack elites deal massive damage, youre vehicle gets destroyed so fast from a god damn ai on the ground let alone from enemy vehicles like banshees, etc.
I've never done a Halo 2 legendary run, but after playing through on Heroic back when the Anniversary version came out I can safely say I have no desire to. Gravemind was an absolute nightmare even on that difficulty. I'm so glad MCC actually hard saves checkpoints, meaning you don't have to select Save and Quit in order to keep your progress. I'll never forget being 3/4 of the way through Gravemind back in Halo 2 classic and the power going out. I lost all my progress on that level and damn near yeeted my xbox out the window
i've beaten halo 2 on legendary, but for some reason i don't remember much of it maybe because i've blocked it out completely from my memory also i beat halo 3 on legendary for the first time not even an hour ago :D came here to see what other people think
It's the game I completed by far the fastest on legendary (excluding odst). All my other games times I barely got under 3 hours, H1 I got done in about 2:10:00
@@underclassh3r058 I think Cairo Station was wayyyy harder than gravemind. All you have to do is jump on the roof and pick off all but one brute then jump around collecting weapons and repeat until the brutes come out of the upper doors then it becomes difficult but sometimes they'll spawn on the other side and you can carbine them. Rest of the level is cake.
10:07 the grunts in this mission fucked me more than the elites ever did tbh. I’d round the corner and get one tapped by a fuel rod gun with no chance to react
Alright so my plan was to do the entire PC release of MCC legendary solo. It's good to know that I've already done the top two on this list. I only did heroic for Reach because I was going in blind but I will go back for it. Honestly I felt like most of CE was pretty easy. Like most of the games major obstacles took place in Truth and Reconciliation or earlier. After that point you never really get ammo worries. The introduction of the flood actually just made it easier because the shotgun takes any of them down in a single pop,. They are weak to ballistic weapons meaning the assault rifle isn't completely useless anymore, while the Covenant weapons are still of similar effectiveness as before.
I'm only just now playing through Reach, but I think it's a lot harder than CE. The ai in CE is pretty exploitable and the plasma pistol destroys most enemies. In Reach it feels a lot harder to land hits with the plasma pistol and the ai is brutal.
The main thing that pisses me off on halo 2 legendary is.... The fucking Jackal snipers on Outskirts and Metropolis. They spawn bloody everywhere and half the time you never notice where they are, and they just pinpoint accurately one bang you
My list: 1. Halo 3 (played it hundreds of times and speedruned it, so i could do this possibly with "blind eyes" (hehe)) 2. Halo 3 ODST 3. Halo Reach 4. Halo 5 (because of the dumbest A.I. mates ever) 5. Halo 4 6. Halo CE 7.

Only thing more difficult than Halo 2 solo Legendary: Having the AI drive you in Reach solo Legendary. They drive you straight into 2 Wraiths with a Warthog like you are suppose to do something about that.
I found halo 4 to be quite hard but once you learned to counter certain obstacles such as the teleporting promethians and the fact that every corner essentially had its own little army then I could adjust my gameplay accordingly.
Halo 2 legendary ripped my soul out of my body the first time I did it. Enjoyed it the second time but still died a ton. An argument can be made that every level on Halo 2 is harder than any level on any other Halo game.
I can't believe i actually beat 1 AND 2 on legendary back to back once like 15 years ago I don't remember 1 being all that hard tbh but i definitely remember how hard 2 was
The library was for me actually the 2nd easiest level on legendary from CE, I was done in 30 min. But Truth and Reconciliation AND Assault in the control room? FUCK NO. NEVER AGAIN.
i never found library Thay difficult it was just boring. Assault on the control room and two betrayal is the hardest for me. In CE. however nothing is as difficult as Halo 2. I found the whole game really frustrating on legendary. It gives me ptsd.
halo 2 or halo 4. halo 4 cause of how quick enemy melee is by default, combine their melee speed with the redonkulous damage muptiplier on legendary, and you have yourself a mission restart... and halo 2....i need not explain...
My list: 7. Halo 5 (I've been speedrunning this game since it came out so naturally the game is a cakewalk by now) 6. Halo 4 5. Halo 3: ODST 4. Halo 3 3. Halo Reach 2. Halo CE 1. Halo 2
I’m glad I’m not the only one that found Cortana insanely easy and just ran through it. Everyone always talks it up but the mission before it is way harder .
This video shoulda just been called 2nd hardest halo on legendary besides halo 2 I also laughed so hard at that white elite coming out of nowhere in the halo 2 clip😂
Just started this challenge myself for the exact same reason as you. I've been a long time fan, but never solo legendaried any of them. Just beat Halo 3 on legendary last night, now I'm gonna bump the first two to the top of my list just to get them over with.
I mean... Yeah jackals can be a nuisance, turrets with legs but.. Outside like T&R and Two Betrayals it's not so bad. I mean.. I'll take rocket floods over fucking jackal snipers any day of the week. I just beat hall CE I'm both legendary and LASO.. just strating with Halo 2 and metropolis already shorten my lifespan by some years.. that section with the wraiths and the jackal snipers is worst that any section in CE except by two betrayals on laso.
Lmao I loved this video. Halo 1 and 2 are my absolutely favorite campaigns... probably because my brother got me addicted to halo when it first came out in 2001 lmao... so of course it’s always going to hold a special place in my heart 😂... but I couldn’t agree more with them being the hardest 2 campaigns for sure lol. Great video mate
Clicked on this video just to see if Gravemind (mission) would have a special call out. You did not disappoint. Gravemind starts off cheap and some of those large sandbox rooms with camouflaged covenant are disgusting. Such a pat on the back beating this level with minimal deaths on Legendary.
Reach is always a cakewalk for me because I've been playing the campaign nonstop since 2010, I basically have every fight in every mission memorized and my strategies for each are optimized.
Doesn't really count then if you've memorised the damn game😂😂. In the case of being a fresh player and you've never played the campaign, Reach is really tough
Gravemind isn’t bad if you hide in the beginning on the second level and get the carbine between waves. Then you can just take your time and snipe enemies. Several spots you can avoid enemies too. For The Library, just trigger the spawns and walk backwards. You can always outrun flood enemies and they mostly only use melee, so take them out at a distance with the pistol. You can run past them when they distracted fighting sentinels.
I love Halo 4’s campaign so much, it’s the most enjoyable out of all of them. It felt so easy to go through on legendary. Hardest still stands for Halo CE and Halo 2.
I just went through Halo 2 and now playing Halo 1 again and I’m crying. It feels harder than Halo 2, at least H2 has plenty of weapons but in H1 there is not many options and the elites have janky animations making them sooo hard to fight. Reach is extremely punishing too but I haven’t played that in a long time.
I remember beating Delta Halo for the first time on Legendary. I fucked up and ended up ammoless in the room with the four honor guards. My choices were: A) Go back out to get ammo then get immediately killed by sniper jackals B) Challenge the first sword elite to a fist fight, then kill the other 3 with his sword C) Quit I ended up going with B), and somehow I made it work.
I really enjoy your video’s btw funny moments and fails and others really makes my day better its stuff like this makes the rough days seem weak. Thank you and keep up the good ole work
15:50 HOW DID HE NOT KILL YOU!??? he was literally in your face with a sword, whenever im in such a situation im dead before i can even think about wtf just happened
9:00 the only thing thats mentally exhausting about halo reach is that fucking starfox space fight shit. The problem with reach is the level design...if you ignore the problem and focus on how the game is probably supposed to be played then you might have fun. But since in 80% of the game you are assisted by invincible spartans that you can use as decoy or bullet sponges, this game sucks, the solution for a lot of sections of the game was to afk at a safe spot and do something else irl ( fucking space jet fights ) . The sections where they were not around were great, literally the most dynamic combat of all halo games i played, you have to play like an actual predator against the elites because they play their surroundings very well.
I've got another challenge for you. Try going though halo 1 on easy with the following rule: you can't fire a weapon. Melee is allowed. You will learn to run and hide. Its pretty fun
Adhem E. On mythic, Reach is hardest in my opinion. You can literally only kill anything via beat downs or assassination, and you basically only have one shot at it and if you miss it you die This is a bad recipe for hoards if enemies, vehicles, and hunters. Remember the part in The Package when you have to kill two hunters? Yeah that part alone takes the longest time ever. Also sucks to kill brutes on LASO even though they’re slower than the elites (who will roundhouse kick you)
Kyle Curran yeah and the best last part with the like 2-3 zealots and field Marshall with a fuel rod must be fun mess up the slightest bit and your prob dead I would guess
I like beat two missions on legendary in reach by myself the intro and winter contingency because I basically speed runned winter contingency I feel like playing Halo 2 with a buddy but on LASO
Do halo wars my dude, halo wars is so hard on legendary. Yes it may take awhile but I’m sure the fans would love to watch it. It may not seem so fun but it is especially the awesome cutscenes. Respond back if possible been here for awhile, good video👌
@@Espartanica just play it...no use acting tough til you've done it XD I don't care either way, but it's easily the hardest halo on legendary besides 2 and 1. It may not take you as long as 2, but the fail count will be just as high -_-
I know people don’t really consider it with these list but my god halo wars legendary is frustrating, the game throws fully upgraded hunters at you like crazy, and they do it on missons that they know you do not have access to hornets, even flamethrower units who are exposed to be anti-infantry units need a 3-1 advantage to take out hunters
Chaldin Bezuidenhout yes indeed it is, the act man even said that every mistake you make is your fault and not because the AI was too op, so you’re right it is the most fair
Am I the only person alive who overcame halo 2 Legendary for playing it so much. It's not that hard anymore. I'm not high. I don't think it's that hard.
Once you know the tricks it isn't that hard but you can still get stuck on parts. Plasma pistol and br headshots, and carbine make halo 2 legendary pretty simple
Indra Deus I actually used the Needler, Sword, Sniper/Beam Rifles, shotguns, plasma rifles and rockets/fuel rod a lot, so those aren't the only valid weapons and I just want to politely correct your mistake, though if thats how you did it I won't judge you, and I really disliked the pistol and NEVER used it
James King look up Nak3d Eli on YT and use his speedrunning guide for Uprising, he did it in two minutes, me, a normal player, did it in 12, so you will be able to without a doubt do it within an hour
Halo 1 will forever be the hardest for me because of the 1 run I had with Keyes I will never wanna play that mission on Legendary ever again Halo 2 was the easiest cause tbh you can predict the Jackal Sniper spawns and you can actually skip every jackal Sniper section in the game Halo 3 is also a easy 1 when I'm playing solo Co-op teammates keep dying :( Halo 3 ODST was also easy almost as Halo 2 Halo 4 Promethans stangled me Halo Reach is the 4th hardest for me only a couple missions that are pretty tough Halo 5 So many Spongebob's for fuck sake BUCK REVIVE YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!!
I beat each halo on legendary as they came out. And now I gotta do it again for the chief collection. I keep saying I'm never going back to the library, but I keep finding myself there.
I always am like “Halo Reach has the hardest campaign” But then I remember I always play with no less than three skulls on (mythic, tilt, thunderstorm) Playing LASO, Halo Reach is the hardest campaign comparatively to any other with difficulty boosters in my opinion
Lol. I'm glad your list matched my own. Wasn't quite sure if you'd rank 2 over CE or not because of the health system, but those jackal snipers pulled through for m--
Gravemind isnt that hard its mainly the first room and the prison section. Other then that as long as you have a carbine/power weapon you will be fine.
Halo 4 was the only Halo that I beat on Legendary Solo. It was the hardest shit ever but I was so damn desperate for the Mark VI armor in Multiplayer. I was so happy and proud of myself when I finally killed the Didact. This was way back in like 2014 though.
Just discovered your content and it's great but this list is weeeiiird man. I did the legendary campaigns for the first time during the same kind of time last year and I dont agree with any placement here, except perhaps ODST as the easiest (though it is tied with 4 in my view). Point of fact- you mention elites taking loads of shots to kill on Reach. Is it not 2? Plasma overcharge plus headshot? :P I do agree CE is much harder than most people say it is...I actually place it above 2. But there we go! Keep it up mate
For the last three, I'd have to agree. Though it felt like you put it in the right spot, you also made halo 4 sound much harder than it actually is. After playing through it on the 360, I don't remember it being all too tedious.
Please excuse the #5 @ 10:23, in a longer video like this I sometimes miss little mistakes like this
And 14:24 lol, that English!

Switch Reach and CE then it's accurate
halo 2 legendary on coop is fun af but aggravating if your teammate dies, you get set back a checkpoint
Only thing more difficult than Halo 2 solo Legendary: Having the AI drive you in Reach solo Legendary. They drive you straight into 2 Wraiths with a Warthog like you are suppose to do something about that.
Always drive the ai around, they have more accurate aim and obviously you can drive bettwr
i saw a marine use a spartan lazer on a jackle instead of the wraith that was a good 50 feet in front of us
Bungie admitted the problems they had with adjusting the difficulty in Halo 2, and they fixed it with Halo 3.
I found halo 4 to be quite hard but once you learned to counter certain obstacles such as the teleporting promethians and the fact that every corner essentially had its own little army then I could adjust my gameplay accordingly.

The library was for me actually the 2nd easiest level on legendary from CE, I was done in 30 min. But Truth and Reconciliation AND Assault in the control room? FUCK NO. NEVER AGAIN.
Same dude, I think I actually had the fewest deaths on the Library. Truth and Reconciliaton made me want to run a hot bath and cry
Two betrayals is the hardest and 343 is easiest in my opinion…
i never found library Thay difficult it was just boring. Assault on the control room and two betrayal is the hardest for me. In CE. however nothing is as difficult as Halo 2. I found the whole game really frustrating on legendary. It gives me ptsd.
Halo 2, with Reach being a close second, there I answered your question.
Also, Library on Legendary is Easy, sue me.
Yup it is, you just need to use the shotgun, if that's what you did.
Woah, cool boy alert
agreed not as hard as people hyped it to be
Agreed. Truth and Rec is worse
@@codyjohnson8801 okay I can agree with this, but library was not easy
I remember trying to beat Halo 3 on legendary with a friend on split screen when i was a kid, it took like an hour to finish the first mission lol
Thats because the first mission is unusually much harder than all the rest
It's Halo 2. Mic drop.
halo 2 or halo 4. halo 4 cause of how quick enemy melee is by default, combine their melee speed with the redonkulous damage muptiplier on legendary, and you have yourself a mission restart... and halo 2....i need not explain...
plus, in halo 4 you fight covenant wave after wave after wave in ridiculous fucking numbers, and you can die in literally 4 or 5 shots :(
Nope Halo 2 and Halo Reach
@@iminyourwallsiminyourwalls4124 reach was a cake walk for me
@@iminyourwallsiminyourwalls4124 Reach? Of course no......
@@iminyourwallsiminyourwalls4124 Reach was only slightly harder then Halo 3 lol. I bet you never even touched Halo 1, 2, or 4.
My list:
7. Halo 5 (I've been speedrunning this game since it came out so naturally the game is a cakewalk by now)
6. Halo 4
5. Halo 3: ODST
4. Halo 3
3. Halo Reach
2. Halo CE
1. Halo 2
HOW IS HALO 4 EASY?
oh hey @why does TH-cam allow people to have names this long? This is kind of ridiculous don't you think?
Halo odst and halo 3 are the easiest by far
Watching this in preparation, as each game releases on PC I’m playing it on legendary, just finished 2 and my god I’ve come out a damaged man
I’m glad I’m not the only one that found Cortana insanely easy and just ran through it.
Everyone always talks it up but the mission before it is way harder .
This video shoulda just been called 2nd hardest halo on legendary besides halo 2
I also laughed so hard at that white elite coming out of nowhere in the halo 2 clip😂
Just started this challenge myself for the exact same reason as you. I've been a long time fan, but never solo legendaried any of them. Just beat Halo 3 on legendary last night, now I'm gonna bump the first two to the top of my list just to get them over with.
I’ve beaten halo 2 on legendary, and i find CE to be impossible
I mean... Yeah jackals can be a nuisance, turrets with legs but..
Outside like T&R and Two Betrayals it's not so bad.
I mean.. I'll take rocket floods over fucking jackal snipers any day of the week.
I just beat hall CE I'm both legendary and LASO.. just strating with Halo 2 and metropolis already shorten my lifespan by some years.. that section with the wraiths and the jackal snipers is worst that any section in CE except by two betrayals on laso.
I think the shitty jumping and meele physics of ce make it harder than it should be
Lmao I loved this video. Halo 1 and 2 are my absolutely favorite campaigns... probably because my brother got me addicted to halo when it first came out in 2001 lmao... so of course it’s always going to hold a special place in my heart 😂... but I couldn’t agree more with them being the hardest 2 campaigns for sure lol.
Great video mate
I need to do the same and complete them all on legendary
Lone Wolf ODST X have fun with that my son
Dwyer 2000 halo reach is done lol ✅
Lone Wolf ODST X Jesus you are my god
Clicked on this video just to see if Gravemind (mission) would have a special call out.
You did not disappoint. Gravemind starts off cheap and some of those large sandbox rooms with camouflaged covenant are disgusting. Such a pat on the back beating this level with minimal deaths on Legendary.
4:39 that brute was "nope"
People talk about sniper jackles but no one talks about the first room of the ship on t&r having exclusively sword elites on legendary
Reach is always a cakewalk for me because I've been playing the campaign nonstop since 2010, I basically have every fight in every mission memorized and my strategies for each are optimized.
Doesn't really count then if you've memorised the damn game😂😂. In the case of being a fresh player and you've never played the campaign, Reach is really tough
Gravemind isn’t bad if you hide in the beginning on the second level and get the carbine between waves. Then you can just take your time and snipe enemies. Several spots you can avoid enemies too. For The Library, just trigger the spawns and walk backwards. You can always outrun flood enemies and they mostly only use melee, so take them out at a distance with the pistol. You can run past them when they distracted fighting sentinels.
I love Halo 4’s campaign so much, it’s the most enjoyable out of all of them.
It felt so easy to go through on legendary.
Hardest still stands for Halo CE and Halo 2.
Halo 4 was a chore for me. I dreaded the missions. So boring and they drag on for too long.
i disagree, halo 4 was so frustrating because of the lack of check points
Halo 2 brutes are a pain in the ass
I just went through Halo 2 and now playing Halo 1 again and I’m crying. It feels harder than Halo 2, at least H2 has plenty of weapons but in H1 there is not many options and the elites have janky animations making them sooo hard to fight. Reach is extremely punishing too but I haven’t played that in a long time.
Yes, except the weapons on CE actually kill things.
the Zealot elite, the rocket flood and the Orange shield jackal are the Most fucking annoying enemys in halo ce legendary
I remember beating Delta Halo for the first time on Legendary. I fucked up and ended up ammoless in the room with the four honor guards.
My choices were:
A) Go back out to get ammo then get immediately killed by sniper jackals
B) Challenge the first sword elite to a fist fight, then kill the other 3 with his sword
C) Quit
I ended up going with B), and somehow I made it work.
The moment I saw the title, I already knew the answer.
H a l o 2
I really enjoy your video’s btw funny moments and fails and others really makes my day better its stuff like this makes the rough days seem weak. Thank you and keep up the good ole work
15:50 HOW DID HE NOT KILL YOU!??? he was literally in your face with a sword, whenever im in such a situation im dead before i can even think about wtf just happened
Halo CE becomes really easy when you start using the plasma pistol, Halo 3 is a walk in the park, and Halo 2… well… better not talk about that…
6:18 I felt that shit 😂
9:00 the only thing thats mentally exhausting about halo reach is that fucking starfox space fight shit. The problem with reach is the level design...if you ignore the problem and focus on how the game is probably supposed to be played then you might have fun. But since in 80% of the game you are assisted by invincible spartans that you can use as decoy or bullet sponges, this game sucks, the solution for a lot of sections of the game was to afk at a safe spot and do something else irl ( fucking space jet fights ) . The sections where they were not around were great, literally the most dynamic combat of all halo games i played, you have to play like an actual predator against the elites because they play their surroundings very well.
Also if you describe STANDARD Halo 2 Legendary like that, wait for LASO
Jedi Spartan I beat LASO H2, took me 6 hours total
@@decetes proof
The first Laso that I had played was halo 2.....I hadn't played any other game on legendary either b4hand
I've got another challenge for you. Try going though halo 1 on easy with the following rule: you can't fire a weapon. Melee is allowed. You will learn to run and hide. Its pretty fun
Go through every halo on mythic ( with skulls)
Adhem E. On mythic, Reach is hardest in my opinion. You can literally only kill anything via beat downs or assassination, and you basically only have one shot at it and if you miss it you die
This is a bad recipe for hoards if enemies, vehicles, and hunters. Remember the part in The Package when you have to kill two hunters? Yeah that part alone takes the longest time ever. Also sucks to kill brutes on LASO even though they’re slower than the elites (who will roundhouse kick you)
Kyle Curran yeah and the best last part with the like 2-3 zealots and field Marshall with a fuel rod must be fun mess up the slightest bit and your prob dead I would guess
I like beat two missions on legendary in reach by myself the intro and winter contingency because I basically speed runned winter contingency I feel like playing Halo 2 with a buddy but on LASO
I remember going through grave mind on legendary it was the first mission I tried to do on legendary for proof of concept
Do halo wars my dude, halo wars is so hard on legendary. Yes it may take awhile but I’m sure the fans would love to watch it. It may not seem so fun but it is especially the awesome cutscenes. Respond back if possible been here for awhile, good video👌
Cameron Adkins I beat the AI in the skirmishes easily on Legendary
@@Espartanica no comparison with the campaign... it IS pain...
Pavium Nah, I could probably do it without much stress.
@@Espartanica just play it...no use acting tough til you've done it XD I don't care either way, but it's easily the hardest halo on legendary besides 2 and 1. It may not take you as long as 2, but the fail count will be just as high -_-
Pavium Nah, it’ll be easy for me.
I know people don’t really consider it with these list but my god halo wars legendary is frustrating, the game throws fully upgraded hunters at you like crazy, and they do it on missons that they know you do not have access to hornets, even flamethrower units who are exposed to be anti-infantry units need a 3-1 advantage to take out hunters
And they throw 6 of them supported by grunts and ghosts, and if your really unlucky wraiths
Unless we’re taking halo 2 out of the equation then there really is no point
The point is seeing the ranking of the others to each other.
DRAKEnN342 true
Halo 2 on Legendary is hell on earth
I personally think halo ce is like the easiest legendary game...
I feel like its also the most fair game
Definitely the most fun on legendary imo.
I agree, they got legendary difficulty done right on first attempt.
Chaldin Bezuidenhout yes indeed it is, the act man even said that every mistake you make is your fault and not because the AI was too op, so you’re right it is the most fair
Same. Two Betrayals is the only mission on CE Legendary that really manages to shut me down at all.
I remember trying to do the achievement for beating Halo 2 legendary in 3 hours. Never been so angry what a relief when I finished that
Do laso or the side halo games on legendary
Doing a chronological legendary playthrough rn. Just finished reach and it was tough but CE is just insane.
Am I the only person alive who overcame halo 2 Legendary for playing it so much. It's not that hard anymore.
I'm not high. I don't think it's that hard.
Once you know the tricks it isn't that hard but you can still get stuck on parts. Plasma pistol and br headshots, and carbine make halo 2 legendary pretty simple
it was my first halo i beat on Legendary
It just have the moast random shit on legendary
Obscure Genesis :see why fact checkers say this is false
Indra Deus I actually used the Needler, Sword, Sniper/Beam Rifles, shotguns, plasma rifles and rockets/fuel rod a lot, so those aren't the only valid weapons and I just want to politely correct your mistake, though if thats how you did it I won't judge you, and I really disliked the pistol and NEVER used it
no matter what game you play, every halo player is familiar with that feeling of shame when you finally admit defeat and pick up a plasma pistol
Still waiting for a walkthrough of reach and halo 2 on legendary with no noob combo.
I don’t understand the plasma pistol is a necessary weapon why on earth would you not use it
You just don’t have to call me out this hard, I’m already dead
I've never beaten a single h2 level solo on legendary.
James King look up Nak3d Eli on YT and use his speedrunning guide for Uprising, he did it in two minutes, me, a normal player, did it in 12, so you will be able to without a doubt do it within an hour
You can already tel, which halo just by the tiltle.
Halo 1 will forever be the hardest for me because of the 1 run I had with Keyes I will never wanna play that mission on Legendary ever again
Halo 2 was the easiest cause tbh you can predict the Jackal Sniper spawns and you can actually skip every jackal Sniper section in the game
Halo 3 is also a easy 1 when I'm playing solo Co-op teammates keep dying :(
Halo 3 ODST was also easy almost as Halo 2
Halo 4 Promethans stangled me
Halo Reach is the 4th hardest for me only a couple missions that are pretty tough
Halo 5 So many Spongebob's for fuck sake BUCK REVIVE YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!!
The reviving system isn't that bad if you just spam the call for help button but if you don't do that yeah they do nothing
@@Tacomeister87 Even if you call them they still do nothing
The problem with Halo 5 legendary is the fact that you're actually playing Halo 5.
I beat each halo on legendary as they came out. And now I gotta do it again for the chief collection.
I keep saying I'm never going back to the library, but I keep finding myself there.
I always am like “Halo Reach has the hardest campaign”
But then I remember I always play with no less than three skulls on (mythic, tilt, thunderstorm)
Playing LASO, Halo Reach is the hardest campaign comparatively to any other with difficulty boosters in my opinion
Halo 2 LASO is infinitely more brutal. You can and will die instantly to enemies from 100+ meters away.
Lol. I'm glad your list matched my own. Wasn't quite sure if you'd rank 2 over CE or not because of the health system, but those jackal snipers pulled through for m--
Halo 2, could it be anything else. I'm not looking forward to Gravemind
Gravemind isnt that hard its mainly the first room and the prison section. Other then that as long as you have a carbine/power weapon you will be fine.
The devs behind Halo 2 we're just plain evil. PTSD flashbacks from Jackal snipers on legendary.
1. Halo 2
2. Halo 1
3. Halo 5
4. Halo 4
5. Halo Reach
6. Halo ODST
7. Halo 3
_PERFECT!_
Halo 5 got me crying right now... Thanks for your video!
Halo 4 was the only Halo that I beat on Legendary Solo. It was the hardest shit ever but I was so damn desperate for the Mark VI armor in Multiplayer. I was so happy and proud of myself when I finally killed the Didact. This was way back in like 2014 though.
Halo 3 made me lose my controller’s back and left thumbstick
*You* Slowly dying from multiple plasma burns and needle punctures.
*Buck* "Who the fuck builds a stonehenge!?"
15:12 = Vietnam flashbacks
So many people hate the Library, but it's one of my favorite missions on Halo CE.
Rocket launcher flood, that was my nightmare
Just discovered your content and it's great but this list is weeeiiird man. I did the legendary campaigns for the first time during the same kind of time last year and I dont agree with any placement here, except perhaps ODST as the easiest (though it is tied with 4 in my view). Point of fact- you mention elites taking loads of shots to kill on Reach. Is it not 2? Plasma overcharge plus headshot? :P I do agree CE is much harder than most people say it is...I actually place it above 2. But there we go! Keep it up mate
Halo 2 took me 50 hours and 19 years of playing all halos games to finally beat it
For some reason the hardest part for me in legendary halo 3 was this random section in tsavo highway
The part where you have to defend the marines on a hill with the phantoms dropping in brutes and chieftans with fuel rod cannons?
@@devindalton4688 yeah!
@@dabrody2406 That part gives me trouble on Heroic sometimes honestly. I always play it too aggressively and underestimate how many brutes there are.
@@devindalton4688 the brutes n legendary are very hard. Also that wraith was one of the things that really gave me trouble too.
For the last three, I'd have to agree. Though it felt like you put it in the right spot, you also made halo 4 sound much harder than it actually is. After playing through it on the 360, I don't remember it being all too tedious.
This should've been 17 minutes of the halo 2 cover art in complete silence
Just watching this after completing the Halo Reach LASO playlist on MCC PC. The AI in Reach is just on another level..
I'm so relieved that I'm done with halo 2 on legendary, those jackals were the stuff of nightmares
