xesevoli Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 There is only one word to describe what it is, pathetic So there is a gigantic difference between something being competitive and cheating. The legendary campaign is horrible, its not even fun nor competitive, it's just a lot of AI cheating. *Shooting someone you're not even looking at, and in fact you're turning your back on them, is not being good, it's just plain cheating. I have to say this because the AI doesn't even pretends to be realistic, they just do plain BS in your face. They shoot at incredible (and impossible to us) fire rates, their weapons don't overcharge, they have infinite ammo and abuse of it. They don't even pretend they saw you, sometimes they just magically turn looking exactly where you are like if they were f****** physic. I mean, how the hell does an elite runs faster than me while shooting at the same time 15 shots per second not missing a single shot and I have to shot him x5 of whatever he shoots me to kill him. The great old master chief can be killed in half a second by a stupid grunt, that makes so much sense! The shots.... you can't even strafe them because they're way to fast *I REALLY BELIEVE THEY EXAGGERATED TO MUCH WITH THE "DIFFICULTY"* remember the only real purpose of a game is to have fun... I really doubt someone will have fun while they're being cheated on, it's not even a challenge because you know they didn't do something good to kill you, just plain BS.

Lᴜᴋᴇ Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 The purpose of a game isn't just to have fun, as you put it. They are meant to be challenging and present difficulty, which keeps people playing. Would you still be playing games if they were really really easy and you completed games in a few hours? I don't think the answer would be yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 An AI isn't sentient and cannot chest. Of course it has to be difficult, it's the hardest difficulty in the game, the whole point is to complete it and think, I did that. Just play normal or easy if you cannot handle the "cheating", or play with friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want it to be really easy, it can still be a challenge without having to be so tricky. I want it to be, at least, more realistic. I want an elite to actually look at me to know where I am, the flood to have a normal weapon range (have you seen the flood using shotguns or assault rifles from half way across the map?) and bullets to actually hit me in order to kill me, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectral Jester Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 Every Halo game is not fun on legendary, its a challenge if you want fun play it on easy or with friends on co-op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azaxx Posted March 3, 2012 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 The whole point to legendary is the challenge of completing it, not to have fun. But people like me, still get fun out of complete hard missions with legendary or mythic difficulty on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuko 'Zarhamee Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 Enemies have always have had infinite ammo and weapons that don't overheat (if they're using plasma weapons). It's not anything special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archangel Tyrael Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I can do legendary easy, but it is called legendary for a reason, it makes you a better player, and increases your confidence and makes your feel really good, that you completed it.

ZB-85 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I'm starting Legendary. By what I here right here, I want to beat it so bad now. If they cheat, then it will just make me try harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShockGazm Posted March 11, 2012 Report Share Posted March 11, 2012 I wasn't a fan of legendary, I felt the AI were practically useless. I was getting annoyed, so I stopped trying to get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yummiestparrot Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Useless! I admit i am yet to complete all the levils on legendary solo, but i still have fun while im doing it. Its good to have a difficulty which is a challenge unlike most games these days, EG CoD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGhost Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 You just described Reach, not CE. I made a thread on Waypoint regarding Legendary in newer Halo games a while ago and I can safely say CE Legendary AI are the most fair and balanced enemy AI you'll ever see in Halo. I have spent a lot of time in it and I've had to put considerably less effort into gameplay than I do in Reach. Examples: youtube.com/watch?v=AybGvWyiKkQ youtube.com/watch?v=jK0GRgFGyjc youtube.com/watch?v=7ZHYQqtYKKU youtube.com/watch?v=leH0mjWAQN8 youtube.com/watch?v=0GXCb15qbBk youtube.com/watch?v=gEBSHUtEICM Elites in CE are very, very susceptible to manipulation and even the sound of gun fire can drive them into positions of vulnerability. Enemies in CE may have infinite ammo but they do not have bottomless clip. They too suffer from drawbacks such as reloading and overheating. To test this, fight a Goldie plasma rifle wielder. He'll overheat his plasma rifle if you let him stand there. Also, try a needler Grunt. Also, the reason why they land their hits on you is because the projectile speed of the plasma rifle is fast. In Reach, this is dependent on difficulty but by no means do I consider Reach to be better than CE in this regard as the player's plasma rifle doesn't seem to get the same bonus in Reach (and it does significantly less damage. Likewise, the concussion rifle). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakurako Posted March 25, 2012 Report Share Posted March 25, 2012 Idk, I think Legendary is pretty hard. Plus it's more challenge, and you get more gamer score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
