Legendary Failures
2The short, heavily edited videos I've posted so far of Halo 1 on the highest difficulty setting give a fundamentally misleading impression of what it's actually like to play the game. I've never been a particularly skilled gamer regardless of genre, and it literally takes hours for me to finish even a single mission on Legendary. I typically fail between 10-20 times on each individual combat encounter, and the really difficult ones can easily last for up to 30 attempts or more. As one might imagine, the whole experience can definitely be frustrating (as well as feel massively unfair when you die at the last enemy before a save point or something), but given the sheer amount of work that is required to get anywhere at all in the game it's remarkable that Halo on Legendary isn't a much more painful endeavour than this. There's always that exciting unpredictability to Halo's combat which prevents the gameplay from becoming too much of a grind, although a less erratic checkpoint system would have been much appreciated.
