Ruby's CE v2 is a tad easy, but it's hyper-focused on refining the balance of the original sandbox; which has ultimately led to it having an extremely well-honed gameplay flow. This mod's gameplay sandbox could honestly benefit from replacing maybe half of Grunt spawns with additional Elite spawns if you ask me. I also tried Vanilla Heroic right after this recording for comparison, and enemies there are way too soft and few in number.

In conclusion though, the Halo CE foundation has a lot more gameplay quality potential, but Ruby's CE v2 is pretty much the peak of how good the Pure Halo CE gameplay style is capable of being, since this mod refines it to perfection and brings out its true potential for all it's worth.

This is a video series where each video is a playthrough of the first level of Halo CE on Legendary difficulty without dying; showcasing a different version of CE each time. The point of this is to have a place to easily compare the infantry combat game design of different versions of CE from a fairly skilled Halo player's perspective.
