There are clear reasons why is Legendary so hard on Halo 2 compared to many other Halo games.

Basically Bungie had to rush the development to release the game on deadline, leading them to cutting a huge portion of campaign (which later partially ended up as the Halo 3 story) and having to ship some things incomplete. This means that they simply did not have enough time to adjust the stats of Legendary difficulty, resulting in a very hard and unpolished experience on it.

The Legendary difficulty is even more broken on H2A and Halo 2 Vista as the change to 60hz tickrate caused many issues including breaking the difficulty, meaning enemies target you and friendlies faster, have a lot faster reactions and also fire slightly faster on these 2 versions of Halo 2

(Basically the tickrate change was done during development of Halo 2's PC port from 2007, Halo 2 Vista. The developers switched to 60hz to allow for true 60 fps without much interpolation. However they forgot to adjust many of the engine's timers, breaking things. For example some of the objects spawning at wrong coordinates, weapons firing twice as fast as they should, difficulties etc.
Since H2A is based off Halo 2 Vista, many of these issues still remain. 343i may have fixed some of them but there are still many remaining.)

Legendary is for speedrunning anyway. And Legandary isnt that hard.... you will notice after you play HALO 2 LASO Challange xD (Legendary ALL SKULL ON)

I did a legendary run on Halo 2 PC a few months ago for the first time and it wasn't all that hard but I'm dreading yet excited to try out laso in the MCC

Its abit easyer on PC (""""abit"""") imagine playing with a controller and one of the skulls is disabling of the Aim assist and HUD (inc. Cross Hair). Ya i think LASO will be with mouse alot easyer :D but i honestly dont know if i will do it for Halo 2. I think ill only do LASO for Halo 1 maybe because at least there is the HUD and i hate the no hud Skull.

if anything they should increase the difficulty in the other games. the hardest of 4 difficulties should be exactly that - hard

Completely agree with this, making the absolute hardest difficulty accessible to everyone completely ruins the fact that it's supposed to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard. Not everyone should be able to complete it.

it aint even that hard one is a lot worse. in halo 2 the weapons do a lot more damage, and you have a lot more faster movement and more equipment to find ect.

Also playing as the arbiter gives you the slight advantage of the active camo (even though its 5 seconds on legendary)

you can fix halo 2 being hard.
by changing the difficulty down.

What no.... the Halo 2 Guns are nerfed compared to Halo 1. Only the BR is kinda better then the Magnunm from Halo 1 thats it, the rest is much harder in Halo 2 ... Elites take you 5 times faster out in Halo 2.

Also guys... you can make the Legendarys even harder its called Mythic or even better LASO.

Did literally anyone watch the video that OP posted? I'm attempting to speedrun Halo 2 Legendary, and it is obvious to see that survival by RNG plays the biggest factor as compared with the other Halos--an aspect which is compounded by its rushed development. Jesus, everyone telling OP to ♥♥♥♥ off is essentially jerking each other off, what the ♥♥♥♥.

I could assist you this weekend to speedrun. I've become increasingly better at Halo 2 Legendary and it doesn't frustrate me anymore. I also know all the speedrun starts for every level but Gravemgrind so you're on your own for that one.

[Asternshelf24]

Halo 2 Legendary isn't that hard for me anymore. The only levels which I find difficult are Oracle, Delta Halo, Regret and Gravegrind. So that's 4 out of the 15 levels (1 cutscene, 1 tutorial and 13 levels) this game has. Youtube is really helpful tbh. Watch Act Man and Hokiebird for a brief guide and Nak3d Eli for basic speedrun starts.

They didnt have time to balance it.
Halo 2's Development Was a Gigantic Mess

Reminds me of the game Journalists Begging FromSoftware to reduce the difficulty of Sekiro LMAO
