Is Halo 3 supposed to be so ridiculously hard?

[morgs]

Note I am playing on the easiest difficulty.

I bought this game a while back to see what all the hype was about, and gave up half way through because it was so frustrating.

I haven't had much experience with Halo, this being the first one I have played on console, So maybe I'm just well out of practice.

I seem to be dying all the time. It is taking me forever to progress, because it seems I have to pull off a fight perfectly in order to survive it.

Like I said maybe I'm just not used to the game. I just got a tank and am finding the controls, specifically turning to be rather frustrating.

This is the only game I have played in a long time that I have had so much trouble with, I'm not sure why. It just seems like one big trial.

Keep pressing jump, even when it makes no sense to do so
Reload very frequently
If you are within 20 feet, run to the enemy and melee them
Throw grenades, there will be some around the next corner anyway
Stick to battle rifle (the one that fires in bursts), Covenant carbine, or plasma rifle at the very least. Don't use dual weild.


I loved Halo online, Halo 2 was the best.

There, I said it.

Are you on Legendary?


Also this reminds me of when I got Oblivion, and out of the box it came with the difficulty maxed. Took me ages to get out of the starting dungeon,a nd it wasn't until a friend started a new game that I realized the issue.

I'm on Normal I think, I'm up to the twin scarab battle so hopefully I'm almost done

wat? I played Halo 3 on the second to hardest difficulty at a friend's house once and nearly beat it. The only reason I didn't was because I had to leave.

Oh and having to nail a covenant 5-10 times in the head can get somewhat ridiculous. That's one thing that's always turned me off about Halo's SP. Besides, it's Halo anyways.

SP Halo has always sucked. Your playing with a friend right?

 

[morgs]

No, none of my friends like Halo :\

'sok tho, finished it today thanks all.

 

[Jintor]

I've always found Halo to be waaaay more fun co-op.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Legendary with the hard skulls on. Tell me about frustrating.

Too hard? A friend and I were just playing the game on legendary and thought it was too easy.
