What difficulty level do you normally start off on?

[toxicity_27]

I usually do a play through on Normal. If I go back and play again I'll up the difficulty. Though, my first time through on Halo 3 I played on Legendary straight away.

I usually will start off on "Normal" just to situate myself into the game and get a feel for the AI. I never touch Easy, and if Normal is too easy, I bump it up a notch or two.

I try to avoid Normal and Easy... but on my old rig with Halo or Halo 2, or COD4 or COD2 I would not be able to run it at higher difficulties because there were so many more enemies and a lot more gun firing, as a result my PC would be bought to its knees. Nowadays, with my newer rig, I usually go for the 2nd highest then advance my way up

LOL, I've never heard of a case where hardware limited difficulty level That's funny! I know when I used to play AoE on my Celeron 533 I would get major lag when I got more than like 100 people on screen.

I usually just play on Normal, sometimes I adjust easier or harder but I usually think that "Normal" is what the developers intended so that's how I like to play it.

Ya, when Covenant have a lot of Hunters and a lot of Grunts, Elites and Jackals on Legendary spamming out their Fuel Rod Guns, Needlers and other plasma based weapons, respectively.. it really starts bringing your system down hard
