Halo 4

Halo 4: Unlock Master Chief's Armour for Multiplayer & Check out the Legendary Ending in HD
Written Wednesday, November 07, 2012 By Dan Webb
View author's profile

Since our review and Legendary tips feature went live earlier on this week I've been inundated with messages over Twitter, email and Xbox Live, all sharing the same sentiment: "Holy hell! This IS the hardest Halo yet!"

That said, there is more of an incentive than in years gone by to get through it. Not only is there the usual couple of hefty achievements to unlock, but this year sees the Legendary ending (kind of) return. What's more, complete it - we're not sure whether that's solo or co-op though - and you can don the Chief's Mark VI armour online and be the envy of your friends. I say "kind of" regarding the ending, because there's only a fraction of a second more than the Heroic ending, but it's a good fraction of a second!

Like I said previously, Halo 4 overall is in our opinion, and in many of yours, the hardest Halo yet. There's no chokepoints of really supremely difficult moments like previous Halos, but the whole experience is generally tougher thanks to the Prometheans. I also get the feeling already that some of you have given up or won't even attempt it, so today we thought we'd bring you the HD Legendary ending for your viewing pleasure in case you don't get that far or don't have the inclination to do it, as well as giving you a look at the Master Chief armour you can unlock. Enjoy!

Don't forget to check out our terminals guide here, our review here and our Legendary tips here.

Halo 4 Legendary Ending

  Master Chief Mark VI Armour

Nice choice of armor you get in Halo 4.
The 117 emblem finally i missed that...
The legendary ending looks like a movie, something tells me that Halo 5 first mission will be in a ship again...

Granted, I haven't played the game--but that ending seemed... lackluster. I mean, I don't get the point besides the "Let's try to build up some epic feeling and then cut away so we can make another game"...

@#6 - Not that I am defending spoilers being thrown around, but you did make the decision to read the comments.

The post is about the ending, so you should have expected it.

Well, my friends beat it on legendary and solo yesterday, which means it took him about a day... I am inclined to think that he is either the most amazing Halo player out there or this is not that hard after all=P

It really wasn't too bad. Once you now how to approach the Prometheans, they're not too bad. The first level with the Knights is the hardest, due to limited ammo. You can just bypass many encounters, though. There were a few tough sections, but nothing too crazy.

@4. That was after the credits. The real ending is before the credits. Although it wasn't a real cliffhanger. Just more of a saddening feel to the end. But after this. I can't wait to see why he'll don the armour that we all love again!

Halo 4 seem so out of place. this game felt like it had nothing to do with the previous games.
*SPOILERS* *SPOILERS* *SPOILERS*


You never see the flood, what happened to the Gravemind? Arbiter?
Nothing really came over from Halo 3 besides waking up where halo 3 ended.

SPOILERS
@25 The flood were destroyed at the end of Halo 3. They destroyed the Halo that was being constructed at the very end. That's why your driving the warthog to the Dawn and why the Dawn gets destroyed. The books detail what happens to the Arbiter. There is an elite civil war on the home planet this is why there are still some Covenant (and why they look somewhat different).

I didn't find legendary particularly hard. Sure there were some tough spots, but for the most part it really wasn't too bad. Halo 2 remains the most difficult campaign to beat in legendary.

@26 I find it very hard to believe that the flood have been destroyed. There were flood on both Halo's that you visit and on the planet you find in Halo Wars. It is very unlikely that there are no flood left in the halo universe. Also, just because the gravemind was destroyed that doesn't mean an end to the flood. The gravemind is just a mass conglomerate of flood. When it's destroyed, the flood just go back to a less advanced state. Also, there can be more than one gravemind. There was the most recent one that we destroyed and there was one in the Forerunner/Flood war. Also, when you find Keyes in Combat Evolved, that is a forming gravemind (aka Proto-Gravemind). Just thought I'd throw that in there.

@38 same, didnt get it it & the game hasnt recognised the game as completed on legendary despite the achieves, hope there will be an update but im doubting it.




SPOILER (kind of)
would have thought the legendary ending would have hinted at the new game if its meant to be start of a new trilogy & plus it had no easter egg as far as I know like the ODST monkey or johnson hugging an elite.

@39 You're right that the Flood aren't completely gone. I read somewhere (I forget where) that the Flood actually originated from outside the Milky Way; thus, it's highly likely that even if all the Flood in the galaxy were destroyed at the end of H3 (which is what I gathered from it), there are still more out there somewhere.

For those talking about the Flood you need to learn a litte more of your Halo history. The Flood still exist. They were never destroyed back during the time of the Forerunners. The Halo Arrays existed merely to kill their food supply which was sentient life. An also the flood came from outside our Galaxy.

I didn't find Legendary very difficult at all to be honest, on solo that is. I struggled with about three parts throughout, but after I cleared my head and got my focus back and brought some form of strategy (example being taking out Jackals with the Plasma Pistols before using the Banshee, common sense but eventually after playing for so long you lose that frame of mind). If this was the hardest Halo yet I'm tempted to go back and do them all on Legendary.

going to mention this now if you want get the mark 4 armor make sure you play while connected to the internet. I just beat this solo legendary and no armor because waypoint did not register that i beat missions 3 and 6 because i did it offline. So i have to do them again to get it. So good luck to you all and if you want make sure your on live.

Have to quote Cortana in Halo:CE here, just for those who are arguing the flood was killed by the rebuilt installation zero four.
"Halo doesn't kill Flood. It kills their food. Humans, Covenant, whatever. We're all equally edible. The only way to stop the Flood is to starve them to death. And that's exactly what Halo is designed to do: wipe the galaxy clean of all sentient life."

Just beat it. The game was considerably tougher. The crawlers were my only issue with this one. There are just too many! And at the end *SPOILER* you see the Chief's eyes once you fully complete Legendary. I beat it solo. So I'm not sure about co-op yet.

And @40 at the end of Halo 4, they don't hint at Halo 5 because of Spartan Ops which takes place 6 months after the New Phoenix incident, aka the end of Halo 4 when the Didact uses the Composer on Earth. Spartan Ops season 1 is over at this point, but season 2 should point us in the direction of the next Halo game.
