- "Your foes cower and fall before your unstoppable onslaught, yet final victory will leave you wanting more."
- — Description from Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary, and Halo: The Master Chief Collection.
Easy is the first and least challenging difficulty setting present in mainline games within the Halo franchise. Easy is characterized by lower enemy counts, weaker enemy targeting of players, and the enemy's overall lower resistance to damage than higher difficulty settings.
Summary[edit]
The Easy shield, as per Halo: The Master Chief Collection's release.
The icon for the Easy difficulty setting is represented by a bare and unobstructed shield, other difficulties are represented by the same shield but with the addition of weapons and skulls laid across it. The shield originally featured the Marathon logo carved into its center, but has since been removed with the release of Halo: Reach. Easy is encouraged for players who are new to Halo and first-person shooters in general, and who want to learn the plot of the games without much challenge from the game's myriad of enemies. The Easy and Normal difficulty options feature additional control mapping tutorials to aid players, such as a look inversion test; these tutorials are skipped on Heroic and Legendary.
Achievements, Challenges, and Commendations will generally not progress on this difficulty. Additionally, collectibles such as skulls traditionally cannot be earned on Easy.
General differences[edit]
Notable differences on this difficulty in general include:
- NPCs deal reduced damage, have lower accuracy, and are less aggressive.
- NPC projectiles are slower with poorer tracking.
- NPCs rarely, if ever, throw grenades or overcharge plasma pistols.
- Low rank NPCs are common and higher ranks are rare.
- Easy otherwise shares much in common with Normal difficulty.
