In the original ''Halo'' trilogy, legendary difficulty is symbolized by an [[Sangheili|Elite]] skull with a bullet-hole through one side, two crossed [[Combat knife|combat knives]] and a shield bearing the ''[[Marathon]]'' symbol, though the symbol is not visible behind the skull. In ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', the symbol is adjusted to a [[human]] skull with two crossed [[M7S Caseless Submachine Gun|Suppressed SMGs]] in front of the same shield with the ''Marathon'' symbol, now slightly visible behind the skull. In ''[[Halo: Reach]]'' and ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'', the original legendary symbol returns, but these games, along with future titles, lack the ''Marathon'' symbol on the shield. In ''[[Halo 4]]'', the shield and the combat knives have been redesigned while the skull of a [[Promethean Knight]] replaces the previous skulls. | In the original ''Halo'' trilogy, legendary difficulty is symbolized by an [[Sangheili|Elite]] skull with a bullet-hole through one side, two crossed [[Combat knife|combat knives]] and a shield bearing the ''[[Marathon]]'' symbol, though the symbol is not visible behind the skull.
