==Summary==
Normal is not too hard, but not too easy. The enemies will not cower as much, and a few [[Grunts]] will throw [[Plasma Grenades]]. Normal mode has the most realistic strength for [[Master Chief]], [[Elites]] and all other [[Covenant]] and [[Marines]], though intelligence, enemy accuracy, and enemy numbers are the most realistic in [[Heroic]]. Although the strength of the [[Master Chief]] is reasonable in [[Heroic]], the strength of the Master Chief is slightly stronger than the [[Elites]], hence, this is disputably the most realistic mode.

The icon for the Normal difficulty setting is represented with a shield that has the [[Marathon]] Logo encrusted into the center. Over the shield is a [[UNSC]] [[Close Quarters Combat Weapon System]] from right to left.

The most dangerous thing at close range is an [[Elite]] with an [[Energy Sword]], and from a distance is a [[Sniper Jackal]] with a [[Beam Rifle]]. [[Grunts]] are still very easy to dispatch of and will more often than not run if the Elite with them is killed, which is also fairly easy. [[Drones]] and [[Jackals]] (with the exception to snipers) are the second easiest to kill, even with their unique capabilities. Elites, [[Brutes]], and [[Hunters]] are around the same overall in difficulty to kill. It mainly depends on the player's weakness as to which enemy is harder to kill.

On the [[Halo 2|''Halo 2'']] level, [[Regret (Level)|Regret]], where you have to kill the [[Prophet of Regret]], his gravity beam will drain around one third of your [[energy shield]]. He is fairly easy to kill when you jump on him and start punching him. Only if you stay on him for a considerably long time, he will [[teleport]] away. The [[Honor Guards]] protecting him will not do much damage, unless they have [[energy swords|Energy Swords]].

When you encounter the [[Flood]], most [[plasma]] weapons are average and most human weapons are a bit better. The most effective weapon is the Energy Sword, which will kill a [[Combat Form]] in one hit. The second most effective is the [[Shotgun]]. The Flood's unarmed attacks are not that worrying on their own, but if large groups attack you or you get hit from behind, then you have an extremely good chance of being killed.
