Legendary

==Summary==

It is symbolized by an [[Elite]]'s skull with a bullet-hole of the left side of its head, with two crossed [[UNSC]] Standard Issue [[Close Quarters Combat Weapon System|Combat Knives]] and the shield bearing the [[Marathon (video game series)|Marathon]] symbol, or in Halo 3: ODST it is symbolized by a ''Human's'' skull with two [[M7S Caseless Submachine Gun|Silenced SMGs]] and a shield.  It is unclear why, as the Elites are no longer your enemies, the Legendary symbol in ''Halo 3'' still shows an [[Elite]] with a bullet hole, ~~but~~ perhaps [[Bungie]] thought the original was better, or didn't want to swap it out for a [[Brute]] skull. It is regarded as a challenge for even veteran players, as allies are frequently useless, except for diversions, and overwhelming enemy firepower and superior numbers often force one to play cautiously and conservatively. Enemies are extremely strong, while you and your allies' strength is extremely low, often leading the player to die frequently. Legendary on ''Halo 2'' can be described as "Trial and Error." Completing the campaign on Legendary in all the Halo games, besides [[Halo 2]], unlocks an additional ending to the story.

Legendary was also the name of the highest difficulty setting in [[Bungie]]'s [[Myth]] series, in which it had the following flavor text: "You will brave the army of a commander who has never known defeat, and the piled dead will reach the heavens; but should you succeed, in an age not yet dawned, you will be spoken of as a god!"
