Normal is not too hard, but not too easy. The enemies will not cower as much, and a few [[Unggoy|Grunts]] will throw [[Plasma Grenades]]. Normal mode | Normal is not too hard, but not too easy. The enemies will not cower as much, and a few [[Unggoy|Grunts]] will throw [[Plasma Grenades]]. While Normal mode represents strength and health for [[John-117|Master Chief]], [[Sangheili|Elites]], and all other [[Covenant]] and [[UNSC Marine Corps|Marines]], intelligence, enemy accuracy, and enemy numbers are the most realistic in [[Heroic]]. | ||
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 [[United Nations Space Command|UNSC]] [[machete]] from right to left; in ''Halo 3: ODST'', the knife is replaced with an [[M7S SMG]]. | The icon for the Normal difficulty setting is represented with a shield that has the [[Marathon]] Logo encrusted into the center.

When the player encounters 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 [[M90 shotgun|Shotgun]]. The last most effective weapon is the [[Type-25 Spiker|Spiker]]. The Flood's unarmed attacks are not that worrying on their own, but if large groups attack the player or he/she gets hit from behind, then the player has an extremely high chance of being killed. | When the player encounters the [[Flood]], most [[plasma]] weapons are average and most human weapons are a bit better.

Marine allies have their own strengths and weaknesses. They can quickly gun down Grunts and Jackals, but will easily get overwhelmed by Brutes and higher ranking Elites. This will require players to prioritize on fighting the stronger enemies while having the allies focus on the weaker enemies. | |||
