'''Easy''' is the least challenging difficulty setting on ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', ''[[Halo 2|2]]'', ''[[Halo 3|3]]'', ''[[Halo 4|4]]'', ''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'', ''[[Halo Wars]]'', ''[[Halo: Reach]]'', ''[[Halo 5: Guardians]]'', ''[[Halo Wars 2]]'' and ''[[Halo Infinite]]''. The enemies are few, target inaccurately, and are overall far weaker than on higher difficulty levels. Many players use it to learn the story. After they accomplish it on Easy, they will often play again on harder difficulties. | |||
