Heroic pits you against the [[Covenant]], who are now slightly smarter, and their [[weapons]] inflict more damage per hit than their Normal-level counterparts. Even the weakest of infantry, the Grunts, can withstand quite a few bullets before they go down. It is otherwise considered "Hard", in other games. Although in Normal [[Master Chief]], The [[Covenant]] and the [[Marine|Marines]] have a more reasonable strength and health, Bungie has stated that Heroic difficulty is the "true Halo universe", due to the fact that in Heroic enemy numbers and accuracy are more realistic.
