I was playing one mission where my friend and I were co-op Legendary it. I was on a Wraith and he was on a Scorpion, and I shot near a ghost that was passing by us. It flew at super-fast speed, spinning and smashed right into a rock. That was hilarious. Still, the new enemies definitely are tough. I have no problems killing Covenant in Legendary. It's the new enemies that end it for me.

Just got done with Legendary solo. It was made worse by having played it somewhat on Co-op on previously completed Legendary solo levels with my brother and breezing through formerly hellish locations.
Only seemed to make the remainder of Legendary that much harder.

Yeah I completed Spartan Ops Episode 1 days ago, and have already been through it on Legendary. Also hellish in level 3, but such is the way of Crawlers.
And no, Halo 4 has been the absolute worst Legendary difficulty I've played thus far. I still believe that Halo's developers keep trying to make every subsequent game's Legendary mode harder than the last, and it wouldn't surprise me if they accidentally made the game unplayable at Legendary at some point in the future.

Heh, I remember beating Halo 2 legendary + thunderstorm, mythic, tough luck, and cloud. Just beat 4 on heroic and am starting a vanilla legendary run. Might try something similarly crazy afterwards though.
Spoiler:
I'm optimistic to see where else 343i and the writers take this story. Halo 4 was a great success.

So, yeah, two more to go. Anyway, I'm very impressed with Halo 4's cutscene CGI; those are some of the most well-done graphics I've seen lately. Lighting, texture, facial animation - quite a feast for the eyes. I wonder if Spartan Ops isn't actually a bridge towards H5's main storyline. 343i has already decided to stuff a lot of the H4 backstory (and circumstances that led to the events in H4) in the Forerunner and Kilo-5 novels, so maybe they're doing the same thing for H5, except this time it's with Spartan Ops? That's a nice way to keep the fans on edge and make the wait for the next trilogy installment seem much shorter.

It seems too small a point to make in a trilogy (at least they've done this in this first game already), though I suppose it could be those types of locations in which some mysteries of the precursors are further explored, so who knows.

There's tons of ways they could approach this, if they choose to (I suspect they will).

I almost forgot about this, though it seems from in game evidence (from the various errors Cortana made), she wasn't immune to it but was probably a stronger AI in general. Again evidenced by the comment Didact made about her.

Well, as far as Rampancy-induced AI deaths go, that's apparently caused by a lack of a suitable container, since their filesize grows exponentially. Presumably to avoid that Cortana simply needs a large enough computer to expand in to reach metastability. One other human AI has accomplished this. Other avoidance of Rampancy may be referring to a lack of hostility towards humankind?
Spoiler for Final Level events:

Well the Halo Books said an AI can only be a true living being or entity by going through Rampancy, this is the final stage of Rampancy. It is called Metastability. So maybe that is what 343 is aiming for, and why all the spoiler tags? Rampancy isn't really a new thing in Halo Universe.

I wonder what is Chief's next armor? Chief's armor is already old by Halo standards. The Spartan IVs had the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor Second Generation and there is another improvement of the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor first generation called the Mark VII. SO I am think either one of those, more likely the Mark VII due to the fact Dr. Halsey made it so Chief may favor it over the Second Generation.
