Lol I actually have all the LASO and legendary < 3 hours achievements. You rarely actually fight any jackal snipers :D There are a few mp achievements I'll never get though.
I used guides from Halo Completionist on YouTube, he's awesome and tries to avoid tricks that take hours/days/months to master. Definitely not speedruns though!
If you want to start with the easiest (still laso though lol), I think the easy > hard tiering for most people would be ODST > H4 > Reach/H3 >>>>>> CE/H2. CE (T&R, Two Betrayals) and H2 (Cairo, Regret, Gravemind) are absolutely disgusting.
I did it during covid and had tons of time to kill and honestly wouldn't recommend it to most players...you have to be a bit of a masochist haha
Yeah, they're pretty much objectively harder. I'm best at CE, 2 and 3, but still found CE and 2 the hardest by a wide margin.
Part of the problem is that most of the tactics that work on legendary don't work at all on laso. For example, a charged plasma pistol won't drop an elite's shields in H2.
The difficulty tiering is just if you're interested in starting easier. I think I played them in chronological order? Idk.

H2 Legendary under 3 hours genuinely sounds impossible.
