Welcome to the club. I have no idea either. I can't figure out the key to getting passed that area as well. Though I wouldn't be surprised if there are many people in the same boat as us, there is something about that part that makes it extremely difficult.

You Should try using a battle rifle and using BXR on the elites and then just shoot the grunts and Jackles

BXR the elites? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. That doesn't kill the elites or even take their shields down on legendary. Use of the combo is key to getting past almost any level on Legendary.

I've had a lot of trouble on that level. Legendary, for the most part, is just whoring the PP/BR combo.

  • 07.25.2007 10:57 AM PDT

Add this if you want team snipers back.

plasma pistol and battle rifle also grenades. that parts easy, the hard part for me was when your on the gondala and the banshees attack+flying elites+grunts with those plama cannons+buggers. buggers are the hardest thing about legendary.

  • 07.25.2007 11:08 AM PDT

Yeah, I think you're going to have to sink to the hateful combo.

Yeah I think we all had to stoop so low. That part is just impossible. On legendary, you pretty much have to unload an entire BR clip on those elites. I would just use the combo. Get past the level and forget about it.

Make it past that second hangar, you still need to do these annoying fights:

Outskirts when you keep the building

Outskirts "Sniper Valley", although that's not too bad as you know where all of them will be.

Metropolis Park, where the marine tries to pick you up in a gauss hog, my tip is to kill the Marine and run with the hog out of that fight, into the next fight and try to get past that, just by driving a way, make sure to fishtale to avoid being shot a lot. For the 2 Snipers in the 3 Wraiths fight, make sure you have a Beam Rifle and park yourself by a tree on the opposite side of them via street. Hard to explain.

First two Arbiter levels aren't bad, to defeat the Heretic Leader, Either Needlers, Fuel Rod Cannon or Sword.

Delta Halo isn't bad. Except for that one part with a lot of drones and snipers.

Regret may be the worst, Snipers in the first area EVERYWHERE. And in the underwater building which is hard.

Gravemind, first part is impossible unless you get a Carbine.

Uprising can be easy with lots of strategy.

Great Journey, easy with strategy, easy to kill Tartarus if you use a Banshee. If not, Make sure to use a Carbine for his Brute buddies and Duel Brute Plasma Rifles for Tartarus, it kills him the fastest.

1 word n00b combo. I just get lucky most of the time and my marines will take out an elite and i just go take cover and take the elites out when out of range of their plasma rifles.

I can but i usually have a couple holes in the wall and the controller has fingernail marks in it. Wanna get super angry bust your chipmunk? Try it on legendary with mythic and thunderstorm. Ive gotten past the 1st elite and 3rd grunt.

i used the plasma pistol/battle rifle combo and used lots of plasma and frag grenades, i got by it just fine (after lots of tries of course, but still made it through)

  • 07.25.2007 5:54 PM PDT

Bahahaha... BXR the elites. I can't get over that.

  • 07.25.2007 7:04 PM PDT

That place is the hardest in the entire game .. took me and my friend on co-op about an hour just to get through the hangars.

Anyways, what we did is first we threw eight plas (four from each of us), then four frags and head shotted the elites down.

After the next wave came we used noob combo and threw more nades.

And as for how you'd do this on single player campaign? I just glitched through the level, no way I could have done this myself.

  • 07.25.2007 7:16 PM PDT

Huh. I've done this with my roommate and we passed it pretty easily. I remember the part not being as easy as the rest of the campaign, but it wasn't impossible, nor did it require extra special planning or anything.

I've never tried it by myself though.

I just beat the first level in an hour last night by myself with help from the guide at halo.bungie.org. I didn't even die at hangar 2. Don't know why I couldn't do it before. I guess I'm pretty good then.

I have read somewhere that Cairo Station is the hardest level in the game because of how small it is and how many enemies you have to kill.

My only advice is save your grenades and bring multiple plasma pistols with ya.

I have not been able to get past it solo, but with a buddy I was able to get past it once.

Haha don't knock it, it works on low difficulty if they're already damaged a bit, it's pretty funny too. Bungie should've put in a special dialogue for that - like the elite shouting OMG HAX! as he went down.
