You need to strafe the whole time and you need hide a lot. You can't be heroic and go charging in guns a blazing. You have to use some guerila tactics.

I have completed the whole game on legendary a few times. I have trouble on a few levels, like 'T+R', 'The Library', 'Keyes' and 'The Maw'. SOMETIMES I get my friend to help using Co-op for these levels BUT I have completed the whole game once by myself.

There is some truth to this, when your shields have been shot away you quickly have to hide or you are going to get taken out.

I hardly ever strafe as when I do it doesn't seem to make much difference except it means I get to the enemy slower.

My tactics are to stealthy go into battle and take out as many enemies as you can without alerting the others. When the enemy is alerted is the time when I 'go charging in, guns a blazing'

True 'nuff. I have completed the game in all levels as I got better - and have completed legendary. As you go into harder settings, you need to do more stealth manuvers if possible, just head whacking as many as possible so as not to awaken the others. Grunts are sleeping on the job and are easy to take out if you are patient. Also, try to take out the toughest enemy first then the rest. Like if there are elites and grunts, aim for the elites first then kill off the grunts next. The game does get easier the more you play.

elites...easy . charged plasma shot and pistol to head.

grunts.....well anything!

hunter......i play with them! you can but if you want to conserve ammo then i guess shooting em once in the stumach or any area with orange.

jackels.....shoot em through the small groove in the shield and that will expose their head.

umm, now how to do it on legendary! accurate shots to the body whilst side steping and hide to recharge shields. smack elites in back if they dont see you and granades on their bodies! lovely. Use the environment to your advantage! jumping helps too helping you achieve nice head shots and less hits to your armour. Dont stick to two single weapons, if you find a weapon which will give you the advantage take it. Example, elite in distance..dodges plasma shots and hides when hit. needler near by, take it, use it, advance forward!

yeah its hard and takes every bit of skill possible. your best friend is the pistol and some well placed shots to the head. dont try to take on an elite unless you have a plasma weapon( i like a charged pistol) as it will only be a waste of your health. dont give up its not that hard.

iv beaten the game on legandary and the only lvl i had trouble with was T&R all i did on the other lvl was charge in and whoop with the shotgun or strafed around elites with a needler (nothing more satisfying than killing a legandary red elite with the needler)

I have beaten it on Legendary a few times. The Pistol and tge Plasma Pistol is your friends. The needler is your best partner against Elites. Hunters=easy kill, almost as easy as killing a Grunt, just shoot them with the pistol when they expose their body. And hide when you can. I am going to play much Halo until the release of Halo 2, to keep up my master-skills.

In my opinon there is no magic advice to give to make you amazing on legendary. Ive completed most of the levels many times on Legendary (i dont play libary or 343 GS unless I am forced to) and i still die. Its not as if i can charge through a level in about 10 minutes killing everything in my path. No one can. And if they say they can they are a filthy rotten liar..... If you want to beat legendary, my advice would be to get a pal and play it through with him. Then try it by yourself. Through persistance comes success...... or somthing like that. Now, where did i put my Samurai mentoring book........

Posted by: Samurai mentoring book........

It would ruin the game but for an unlockable feature for HALO2 it would be so cool to use a samurai sword as your only weapon.....but just my opinion

Who here has beaten legendary without dieing every lvl.... Me and a friend ahve done everything but library and we were so close. Legendary with dieing is as easy as easy difficulty with only grunts. If u wanna test out ure true skill beat the whole game without dieing on this difficulty.

NOTE Two Betrayals may take a few months to accomplish :)

HumanPistol, I have also beaten the game without dying at all. However, I went by some "guidlines".

-If I died, I started the level over, not the WHOLE game. So technically I've beaten ever LEVEL without dying.

-Single player only.

-If you're about to die, "reverting to saved" doesn't get you out of anything, it counts as a death.

The library wasn't that hard, I had some trouble on Halo, actually. At the begining of the level, when you get to the first Marine hold before the warthog gets dropped off. That was fairly difficult at the time, but now I know how to do it easier (I used to try to save all of the marines, but now I just chill in the tower and wait for the Covies to rush up the ramps).

Legendary is a piece of cake, I seriously don't play anything lower. If me and friends want to try glitches, or just get to a certain part of a level real quick, we still play on legendary, it's a walk in the park, really.

Someone earlier in the thread mentioned Elites being easy because one charged up Plasma Pistol hit takes them, a melee and a few shots after that and they are toast. Well that is dead on.

You see I hate Covie weapons, so I never used the Plasma Pistol. When I was messing around one day, I picked one up, and legendary elites became so EASY. I mean, usually you see a Gold Elite with an energy sword and start retreating, throwing nades, and shooting. With the plasma pistol, you can CHARGE at him. It's not FUN or DIFFICULT.

You guys want a challange, Legendary with no plasma pistol.

If you're having trouble on Legendary you should play it co-op first. Even if you don't have another person to play with, : (, just have 2nd player stand back and spawn you every time you die. It's long and tedious but as you work at it it will get easier.

I like to use the needler and some other plasma weapon for the first half of the missions. Once the flood show up I try to have shotgun and needler. Needler is the best at taking out elites or a cluster of baddies!
