I beat the game on legendary in about 2 days. I think the easiest level in normal, heroic and legendary is ( besides for it being scary ) is 343 Guilty Spark.

I beat the game with the pistol and melee attacks ONLY on Legendary ( Course it took me forever....)
Just keep practicing on the lower levels, and remember to use hit and run tactics wherever applicable - otherwise you'll never make it up the stairs on PoA.

It takes alot of practice but once you get good at timing patience and honed skill Ledgendary will become a piece of cake (I cant even play SP halo 1 without playing ledgendary or else it will be way to easy)

Elites: Plasma Rifles are the easiest way to take them down also get good with plasma grenades also in close quarters maps Shotties also are great and vice versa with a SR also learn the patterns of the diffrent colored elites (you can take out a Blue Elite with one sniper hit to the head but a gold elite will take three whole shots to the chest!)

Jackal they alway try to flank you use this to your advantage by anticiapating their movements

Flood to battle them you need only a shottie and a AR for the spores

Hunters and grunts are ridculiously easy if you dont make a mistake

also cover is your best friend never go 3 seconds of being exposed this may sound boring but the tactics involved make the game alot more fun

hardest levels are

Truth and reconciliation: hope you like facing Gold Elites ;)

Two Betrayals: I dont know what it is about this level but it's long and your often overmatched

The Library: its so long and is so repetitive better have some time on your hand (and no one around you just throw your controll cussing it's so frustrating) infact it's the only ledgendary amp I havent finishem more than once

Easiest levels

POA: except the beginning (stuck in their to kick your butt and show you whos boss this is ledgendary after all) this level is fairly easy

Silent Cartographer: alot of overashields and lots of ammo and health

343 guilty spark: not to many enemies on this level

Yes, I've been the game on legendary. :-) Countless times. In fact, I've gotten so used to legendary, it's no longer either difficult or challenging. In fact, like many other people who've replied above, I find the lower difficulties *incredibly* boring, with "easy" being beneath my notice, even when glitch-hunting (although in co-op, my lil' bro can't keep up on legendary, so we go for normal). Having grown used to seeing shields recharge in a flash, the time it takes for shields to reload on Easy difficulty might as well threaten to kill me with old age. So like many others, I rarely (if ever) play on any other difficulty then Legendary.

The hardest level on Legendary, IMHO, is "Truth and Reconciliation". Took me bloody *ages* to survive the cargo bay, where a full 7-8 Golden elites wielding plasma swords burst from the doors and start plowing through the marines as if they're weeds under a lawn-mower. The sniper rifle was my best friend on that level, and I used it even in close quarters (against the elite swordsman, at least... when they charge, a full shots to the head is enough). But the one weapon I value above any other- sniper rifle or not, is the Plasma Pistol. With a quick trigger-finger, some players can literally exhaust an elite's shields (and oft-times, health) before the weapon overheats entirely. I'm one of them- I rely on the plasma pistol so much, it's rare for me to go through a level on *any* difficulty without having one at hand. And let me tell you- even plasma rifles are useless if you're able to use the pistol well enough- empowered shots, or not.

Overall, I'll just say this to any other players wanting to finish the game on Legendary: Don't bother trying to hone your skill to a "master that can blitz a level on legendary without dying, guns-a-blazing". No player could ever do so, because there's more to survival skill on legendary than simple brute-strength. Covert tactics, rapid-fire blasts, silent melee attacks, careful grenade use and knowing where/when to hide and when to fight all constitute to skill on legendary. And, having learned so many of these tactics and integrated them into one's own skill with Halo, it becomes difficult to go back to playing the game on lower difficulties.
