I've just finished halo on legendary and now I'm going through 2. I wanna do them both before 3 comes out.
I've been stuck on pelican bay 2 for hours now and I just can't get it!
Hints and tips please bungie community!
p.s. I've completed both on heroic.

That place was hardest for me. I absolutely hated that hangar. Other people say it was no sweat for them, idk.

Halo 2 Legendary is retardedly hard. It's that simple.

That being said, hide behind the boxes up top on the catwalk and jump up and stick/noob combo the Elites. BR works fine against the Grunts.

the trick is to get to where you can shoot them

step 1: nade like crazy to kill grunts and stuff.
step 2: BR the elites whose shields are down
step 3: kill the 2nd wave of elites with the noob combo
step 4: get upstairs by jumping on the two crates at the right as soon as you enter the pelican bay.
step 5: use any extra nades to kill grunts. now noob combo the rest of the elites.
You win!!

This part was easy just use the noob combo or anything with plasma then shoot them with a human gun when their shields are gone. I think that the hardest part on legendary has to be the beginning of the Gravemind level.

1. Get a Plasma pistol and A battle rifle.
2. Replace pistol before going to bay.
3. Take out grunts on turrets with smg.
4. Go back to grab plasma pistol.
5. Kill grunts with the br and when they are all gone hold a plasma charge and shoot elite and quickly BR him.

There are some BR ammo in the doors on the right near the dead soldier and the room before you go into the next bay. Another plasma pistol is near the stairs on your side.

If you are talking about the one with the two grunts on the plasma turrets, I can help. Take the two turret grunts out and jump to the top catwalk and go to the middle walkway with the turrets. You should see a box sitting by one of the turrets. The turret that I'm talking about is the one that's facing the side furthest from where you came in. Melee the box until it is all the way in front of the turret. At this point, get on the turret. For some reason there is a glitch where you'll be using the turret but half inside the box. None of the elites or enemies will be able to see you, so they won't fire back.
Shoot until satisfied of the enemies numbers. Take any stragglers out with the n00b combo.

Really a hard job to do, unless you use the noob combo.
Take cover behind the first box when you enter the room. BR the turret grunts. BR some of the remaining grunts, but not all of them since it will make the second wave appear. Overheat the plasma pistol and aim for an elite. Take cover for a split second to dodge the elite's response! Then aim for the head. Repeat and use grenades for the second and third wave.
If you can't get it, BR the grunts and take cover. Wait for the elites to turn their back to you. Don't come too close and avoid being seen by them! Stick them. Stick the white ones and immediately throw frags to kill them. A much easier way, but a slow one.

Hints and tips please bungie community!

1. Gather some plasma pistols and BR ammo, ensuring you have enoug for this stage of the level

2. Give BR's to your marine(s), depends on how many you kept alive

3. Don't enter the room at all, let them come to your killzone

4. Simply 'pop in & out' of the first box you see on the other side of the door. Go left side of box and noob ONLY one elite, then go the right side, then the left (it's a simple pattern to how the enemies shoot at you).

5. Use grenades, as mentioned by other posters use sticky grandes on elites to damage the whole pack. Plus when you're taking too much damage or another wave of enemies are arriving, bombard them with grenades.

6. Use appropraite force. First wave of enemies use noob only. Second wave, some frags and noob combo. Third wave, stickies/frags and noob. Keep your grenades in reserve for the 'hard fighting' in the later waves.
