I've been playing the campaign on Legendary with the Tough Luck, Catch, Famine, Tilt, Mythic, Thunderstorm, IWHBYD, Grunt Birthday Party, and Cowbell skulls turned on. The game has become incredibly difficult, with each multi-brute encounter playing out like a harder version of the second hangar bay in Halo 2.
For the barracks battle, I had to stockpile over a dozen plasma pistols and several battle rifles to take out everyone except the chieftain. After eliminating everyone else in the room, I just ran away from the chieftain into the next hallway. Fortunately, he didn't follow me down the shaft.
The Tsvao Highway encounter with the Wraith featured over 14 brutes! There was no way I would have gotten out of that encounter alive, as there wasn't enough ammo to go around. I was able to avoid the battle, however, by walking along the hill to the right of the buildings. I jacked a Wraith on the final two battles on the highway, which made completing the mission fairly easy.
