i tried posting this over at New Mombasa, but apparently no one there has enough mental capacity to read the whole thing. i know this is the wrong froum, but no one at NM was any help.

ok, i'm stuck. i'm on the level where you have to follow Truth and try and get the index back (can't remember what it's called), and i'm at the part where you have to rescue that marines.

ok, here's the problem: i'm on heroic, i'm barely coming down the grav lift, and already everyone has seen me, including the brute at the bottom. about 2 seconds after i step off of the lift, my shields are gone. i have a brute shot with 4 grenades left, and a carbine with about 30 shots in reserve (full clip). i've tried several different things and so far my record is 3 grunts, a jackal, and the brute before i die again.

help?

Sorry to say, you might have to start the level over because you should be right behind the Brute and just be able to melee him.

restarting would be the best solution or turning into Neo and dodging all the bullets that also works

Kill the Brute as soon as you drop in, then pick up that Brute Shot ammo in the crate behind you. Use the Carbine on the Grunts, and the Brute Shot and Plasma Grenades on the Jackals. Tossing a grenade will usually get the Covenant off your back for a couple seconds, so you should be able to make a run for cover.
