Subject: Favorite Halo 1 weapon combo for legendary

You'd probably shoot back if i wasn't T-bagging your dead body.

Just wondering what 2 weapons people used the most on legendary.
mine are: For killing covenant- plasma rifle and the pistol. for killing flood- pistol and shotgun. for killing covenant/flood- plasma rifle and shotgun.

(ill use a sniper whenever possible and the rocket launcher whenever necessary)

For me it depends on the type of game (campaign only) that I am into currently. It is probably easier for me to list weapons I do not use!

Needler-less than 2% of the time it is availabe
PRifle-only to kill popcorn flood, rather than waste ammo in my shotty or pistol same 2%
Rocket Launcher-The only times I automatically use a RL are two map spots- FInal Run to take out the Banshee that comes down the snowy tunnel (there is absolutely no cover to use there) and to take out the Wraiths at the end of the Two Betrayals big battle. All other times, I typically use either a Plasma Grenades, a PP or the Mag to take out vehicles. (2% of the time it is!)

I use the Mag, the Shotty, a PP and the Sniper Rifle the most. I always take the Sniper Rifle with me up the grav lift into Truth and Reconcilliation, it is a blast to use inside the ship!

It depends. On those close-quarters maps like parts of Two Betrayals, The Maw, and Keyes, I almost always have a shotgun (less room, thus less scattering), and a needler to take out groups of elites who can kill you in a few seconds on legendary. Other times, I usually have a Rocket launcher/Sniper and Plasma Rifle (on the first five levels) and later, I have a shottie and needler/RL/Sniper depending on the situation

You have reached the voice message system. To place this call as urgent, press eleven.

I do most of my work with the good ol' Pistol and AR, but I find that I'm often equiped with wild card combos like... Pistol and Needler or Sniper and Needler or Rocket and Needler. Actually you can pretty much throw anything with the Needler and be ready to blow up Halo. It homed so well- damn stinkies never had a chance.

Plasma rifle and pistol are pretty good.

  • 02.19.2008 3:53 AM PDT

Anytime there's a sniper, I'll take it, except for the end of Final Run, where I'll take out the Wraiths with the RL. I'll use RL's to take out any vehicles, while I use the PR, pistol, and Shotgun to take on ground forces at medium-close range.

Actually, I find the sniper rifle very handy for homing in on the wraiths at the distance I like to take them out at for the final battle in 2betrayals. I typically go just far enough over the berm to get my shots off (less travel back to the cache). Even though there are no reloads for the rifle, I like to take out the Gold Elites and the Jackals with the SR then paste everything else with rockets from a distance, I enjoy watching them scatter from the explosion! I find that I can hit a black elite dead on with a rocket, and then switch over to the SR and one shot to the head and he is gone. Makes both ammo's last longer.

^I like to use the infinite ammo glitch for that battle and snipe everyone. :D

My loadout for Legendary is usually pistol and snipe until I fight the Flood. Then it's pistol and shotty.

How do you do the infinite ammo glitch? That one's new to me.

How do you do the infinite ammo glitch? That one's new to me.
1. The weapon you want to use for this glitch must have an ammo clip to reload.
2. The weapon you want to use for this glitch must have reserve ammo.
3. You need a spare gun laying around that you can swap with to make this work.

The entire glitch is all done with just three presses of one button (X). Press X to start the reload animation, walk over to weapon laying on ground and quickly pick it up before the reload animation completes. Wait a moment while the weapon reloads itself on the ground and pick the weapon back up again. If you did it correctly then it'll be reloaded with bullets that were NOT subtracted from your reserve ammo.

And that works with rockets too??

Yes it works with rockets, sniper, pistol, AR, shotty (I think) and needler.

Anything that has to reload basically.

Pistol and shotgun for the most part.

Pistol and sniper. End of line...

  • 02.22.2008 7:11 AM PDT

Most of the time, the Plasma Pistol and the Pistol. But the Plasma Rifle works really well too against Elites. Flood? Shotgun (of course), and the Pistol for one-shotting them in the chest-cavity =P

EDIT: But that's mostly out of necessity, though. My favorite would have to be the AR and Needler, then =P

You've got to think crazy, of course, because you only get innovation by refining insanity. - Jason Jones

If I am fighting just the covenant I will use a plasma rifle and human pistol (sometimes switched out for assault rifle). If I am fighting the flood it is always assault rifle and shotgun.

  • 02.23.2008 7:54 AM PDT

Shotgun/pistol isjust great.

Covenant: Sniper and plasma pistol

Flood: shotgun and pistol

pistol shotgun combo

  • 02.27.2008 11:14 PM PDT

I see a lot of people saying pistol and shotgun... while it's a combo I love to use and feel good with, and it covers all your bases, you can get into trouble. The pistol simply isn't so hot against shielded enemies (particularly when the shields get so strong) and you have to get too close to use the shotgun - no matter how good you are at shooting and moving, if you run into the middle of the pack on legendary trying to shotgun down all the elites, everyone is going to make swiss cheese out of you.

I feel the plasma rifle is a must.

In levels where the pistol and shotty are available together it is rare for me to find that a problem. For Elites I almost always go for a stick with a nice warm Plasma (preferrably on their backside if I get lucky!). If I am low on nades, then I find a Plasma Pistol is a handy substitute and viola.........naked elite, look ma no shield! Then a single pistol round is all that is needed. Pick up my shotty and I am on my way.

If I am feeling bold (which is often) then the shotty is fine for elites, especially if you distract them by tossing any nade into their general direction. Then you can rush them and pump a few rounds into their black hearts and watch them twitch.....

The hardest part of the game with pistol and shotty is at the end of Keyes, if you are not using a needler to take out the 20 or so Black Elites that inhabit the end of the level, then life becomes difficult (if you play like I do, where EVERYTHING ON THE LEVEL MUST DIE!). Just prior to the battle to take a chunk out of Keyes Flood Brain, and just after, I am collecting Needlers for that battle. Then it is Needlers and Mag to fight most of the upcoming battle, with Shotty being taken with me for the Flood.

For Legendary, it is usually about taking a third weapon with you, that old swap and walk game. But it is handy.

"I used to give a damn, but I NEVER gave a f**k"

Pistol & Shotty. You just have to know how to conserve ammo wit em. I would OWN Halo 1 on Legendary. Wouldn't even die. The pistol in Halo 1 was NASTY!
