It is INSANE how fast those jackal snipers are! You have to move and shoot them first. I know that sounds simplistic but it takes practice and that is exactly what you have to do to get past them. Another secret is to find out where they are and where they come out from.

i can kill elites easily on lagendary but the phantoms that drops the elites down on the level "outskirts" are too hard!

Well, there is a reason the level of difficulty is called Legendary now isn't there! Legendary is alot harder, as it should be. The number and skill of the enemies increases of course, but I have to admit that whoever at Bungie it was that decided on how the JSnipers operate, well they have a pretty large mean streak. Having said that, I am glad they did, becuase it makes wiping those puppies out that much more rewarding!

It took my stepbrother and I 8 hours to beat The Great Journey on Legendary... I remember being up until 4.

It really isn't that hard...except for the Jackal Snipers. The snipers were about the only thing that made it really hard

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

Its easier alone because you dont have to worry a bout your friend dying. I did it alone in 4 hours, 2 of which were attempting to kill tartarus. On the topic of snipers, you know that part before you kill the wraith and ghosts on metropolice, that's riddled with snipers? I killed all of them without dying in my first try, only to be sniped by one jackal that i missed. :( frustrating.

You can always do the "skip sniper alley" option -

The doorway where the Hunters come into the courtyard has some conspicuous metal beams sticking out on the left side. Hop up on those, get on the roof, and it's just a jump to the Hotel Zanzibar area.

Tartarus is a matter of staying up top & waiting for those occasional 3 snipes in a row to land. Wait for those & let him have it. Should just take a few minutes.

H-2 is way harder than H-3. I completed every level (except Cortana) on Mythic without dying 2 months ago. Took like a year to get them all on H-2 on Legendary.

I made it to the part after the jackal snipers, I jumped over the rooftops and skipped alot of it though. Halo 2 legendary is so much harder than Halo 3 legendary.

Skipping the JS areas is missing all of the satisfaction of SHOOTING THEM IN THE HEAD!!!!

I think the Halo2 Legendary setting is pretty horrible. Extremely hard yes but unreasonably hard. The one shot sniper deaths are agonizing, especially when your marine buddies take 2 or 3 shots.

Outskirts is REALLY easy on Legendary. No kidding.

Do the rooftop jump so you can pass like a hundred Covenant. You'll pass snipers, Hunters, Drones. Then, you can get into a Warthog and drive on the edges until you pass everything.

All you have to do is get the snipers, that's basically it. But the problem is they are hard to find and kill before they kill you. But if you're good and you play with someone good, it's possible.

RIP Halo 2

i've beaten it on legendary multiple times
you get very good at it
it's very easy to just get on the rooftops and kill the sniper jackals that way
