Does anyone play on easy anymore??
For Legendary:
USE THE DARN PLASMA PISTOL! It is one of the most versatile and useful weapons there is in the game, and there is pretty much an infinite supply of them. You can kill anything close to you with one, you can snipe stationary targets from a long distance (grunts in turrets, wraiths and hunters come to mind) and the overcharge followed up by a good blast from the AR is one of the great tools to getting through legendary.
USE COVER! There is so much good cover available and on Legendary it can be the difference between dying alot and dying alot less. There are so many forerunner structures that are narrower at the top and wider at the base that they make for great crouch and pop shooting platforms.
USE DISTANCE! Granted, I love taking out enemies from right in front of me, but during the outdoor map parts you have to get good with the pistol zoomed in on enemies. I take just as much satisfaction following a charged pp shot with a single round to the head of a jackal or elite as I do taking out something with the shotty from something stupid enough to get right in my face.
MANAGE YOUR RESOURCES! Do not walk over ammo and health packs unless you have too. Save them, yes that means you will have to do some walking (quite your whining!) or some ghost ferrying but you can go most levels without even re-supplying your pistol if you use it smartly.
There is alot more to be said, for specific situations. Personally I try to stack the odds against myself alot of the time. When the game starts to get a bit stale after a few weeks of hardcore playing I will often make sure I have the weakest weapon combo, or get myself to one lil health blip as quick as possible and NOT use any health packs for the remainder of the level.
For those looking for more challenges, go to bad cyborg and try to set up some of the megabattles he outlines and such, that site is insane!
