And Sonic and Pahat both have been kind enough to offer tips and such that have really helped.
I've started Crow's Nest and here's a little review on what I've managed to do so far...
Did any of you beat Halo 2 on Legendary solo? Remember Cairo Station hangar 2? On SLASO, that's what the Brute hall right after the bomb intro reminds me of. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the Black Eye Skull, but seeing as how your only real chance for success here comes from gunning down the Brutes from a distance, this becomes a challenge.
The real humdinger comes after you manage to take down a few, then more show up and two wielding carbines (which like to eat away at your shields like pinpoint accurate candy!). I finally found a strategy that seems to be working for that battle.
First, stockpile that small corridor with plasma pistols from the drone battle, and also at least two extra battle rifles. Then *push* five or six Marines down into that little tunnel as well. Once you're set, rush into the Brute hall and stop at the barricade. The back door will now shut, trapping the Marines on your side. When you think you've been pegged to many times, blast off the shields from one of the Brutes. This will cohearce it into charging at you. When it gets close to the door, back up and place the Marines between you and the Brute. They won't shoot, but they'll gain the Brute's attention long enough for you to assassinate it and recharge your shields.
