Oddly enough, the second Pelican bay can be one of the toughest things in the game to accomplish without dying. I recommend the following:
Get Sputnik Skull first thing and then start Cairo Station. The advantage of the skull is that it allows you to move the crates in the bay around alot easier and quicker, to create more advantageous cover. Once you get back to that part, ignore your marines and take out the two plasma cannon grunts. Once they are done you will want to move the two large crates that are in just inside the initial opening to the hanger next to each other. I recommend moving the one on the right towards the one on the left. This creates a wide enough barrier for you to move in and out of cover while you fire off overcharged plasma shots at the closest elite and then pepper them with a headshot from the BR. You need to fire the BR shot as soon after the plasma overcharge hits because the elites in that bay move around alot more than they do in the rest of the game. If you have the Catch skull on, it is an absolute blast to take out the grunts only, and then watch what happens when you lob a grenade in their direction! All those plasmas laying around usually take out most of the lower level elites and the effect of sputnik has bodies flying all over the place!
You have to be patient in whittling down the waves, otherwise you are going to get wasted by the dual plasma rifle wielding elites. Take your time, let them settle down, then let them have it, rinse, repeat.
Good Luck!
I beat that today without dying.
It was kinda hard, but it's my around 10th time through that level on Legendary, so that helped a lot.
For the first level, make sure you always kill the grunts first. Their grenades will annoy the crap out of you. One second you'll be hiding, and you think you're safe, and the next minute you're doing that whole thing over again. Then, always have a few plasma pstols with you, because you'll need a ton to kill the elites, especailly if you're aim isn't so good. My advice is carry them over from previous rooms by dual weilding one, dropping it in your current room, and repeat the process.
The guy I quoted has it down. Just follow his advice.
If you ever need help with specific levels, PM me. I'll be happy to help.
