When I was going through with pistol and melee, I died on the Library more than anything else, because of the timing of the flood. ( I.E. They don't come out unless you are in a certain spot.)

And you are right impurity, you probably have a lot better experience with the frenzied close quarters fighting like found on Longest and Chiron, but a more rounded style is required if you are going to do well on live - I for one won't let you get close to me...

I just finished The Library on legendary and I was surprised on how easy it was. I died maybe once, due to a rocket to my face. It was way easier than the rest of the levels. Now I start Two Betrayals. Yikes.

Legendarys easy. If you use the right weapons. I like to use the plasma pistol with either the shotgun or plasma rifle. Use the pistol to take out the elites shields and the other weapon to finish them off.

I agree that it really depends on the level PoA was dissapointingly easy, Halo was OK. I thought that the area with the gravlift was about medium on T&R, but the part right after that was crazy hard. I havn't totally finished Legendary yet ((I havn't had my Xbox for more than a month)) but from what I've done on legendary, the difficulty is just about perfect for me.

You guys have said some pretty odd stuff i'm supprised you get past anything at all.

Taking the Active Camo when you go up the Grav Lift in T&R and Run and Gun???
Thats -blam!- Rediculous. You sit on top of the inactive Plasma Tank and snipe the invisible and Golden elites and can cover every door from there... You can see the invisible guys coz you just look at their plasma sabre's handel and aim a little up and to the opposite direction of the blade. Also, forget the marines... they slow you down. And eventualy you'll get used to some of their sayings and accents that you'll try save them and endanger yourself.

You guys are scary, Library hard? It's the easiest lvl out of them all... the flood are mindless and there is plenty of ammo to dispatch... i personaly hate its repetitiveness so much i just run past them all and only fight when its absolutly necessary.

Elites of any nature are easy if you understand there combat strat... dont throw grenades and if you HAVE to, then throw 1 in each direction.... left & Right. Dont stand their trying to out gun them either, keep moving in odd patterns... preferable at them and on an angle.

Also, remember that a melee attack to the back is an instant kill... so going through on pistol and melee isn't that much more difficult. Also the Plasma pistol will -blam!- up an elite shield quicker if you fire it much faster.

Try to over heat her in under 1 second, best way to fire faster is only use your finger tip on the trigger... not your whole finger... and remember, trigger is sensative so dont push hard... just tap it ...almost like vibrating your finger.

Try that and you might think twice about the Human Pistol.

all the levels are easy. i just run out with a plasma pistol/AR and whoop everything. im only good in close range combat (so the shotgun is my friend) and the library is SO easy! just wait around a corner the BAM. use the shotgun on anything that comes around.

It depends if I just rush through the levels or try and kill all the enemies and save all the marines. If you just kill what you have to and keep moving, it is relatively easy, but if you stay to kill every soldier and save every marine from certain doom then it is considerably tougher

Legendary is easy as long a you use available cover, and use the plasma pistol. Unlimited fire rate, plenty of them in thr game, overcharged shots take down those peky elite shields. Then use AR for close combat.

legendary is pretty easy overall, its just sections like someone else mentioned, like the beginning of two betrayals or some parts of keyes and truth and reconciliation these levels are the most difficult but the others are just a lotta fun:D

The only levels I haven't beaten on lengendary are T&R(Keyes dies in one -blam!- shot), The Libary(I have yet to try) and The Maw because my car turns over at the jump part and I die. I have beaten the Pillar of Autamn level so many times that I have a stragy for each part. I kill the first grunts with headshots. At the cafteria kill the first grunt(not the two elites) so he doesn't throw a grenade and the door behind it opens and marines come through. From their focus on the grunts because they throw grenades and that tends to kill my marine buddies. Without the grunts the 3-5 blue elites will have no chance against you and your soldier friends.
From their it is a running, shooting, grenade throwing and ducking roit all the way to the life boat.

Well, Legendary is kind of easy for me, but it depends on the level. On Trunth and reconsilliation, i cant get past the first part where you have to covertly get past the covenant. I usually get spotted by one of the elites and my marines run in and die. Other levels i just fly through, like PoA, Halo, Silent cartagrapher, AoC, Keyes, and the Maw. I always wind up getting stuck at one point in the other levels, but if i get past that one point, ill usually to fine. I also have a bad reputation for getting myself stuck after a checkpoint with one health left and a big battle ahead of me. My friend always says that legendary is too easy, and hes practically memorized the enemy position/location for each target on each level, so he always winds up flanking them and winning.

The hardest for me, (besides the Library right now with only melees) was Truth and Reconciliation, I was doing the Melee and Pistol only, but that level doesn't start you with the pistol. I had to sneak down to the first turret to melee the grunt off of it, and then dodge fire to the other turret, (although he killed one of the elites for me) and melee HIM off, I did very poorly until one of the marines died, and I finally got my pistol.

A few levels are like that, but none of the rest rely so heavily on awkward canyons.

Not necessarily solid, but its a challenging. I find some levels harder than others, but I have completed the game once or twice by myself.
