I'm currently working my way through Halo 2 on Legendary, I'm still stuck on Cairo Station! Does anyone have any thoughts on what the toughest points in the game are? I mean, if I know a particular battle is one of the toughest, I'm more patient getting stuck on it for a while.

From playing through on Heroic, I'd say:
The two fights in the shuttle bays on Cairo Station
The bay where the Phantom drops off reinforcements on The Arbiter
The first battle on Delta Halo
The gondola on Quarantine Zone
The beginning of Gravemind

Mostly, battles where you're fighting the Covenant and are forced to stick around until every last enemy is dead. But what do you guys think? Other than that, I immediately grenade jump to the rooftops and then drive through the rest of Outskirts, and Metropolis too. Everywhere else, I run/drive past every battle I can.

Anyway, what do you think? Thank you.

Well, it's a choice as to whether to run past or fight so I'll name what I think are the toughest if you fight all battles.

Not many will say any fight is tougher than the second hanger on CS. It's a ballbuster.
Sniper Alley on OS can be rough.
The hanger on Arbiter is not so bad, provided you keep yourself armed with 2 Needlers.
Going down the elevator on Oracle.
Beginning of Gravemind.
Getting past the Wraith, Snipers and Brutes on Uprising (just before the Ghost skull).
The cave on GJ (Zen Garden) takes time and patience.

Zen Garden, wow. I just found a video, I never knew that existed!

Anyway, thanks so much for your reply. The second hangar on Cairo Station is the most difficult? Good, that's the one I'm stuck on. Now it'll feel even better when I finally get past it.

I got past it once, but it didn't give me a checkpoint. So, yeah, I died after that.

So, thank you!

Zen Garden = great place. The easy way to get up there is with a Banshee. Shoot the wings off w/ a PR and you can cram it through the doors.

*Necro? What? This is fourth page!*

-Hangars of CS, obviously
-The end of CS can be bad if you don't have plasma pistols.
-Refumee.
-Some drone checkpoints in OTRTTBNBJ can be horrible.
-The great underwater temple of Regret.
-Regret himself.
-The "Proceed to the objective, well hold down as long as we can!" room.
-The first wave of the grand gondola.
-Council Chamber.
-Sanctified has the potential to turn into a total -blam!- if you don't know what you are doing.
