The biggest difference between beating CE on legendary and beating H2 on legendary is patience and memorization.
The 2 main differences in the games are the jackal snipers and the fact that the flood are harder to deal with.
Defeating the jackal snipers is a matter of dying often enough to figure out where they are and being able to take cover in spots that allow you to kill them before they kill you. It is funny how one tag from them kills you, but you can tag even a grunt 3 times before he falls (headshots excluded).
The flood are tougher for several reasons:
1) They no longer follow you all over hells half acres, they now move much more randomly making them less easily killed in groups with grenades.
2) Their melee is wicked, more powerful than in CE, and seems to happen more often in rapid succession.
3) The infection forms now can re-infect killed but not dusted forms.
4) The shotty is almost useless. The preferred flood killer is the sword for close in work and the BR for mid to long range. One nice thing is you can now kill flood with headshots (very handy with GBP skull on!).
It took alot of dying for me to complete legendary the first time. Even now I still die alot, which is just part of the H2 experience. Some of the skulls make it easier, most of them just make it harder. If you are playing with skulls on, try it without and see what happens. If you have a part you are just not getting through and need help, post a topic and you will get alot of help on the forum!
Good luck!
