you might be playing co op it takes a while with that because you have a friend that really sucks and your really good.
I beat legendary before I beat it on anything else. the only hard part I had was zanzibar area with all the snipers.

Hey, I do say some parts a extremely hard, but if you are good on Match making you should have no trouble with legendary. The second and third time around it gets really easy. Just that those damn snipers are one heck of a hasle.

It is nice though to learn something else from reading it that you dont already know from play it about 10 to 30 times ; )

Didact's Reprisal -
Now is the time of our unworlding
One final effort is all that remains
And I am not afraid
We shall fulfill our promise
We fight for the grace of the Mantle
And this time none of you will be left behind

One thing I learned about legendary:
It seems the snipers have a harder time getting head shots if you stay still.

the PPBR is the best way to beat hanger#2
it took me for ever to beat it, ammo was a big problem on that part.

The videos aren't that bad. But seriously, this guy definitely staged the entire thing; he probably spent hours just figuring out really neat moves, then attempting to pull them off on-screen. He probably had to redo most of those videos a couple of times, because if you look closely at them he almost dies in every one. No wonder he sucks at multiplayer, cause most of the time you never know what will happen. In campaign all of the enemies are preset, so if you knew your way around it would be easy. Also, unlike multiplayer, when you melee an elite in campaign they usually pause for 1-2 seconds, giving you enough time to finish 'em off. In multiplayer if you face off with a magnum against a plasma rifle, chances are you'll die.

My point is, these techniques will not work in multiplayer, since you're actually facing human players, who are a lot smarter than NCPs.

Nice work with the videos, though. And nice work with the stickies; I'd hate to face him in Midship -- OUCH!

Good God, he didn't stage anything. He actually can do almost all the stuff on those vids on command, I've watched him make some of the stuff when we were at his house during Christmas.

Secondly, who said this was a multiplayer guide? Way to pull a democrat move and criticize for something completely irrelevant.

In the last level you can use a banshee against Tartarus. you have to shoot off the wings then wiggle your way through the room that got blown up by the scarab then get out to open the door to the next room. Get back in quickly and fly into the next room before the door closes. I suggest flying right through the next door when the brutes come out so you banshee won't get blown up. When you go through that door the game will go into a movie. At the end of the movie you will start out of you banshee facing Tartarus and some brutes. Just turn around and turn right down the hallway behind you. Your banshee will be sitting there. Get back in and fly the banshee into the room with Tartarus. He won't attak you while you are in the banshee. Just don't fly too much lower than the middle platform, you will die. Unfortunatly I found this banshee trick out on easy after I beat legendary.
I can't help anyone with the first level, that was the hardest part of Legendary for me.
On outskirts you can jump onto the light above the door in the room after you crash the Pelican. You have to jump towards the closest roof off the light. When you jump duck while you are in the air to get on the platform. Then go to the the next roof and grenade jump onto it. Also duck while you are in the air. Then follow the roofs around to the as far as you can. When you get to the road jump on to it and go acrossto the other side. If you went the right way there should be an opening that goes right to hotel zanzibar.

I beat legendary last night. And the next morning I find this guide. LMAO. To bad I did not find it earlier. Might have come in handy. For Cairo, I just goaded the elites after me, and then as they came running towards me out of cover, I hammered them with duels and then a headshot with battle rifle.. Cairo took me 26 tries, as in the entire level. And tarturus took me three, I just kept jumping back to Johnson. And then back over. All together, Legendary took me 5 days, and two of them were trying to defeat the level metropolis. God, I hate Jackal snipers. But yaaaaay, I did it, and I also unlocked the Foundation multiplayer map. I dont have live yet so that is why i did not download it.

I for one find legendary very easy. After playing with people on live and getting better, legendary doesn't seem hard.

I found all of legendary to be fairly easy but my biggest complaint was ..... can anyone tell me where the rest of the game went? no extra ending for legendary? "I'm going to finish what i started" (MC) He didnt finish anything your still the ship at the end and cortana is talking to the flood .... I've read theres no current plans for Halo 3 but whats the deal with maybe a new downloadable last level cause THAT ENDING WAS WEAK

Halo 2 on legendary is a joke. I beat it in a day but it should not take more than 2 rockets to take out a wraith.

Mike Miller deserves way more credit than he's getting for this. has anyone watched those vids? it's like watching a flawless game. I can only imagine how much time it took him to get all those vids....how many gigs of video got deleted cause some damn elite boosted into him w/a ghost and sent him into a death barrier.

and his stickies!! holy crap w/teh stickies!!! this guys insane....I hope and pray I never play him in midships.

mad props mike miller, mad props.


Ditto.

I swore to not post any longer, however, when I run across something like this, my will to speak is just too strong. I have accomplished Legendary in H2 and now I find a brilliantly written walk-through. Mike's writing is just worth reading, even if you have already become Legendary. As many times I have played this game, going back and reading about everything I experienced from an obviously awesome player (who just happens to write superbly and slay me with wit) just validates why I love this game so much. I also find that I cannot put myself at the expertise and ease with which Mike approaches each challenge, but had the very same reactions, with probably more expletives, to each. Again, it's worth reading, even for no reason but to relate to the experience or just appreciate the talent of a good writer.

Thanks to Mike. You must be one of those guys who just loves his job...

legendary was definetely harder on halo2 then halo1 but it still wasnt as hard as it should be. and it should give you something for beating it i mean it doesnt give you a different ending or nothing, well exept foundation wich SUCKS! and i have live so i didnt even notice! but definetely the hardest part on legendary is fighting the exile or whatever his name was i forget you know the guy who sends out 2 decoys and runs like a b1tch! the final boss baratus or whatever was easy especially if fyou bring the banshee with you. also the snipers are easy just keep moving or if you have a sniper you can get them way before they get a single shot off! so if anyone wants to battle on live my gamertag is DASH1ZN1T and i will totally own you! although i havent played halo much after the resetting of ranks. and i WAS 21 which you cant get much higher without cheating and having a good connection and standby of your own definetly helps with cheaters especially since if they use there standby you can lag them out with yours wich is always funny! lol
