Just something i found out last night while watching a fellow community member livestreaming himself playing firefight. Now everyone has said that the base can be quite a dangerous place to stick around but until last night i was just kind of brushing it aside. Now the person i was watching is quite good at firefight he seems to be able to hold things down really well ! Normally he just plays on normal but me and some others talked him into playing legendary difficulty just for the fun of it...so he loaded up one of the levels and went to it and was doing fine until the first brute chieftain encounter. Up until then he was doing fine staying in the base and stuff but this brute came in and killed him....and see this is where the danger comes in....because you respawn in the base ! and the chieftain just waited there...and spawn killed him 4 times in a row ! so really..haha don't stay in the base if you don't have to !

wow...that was a really long post haha sorry

Also..i don't know if this has been brought up before but brutes/hunters/grunts with fuel rod cannons are EXTREMELY dangerous ! they're absolutely brutally accurate with those and 1 hit even from splash damage = death ! and they can tag you from way across the map !

Great guide, really detailed.
One other idea, place trip mines in a ring around the weapon room to take a breather when you need to.

side stepping the hammer chieftain for an assasination works hella good. I never wanted to get that close to one of them

Secondary tactics to keep in mind to get the most out of your weapons isn't just a good idea, it can completely change how you use some weapons in Campaign, Firefight, and even Halo 3 multiplayer. This venerable tactic is almost never used, but I swear to god, you put it to good use, you'll learn that even the MA5C and the M7 have their advantages. Short, controlled bursts completely change up the ranges you can use certain weapons. If your reticle is covering the enemy completely, and not splashing over too much, you can shoot, accurately, in short bursts no matter the weapon. Aside from that, Plasma Rifles and Pistols can put rounds down range surprisingly accurately, if you take into account how slow the shots travel. Plasma rounds are slow enough, no matter the weapon, to be easily dodged while charging towards the enemy. ...Now, then, it would be absolutely lovely if someone could direct me to a forum post regarding the Classic Achievement. I swear to god, that mother-blam!- who said, "I bet you're stupid enough to try beating ODST on Legendary only using Melee" should die. Make note, that was abridged quote.

A tip on the Brute Stalker:

While you've got no motion tracker, lightening up the mood with your VISR will reveal their locations. This is, however, easier to achieve on night maps seeing as they have a golden yellow outline (like scenery) as opposed to the standard red ones that normal enemies have, which will be difficult to spot against light (albeit easier than normal).
