Thats sometimes an easy area to get by, try to get another weapon, im sure there are plenty around, as for the hunters try to avoid them till everyone on the first bridge is dead then focus on the hunters. Btw how good are you at Halo?

Try using a plasma pistol and regular pistol. That's how I first beat AotCR on legendary.

Yeah, sure you are. Question: are there any enemies on the bridge? If not, run. Like. Hell.

If so, wow, you're screwed. Try to go back through the door you came in and get better guns.

If there are enemies still on the bridge, wipe them out with the Plasma Rifle. After they're all dead, pick up a plasma pistol and go trigger happy on one of the Hunters. Try and strap him with a Plasma Grenade or two. When he goes down, start shooting at the second Hunter with your Rocket Launcher. Follow up with Plasma Pistol fire/grenades.

this works, just gom all the way back to the other bridge, and confrontate the hunters in close combat, u know melee the in the back :D

if the hunters are dead, the other bridge should be no problem.

Why in -blam!- hell would you not have a pistol???? Or a sniper. But anyway, fire the one rocket at something worth wasting a rocket on, and then trade it in for another good weapon. I suggest a plasma pistol, and a needler if you can't find any human weapons at all. The plasma rifle is obselete, providing you can twitch your finger very fast.

Do you know you can jump between bridges? All you have to do is this:
* Go the the edges of the bridge (where the doors are)
* Look near the glass inbetween the bridges, there should be a small obstacle near it (like a pillar
* Jump onto the lip of the bridge, then onto the pillar
* Then jump onto the rim of the glass and slowly walk to where the gap gets narrower
* Then jump across

I'd also think about going back and looking for some other useful weapons in the previous rooms.

Whoa, SPARTAN_3920, Good stuff!! No, I did not know you could cross bridges. Can you go the other way, too, and avoid some encounters? I agree that better weaps are needed.

Sniper109, I am almost to AotCR on Heroic; so I am not your Legendary expert. However, I can tell you two things with confidence:

1.) It is possible to take out Hunters with a Plasma Pistol (I've done it on Normal); but it takes a lot of patience, a lot of plasma, and a lot of dodging. On Legendary you might have to go through several PPs to take down a Hunter (if you choose that method).

2.) I wouldn't even touch an M6 (human pistol) for most of my walk through Normal (plasma pistol was my favorite); but that was just me being stupid. The M6, with its scan-to-hit, 2x zoom and powerful bullets, is becoming more and more vital to me as the difficulty increases. I have heard some say that it is MANDATORY equipment for beating Legendary. I suggest you go find one; even if you have to restart the level.

So, what I would do:

1.) Retrace my route and get an M6 (and/or sniper rifle), if possible.
2.) If successful at 1., take out anything close on my own bridge, then snipe the Hunters with M6 or S2. Then continue working across my bridge.
3a.) If not successful at 1., restart level and make sure I had the pistol/rifle at the bridge OR...
3b.) If feeling extremely masochistic, try with what I've got. The problem is that I assume there is at least 3 dropship loads of grunts, jackals and elites on my own bridge. The PP is good for grunts and jackals; but, realistically, only the rocket and grenades will take down the tough and wily elites. I would probably rocket a hunter (with the other close by, if possible, to get in some collateral damage) then finish the targeted hunter off with the PP (if the rocket did not hit a sweet spot). That leaves only one hunter on the other bridge, which is some relief. On my own bridge, I would PP jackals and grunts, and save the grenades for elites, hoping to parlay each grenade into more grenades from fallen elites. I would need to get another PP quickly, and hope to also get a needler for use against the elites at close range. If I did all this very well and came into more grenades then I needed, I'd start lobbing them at the solitary, and hopefully wounded, hunter. Sounds like a tough row to hoe....

If you're going to try to take out the hunters, don't even bother using ammo unless you have a human pistol. To plasma pistol it to death would be just as slow as meleeing it to death, or maybe even slower. I don't know how many melee's it takes to kill one on Legendary, but it's bound to be around ten. Probably lower. That wouldn't be too difficult, so do that.

if you stay on the left side of the obstacles on the bridge you are less likely to be hit by the hunters
