Subject: I just beat Halo: CE on legendary...

I escaped into the waves. The waves...
I went Underground!

I've beaten it two times on Legendary, once on Co-Op, once alone. Co-Op was way better than solo:

"DON'T RUN AT THE FLOOD, HE'LL ROCKET YOU! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

I still haven't beat Truth and AReconciliation on Legendary. The fight at the top of the Grav Lift is insane.

The fight to keep Keyes alive was a bigger problem to me.

Congratulations OP, this shows that you have beaten a game that takes skill and tactics to get through, not just patience and luck.


Thank you very much :D

This guys' math fails, read this locked thread:
Enjoy this Epic math fail.

I played Halo CE when I was 6 and beat it on normal.

I am now 15, bought the game I loved again, and am now on the Silent Cartographer on Legendary, and it seems very easy, just giving me overshields around the start to kill hunters, lol.

But yeah, near the end of that level, and it's really fun.

Yeah, I always loved The Silent Cartographer. Not only did the beach environment seem incredibly unique in comparison to a number of other campaign environments (hey, don't get angry, the pinkish-purple corridors of a Covenant ship can get a bit stale), but it was also a fairly light level in terms of pure carnage, and had great vehicle accesibility. Death Island remains one of my favorite Halo PC maps because of this level.

I could barely finish it on Heroic...


I'm not gonna lie to you guys, I'm a serious Halo series fan, from an active forums member, to the book series reader, to the game worshipper. But it took me forrrrreevvvvverrr to beat the second level (Halo) on Legendary when you have to hold out camp on top of that first Forerunner structure as the Spirit dropships keep coming in. I ran out of ammo every time in my pistol and the Elites were sooo strong. And all your worthless marines would be dead after like two dropships. I just beat that level last year (I started playing the game like 10 years ago when I was 8). I had every other level beat on Legendary though for the longest time. It was only in the past 4 years though that I actually became really good at the Halo games. In my early years it was sort of just a pastime playing the game I wasn't hooked on the Halo world yet. Now Legendary is easy. Every once in a while I have trouble with the last wave of Flood in the Library but that's all. I sold my disc copy too and didn't download the xbox original till like '08 I think.

Hahaha I hated those -blam!-ing random flood combat forms that would have Rockets! Oh the Library...

  • 07.12.2010 10:21 AM PDT

Yeah just beat it on legendary solo aswell might try halo 2 now

  • 07.31.2010 5:48 PM PDT

I haven't beaten it on legendary in a while but a couple of days ago I started all over again.

The notable hard parts for me were:
- Your first encounter with live marines in level 2 and you need to hold off the covenant. (trick is to pick em off from the fields closer to the cave)

- Grav lift into Truth and reconciliation.

- Some parts of the Library

Only at Two Betrayals now.

Defensive mentality got me in a lot of trouble in that firefight. After much trial and error I found agressive attack to work far better.
Dropship #1: Frag the closest grunts and Overcharge/M6D combo the elites. Make certain you kill the last enemy when you are as close to the next dropships touchdown point. You need to be up close to Dropship#2. I manage to hide next to a tall tree right next to the doors that open to let out the two elites(grunts jackals on far side). I throw a pair of stickies. That's almost always enough. I throw a single frag under the departing dropship and then pistol the survivors. I note where needlers are and pick one up on my way to dropship #3. I don't get too close to it but throwing a pair of stickies when the doors begin to open times their blast perfectly when the elites jump out. If they aren't killed outright the needler chews them up. I then pistol the grunts and make certain the last one I kill gets me as close to the touchdown of #4 as possible. I actually climb up the main structure and grab more ammo(health if needed) and wait there for #4's doors to open. I drop two stickies when the doors on the left open and clean up the survivors with needler or PP/M6D combo and then pistol the grunts that stream towards the right of the structure. I actually move down the ramp and time it so I kill the last one as close to #5's touchdown as possible. Here it gets tricky.
I try to frag the grunts on the left side and toss a pair of stickes to injure or kill the elites. Needler doesn't work all that well because of the crown of the hill. From here you need to spam whatever frags you have left for #6.
It's a pretty far throw, and easy for timing to stack up against you here. The upside is they want to charge your marines on the main structure and you can do some damage before they turn on you.
Key strategy are these:
Kill the last enemy from each dropship as close to your next touchdown as possible.
Throw stickies when doors begin to open.
Plasma Pistol Combo works well, but needler rapes in open ground.
The key is mobility. Never stand still. Note where keys weapons drop and don't backtrack or veer from your next touchdown in order to grab them.
If your timing is right you will pack the Pelican with survivors and have a gunner and passenger with optimal health for the next leg of your mission.

I'm stuck at The Library, simply because I'm too terrified of the boredom and Flood armies it will bring. So I've been playing only AotCR on Legendary.

I did that by my damn self, when I was like 10. It's not that difficult.

I play through The Library on Legendary Solo for FUN. You can touch ME now, but please don't... I don't like being touched.

No one wants to touch you, Distillerrr. You're a Library freak. Welcome to our team. So many of us loved the Library since it first dropped. It was like the game within the game - and we were all eager to play. Sick, weird, yet somehow familiar. You're one of us now. LBL is now your tag.
