The Covenant on Legendary at Mission Start.
A month ago, I thought Mission Start was the hardest part of The Covenant. Then I realized that I could skip all of the battles, even the battle inside the first tower.
This is how I now get past Mission Start without breaking a sweat:
Pick up the default spawned Bubble Shield. Skip the beach battle. Headshot the Heavy Grunt. Get in his Ghost. Boost into the first tower. Don't pick up Active Camo. Go inside the tower and headshot the two initial Grunts and the three Grunts on the upper level. Jump onto the stacked supply cases to the upper level, pick up the power drain, and activate the elevator. Throw the power drain at the Chieftain's bodyguards. Go to the right and pick up a Plasma Pistol. N00b combo the two Brutes and headshot the bodyguards. Assassinate the Chieftain. Pick up his invincibility. After deactivating the first tower, go down and activate invincibility when shield goes down. Stand on the Active Camo and wait for invincibility to expire. Finally, get in the Troop transport Warthog or Mongoose. Drive to the area where you stole the Grunt's Ghost. Pick up the Fuel Rod Gun.
And Rally Point Alpha is the easiest of all starting points.
Rally Point Bravo is easy as well. I headshot the Sergeant and the Rocket Launcher wielding Marine and then I get in the Scorpion to stop the Marines from getting in the Gauss Warthog. If I started at Mission Start, I'll kill the Marines who rode in my Hornet before Rally Point Bravo. Then I get two Arbiters to get in the Gauss Warthog and I drive into the snow area. My primary target is the War Chieftain, since he's the only one who isn't killed off by the game. I run him over and then I drive my Warthog to the right and use Nak8d Eli's ZS strategy to bypass the Wraith. Then I run over the Pilot who offers me his Hornet and then I get in it. I go to the Scarab on the right since I find that I have a better chance of recovering my Hornet. Then I kill the Banshees, then the Scarab's anti-air cap thing, then the War Chieftain and his Brutes. Then I board the Scarab on the left. After that's finished, I return to the Warthog and drive it to the light bridge. I drive all the way to the end and then I get out and get the Arbiter operating the turret out and push him off the edge. Then I get in the driver's seat to get the third Arbiter in and do the same to him and the other Arbiter. Finally, I push the three Arbiters into the Citadel.
The Covenant is the easiest Halo 3 level.
