When the dust settles, you will learn what true terror is.

Here is some interesting stuff I have found that might save yourself at some point. Some might make me sound like a noob, so bear with me.
1. Dealing with hunters. In my attempt to defeat campaign alone on legendary I found some things out about hunters. I found that one of the best weapons for them is the needle rifle. If you save all your ammo for a hunter team its worth it. Just fire as fast as you can into its orangeness, even if you think you miss, the supercombine is well worth it. Getting one hunter left is all you need. get close and confy and side step it shooting until you reveal the soft backside. your spartan buddies will help too. Save your grenades too, they aren't so helpful anymore on these guys.
2.AA guns. You know those big old things you think you have to kill inside? Well you don't! If you have a tank or warthog, just shoot at the gun until it explodes, it takes a while, but its well worth it.
3.nightfall hologram. Having camo is great in this mission to snipe in the distance, but hologram is better. The enemy loves to wait for you to make the move, or will come at you when you don't want them too. Its great to break up the monotony and gives you the breaks you need.
If I can think of anything else I will post it.
Thanks for the advice! I've got some alternate ideas for you to try out though...
For hunters, there's only a couple times you ever really need to fight them, and you'll be in a vehicle with a powerful weapon and some distance between you at that point (plus having plasma launchers available to you for Tip of the Spear). All the other hunters in the game can be either replaced with dancing grunts or skipped altogether.
The AA guns we're aware of. Rocket hogs and scorpions make short work of them. :)
In Nightfall, Sprint > all other Armor Abilities, and allows you to beat the mission in like 5 minutes. Check my mythic video in my fileshare for an example.
Keep up the good work in finding tricks, tips, and tactics. I'm sure there's several things we haven't thought of or tried yet that could make things WAY easier!
