Some Legendary Tips (these apply to every Halo game):
1. Plasma Pistol Overcharge: Enough people have already mentioned this
2. Instant kills: Some things are instant kills on any difficulty: headshots to unshielded infantry, plasma sticks, needle explosions, etc. Use these methods of killing whenever you can. There are a few enemies, mostly high ranking elites, who need to be double killed (i.e. two plasma sticks.)
3. Abuse the vehicles: You generally deal out a more damage at longer range while being much harder to kill in a vehicle. Stay in vehicles every chance you get and use them to combat infantry. An example of this would be hosing down buildings with Falcon fire before you enter on New Alexandria.
4. Checkpoints are your friends: if you get a checkpoint right before a tough fight, it's your chance to rush out there and do a supercool combat move (usually an assassination, grenade stick or something where you expend rare ammo for a power weapon) to end the fight quickly. If you miss your attack, just reload the last checkpoint and try again. If you haven't seen a checkpoint in a while, play conservatively. Don't risk dying or wasting precious ammo.
5. You don't have to kill everyone: Many difficult fights can be avoided by driving or sprinting through them. If you are playing co-op, you can send your buddy ahead while you wait to trigger the events that cause more enemies to appear. If you die, you'll respawn on the other side of the fight and can keep going. This works really well when disabling the jammers in New Alexandria.
