Oh boy, looks like you are in the same jam that I was in. OK, heres what you do, let the marines take out the grunts and jackals while you take out the gold elites. Switch out the SR for an AR as soon as you can. When a gold elite comes out, knock out it's shields with and overcharged plasma pistol bolt and finish it off with the AR or the SR. When a door opens, lob a 'nade into it to kill off some of the Covenant (frag works best) and let the marines do the rest.

Two big tips:
Keep the marines alive and they will keep you alive and always target the elites first.

Heres some more info:

Use the availible cover such as trees, rocks buildings etc. Always know where your enemies are and keep an eye on your motion-tracker. I don't know how many times it saved my ass. Avoid combat when possible and if you need to engage in combat, against for instance an elite, knock out his shields and then run in and whack him two times. Saves ammo and gets the job done.

I know from experience that elites are the most annoying Covenant in legendary...besiedes the jackals. But, because of the face that elites don't start shooting untill they are within weapons range, gives you time to knock out their shields with a plasma pistol or whatever. By the time he starts to shoot, the elite will be strafing from side to side and will generally be a big pain in the ass. Soooo...my suggestion to you is to take out the elite before he starts to shoot. When you take out the elite, the grunts and jackals will scatter making them easy prey. One more thing, Aim for the highest ranking elite there is first such as the red elite over the blue one.

I love this level on legendary alright when you first start go behind those weird lookin crate thingy's and pick up the active camo now the first batch should be comin run over kill elite with sniper shot upclose in head throw grenade at floor pick off grunts jackels watch out for jackels their quick.Now the next phase shouldve already kicked in so keep killin all these aliens and make sure marines are alive(y its important to kill elites/jackels first) like buddy said marines will help not much but they will enough help to maybe draw fire and stuff like that kill some loose ends but everything depends on you.now go threw slidin door lol whatever up around till a room now theirs 2 levels top and bottom clear the top first quickly rush in throw grenade rush out repear maybe till done jump down kill all other guyz while doin so open door so marines can enter room.

K im tired just post anything new about the level and ill help have you beaten it already?

If so post it please or post your problems and ill try and help you and guide you whatever

thispart of the level is where my close range sniping really shines. Your motion tracker will show contacts before the doors open, remmeber BEFORE. Use this to your advantage. Stay in the middle for the sword elite at the begining and snipe them, no zoom. Then look at the motion traker. Every time you see contacts moving to a door go there. Stand back form the door and a little to the side. Toss a grenade when the door flashes. After it blows mop up the survivors, or toss anoter one in. Then at the end, whenthe hunters come, charge them,do the swipe dogee manuver to get behind them then pop it in the back to kill it.
And you better lose the PP feer somthing else like the PR, AR on neddler( very effective here)

Whenever I play this, I immediately drop the SR for an AR, by killing a Marine. Poor guys. Elites are cake after that.
