what do u think? I thought about the cafeteria in the maw and the big covenant-flood battle at the end of two betrayals wiht two wraiths.. i considered them on heroic(legendary is fun but plasma pistol? =/ most boring weapon in the game). The place in two betrayals where the flood come come rushing through the door after u depleted ur shields in the beam is pretty hard to. I vote for the cafeteria, once u deplete one of the elite-shields he hides and 3-4 comes to cover fire for him, had to restart like 4-5 times today, lol

i consider the entire level of the 'library' to be challenging on legendary, because of the sheer mass of them, especially explosive flood types creeping up behind you.
The best fights though are on two betrayels and the Maw, where when you get taken down skillfully by an enemy, u can smile knowing that it it took skill, nothing beats that.

I think the hardest part in campain is in Two Betrayals on legenary just before you finish the level. You have to get past about 5 flood who have rocket launchers. Then you need to take out two Wraith tanks that are shooting plasma all over the place. Next you need to knock over a shade turret. You should probobly kill the gold elite pretty early too.(I hit him with three rockets and he didn't die!!) At about this time you head back to your ghost to go pick up more ammo, when suddenly you get shot at by 3 invisible elites and you have nothing but an empty rocket launcher and sniper rifle. When you manage to kill them and come back with more ammo, you find that two hunters came out from behind the rocks and a whole lot of other various species came out of the side door. When you finally manage to finish them off (About 40 min. later) you can go finish the level. The next time I tried this I reallized that if you get extremely lucky you can just make a run for the banshee and save a lot of time. (It's more fun to go through it though)

well,none of them are really a "challenge" for me. but i think on T&R when you up the grav lift...all the Gold elites. its SO fun. but i'v beaten it without dying once...

I'm up to the level "Keyes" in Heroic. If one judges hardness by how many times one dies trying to succeed; then I'd have to say that the hardest, so far, for me is the battle in the grav lift room on the T&R. Those invisible elites are just plain tough. Tough AND fast: Just one can wipe out all your marines in 4 seconds. Using the sniper rifle as a cannon helped; but it was still very hard. Not looking forward to doing this again on Legendary.
