I beat Halo 2 probally about 5 times, but I am fretting to do it on legendary. Those snipers are going to give me hell.

Anyone else never started Halo 2 legendary/never beat it yet?
What's the highest difficulty you beat it on so far?

Tell us all about how Cairo goes, that one's a whopper.

I liked playing Cairo station on legendary. It became much simpler with the plasma pistol BR combo. Uprising was also tons of fun. One spot that might be a real pain in the ass would be the end of Regret. There's no easy way out on that one.

Cairo was the most difficult for me so far. I hated the part when the bording ships dock and they just keep pouring out. After that its not so bad.

I just beat regret last night so im just starting Quarintine.
As for the snipers, well, delta halo is a sniper fest party.

Cairo is bugging me so far =]. I'm sure in for a challenge.


Also to that guy who asked I beat it on Normal for my highest difficulty. =[ I was only like 12 at the time.

Yowza. I would probably recommend a Heroic run first, but if your feeling daring go ahead with the Legendary.

Now, in the quantum moment before the closure, when all become one. One moment left. One point of space and time.

I know who you are.

You are Destiny.

Oh no. I never even attempted Halo 2 on Legendary.

May the force be with you, always.

Get the scarab gun :)

halo 2 still the best game in the series. long live halo 2.

Dam, I miss the old days playing halo 2 with my old brothers in arms. Thank you my old friends for giving me this account, I shall continue our legacy.

Remember the plasma pistol is your best friend on legedary, along with the battle rifle. Avoid close range combat with elite ultras, they will wreck you with their swords and it takes a while to kill them without a plasma pistol.

Don't forget those power weapons too, especially if you can get a sword...though use it carefully.

And needlers are good to take down Elites and Brutes

Fada beo Halo 2!

Good luck, NO turning back now soldier!

Reach is total garbage. I'm proud it failed and died. Hope this message gets to 343 and they make a proper game.

Quit competitive Halo, I have acquired something called "having a life". Play it time to time as of now. Some people should also try this thing called "having a life".

It took me 3 hours to beat the last level of Halo 2 and that was 4 years ago! Good luck with all the other levels!

Halo 2 for Life!

Run in fear away from major battle zones and only fight when you have to.

Wait 4 Halo 4.

Didn't the update remove Sword Flying though?

I got Halo 2 on the PC recently and went through Legendary in 2 days. It was quite a -blam!-. One thing I would recommend is getting the Envy skull on Delta Halo and then using the perma-invis glitch in the next level, Regret. That way, you won't have any trouble with that level. I only used the perma-invis for that level then I kept going. Halo 2 was the most unbalanced legendary difficulty out of all the Halos I've played, but it was still fun somehow. I remember dieing like 25 times at the start of Gravemind because you spawn with 2 brutes shooting the -blam!- out of you.

It is doable though. Check my gamercard to see my legendary achievement! So proud of it.

I tried twice to rid myself of the update for the 360. I deleted everything that was H2 from the HDD once and then wiped the HDD memory clean of all games a second time and I still cannot swordfly. I did the same with my original box and I can SF fine with it.

It's like the update gets embedded in the HDD BIOS or something. A 360 that has never had an H2 update will SF just fine.

RIP Halo 2

I've beaten it many times. Mainly before I do it, I go get envy and sputnik. And sometimes Grunt Bday Party. Those all help a fair amount and they're not that hard to get.

But yeah, BR and PP are your friends.

Hardest Legendary of any Halo by far.

  • 12.14.2010 1:35 PM PDT

Major C.B.

I'm gonna do it too. I have to beat CE on Legendary first, but I'm about four levels into that, and expect to finish it by the end of the week. Then, onto Halo 2. Then another Halo 3/ODST Mythic run. Then to complete my Reach Mythic run.

  • 12.14.2010 3:10 PM PDT

God, I have not played H2 on legendary sence it released. Best of luck sir.

R.I.P. Halo 2
11/9/04 - 4/15/10

- B( )B

I'm actually just starting Legendary again as well. I tried it a very,very long time ago, but gave up.

I actually didn't have too much trouble with Cairo station. The BR and Plasma Pistol are definitely handy. I think it took me about an hour to do it.

  • 12.14.2010 4:58 PM PDT

Halo 2 legendary almost made me cry with sheer frustration when I was so close to killing Regret--after what felt like hours punching him in the face; but a damn honor guard killed me with a sword. They never stop spawning!

That was the hardest part for me by far. But I got passed it.

Good times indeed.
