Subject: Feel the fire on that bulkhead - My Legendary Journey

Major C.B.

I just tried my first Legendary run of this game, having just cherished a similar first run of Halo: Combat Evolved. I can say only this: I can't do this. Right when Cairo Station started, Elites were taking me out with no problems at all. A second in someone's line of fire, and I was dropped. So my question is how?

This thread will be similar to the one in the CE forum. I'll update my Legendary progress each time I come, and all I'm doing here essentially is asking for much-needed tips.

50 in H2/H3? Great, but you still fail at this.

Here's a tip on making legendary easier: get a friend, and another controller, then beat it faster. Legendary on h2 is cheap, but making a friend play it is more fun.

My mission is to do both games solo. I won't feel accomplished until I do.

Supreme Dictator, Industrial Polluter, Megalomaniac, Corrupt Politician, Underhanded Reprobate, Rainforest Ravager, Puppy Kicker, Oil Spill Coordinator, Holiday Hater, and an Insurance Salesman.

Just don't give up hope! If it helps inspire you at all, I started at the very bottom, playing through Halo 1 and 2 on Easy (I used to be REALLY bad at FPS) before eventually working my way up to Legendary , so it can be done no matter what skill level you are.

This isn't like Halo 1 where more than 10% of the weapons are actually useful on legendary.


Hit the elite with a PP overcharge (very easy, the homing is ridiculous) and then sweep your BR reticle across the elite's head while firing. Sometimes they'll kill you anyway because of the insane damage, but it usually works. It's unfortunately very unsatisfying, but it's almost all you can do unless you have power weapons (or are in a convenient place to wittle down at a single elite, which pops up occasionally, at which point you can't fail with anything).

Jacob just shut up, I love cario station on legendary, just go for the plasma pistol and a br, and always have cover ^^ Good luck man.

Main key to the game (with regards to CE) is that your shields drop so much faster. In CE, you took some hits, gained cover, and got back into it. In 2, you've got to be moving to cover when the hits start. Seemed impossible to me at first as well. But after some adjustment, will be do-able.

Yeah, I'm with NEF, you'll get used to it so just grind away. Imo, Cairo is the hardest, I beat all other levels first and then when I went back to Cairo it was easier. Use the PP+anything else combo and haul weapons along with you for a little stockpile wherever you go.

And don't use Sputnik.

I beat Cairo with little problem, only got frustrated with the Pelican bay that 3124392-q34820374 Elites pour into, because I only had two half-charged Plasma Pistols and had to make the best of that.

Then I got to Outskirts. I had forgotten why I never succeeded in beating Legendary in this game when I previously tried. I now remember.

I must have died at least 20 times by now in Sniper Alley. This is very "fun."

It's fun to read about your Legendary adventures, keep us informed about each level if you please. Every level has great and horrible memories for me. Horrible when I started each level and great when I finally survived.

I'll definitely update as I go. Thanks for reading (and for the tips!).

I've tried Sniper Alley a few more times and died a few more times, so I'm going to switch to Reach for the night; still have a few Daily Challenges to nail. I'll retry this tomorrow with a more fresh mindset (I'm a little frustrated with it, so I keep trying to charge in headlong, just getting more irritated when that fails for the umpteenth time -- I obviously need a break).

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

Remember...switching from a great thing to a bad thing is not good for you.

You can use the rooftops though sniper alley. That way you'd be on top of every thing.

Stow it, Marines. Remember, you're leathernecks.

Wait, wat?

Anyways, I finished Outskirts. Sniper Alley was the only trouble part. I probably won't play today or tomorrow, because of Christmas Eve and Christmas, but I'll jump back on this horse soon enough.

I was there for the glory days of Combat Evolved. I was there when Halo 2 was hyped up and met the hype. I was there for the first days and last days of Halo 2 on Xbox Live. I was there for the Halo 3 days, the great Lag Age of 2008-2010. I was there to laugh and not buy ODST, I was there to vomit when Reach implemented reticle bloom. I am a Halo veteran, and a Halo legend.

LOL Jacob, why are you so mad? The only possible scenario that would lead to such random hatred for a game that I can imagine... was your mother killed by an overturned gamestop shelf and smothered to death by copies of Halo 2?

Or do you just like trolling kids? You would get more responses out of Laglo 3 or Reach kids.

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.

Abuse the plasma pistol, that's the only way to get through legendary on halo 2.

Everytime someone buys a copy of Halo 2 Vista, a puppy dies.

So, Halo 2 is so God like, that you felt the need to bash Halo 3 and Reach?

And on top of that, what are the chances of a gamestop shelf falling on a person? none.

If you are so obsessed with such a game, why not buy Halo 2 Vista...o wait, it's a RUINED FOREVER version of Halo 2 Xbox. D:

Tons of people get killed by toppling shelves and crates of stuff. Gravity exists, stuff falls and crushes people. Halo 2 had millions of copies so is it really that unlikely that such an event could happen? I think his mother was clearly killed by Halo 2, explaining his utter hatred for the game.

1. Maybe it's because halo 2 is overrated.
2. Gamestop racks are bolted to the wall, dumbass.
3. My mom isn't dead. Nor was she killed by h2. STFU about my parents, you can go f5ck yourself.

Lol, I wish I could do that.

JGR - you're being played with at this point. I hope you're not getting too hung-up on how people express themselves about a game. It seems deeper than a meaningless mother remark.
