Subject: Who actually managed to finish Halo 2 on Legendary?

''We ride together, we die together, bro's and bad boys for life''

I remember that me and my friend got stuck on the Tartarus boss fight. I'm not joking when I say that we've probably spent a total of 9 or more hours trying to kill him but despite all the tries and times we've been at eachothers houses we never managed to atually kill him. This was 3 years ago, and me and my friend are thinking about trying again soon.

So what did you struggle with when you tried/managed to finish Halo 2 on Legendary?

Are you serious?
That level was so easy.

Halo 2 for Life!

I don't struggle, instead I run and when I do need to fight I use plasma pistol BR combo alot, and alot of hit and run to cover until they are all dead. I learned very quickly taking them all on at once was not a good idea.

I did that when I first fought against him on legendary. Once you beat legendary once it becomes a lot easier to do it the 2nd, 3rd, etc, time around. I gotta say Halo 2's campaign was the hardest to beat for me, then Halo CE, after that the rest of the halo games were too easy to beat.

Half of the time I'm dead serious.
The other half not so much.

All of the flood levels suck on Legendary...the best thing to do is just run around and shoot like crazy.

  • 03.04.2011 9:23 PM PDT

I like to build buildings.

It took me 6 weeks to comeplete the Halo 2 campaign on Legendary. I think I died about 800 times.

  • 03.04.2011 9:56 PM PDT

It took me quite a while to beat it on Lengendary, and I might say it was pretty frustrating as well.

Cairo was hard for me.

Um.....Red name tag??

It took me 1 month and 2 weeks to beat it. I was glad I was done.

Good players work together...and no matter how good you are, you're not physic. - blade6321

There for a few spots here and there but it more or less came down to Jackal snipers and Drown swarms. Many a games did I ragequit from the damn snipers...

I remember Halo 2 not beeing to difficult on Legendary, but tougher than Halo:CE. I brought in a banshee to kill the Ape if i remember correctly.

Arrogant hyperbolic exclamations of woe? Seems like a normal day for Halo/Bungie.net.

Halo 2 on Legendary would've been nowhere near as hard without the Jackal Snipers.

That being said, yes, I finished the H2 campaign on Legendary.
Also, I find Reach SLASO wayy harder than anything the other campaigns can offer.

I went outside today. The graphics were AMAZING. The gameplay WASN"T.

Maybe I should cry for help
Maybe I should kill myself
Blame it on my ADD baby

Halo 2 was by far the hardest solo Legendary I have played out of all the Halo games. Although, it was the most fun imo.

I do not fear death, in view of the fact that I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it. ~ Mark Twain

I got half way before I went back to the CE campaign!

But, I was very proud I could get past that many levels on Legendary, that stuff was so hard. On my first try, I couldn't get past level 1, so I went and did Halo 3 on like half of Mythic and then Halo CE legendary campaign before going back to Halo 2 to find I could only do half of it!

That was the best strategy when facing the flood on legendary, run around and shoot like crazy. Cairo taught you the most important lesson you ever needed to know about legendary, the plasma pistol is your best friend on legendary. Always carry one with you at all times.

We tried that tactic, and we didn't actually die but the fight went on for so long that we got too tired so we quit.

I finished halo 2 on legendary but it took forever. I especially remember dieing alot on outskirts (the second level) because there were so many hidden jackal snipers all over that level. Sometimes you had to die by them to figure out where they actually were so you could kill them the next time you tried.

Well said the hangars were hell on it...long live the plasma and battle rifle combo..hardest of the series by far

No point in playing SLASO in Reach, except maybe for credit hunters.
But some of the gold skulls provide a stupid increase in difficulty. Like having to melee enemies and enemies with 500x strenght.

Lol, nobody has ever beaten H2 SLASO (that they can verify) so no, Reach SLASO is not as hard as H2 SLASO.

Games I like:,
Half-Minute Hero
MBU
Portal
Halo 3 is the best Halo ever
Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.

No. I made it up to halfway in Cairo Station, then ran out of ammo as the elites hid behind cover before I could snag them with a BR. My tactic to go through most of the game (It got me halfway through Cairo) ALWAYS KEEP GRENADES ON YOU! Plasma grenades are God's magic balls.

Hey, when I first played halo 2 ON EASY, I was too scared of the elits to run at him. And Quarintine zone was IMPOSSIBLE first time around. Now both these levels are easy on heroic

This is the average H2 Fanboy.

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

I used blu trainer AND casca to beat it with all skulls on.
