Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

Jesus Christ was this hard when you didn't know about the Plasma Pistol. The white elites themselves were a death machine with the duel wielding rifles. God forbid that you forgot to stock up for the final battle!

The first room I camped behind the barrier and BR'd the elites and let Johnson rip them up with the turret.

Room two I used the turret and killed the two elites and grunts then went for duel wielding SMGs. I stocked up and headed for the first hanger.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nade like a boss while BRing. This was a harder room, but actually easy.

Hanger two was such a pain. My strategy was to kill the turret grunts, grab a Plasma Pistol and camp up where they were picking off the elites as they came out. I usually grabbed the sword and headed under for the invisies!

The next room where the marine is killed is hard if you don't have any good weapons! You just get mauled! When I kill these baddies, I grab the shotty and go hunting, this open area is fairly easy. However, making it up the stairs to Johnson is such a pain! The room has no good range for the shotty, and too close for PP+BR.

The top area where you meet Johnson and Miranda wasn;t bad, just kicking ass with your fellow marines, but this is short lived. Hope you kept that shot gun of yours! Enter the zero-gee room.

Shot gun the first elite and stick the next. Then head outside. I usually try and sneak around these three by taking the left ledge to the door and boot it inside. Sometimes I like a good fight, but the zero-gee makes movement sluggish.

Next, fighting off waves of Drones with one marine that dies instantaneously. Great, wait for the buzz and huff a few sticky grenades where they pop up and pick off the stragglers.

The next zero-gee spot is easier. Just shoot plasma pistol shots at the turret user and BR the two just flying around. The hard part are the two that spawn as you approach the last door. If you have any Plasma Pistol left, use it on these two, or stick them! If you manage to beat these two, have fun with the next area.

Assuming you still have the shotgun, this part shouldn't be brutal, but it is definitely a challenge. I camp in the middle lower lip. I usually pop out on the left side and try to kill them off one at a time with the BR and when it feels safe, I run to the box by the bomb and shotty the last few elites!

The mission is done and you've had a hell of a time playing it! What are your favorite levels? Any good ways of beating them you'd like to share? Post them below. Another favorite I have is Delta Halo and the Skull that gives master chief invisibility.

This is the best quote of all time.

What do they mean?

...Or if you did know about the plasma pistol, this mission was a cake walk. Turn mythic and Thunderstorm on, then you might wet yourself.
