Subject: So I just bought Halo 2...any advice for taking on the campaign?

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

-Don't play Cairo Station on Legendary until you are a veteran.

Cairo Station is the easiest mission in the game.

If you didn't Play Halo: CE or Halo 2 MP, your opinion about Halo means nada.

CE + H2 >>>>>>>>>>>>>> H3+Reach+H4

Noob Combo Elites, That is all

Not with most skulls on.

First area: just stop more Covies from spawning by killing the two Elites, leave the 1 Grunt alive, drop down and cloak
Second area: Use Johnson
Third area: Either skip it (you'll still have to deal with an Elite) or use Johnson (I haven't tested it with Johnson because I don't know how to get him over there)
Fourth area: Impossible. There's a small chance if you use Johnson.
Fifth area (Stealth Elites): Untested
Sixth area: Shoot to lure Elites close and then assassinate
Seventh area (similar room to the third area): Skip it
Eight area: Tag the Elite (don't cloak), run for cover. He'll be beating Keyes or Johnson. Assassinate him and then take out most of the Grunts. I don't know if it's possible to push Johnson to the next area, but if it isn't, leave some Grunts alive, cloak, and go to the next area
Ninth area: Crouch behind the small boxes. Stick the Rangers, including the one on top of the structure
Tenth area: Plasma pistol overcharged bolt from long distance and then move in for headshot
Eleventh area: Let Drones come close to UNSC shield and then shoot them
Twelfth area (group of Covies coming up the big elevator): Untested
Thirteenth area (you're in the elevator, a Ranger is operating a turret flanked by two other rangers): N00b combo
Fourteenth area (two rangers): Untested
Fifteenth (last) area: Testable, but it's difficult for me because of the piece of crap dev trainer I use causes headshot registration problems.

Holy wall o'text!

I suggest leaving the skulls if you want to keep your sanity during a Legendary playthrough.

Yes, I did make that mess. What are you going to do about it?

Use bullets, it helps.

Lol, he wrote that because he knows more than anyone about playing with almost all skulls on. I know he could beat several levels and Cairo is one because he sent me film. Good info is contained in that WOT.

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

charged plasma pistol bolt to an elite then headshot him. practice sniping, you need to have good accuracy to finish halo 2 (assuming your playing it on legendary)
extra caution is needed against jackal snipers, those things are lethal.

always give marines, ally elites heavy weapons because they have unlimited ammo.

using plasma rifles, plasma pistols, carbines or sniper rifles againts the flood is inneficient, swords, needlers, bullets and sentinel beams will get you through them.

you will have a tough time with the brutes, carbine works best against them IMO. aim for the head and try to finish em of as fast as you can.

shoot jackals in their feet or the notch in their shield to put them off stance then head shot, in large numbers they can challenge you.

watch out for drones, equally challenging as brutes (been a while since i played halo 2 on legendary). take them on at longer ranges. their needlers, plasma pistols are deadly. headshots will be necessary.

dont fear the hunters, easiest enemys in the game once you get used to engaging one. one sniper/beam rifle shot to their flesh will kill them.

carbine elites/brutes can be annoying so struggle as hard as you can to make that head shot (sniper) or head shots (carbine/br) before he takes you down first.

make good use of your active camo when fighting the flood and sentinels with the arbiter. run through areas if possible.

there will be moments when it seems impossible to beat something like the waves in cario station, prophet of regret fight, tartarus fight or the beginning of gravemind.
keep trying and eventually you will get past it. that feeling of accomplishment you get when beating halo 2 in legendary is great! good luck : )

Yay, recognition! I'll take that as a compliment. :)

And guess what. Today, I just finished an incomplete extensive LASO video guide. Well, actually, most skulls on. I didn't turn on:

-IWHBYD
-Iron
-the unnamed skull (since having most of the skulls on was already excruciating and since I did it for mostly demonstration and testing purpose)

See here. It took me about 3 hours just to upload the whole thing.
