Subject: Stuck on mission, please help!

Right now I'm playing the sniper mission on legendary and can't seem to beat the final part where your at the grav lift. I have 16 sniper ammo and a needler full of ammo. I also have 2 bars of health left. Does anyone have any good advice or tactics that can help?

Save sniper for elites, turret gunners and hunters. Have cover close by. Take out Elites first when they come down lift. Try to keep your distance. Hunters can be problem without pistol. Try to use marines as decoys for hunters if theres any left. Using turrets is probably a bad idea. Try not to die. :)

The pathway between the rocks is a natural strong point. Retreat to that and let them come to you. Your only serious worries are grunts tossing stickies and mortally wounded elites that will want to charge you. All others don't like to press you too closely.
If you are on legendary you probably don't have marines left. Using the Sniper on the elites is okay, but I'd save that ammo for shade gunners and the hunters that are last ones down the lift. There are something like 4-5 waves of enemies. You will know the hunter's arrival by their music. Finish off the hunters and replenish ammo. FoeHammer will bring you a fresh squad of marines.
Going up the lift is a whole 'nother nightmare. Let us know how you do.

Hey, thanks guys I finally got up the lift! I also (after many tries) made it past the 2nd wave and am now at the next pair of hunters. Don't worry I got it from here.
