Really Legendary isn't that much more difficult if you play it smart and know the levels.
Like the other guy said, plasma pistol / BR, but this is only useful on Brute Cheiftans.
Use your assets.
-Any Covenant level, turn on Cowbell, Grunts Birthday Party, and IWHBYD (for laughs) skulls. No others, no need to make it harder.

-Flood Levels, turn on the Catch skull. Flood don't use grenades, but large ones drop them where they die. More for you.

-Always look to take out the sniper jackels first before proceeding into any new area.

-Any time you have allies, ARM THEM BETTER. Give them better weapons. ESPECIALLY on the Covenant level. Don't use the laser, and after you take out the AA wraith, give the laser and the fuel rod gun to your ODST. YOU drive, make the ODST Fuel rod ride shotgun, and drive conservatively. The laser should be shotgun on the mongoose. Once in the first tower, take the laser back with either a BR or Carbine.

-ALWAYS drive. Any level.

-Always headshot human and brute Flood. They go down in 1 hit.

-Plasma, Spike, or flame grenade Elite and Tank Flood. Sword is a 1 hit on tank forms also.

-Plasma Rifle is best on spike shooting Flood, unless you can stick or burn them.

-Shoot everything from range as much as possible, and only get close when you have to.

Depending on the level, there are all kinds of little tricks to get through it. too many instances to list.

Use the spartan laser 4 times, once against the AA wraith, once on each shade turret. Give it to a marine and keep him alive at all costs. Next kill the chieftain with a fuel rod and save his fuel rod another marine.

When driving to the first tower, either give the marine passenger the spartan laser or fuel rod, your choice. Do the best you can to keep them both alive and shooting for you.

When arriving at the tower, give the healthiest marines (usually the ones with helmets) your laser and fuel rod. Give the other brs or something. solo the top of the tower with a br and plasma pistol. (plasma pistol to knock off brute shields.) if you manage to kill the chieftain up top, take his invincibility. Head downstairs, keep your marines alive, find good weapons, give them to the marines. make sure you have a marine holding your laser and fuel rod at all times.

when at the hornets, make sure the two marines holding your fuel rod and laser are passengers. they'll do plenty of the work for you.

let me know if you still need more help. basically keep all your best weapons with you and pick up good weapons for the npcs.

I also find giving good weapons to the arbiter on any level he's on helps a lot. (sword, rockets, fuel rod, laser, etc)just never give him or an elite a gravity hammer, they don't use it.

darn, i forgot which video on youtube i used as help (i think it was nextgenwalkthroughs. Just watch videos on youtube and it will explain it very clearly. One thing though which will make the ending so easy:
At the start of the level, u will find a brute with a fuel rod gun. Keep that until the end of the level where u encounter all the brutes and grutns and that with the flood. Use th efuel rod then as it will make yuor job so easier

lol legendary is easy as -blam!- in this game. Why are you having trouble? But I guess if you want tips use a PP and BR and just overcharge the PP and headshot with the BR.

This.

@op Do this:

1. skip the beach battle. It's doable even on Mythic but it's not worth it. There are better battles at the second part.
2. Get the unmanned Ghost and boost into the first tower.
3. Do not pick up active camouflage unless you don't plan to use it later in the game. If you do pick it up, don't use it yet. Headshot the two closest Grunts, jump on the two stacked supply cases, swap camo for power drain, go up elevator and use it on the Brutes. N00b combo (there's a supply case with plasma pistols) or spike grenade stick the two Brute minors/majors (or just headshot if they got affected by the power drain) and assassinate the Chieftain. Pick up the laser again. If he dropped/didn't use invincibility, use that to bypass all the Covies gathered at the tower door. Otherwise, get the camo and sneak past them.

4. swap the BR for the fuel rod gun that spawns where you got the Ghost and drive to the Hornets. Give the laser to one of the pilots.
5. Kill all the Banshees and the enemies at the third tower. If the Chieftain dropped/didn't use a power drain, use that to intercept the Brutes at the third tower door. Otherwise, give the fuel rod gun the Chieftain dropped to Arby and use his plasma rifle.
6. Get the laser from the pilot, go inside, go to the left, use frags on the Drones, laser + fuel rod the Hunters. Pick up a plasma pistol from the supply case and a BR outside. If Arbiter has a sword on his side, kill him, move it away from him, and give it to an Elite (it's a good idea to have a sword wielding Elite while fighting the Flood).

7. If the drones after killing the Brutes are too annoying, you can skip them by fuel rod jumping into the terminal room and then stepping onto the elevator. Use (dual wield) the plasma pistol in the left supply case with the mauler on the right supply case on the Brute stalkers. Assassinate the Chieftain. Run past the Flood and go down the elevator.
8. Kill the Flood. Then melee Arbiter 3 times and go up to the big glass window but don't go up the ramp to the door. Headshot him then go up. A waypoint should appear. Turn around and the 2nd Arby will spawn among the Flood. Let the Elites handle the Flood.
9. Drive to the Hornets in the Warthog or Ghost (take the shortcut that is on the right side of the second lookout tower) but be sure to kill the War Chieftain because he doesn't get killed by the game.

10. Kill the Scarabs. I like attacking the right one first but most do the worst and attack the left. If you do the left, you're going to have be careful because you might end up getting splattered or worse, getting launched because you destroyed the core too early.
11. Revelation. There are many ways to approach this but the easiest way is to just use active camo to bypass the Covies on the second bridge and then go jump across the gap and trigger the cutscene. Second easiest way is to laser the Jump Pack Brutes and beam rifle the bodyguards.
