Subject: truth and reconciliation on legendary

Most challenging, not toughest. You can still use multiple approaches to most situations. Other games force you to stay back or hide.

Legendary is a surprise, and I don't mean in a 'happy birthday naked hot chicks in your bed' kinda way. I don't remember it being like this on the PC. Maybe I'm just that much older...and slower. Anybody else think of all the Halo games so far CE's Legendary is the toughest?


It is very tough in certain parts - but I think Halo 2 was tougher, or at least I remember a LOT more instant deaths in that game than in CE. Also, getting the bandana skull before you do Legendary is a huge advantage. In fact, it gives you such a huge advantage that it almost feels like cheating.

AR and Needler. The AR works well enough on the cloaked elites and grunts(keep your bursts short and quick). A shower of needles and stickies for Goldilox and frags for jackals works pretty well. I don't like the sniper rifle in that firefight.

This.

I use frags on Jackals though since they don't deserve to be sniped.

Everto ut planto trophies Sangheili

I feel like it's freakin tooth & nail for every damn checkpoint. I play for 20-30 minutes and kill what seems like a ton of covies only to be sent back to where I started lol.
I'll finish it on Legendary...I just hope it's before Halo 4 comes out lol.

dont worry murdock, you'll eventually beat it

I forgot and can't believe nobody mentioned it yet.

Back Pack reloading makes that grav-lift room survivable.

Snipe the Goldies and elites, Assault/Plama Rifle spam the rest.

I remember this being the hardest part for me when I was little. But that is because I sucked at sniping.

Also, the best sensitivities to play on are 5-10. Personally I think you should make it as high as you can while still maintaining your best aiming abilities.

Heh...I don't even have my Sniper at this point, I usually just have my AR and Plasma Pistol, but after someone drops a needler, I switch my AR for that. Needler/PP wrecks imo.

But that first room once you go up on the Hierophant is the hardest part of the level...hated it SO much.

PP is the best weapon in CE. I like to take it with sniper so I can clear out the various sword elites and hunters.

Yep. This. Back into a hallway corner after your cammo goes away, initiate the guys who (opening door) spawn in same hallway...(with needler in hand), and you've got a pass through. Clean up the small guys with (as someone else mentioned) the greatest weapon in Ce...plasma pistol...and it's Hunter city...

I dropped the sniper after sniping grunts at the beginning of the level on legendary. Was a nightmare getting through the rest of the level. About a 5 hour nightmare.

Friggin deal with it

Respectfully disagree..H2 was by far the hardest.

It's not camping, it's holding the designated location.

The sniper rifle is the best choice. On that map, the sniper rifle is boss.
not for me, i'm an average sniper. i thought i was good once until i witnessed some of my friends at sniping or players on YouTube lol.
how can people be that freakishly good: every no scope on a grunt are headshots, almost always HS the jackal when they retreat, evade. more impressively how quick they kill elites what with all those overwhelming PR bolts flying everywhere.
i changed my sensitivity speed to 5, i wonder what speed they use.
what speed do you guys/girls use?
10, I started using it in 2 so I could react faster in multiplayer and I just got used to it and kept using it.
