Subject: Legendary = Ughh

I have beaten all the Halos solo legendary, yet I still cannot beat Halo 2 campaign on legendary, especially those dreaded jackal snipers; they turn my brain into pie at all my failed attempts. Are there any special tricks? (I already know about PP&BR) Ways to outsmart AI?

I also have decided to later donate my XBOX, to a child less fortunate, and I was wondering if Halo 2 Vista and Halo CE^2 are still worth to buy at such a late time. (Any campaign/multiplayer issues?)

Halo 3's Legendary is identical to playing Halo CE on Normal. What you talking about?

Halo CE and Halo 2 are the most difficult Halo games on Legendary.

Ways to outsmart AI?
You asked the right question. With the introduction of H3 and Reach, Legendary has become just shoot, melee, and grenades, with the inclusion of tricks and glitches. CE Legendary is unique because it has AI manipulation potential. Believe it or not, H2 also has AI manipulation.

On CS,

-allow me to introduce the art of lure shooting. After the stealth Elites, you can draw the 2 Elites that shoot down the armory master guy to you for an easy assassination. MisterMonopoli, or as I like to call him, MasterMonopoli, didn't even have to shoot to lure one.

-at the bomb room, if you go here, the Elites will come to your position. With Sputnik on, you can assassinate them. Also, if there are any Ultras and they pull out swords, go to the elevator. They can't follow you there unless you allow them to melee at you.

On Oracle,

Preserving Grunts and Elites by getting them to go to a better position (their backs against the wall, they have a better chance against Infection Forms).

Skipping the elevator fight

On GJ,

To get Rtas Vadum (always in the Wraith on Legendary) to fight the enemy Wraiths, simply bypass all the Ghosts with Spectre then go back.

Making the Brutes in the first room come to you by parking the Spectre at the door + preserving Hunters longer.


Finally, Uprising. Turning on Black Eye isn't too bad since there's so many assassination opportunities on this level as you can see in this video. Dealing with the Jackal sniper is even easier since you just gotta go close to him to make him drop his rifle.

Halo 2 Legendary is not easy. I know some of the best Halo players on this planet and they all say H2 Legendary is the most difficult. Even if you skip large portions, you need to beat Cairo and Oracle and you cannot run through those.

But I'll always try, that's for sure.

How about this, since you claim H2 Legendary is easy, you should have no problem doing it with no deaths, single run through. Only one person has been able to do it but you would have to film it. USB CC's are less than $20 for one that will be good enough to record your prowess. I know of one for $6. Film it and I will apologize for doubting you. Halo 2 Legendary, single run no deaths.

Thanks sliding ghost! Also Halo 3 campaign is so easy that my 8 year old bro ran through it on legendary within 4-5 days 2-3 hours each day.

1-Cody Miller did have to fight through substantial portions of the level.
2-That's a segmented run, which went through several iterations, and probably took 50 bajillion man hours to create. Basically, that 90-minute speedrun took several people several years to make.

  • 12.14.2011 8:29 AM PDT

Here's Cody Miller's no death single run:

So yes, the video posted above this post was segmented in order to set a speedrun record but Cody is the only one on the planet to achieve this without dying...enjoy.

Sometimes, I dream about cheese.

as a matter of fact i don't think I can do it anymor, havn't played HALO or any other shooter in a year now
last time I did it was in 2008 (I don't know but for the game seemed REALLY easy, maybe I just got very luck during my attempt) when they shut the game down in April 2010 my friends were talking about HALO 2 and how hard the campaign was, I was surprised and told them the campaign was so easy, you don't even have to try
they thought I was a troll or idiot do I played it again at home and got slaughter by the first elite out of that door...
come on 2014, hurry up

I'm confused, you've gone THAT long without playing? In 2014 you're gonna have some warming up to do, in MW2 i play multiplayer sometimes, and if i don't play for a week i get careless in my tactics and lose.
