If it were impossible how do people make walkthroughs for the game on legendary? I guess bad kids with low KDRs find this game hard. LOL Beat this game on legendary in one sitting.

Lol. I woudlnt go as far as that, but people like him do need to learn to get off their high horses and realise that very few people actually care how good they are at Halo, so there is no point in beung arrogant over a video game

Any smart warrior takes in plenty of supplies, you have to haul and drop weapons at the door to the hanger. First order of war, don't run out of ammo.
Also, you don't have to beat them in order. Cairo was my last level for CMP Legendary.

Then just get perma-cammo and presto, one skull in the bag.

The solution is right in front of you. :/

If you're in the first hangar, hang back near the entrance and headshot all Grunts then go hide behind that shield where the guy with the pistol was and stick Elites.

If you're in the second hangar, you have a safe area. Headshot all Grunts from far away and use noob combo. Just make sure you have 1 plasma pistol to use on the Zealot.

But really though, Thunderstorm skull isn't after the hangar battles. It's right before it. You don't need to complete the mission to keep a skull.

Now that I think about it, you can take out the Zealot with practically any weapon due to his weak shields.

Thunderstorm is after the cloaked Elite at the missile room and you go up the steps to the armory. Go into the next room (B.01) and it's above on the platform. That is after the hangers.

Edit: Mark should get perma-cammo or he will commit harakiri.

Oh right. It's been a long time since I've played Cairo Station... anyways, I just immersed myself in it and got a quick walkthrough ready which I'll be uploading right now. Halo 2 Legendary is a lot more tolerable than Reach. Although I've had some moments of frustration, that was often because I lost my patience and got demoralized.

For now, all I can say is that Mark should be enjoying CS, not merely playing it just to get a skull.

When you can't use range to your advantage, get up close and personal.

I'd say that the best strategy for the first Hangar is to dual-wield juggle 2 or 3 plasma pistols through the door and onto the catwalk with you. I used the big green crate for cover and popped off grunts one at a time, comboing elites one at a time. For the second hangar, my strategy is just bringing 3-4 PP's and noob comboing everything at a snail's pace. I literally spent 20 minutes on just that hangar the first time.

Using the BR on Grunts and grenade sticks on Elites, the first hangar took me very little time compared to when I was noob comboing from the big green crate.

I think it's better to be aggressive here. The reason for that is that you have much more marine support and have more safe areas. It's good to keep marines alive at least until the Ultras and Zealot show up as they make great distractions.

Also, if you end up facing a lot of Elites at once, there are very few positions that you can get a stick or noob combo from without getting shot down. One such area is here; these 2 small crates provide good cover if Sputnik isn't on.

The second hangar took me quite a lot of time (and by that, I mean reverts) but it could have been done much faster.

Did you have a BR with at least 72 ammo when you got the cp?

And did you use the spare BR near the machine gun and the spare BR in the room on the right?

Pistol huh? In that case, I suggest conserving BR ammo and using it only on Grunts. The pistol is more useful for noob combo here. I'll get a video up showing how.

I hope for his sake he is using another profile for this skull.

  • 03.16.2012 3:29 PM PDT

Kill a grunt with frag's or Plasma's quickly from up high, take the plasma pistol then fall back to cover behind the boxes on the lower level. You can attempt to climb back up top by getting on the Pelican. You'll get the hang of it eventually.

On a side note, I tried doing this as a Marine, it's damn near impossible. I'd even go as far as saying it's harder than SLASO...
