I got a much better attempt now which I'll be uploading shortly. Not a sweat this time. Ditched the BR for the pistol as soon as the Grunts were all dead. And the best part? Caught both Ultra Elites looking away and assassinated them.

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...
Do marines have recharging health?

Nope, every hit counts. You've really got to be tactical which makes for an interesting experience, with grenades being thrown slower and not as far, jump height reduced and movement speed etc. It's fun on Easy/Normal/Heroic but Legendary is a pain even on Co-op. The Hanger part on Cairo just is too darn difficult without regen health.

Black Eye doesn't work either...darn Marines.

Mark V guy, Sputnik may help as well. Meleeing enemies may make them turn around, which makes for easy assassinations against Elites.

It is odd how I enjoy the hangar battles yet have an extremely frustrating time with the battles up to the bomb room, which I also enjoy. Imo, the worst part of CS has to be the second encounter with the Elite Rangers (right before the bomb room). The noob combo seems to be the only way to kill these freaking Elites. Elite Rangers piss me off so much...

Sounds like hell. I'd be up for it (on Normal or lower. I'm not crazy) if I knew how to swap Chief with a marine.

A lot of opinions crowding Cairo Station. I personally find that taking the sword form the first hangar battle makes dealing the next hangar battle much easier against the Zealot-bodyguards. I'm a close range type of guy so I tend to do better over in these parts. A lot of people say using a sword is impossible over there and that I get lucky or I'm lying, but the Zealot-bodyguards are hesitant to shoot if you are near them. Just watch out for the Zealot himself. He tends to charge as soon as possible, so stick him just a little after you have engaged the bodyguards.

Just my two cents, but the hardest part of Cairo Station is after you get past the armory.

Did you do this after killing the other Elites?

And were they facing away from you? I got assassinations on them in the video above because they weren't facing me.

Agreed.

Yeah, I did it after killing the others. I'm usually able to get one while he is facing away, but that's it. I have to do it the old fashion way for the rest.

somewhere in the heavens...they are waiting. I love the Marathon Trilogy.
Halo CE will always be the best game in the Halo franchise. What a perfect game.

I think Cario Station was the hardest level on Legendary, the first time I beat it I was so relieved and excited! But the only skull I ever got was the Blind Skull on the first New Mombassa level.

arguable, it was more of a routine level: crouch, charge pistol, up, fire, crouch, switch weapons, up, BR headshot (repeat 30 times)
the beginning of Gravemind was an absolute shocker
