If you're complaining with that part, wait till you get inside the ship. The very next section is, in my opinion, the hardest segment of the game on legendary.
As to the part you're having trouble with--make sure you're getting the active camo available in the previous area. With it, you can run in ahead of your troops and use from-behind melees to take out everyone at the gravity lift, save the shade turrent gunners--but they go down easily enough with a quick sniper round. When the covie dropship hits, grenades and a healthy dose of AR will do the trick. Mostly, if not all, grunts anyway. When the Covies start dropping from the grav lift, time each drop with a grenade or two. Always focus fire on large threats first--elites, then jackals, then grunts. Stay out of the turrents--mobility is your friend. Refer to the above post on dealing with Hunters. You can also lure them into a melee war--get close enough that they'll charge you, sidestep, and melee them in the back. Two or three melees is all you need to put them down and they're fairly easy to sidestep.
