I still haven't finished it on legendary, but i have done pillar of autom(sp?), halo, silent cart, and most of truth and reconsiliation. It is not easy at all, the difference between heroic and legendary is insane. But at least the hunters still die from one pistol shot. Ive noticed that the best way to stay alive on legendary is to find ways to sneek up on the covies and alot of melee's or pistol plasma gernade combos on elites. But when i finish em all ill let you know

I've beaten the whole game on legondary at least 12 times (not bragging, I have). Once you get good enough its a brease. It just takes stratagy and determination. I suggest you start slow, dont rush into gun fights take out the most difficult opponent first then work your way down.

I've beaten it once on co-op, and twice by myself. BTW, it is not easy.

The first time that you play it on any difficulty its hard but once youve done it once it is really easy to do again. My main advice is to make sure your shield bar doesnt drop low so you dont start taking hits on your health. Take your time and wait for it to recharge.

I found it somewhat hard but if you just pick off the enemies one by one, leaving the hardest for last, i didn't think it was that incredibly hard. The are an incredible amount of grenades so use those to your advantage, you always find more so don't worry about running out. The plasma pistol and either a regular pistol or assault rifle were best until you reach the flood, then I generally carried a shotgun and either one of the rifles until the rocket launcher and ammo were abundant.

I started a few days ago and am up to Two Betrayals. It is easier than I thought it would be, the only level I had trouble on was Truth and Reconciliation.

I definetly agree with you neox, i found it best to pick off the grunts with the pistol, then the jackels with the plasma pistol - then pistol combo, and save the elites for last and have yourself a goos old fashioned stand off

Exactly, otherwise you have to worry about and deal with 5 little grunts shooting their plamsa pistols which dont do much damage alone but 5 together with the elites rifle is just hell. I also found it somewhat easy to go through on legendary if you kept a plasma rifle instead of the pistol along with a human weapon. The rifle does more damage or at least seems to than the pistol and can also take down elites shield decently fast. It tends to overheat however, thats what led me to take the pistol more often.

Yeah the plasma rifle is very effective, even at a distance, it definetly shoots much straighter than the assault rifle, and drains sheilds alot quicker, not to mention the fact that it temporarily stuns your opponets...

The key to beating the levels on legendary that have no flood, is using the Plasma rifle.
They key to beating the flood levels on legendary, is the shotgun

dont get yourself cornered with flood, could be the last thing you'll do oh and the maw your time is reduced by i think 1 min but thats not too bad really. and elites are multiplyed so theres loads more. if your not aiming for the head with a sniper jackels and grunts will usually tkae more than one shot on legendary, and the elites in ghosts will try to run you over more. if you kill your mairines for fun like i do dont on legendary they are mean! more on the halo level casue they have snipers! serously tho just keep playing on legendary you'll get used to it and it'll b like easy or well normal more like

I did. Took me a looooong time though. The Library and Two Betrayals were pretty damn frustrating. Make sure to pad your room before you throw your controller.

you hardly have to fight on the maw

usually when you see covies and flood fighting just run around

IE when they flood are fightinh the black elites and grunts in the cafateria with the 2 hunters you can just run through the far side and take little damadge

In the maw all u have to do is run and use a shotgun because when enemies run out of areas they wont shoot u until they get to a certain spot.

and in T and R when u go throug the grav lift fight till all marines are dead then grab invisible power up melle as many enemies as u can before u appaear then haul ass up throug one of the doors the enemies come from and fight from there so u arn't sorrounded.( Sorry for spelling)

Did it about a year ago. The hardest part is T&R. If you can get through the grav lift room and the docking bay, you can get through any part of the game.
