Hello everyone, my name is SPARTAN CIV. I have completed Halo ce on legendary like a few of you. I opened this thread because I was curious about different legendary strategies that you all may have. And in additon you may also ask for advice on situations and such. And while you are here please vote in the poll.

It is difficult, but not impossible, like Halo 2's campaign. Also a ***ing good time!
Hmmm....let's see.....

* Shoot things
* Hidebehind things
* Throw grenades at things
* Run things over
* Shoot more things
* Run Away from yet more things

Happy?

I use the pp/AR combo frequently. Remember,the PP is your friend.

that or you can practice being a good shot and use the human pistol. even on legendary halo isn't that bad, just don't let yourself get overwhelmed. you need to approach things in a more guerilla fasion than usual, hit, run,,hit again. don't go toe to toe with multiple enemies unless you have a weapon that can put them down easily.

I've beaten Halo 2 on legendary and am working on Halo:CE.

-the PP is your friend
-never give up a SR
-the AR is only good for crowd control but it's important to have
-plasmas are a blessing from heaven

Like others have said, the plasma pistol is your best friend, not just the overcharge, the single shot is very effective against every enemy you encounter (except for hunters). Practice with it, get your plasma pistol trigger finger really fast, it can shoot as quickly as you can pull the trigger. If you get fast enough with it, legendary will be a piece of cake for you. It's pretty much the only weapon you can beat all of legenday with. Yes, I have done it, beaten legendary using only the plasma pistol single shot, grenades, and melees. That's how good the plasma pistol is if you get good with it.

it's so funny, i've never used the PP in the first halo. i didn't think legendary was that bad at all. i used it for the first level in halo2 and that was it.

I think it's smart to carry both the pistols. Use the PP to take out an eliets shield then switch to the normal pistol and finish him off.
