Guess what, I'm still here (and where's 1.10?!) :)
A couple of points about Halo on Legendary...
hmm...there are dozens of situations in Halo where "deadly aim" doesn't mean a thing 'cause you are faced with a large group of Covenant who will take you down in less than a second. Two Betrayals comes to mind. Even if you are one of the infamous Rail Gun Godz, there are fights in Halo you can't win without luck and/or (even more important than luck :) ) strategy.
Now don't get me wrong: I'm not saying you are a liar/bad player/whatever, but please don't give them pour souls a wrong impression about playing Halo on Legendary! It's comparable only to the "Total Carnage" setting of the (much missed) Marathon Series. The difference between Heroic and Legendary is easily as recognizable as the difference between Easy and Heroic (ok, ok, maybe slightly less) and if you get caught in the open by two Elites you are dead.
Ph34r the Elites, my friends...
I finished the game solo on Legendary and it took me quite some time and lot's of respawns. Maybe I suck, but I have played it constantly since it came out and still do, so I'd like to think otherwise.
A couple of odd strategies and fun things (check out Bungie's Halo site for more ->Spoilers!):
On the last bridge on Assault on the Control Room, there are a couple of fun things to do:
There's an Invisibility upgrade in the last hallway before the bridge (where the inv. Elite's are).
You can shoot the Elite running to the Banshee with the Snier rifle (no, really?!?!)
You can jump on the beam (for lack of the appropriate english word) that runs from the top of the pyramid to the bottom of the valley, saving some time and missing out on some fun.
Explore the pit where the beam from the pyramid connects with the ground.
If you acquire a banshee and want to continue to use it, but don't want to take a shortcut to the top of the pyramid, just land on the bridge, knock the Banshee down to the valley and continue through the door. Once you emerge again into the valley, you're banshee will still be there (and Cortana wants you to take a ghost, ha!).
This is getting a little long, just two more "unconventional" things:
Wraiths (Covenant tanks) can be a pain. But they don't spawn active, instead an Elite appears next to it and hops in, he's visible for about one second. Just enough time to snipe him. Try it with the first wraith in Two Betrayals, it's activated as soon as you either hit the snow at the bottom of the pyramid or advance far enough along the path down.
For the next you need: a frag grenade, one rocket launcher and a twisted sense of humor.
Look straight down.
Drop grenade.
Jump.
At highest point, fire rocket launcher.
Enjoy the view :lol:
I wish I already had Halo 2...::sigh::
Enough (and then some) from me
