uh halo 2 legendary was so easy.... they made noob combo for a reason guys...
It's not just the elites. It's the fact that there are fucking five of them standing next to each other along with backup and then sometimes snipers.
Cairo is the worst. I never got past the opening section of Delta Halo. I imagine Gravemind was quite a bitch to get through as well.
its simple you just have to memorize where the snipe shots came form, I mean Halo 2's AI was so crappy that they didn't adapt to your death unlike Halo 3 and Reach and ODST do, so just memorize where they spawn and it's easy picking.
Elites just noob combo quick br swipe, duck n hide, then repeat. grunts just swipe the br, jackles same thing or snipe them. or grenade hell hunters just dodge and destroy them,
only challenging enemies for me were the buggers...
the only reason i ever played halo 2 on legendary for any period of time was on the level right after cairo station to get the IWHBYD skull, and i got it. actually, my save in halo 2 is still on the checkpoint right before you pick up the skull and start the fight. i build a fort out of movable crates and stuff too. most i ever killed was 6 i think. the beam rifle ones fuck me over.
I have literally memorized where every enemy is in every single Halo game. It's a position, timing, and ammunition issue.
@Donut: To beat Outskirts: just jump up as if you were going to get the Blind skull, jump up again from there with a grenade jump, and skip straight to the Warthog part. It's a cakewalk from there. You can do much the same on Metropolis by taking the Warthog instead of the tank. It blows the mind how short some of the Halo 2 levels actually are.

Yeah sounds like a good strategy.
Oh wait you got sniped by the Jackal way off in the distance.
Oh wait there's 20 drones suddenly behind you for no reason.
Oh wait Banshees/Phantom shooting at you from above.
Shit you're out of ammo for your BR!
And you just got stuck by an Ultra Grunt.
Halo 2's AI might have been simple but there's no arguing that game was unforgiving as fuck. A single melee from anything, a single beam shot, a single grenade splash, hell a Grunt could come bite your knee and you'd probably die in one hit. + Halo 2 loves putting random enemy respawn points behind you all the time. I had a lot of fun with Halo 2 Legendary, but if you think it's easier than the first game you haven't played it lately.

Then MLG Bandwagoning came along and swept the goodness away by catering to all of the profags. I hate MLG. I hate them so much.
To me, canon wasn't ruined (surprisingly) before Greg Bear's cliche atrocity. That was 343i and Microsoft's decision. Worst part is, Frankie won't come out and say that the copy-paste was bogus. They were all like "This Greg Bear guy is awesome!" and I was like "Okay this sounds cool they have a writer who won some cool awards" and then I saw how all he did was copy-paste everything from his other work. Damn I wish there was a way to call someone out on contaminating other franchises with the same ideas from other franchises.
I wish greg bear had actually gotten to know the franchise and it's canon before even getting started.
At comic con last year he had said he had never even known of Halo let alone played it when asked to work on it and didn't bother researching about who is what even whilst he was writing.
As far as I am concerned anything written after ghosts of onyx is not canon, I mean seriously, the Brutes being the first species that attacked a human world?
I'm aware it was a jackal scout that attacked the ship but it was brutes who went ground side.
The Elites should have been the ones on the front line not Brutes.
