Legendary help!

[Sir liqu1d_g0at]

i need help in legendary, i just got halo a week ago and beat it on normal yesterday, now im moving to legendary and i need help. 1 elite owns me!!!! how can i kill elite quickly without covenant weapons/grenades and whats a good strategy to not lose life so quickly for legendary newbs. i also read about the human pistol being powerful.. i know it kills hunters in 1 hit but i dont know how to use these weapons, can someone help a newb out? how do i use the pistol and AR.

Well, if you cant figure it out on your own, dont go streight to legendary, try hero or something else.

Good lord, go through the difficulties in order.

 

[SweatyOgre]

Stop sucking and practice more.

do you play co op? i think you die quicker on that because there is two of you. i did with this noob - the same one i mentioned in "best weapons combo", and we started on a checkpoint surrounded by enemies. this was on hard and we could do nothing (i had a sniper and he had a plasma rifle and it was on level 2)

 

[Zeroth]

umm.. i think he is soloing... and besides, if your using the PC version, you cann't co-op... and co-op is kinda cheap! 2 Master Chiefs!? <from what i've heard> INFINITE LIVES!?!?!?!? WTF IS THE POINT OF THAT!? MAKES IT TOO EASY, NOT TOO HARD!

 

[sp1d3r]

elites are easy if your still a noob you should keep your distance or stay in a lower diff
and it depends on how and what guns you are using shotguns are the best towards them unless you a re good with the pistol just avoid there punches and you be fine for the most part
if you dont have a shotgun just use your assault rifle and time some punches in there to lower him use grenades because he'll drop them anyways

if im using an assault rifle then i use melee on those aliens that have the round shield things, otherwise i simply fire at them. rocket launchers are best against those hunter guys. im on the level "I would have been your daddy..." after silent cartographer so i havent seen a shotgun yet.

Assault Rifle is terrible for use on a single enemy. It's bullets scatter and it misses a lot. Use pistol to attack with 2x on and keep firing until he gets close. Whip out a close range weapon, plasma rifle preferably, and blow the **** out of him.

 

[PunisherX]

those guys are one hit kill on neck or orange on chest and back with pistol geez dont use a shotgun on them

There's a shotgun on the first level. BTW; The game is beatable on legendary with just the pistol...Theres no real reason to use any other weapon

 

[sp1d3r]

shotguns waste big guys you dont use shotguns far away but pistol is the best weapon though .. thats all i use

 

[Cortana]

theres a shotgun on the first level? i didnt know that. must be some secret place somewhere (its the pillar of autumn aint it?)
