I've been trying and find it impossibly hard.. I can't even get out of the very beginning of the game. That second hangar that's just filled with those large bastards in all color variations. I forget what that particular enemy is called but as with other types of characters in Halo, the color variations mean different toughness levels. They all gather in the far left corner of the room (looking from where you enter the room), and when I kill one bunch of them a new group of the damn dudes just rolls right in through the invasion tube they rammed through the human ship. I'd love to progress but basically gave up after probably 100+ tries on that particular section of the game. Who's beaten Halo 2 on legendary, and how the hell did you do it? I'd really like to get through it before Halo 3 is released because I'd hate to be stuck on Halo 2 when that happens :)
Yeah, that section sucked, I couldn't do it by myself and was just barely able to get past it with a friend. Legendary is pretty much as it says, you better be awesome to beat it.
Since I couldn't get broadband until last year, I played the Halo 2 campaign FAR too much. Including co-op, here is the amount of time I have beaten it (roughly): Easy: 6-8 Normal: 4-5 Heroic: 2-3 Legendary: 2 (once on co-op and once alone)
as pathetic as this sounds, i've never even beaten halo 2, now i beat halo:ce lots of times, played over 7,000 matches online of halo2 and i've read all the halo books but for some reason i've never completed the campaign, one reason may be that I dont like playin campaigns by myself most of the time and my roommates would never be willing to play that with me and now that i have plenty of 360 games to keep me busy i just haven't gone back to playing it, i probably will tough it out sometime before halo 3 comes out just so i have actually beaten it
Yes, I play online alot, and for a week I didn't have xbox live because my internet was down and stuff I played it on Legendary it it was fairly easy to me, but that was a long time ago
Holy. Freaking. **** I just googled "Halo 2 legendary" and found an amazing site. I checked out the first few videos and the way this guy plays is ridiculous. That room I'm having so much trouble with and that I have tried 100+ times he has not one, not two, but THREE solutions on offer. They're all videos and he actually describes AND shows you what he does. AMAZING. The way he plays is incredibly confident.. and he really knows wtf he's doing. You can easily tell this guy's a Halo veteran. I play nowhere near like this.. besides, I had no idea you could kill Elites this easily (that's what they're called!).. plasma pistol, headshot. Holy **** I'm still recovering from the awesomeness of the display of skill in those vids. Check it out :).Here's a direct link to the page with the videos posted. I just grabbed the quicktime files and played them with MPC.
Halo 2 on legendary was somewhat challenging but not as challenging as halo's legendary mode. THe only tough spot on Halo 2 is the very first level after that everything is down hill, halo just kept getting more and more difficult especially around the flood.
Damn it.. I can't seem to get my gamercard in my sig. Anyone know how to do that? Using that link from xbox.com is definitely not doing the trick here.

Your absolutely kidding me. Yes ,yes we all know that Halo: CE was better than Halo 2 but we all should admit Halo 2 was much more harder in Legendary mode than Halo: CE. Way harder. In fact, it got easier when the flood appeared in Halo:CE and even more easier when the Flood & the Covenant duke it out.
to me halo one was harder to beat. that warthog jump kicked my butt. if you took a hit it was into the wall and deadly. on halo2 if hammer man got in a shot you could run , dodge and recharge the sheilds. in halo one it was restart the level.
nah ! I tried on coop with some pals but they sucked.. they were completely of no help... and by yourself i think its pretty hard! I'm not saying its impossible cos nothing is impossible at this world but i just couldnt make it.

Are you kidding me? Atleast on Halo:CE the elite used cover, on halo 2 they use cover for a couple of minutes then decide to hop over the cover to get to you. I will agree tha Halo2 was challenging but only in the shear ammount of enemies that were sent your way. In Halo:CE youd get 2 mabye 3 grunts with about 6 or 8 jackle/grunts between them, of course youd lob a grenade and get rid of the grunts first but the elites were harder to kill and used more effective cover. In Halo 2 they send four or five elites at you which is frustrating because they all shoot fast and group together and 5 against 1 is unfair. Which is what happens alot in the first level, after that the elites are more spaced out and you can handel one or two of them at a time no sweat, mostley due to the fact that they dont use cover right, the only time they do is when their shields die. But by the time they do that you will have shot them enough to kill them outright or get to them while there under "cover" and finish them off.Â

replace where it says "put your gamer tag here too" with your gamertag and see if that works.
I have beaten Legendary twice by myself. The only real trick to Legendary is to use the plasma pistol and the battle rifle together. One overcharged shot from the PP and then 1 BR shot to the head Kills Elites. The Grunts are just as easy as in other difficulties. The real challenge is the Jackal Snipers, the only way to get through them is to memorize where they are when you die. They have automatic headshots and they do not have to be looking at you in order to shoot you which is kinda retarded. So make sure that when you fire at them you hit them otherwise you are dead.
Just testing the sig.. I beat Halo 1 on legendary and found it to be pretty damn challenging, but I got through it. I don't remember a single spot in Halo 1 being as challenging as the spot I described in Halo 2.
Halo 2 legendary is incredible. It completly changes the way you play the game, on other modes you'd just charge in guns blazing and kill everyone. On legendary that's not possible so you had to play a completly different way.
I've completed it on legendary yes, didn't dare try to get one of the skulls though that'd make it even harder. XD The first bit is one of hte hardest parts, once youir past that you can do it all imo.
To be fair the hangars you are describing are one of the hardest spots in the game, reminiscent of the grav-lift room in CE.
I can offer a few pieces of advice to help you:
1) Collect enough weapons before attempting it. Doors close behind you closing off your supply of new weapons when you start this level so ferry a load of plasma pistols forward (you will need them). 2) Try to kill the grunts as they come through the tube. They are bunched and an easy target. 3) Use PP then BR headshot to kill the elites. 4) Save your grenades. You will need them on the final hangar. 5) On completing hangar 1 pick up and drop lots of weapons (PPs especially) to make sure they don't disappear. 6) When hangar 2 gets a bit hectic, return to hangar 1 to resupply. When you go back to hangar 2 they will have forgotten about you and will be clustered at the far end. 7) Remove the final few elites by sneaking forward and sticking them with plasma grenades.
Yeah, a couple of weeks before it was released. I wish that I wouldn't have though. Playing it in English the first time through would've been much more memorable. The French version wasn't nearly as Epic...
