Having not completed any Halo game on anything above Heroic - i started Reach on Legendary and for the first few missions i managed to get by although i died alot.
It is alot easier in the open levels if you take your time. I am now upto misson 5 (the one right after the flying mission) but now it almost seems impossible by myself.
I will explain why...i am in a room after you drop down into the ship thru the sheilds. A good bit on I have entered a room with aPlanet hologram in the middle andset the switch-NOW Ihave to meet up with the team so they can set a bomb (it was a real struggle getting here because of elites with jetpacks and grenades...but the game hit a checkpoint which helped.
So you leave that room and go to a twisting narrow corridor and a door opens. There must be 6 elites at least in this room and more smaller enemies come in when a door at the back opens...I go back and forth between rooms getting every weapon and trying to take out as many as possible but with the recharging sheilds the Elites have, you can easily empty everything avaliable and still have the two brown coloured elites running up and down the stairs at the back.
I HAVE PLAYED THIS SAME AREA FOR ABOUT 4 - 5 HOURS (longer than kane and lynch 2) and still can't get past. You end up having used all your ammo. Going in with a sword sounds like a way to take them but its still really hard to get them without them kicking you into oblivion. One time i sneaked by the two last Elites (i managed this by using my sword to hit onef those purple boxes up to where i wanted to be, and hiding from them)and up a stair but was then killed in the last dash to the next room.
It is frusrating but i really don't want to lower the difficulty...i think so far legendary has been not impossible but this level is looking that way because of how restricted the area is...i would like to add that in this mission, the soilders who are supposed to help you are completely useless...they die without fighting.
So whats making it hard is: how useless your guns can be against the elites, lack of grenades, the level gives you nowhere to go, and you can end up having to fight 2 elites without a single bullet/laserbeam left.
My question is...how do you get past this...has anyone managed it alone. If you know how, let me know.
