Title: Halo 2: Legendary
Post by: tifreak on December 06, 2005, 04:10:00 pm
I was wondering if any here has taken the Halo 2: Legendary challenge? If you have, how far have you gotten in Legendary mode?

Currently, me and my bro have been playing for about 1 month, and we have just gotten past where you meet the plant/creature that sends you after the index. :)smile.gif

If you haven't played this mode, you really are missing out on a pain in the shorts game... :Dbiggrin.gif

Attempted, never really got anywhere.  I don't know, for some reason I'm not terribly good against the CPU, but against humans, I rock, if I do say so myself.  I think I'm around the part where you get dropped in to the city.

Well, a piece of advice:

Pick up Plasma Rifles as soon as you can, they cut through the enemy shields very quickly, but will still require lots of planning and tactics. :)smile.gif

Personal favoite combo (in gameplay) is most definatly Battle Rifle and a Plasma with either a pistol or SMG due-wielded.  Although I never wield in multiplayer, gernades are too much fun :Dbiggrin.gif.  Something I learned was that the shotgun is your best bet against elites.

That is true, the shotgun is the ultimate weapon, problem is, the shells for it are hard to find, and the enemies version will take you out in one shot, plus there are a ton of enemy snipers...

My parents say its "too violent" so I cant have it.  LOL i just borrow my friends, he has it and never plays it so he just lets me have it.  It's prob. one of the best X-box games ever.

Did your friends beat legendary in co-op, or alone?

I love the shotgun when it is available, SMGs are my personal favorite dual wield, and the caribines are nice when you are fighting the brutes, if you get 2-3 headshots off, they will die.:)smile.gif

The funniest thing I have everheard out of this game:

Grunt: I will love you, I will pet you, I will feed*BAM*... :Dbiggrin.gif

I was laughing so hard after that I couldn't play for an hour... And the BAM is me shooting it with a pistol... >Dgni.gif

Seargent: *Takes Sniper rifle, gives battle rifle* And I thought you were my friend...

This was where you crash on the planet, he gets a sniper, no fair... :(sad.gif

Anybody else heard anything funny like that?

"Man, why am I always in crash landings?"
"Your unlucky?"
"No, it's because the pilots are trained at FSU."

I couldn't play for a day.  It's the only time I have heard anything referred to the outside world, and it was absoultly hilarious.

I haven't played a whole lot of Halo 2, since I don't own an Xbox. Legendary on Halo 1 is fairly easy for me now. though- I've beaten it about three times. I play online on PC a lot, I use the same screenname, and I tend to hang around the "Razor's Edge" Death Island game and the Big Toys games.

Legendary on Halo 2 is almost to hard to be fun. You die way to much. I like heroic and X-box live more :)smile.gif

true, but if u do beat it, it is something to boast about :Pblah.gif

My bro and I are on the last level, then once that is complete, I will try to beat legendary on my own...

I sorta agree, but it makes you think, makes you come up with strategies on how to beat that part. If I die alot, I take a break and code something. Then after 2-30 min, I go back to the game. :)smile.gif

I enjoy leaping out into the heat of battle, facing impossible odds and still killing everything that moves. It doesn't go well on Legendary.  ;)wink.gif

Post by: tifreak on December 16, 2005, 02:12:00 am
ROFL That is so true! :lol:bounce2.gif

The thing about legendary I hate so much is the snipers, since you can't see everywhere, one can snipe you from anyplace, and you may die ten times just trying to find him...

Post by: Liazon on December 18, 2005, 05:17:00 pm
For some reason, Halo 2 Legendary is easier for me than Halo Legendary.  I've been able to beat 6 levels in Halo 2 on legendary, but then I got bored and decided to try to beat Ninja Gaiden on Very Hard.  I haven't been able to beat a single Halo level on legendary except for the first one... barely.

I've also found that the skulls, even the beneficial ones, don't help me much on Legendary.  Countless times, Grunts B-Day Party has blown me up when some shieldless elite tried to sock me, but I shoot it in the head.  They're just kinda fun to use on lower levels.

Halo 1 Legendary isn't even that hard... I can play through Halo 1 on Normal now and die less than 10 times through the whole game.

Gah, the last guy is super hard. We have only been able to get his hp down by half or so... :(sad.gif:cry:pleure.gif

legendary is ridiculous...I keep getting killed by elites in the area where the enemy ships board in the first level.
Title: Halo 2: Legendary
Post by: BCTurk on January 10, 2006, 04:12:00 pm
Lol.  I know one thing that helped me on Heroic is using gernades often.  In normal, I don't use too many 'nades, so using more will probably help.  Also, jupming and lots of unloading, even if you not accurate helps.
Title: Halo 2: Legendary
Post by: necro on January 10, 2006, 04:18:00 pm
I keep getting either near a grunt grenade or get in front of an elite...either are lethal.  Heroic isn't to bad...it showed me  that needelers are awsome.
Title: Halo 2: Legendary
Post by: BCTurk on January 10, 2006, 04:19:00 pm
If you end up infront of elite, jump and move to either side or fowards.
Title: Halo 2: Legendary
Post by: tifreak on January 10, 2006, 04:21:00 pm
You're best bet, either dual up on Pistols, because they pack quite a punch, or use the plasme rifles, they will take the elites shields down almost as fast as they take yours down.

Me and my bro spent two weeks on that area alone...
Title: Halo 2: Legendary
Post by: BCTurk on January 10, 2006, 04:23:00 pm
That area was easy, it was the go**anm flying ones when you go outside the station, I began thinking about sending bungie hate mail.
Title: Halo 2: Legendary
Post by: tifreak on January 10, 2006, 04:27:00 pm
ROFL! Those were a pain in the a**, but we had less trouble with those then the second area of boarding craft. :)smile.gif

Oh yeah, I guess I forgot to mention this, but we beat halo 2 legendary a few weeks ago, and we used a Banshee to finish it off. >Dgni.gif

not on the final boss???
Title: Halo 2: Legendary
Post by: tifreak on January 10, 2006, 04:33:00 pm
Oh yeah, on 'Tartarsauce', as we so affectionately call him. :rofl:rotfl.gif

Got his shields down, slammed him with the 'missle' that the banshee has, and it took him out after several hits. You would have to watch it though, since the brutes would come out, you could shoot the missle in the middle of them, and they would all jump off of the edge, committing suicide. :lol:bounce2.gif

Lol.  I did it the old fashion way on Heroic.  Took like a week <_<dry.gif.
Title: Halo 2: Legendary
Post by: tifreak on January 10, 2006, 04:40:00 pm
I am talkin Legendary. I beat Tartarsauce by myself on heroic in under an hour...

We had spent nearly two weeks tryin to beat him, then said to heck with it and finally went and looked up ways to help defeat him. That was the only level. The rest of it, we did it guns a-blazin. :Dbiggrin.gif

Post by: spengo on January 10, 2006, 04:40:00 pm
Halo 2 legendary is only possible doing coop. In my experience anyways. Even then, it's way too hard. Heroic is like Halo1 legendary, so that's much easier to play.
Title: Halo 2: Legendary
Post by: Liazon on January 10, 2006, 04:48:00 pm
I just simply used plasma pistol and battle rifle and beat half of Halo 2 on legendary.  Then I got bored and tried to do it in Halo 1.  Couldn't beat 2nd level.  I tried using plasma pistol and pistol, but I guess I just got freaked out by the fact I had no heavy weapons.

Skulls are fun.  Which ones have you guys found?

edit:  Halo 2 coop is way too hard for me and my brother.  One of us always dies somehow.  Then we tried to push Sarge on the first level into the battles to help us fight.  We were so close, but then he ran away after the first pelican bay.  It was funny though.  Then I beat the first half of the game by myself on legendary, got the Envy Skull and the Grunts Birthday Party Skull, made files so I could easily access them, and then me and my brother had a blast blowing up grunts, elites, brutes, the like on easy.  It was so fun.  Well, not anymore.

Wtf, are you saying that Halo 2 is easier than Halo 1? Are you high on something? O_Oshocked2.gif Halo 2 is like 10000x harder than Halo 1.

Post by: MathStuf on January 11, 2006, 12:40:00 pm
I've beaten Legendary by myself. Now when I go to Heroic, it's like cutting through butter. I used the Banshee on Tartarus too, but I did it alone. I think the key is to find new approaches to areas and snipe if possible (like the gondola area with the Hunters).

About the skulls, I only have a few more to get yet.
