Halo 2 on Legendary

[Pavey]

Im about to put my size 9 through the f***ing screen in a mo so any help would be extremely appreciated.
Im still on the first level on Legendary and im at the second main hanger you come to,the first one having the stationary marine transporter thingy in it. I enter from one side and there are two marines in there who quickly die,and at the other end is one of the boarding tubes that spills out the covenant. It seems after killing 4 or 5 grunts more come through the tube,and you find yourself up against 8 or 9 elites aswell as the little bastards.
My last go i ran out of ammo and was nowhere nearer to finishing it than when i started. Any tips as to how to get rid of the Elites sharpish,i must of had 40 tries at it now.
Definitely more annoying than Halo Legendary!

That's the hardest level on Legendary, so don't worry.

If you time the run at the start right, you can pick off the two grunts on the gun turrets, then, a well timed plasma grenade down the left side, will stick to an elite and kill two of them. That's the only way to do it, use sticky grenades to take out the big bitches. Use a charge pistol and plasma rifle/normal pistol once you run out of ammo.

Im all out of plasma grenades and keep having to wait till the grunts on the floor get close before kiling them,so i can get the grenades they drop.
V.annoying!

Get a buddy to co-op with ya - It's about 10 times better that way anyhoo !

It's ridiculous that the opening level is the most difficult.

Charged Plasma pistol + 1 Battle Rifle shot to the head = Death for Elites

Still pretty shocked that I made it through this level myself, definitely gets easier after this. Mostly due to the fact you get the more powerful weapons to play with later on.

Here's how I made it though

In the first hanger don't use any grenades at all, this is actually easier that you think and leaves you with a big stock pile to play with in the next hanger.

Now there should be a lot of plasma pistols lying around. It is quite dull but I made sure I moved as many as I could in to the next corridor. Otherwise they dissappear once you get to the next checkpoint.

Now with the plasma pistols and battle rifle and all those grenades you should stand more of a chance.
Best tactic is to shoot all the grunts with your rifle, run in close use as many of your grenades as you dare. Now get the hell out of there into the corridor and wait for to it calm down a bit. Now try again, also gradually pick of the elites using the plasma pistol + rifle technique, don't worry if don't get chance to kill the elite once its shield is down best to wait for another chance. You should have plenty of plasma pistols so take your time and stay behind as much cover as you can. I also found varying the direction in which I attacked mean't I could expose an elite to the pistol + rifle treatment before the rest knew what was going on and then get back into cover.

Thanks for the advice but its too late. Bird made me turn it off due to me shouting the 'C' word at the telly.

Tell me about it, I think I have even managed to create a few new 'C' words in my time. Supprised the neighbours don't complain.
