Campaign Legendary

I’m getting my -Yoink- kicked playing this on Legendary. Saw some threads where folks thought this was easy. Really? I gotta throw a B.S. flag on that. I’m dying no matter what strategy I impose. Anyone else think Legendary is up to PAR?

With every Halo game I do a Legendary No Deaths playthrough (and not skipping sections). And I have to say Halo 5 is up there in terms of difficulty. Not quite Halo 2 difficult… but up there.

It’s not easy, it is Legendary. You’ll get the hang of it.

I agree. I’m saying it IS Legendary. When i saw old threads say they got through this easy, I wanna know how? 'Cuz to me, it’s legit.

its alot easier when you have a partner. soloing it is pretty freaking hard

You were right to call B.S. Some of it is.

Give your teammates power weapons or suppressors. Works great in killing enemies for u

That’s a good strategy Mr. Belgian. Lets see what happens next time I plug in…

Most of it you can grind through. But I struggled on the last level 3 wardens+turrents. If I didn’t read before to grab the power weapons for my team beofer going in I would have been screwed. Good Luck.

Thanks. I only got 2 missions left on legendary, and I find that commanding your fireteam really changes the tide. If they have suppressors, which has homing abilities, and then you command them to shoot 1 enemy, you become a pretty formidable fighting force. Good luck with your legendary run my friend.

You know how in earlier games you give the best weapons to the Marines so they spam them? Well now you have 3 AI following you around and you can tell them where to shoot.

Take Linda for example. Make her pick up a Hydra Launcher. No matter how stupid she is, she has two choices: Wreck with a Nornfang, or wreck with a Hydra Launcher. Win-win for you.

Honestly give them anything that’s surplus on the ground and you won’t need. Suppressors, BRs, Shotguns, anything. Better than a pew-pew Pistol that they’ll barely use.

I would skip the 3 warden sections with the man canon-thrust-ground pound thing. Also, use the light rifle zoomed in. It does a lot more damage. The weak spots for the warden are the head and back. Keep a plasma pistol and a light rifle with you and you’ll be fine.

skip the 3 wardens by hitting the grav lift and then thrusting towards the exit and maybe ground pound a bit if your short

Man cannon and thruster + ground pound is your friend on “The Breaking”.

Took me forever to figure it out on solo legendary.

I found it challenging, but still do-able. It definitely wasn’t as soul crushingly difficult as Halo 2 Legendary. Which is a good thing.

Yea Halo 5 legendary was something, and reading the forums I just discovered about being able to skip the 3 wardens in the breaking fml. I wish they couldve rewarded you something for completing it on legendary.

I’ve heard the H2 grind, and been through it. I felt like in that campaign…cripes…going waaaaaaaaay back. I learned a patience and appreciation for the game. But, in H2, I remember placing plasma grenades in a legit proximity to score some progress. Now, its pretty tight with the ‘team’ atmosphere. Landing a plasma grenade is luck. If you get close, their arsenal in back takes you out. Again, more props to the Legendary setting, but I’m thinking this game’s Legendary is pretty frickin’ tough. Maybe after hearing these posts, I gotta give my team weapons and see how it plays out. Again, I’m done playing for the day. Got rolled :slight_smile: thx for all the feedback.

That last section in the last mission took me a VERY long time!
