Blood XIII Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 I had the most trouble with Pillar Of Autumn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickySlaughter Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Personally, the top two hardest in my opinion were The Pillar of Autumn and Long Night of Solace. Both became easy as hell though once you found the right approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManCowBear Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I played through the game on Legendary my first play through and the level that took me the most time was the second half(in side the Covenant ship) of Long Night of Solace but everything else was not to difficult.

niko da bos Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 for me it was pillar, but i credit that more-so to my procrastination than the games difficulty. i was stuck at the very last part of the game for almost a month, everytime i tried to use those AA gun my spartan would get raped. so i just gave up for a while, and labelled it as "rigged ass impossible shit" most of the others can be brushed thru, either with plasma pistol or a speed-run. but on that last level, the last 2 minutes of gameplay took way too long, i just hate being stuck with nowhere to go. cant stand those sections of games where they sit you on a turret, and expect you to magically dodge bullets.

Same here. Though if I would've known about the Pelican turret glitch that would've made it WAY easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmona Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Long Night of Solace is a close second to the end of Pillar of Autumn...god all mighty those Elites were brutal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiyo Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 Long Night of Solace, too many Elites for my tricks to work effectively and gave me too many deaths. The boss fight with the Field Marshall and the Cannon part of the end of Pillar of Autumn as 2nd. Exodus comes as 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenpunk18 Posted July 19, 2011 Share Posted July 19, 2011 I think they all are but I found long night of solace to be but i would say the achievement would be keeping the scorpian intact, took me a few hours but got there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CIF Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 (edited) The boss fight with the Field Marshall and the Cannon part of the end of Pillar of Autumn as 2nd. Screw the Elites - BRUTES are what suck in this game on Legendary. Plasma Pistol + DMR will get you through Elites, and you can kill Grunts, Jackals and Skirmishers with one or two well placed DMR shots, but Brutes take different tactics if in a group. That said, I agree with the level choice. Pillar of Autumn is pretty long, and it throws everything at you. I haven't played the first two on Legendary, and I don't think I want too. Two levels of Flood in Halo 3 was awful enough (and Jackal snipers on the first level). Imo, the last level of ODST was probably worse than anything in this. Buck is my favorite character in the whole series, but damn.... "there's a Banshee....there's a Banshee....shoot, SHOOT SHOOT WHAT THE HELL? I WISH THE AI COULD DRIVE" Edited July 21, 2011 by CIF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty-Rex Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Brutes take different tactics if in a group. Super-combine those fools. They have so little self preservation on Legendary with no skulls on that they only will ever use Armor Lock to stop you. Just wait for them to pop out and you can unload on them easily. You can also wait for them to throw a grenade and they won't move at all while you shoot them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I help people with it all the time because I know where to pop in and out. It's easy once you know the route. But I agree, might be a tad bit hard on solo Legendary.

For some reason, they can all take a Fuel Rod to the face and survive. Anything's better than Hammer-wielding chieftains with Invincibility though.

But I agree, might be a tad bit hard on solo Legendary. Indeed, you just need to know what is coming. I did this one a few days ago on my legendary solo attempt. If you get out of the tank to take down the turrets with the DMR it's not so difficult. Also, the two things you are supposed to distroy you can take down from a distance.

Kaiyo Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Brutes are easy when you pump them with needles and super-combine those dirty gorillas or give them headshots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I diied once or twice at the most. Im on LNoS right now, and it is a pain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5Alive Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Nightfall, what a piece of s***. The sniper and pistol do not justify the horde of enemies and lack of cover. I always like to play it safe, and when sniping it's damn near impossible to get en elite. The second the aiming reticle turns red the elite moves not only making head shots difficult but when they move behind cover (and I manage to get at least one shot away) they move and their shield recharges. I like the idea of a speed run, but I don't want to memorize the whole route/timing but I KNOW doing this legit is going to be a pain. At least I'll get some commendation progress done...

Tim1601 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I didn't really spend too much time on each level for anything to stand out and decide which was the hardest. Nightfall got kind of difficult after Jun disappeared half-way in and I had to go through the rest without a sentient aimbot running around to help. I was amazed how he managed to plant the charge without being there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CIF Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Just redid Long Night of Solace today/yesterday - not that bad. I died more times in the Sabre than anywhere else - having a shotgun, Rocket Launcher and drop shield for dropping into the Zealot map area really helps. Gotta love walking into the Corvette control room in full view of everyone, whacking the Elite at the controls in the back and then assassinating the General right after he does the "battle cry" or whatever.

Coadster1 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Long Night of Solstice was long and it had it's parts. But I had such a struggle with the end of The Pillar of Autumn, when you have to get on that gun after Emile dies. There's so many Elites to defeat, it drove me crazy! Finally managed to do it, somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnout x360a Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 From what I got up to, the most annoying part was after you board the ship in Long Night of Solace. I ended up getting lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxler Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I think Long Night of Solace is a biatch! I only have a couple left, but I can't complete this one D': Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly why I hated Nightfall as well. Too many enemies all coming at you at once and if your s*** with the sniper rifle then your screwed for most of the level. I don't even bother with this one anymore unless I'm playing co-op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
