Ok so um, I've decided to do a "quest" on completing legendary on all 3 games because i always play on normal. Any legendary veterans have any tips?

learn how to use cover. And how to make good use of grenades. Perfect throws are crucial to success in tight spots. Also for 2 & 3 master jumping over those pesky brutes once they start beserking

Legendary is not that hard once you have played online and get good you will be fine. You may die a few times if Normal was challenging for you, but  you should get use to Legendary. You die a lot quicker so be smart when attacking and don't charge in, cause it is a good way to die. Just try to get a BR and make use of stickies on Hunters and Brutes.


The Flood levels will be annoying, but you should be fine

Don't suck...Some people are good at FPS' while others suck no matter how hard you try.  A n00b can be aimed for a headshot, but you can't make him pull the trigger.

^_^ I agree with this

and if your working with others in a co-op, make sure they dont suck, cause if THEY die, you have to start all over too :D

Some other tips I can give you that you might already know by now are;

Make sure you take cover when needed, dont RUSH through a level, cause thats how you get killed. When dealing with the flood in Halo 3, What I did, when I was face to face with one or two of them, I would simply bash at them. Hit them a couple of times and they'll go down. Dont rely on the alien weapons, cause... honestly... they kinda suck against the flood. Also when against the flood, make sure you have grenades, and at least ONE heavy weapon such as a rocket launcher, or shotgun.  When dealing with the exploding flood, throw a plasma grenade on them, when it blows up, it will kill all those little buggers inside of them ^_^ Also when dealing with the flood, dont rely on that damn hammer, you WILL die. 

um.... did I say dont rush? lol

I have yet to pass the game on legendary, but I did beat the last couple of levels on it! lol but yeah, thats all I got xD good luck!

Play co-op. If you get to a section particularly tough, have one player hang back and send the other in on rapid suicide runs to kill as many enemies as he can before he dies.

Once he does die, the player that hanged back (since there's no enemies around) lets him respawn and start it over again.

Seriously, it let me get through Cortana and a few other levels MUCH easier. Also, if you need more ammo have one co-op player kill the other and when he respawns he'll have full ammo again.

but if they die while on legendary, then EVERYONE has to start over again. It goes back to a check up point o_O

that's happened to me on one level. I was playing with three other ppl, and as soon as one died.... we had do go back to the check point -_-

Strange, that's never happened to me. Maybe it was because you were playing the online co-op mode? I played local co-op.

Just practice...That's all there is to it.  Some people are naturally good and others need a lot and a lot of practice.....And others just are mediocre no matter how hard they try.

For Halo 3, you definitely need to play it with some friends. It's not only a lot easier that way but a lot more enjoyable as well. I'm not sure about the other two, because I haven't attempted it on those.
