Stuck on the level Cortana on Legendary

I am in need of some halpz here. I've been trying to beat Halo 3 on Legendary, but Cortana is giving me a run for my money. I'm stuck at the part when Cortana says "Don't look at me... don't listen!" right after the room with the Cortana terminal. I have two energy swords, 3 Plasma Rifles, and a Carbine lying around. The ranged forms aren't really that hard to defeat: Just a few bursts with the plasma rifles. But after I kill most of them, a big squad of combat forms run in and start killing me. What do I do?

Play dead.

It works better than you think. Combat forms ignore you for the most part, but you have to deal with those pesky infection forms.

I just drew each combat form and killed them one by one until it was clear enough to move.

I just ran through the level

cortana is such a baaaaaad level

Submit to the Gravemind. You will join a chorus that sings victory everlasting.

grab a sword, hammer, or shotgun and do not stop between objectives

That's what I've been trying to do. In this area, though, the Ranged forms are already there and the Elite Combat forms take 3-4 sword hits to kill.

I've never left an enemy behind in a game that was not on rails in my entire career of gaming.

Noc, kill em all.

This.

Leave no survivors.

Nuke the site from orbit?

But then I guess you wouldn't be sure if you got them all.

Kill them with fire

Seriously the only thing moving by the time you are done should be the enemy's dismembered limbs. Anything more and you have failed.

What Would Tex Do?

More importantly, What Would Demarest Do?

then you've never played a flood level in a halo game.... they do not stop spawning until you are through the area... if you try to kill them all you will never get out of the first room

No they always stop.



Only thing i've seen on infinite is 1 little infection form come every now and then.

then you've never played on legendary

I've beat all three games on legendary

Perhaps you just give up to early?

Ahem... Nutron Purge

On Topic: Explosions+Shotgun/Sword/Hammer=Purge

also, did you try reasoning with them? or a Brute shot?

I think I'll just restart it an run through like a pussy.

They don't stop re-spawning in Alien Swarm :\
I guess pheonix has never played that

I have not

Burn 'em with both flamethrowers.
