Finished Halo 4 solo on Legendary tonight...
Those Prometheans were a PAIN on occasion! Best weapons against them were the Binary Rifle and the Incineration Cannon, the latter being a 1-shot weapon whereas the Binary took a minimum of 2 or 3 hits. I have a great deal of respect for the Autosentry now--use it and it's like having another player with you, only with no communication. It helped me to conserve Lightrifle ammo a bunch of times on the last mission; it increases the damage on them considerably if you connect your shots correctly. Boltshot was a robo-dog killer for me most of the time; Scattershot is murderous on Heroic or lower; Legendary it took at least 4 point-blank shots to data purge a Promethean Knight.
Sticky detonator was a lot of fun, but it's too bad I didn't get a chance to use it on a Promethean! Anyone else out there dislike the drones? Hated having to plow through those and use up my ammo.
congrats. Not sure I'll ever tackle this. The enemies in H4 seem like bullet sponges which isn't fun for me.
Overall, Legendary was not too bad. Yes, there are a few rage-inducing spots, but patience is the key.
Take what he said to heart though about using the Auto Sentry- not only does it do damage, but it's a nice distraction.
Also, the Needler is your friend and will take out the strongest Elites fast (the Knights are a little harder to supercombine). I preferred to take out the Knights with whatever CQC weapon I had available - Scattershot and Supressor worked well, but take out all of the other baddies before trying for the Knights, especially the Watchers.
Congrats!!
I just finished too. I thought the story was great but the gameplay was spotty -- sometimes good sometimes uninspired. This one felt a little too easy to me. Most of my deaths came from rushing or being stupid. They should have cranked it up a bit.
As for Knights, here are some formulas that worked for me: Standard methods: autosentry plus a light rifle/BR/DMR/Carbine. Quickest: needler, rail gun, incinerator cannon, binary rifle, fuel rod cannon. In a pinch, nades work well (they often walk right over them) and overcharged PP helps a lot, and scattershot is great too. But heck you can even kill them with the suppressor if you have to (as long as they aren't carrying a binary or an incinerator.) I also assassinated at least one. Always kill the "helicopter" thingies first.
