When playing on legendary the best weapons for you to use would be a plasma pistol and and any other single shot weapons like the DMR,MAGNUM PISTOL or NEEDLE RIFLE. This is very effective on elites. All you have to do is charge up your plasma pistol shoot the elite, when it hits him it takes away his enegy shield then switch to your DMR etc.. and aim for its head if u hit his head and shoot takes 1 to 2 shots to kill.

Claude Errera Easter Egg
Entry Location:
In level 8 there is a place you have to go to called club Errera. In the Halo 3 credits (which are also in the game booklet) under "extra special thanks" there is a person named Claude Errera spelled exactly the same as the place in the game. I think the location was named after them.

Easiest Way to Gain Credits
Entry Location:
Xbox Live Matchmaking
You will need Xbox Live to perform this trick. First, enter the playlist "score attack" from the cooperative matchmaking subsection. This playlist can only be used by one person at a time (parties of more than one will not be allowed in). Once you have come to the loading screen where you are allowed to vote on a game, choose the one that has a game type of "gruntpocalypse". If you complete the objective, which is fairly easy to complete, you will earn an average of 1500-2000 credits a match.

The person in edit mode will go to the item options and go to the delete all icon but don't click. the person with the armor lock will activate and hold until the person in edit mode presses delete all. Then you are invulnerable until an enemy assassinates you. Fiendly fire won't take it away.

During Mission 7, once you get to the Club Errera part of the mission, head back to the hospital. Fly to a ledge below the usual entrance. When you get out you should see a green light switch. Once found, activate it and go back to Club Errera. The song "Never Surrender" will be playing. If you return to the dance club after you clear it out (Hunters included) then a Brute DJ will be spinning records, a Brute tends the bar and Grunts dance.
If you want to change the music again, go back to your Falcon and fly to the roof of Club Errera. Activate the switch on the roof under the vent and the song "Siege of Madrigal" will now be playing in the club.
