he took me forever to kill. Needler the gak out of him every time his shield drops. It works, trust me.

I highly doubt that'll work on legendary. A needler eats its 90 needles pretty quickly, and it's a close to medium range weapon. Exactly where you don't want to be while around tartarus.

I think one thing that also helped me was a random elite with twin needlers who showed up and sat back unloading both of them incessantly into Tartarus' back. He got trapped in a stagger animation and couldn't move, all while right in the open where Johnson could snipe him. So while he was stuck there twitching from the constant needler blasts to the face I was able to shoot his ass dead.
TL;DR: Take advantage of Tartarus occasionally getting stuck lol

Thanks for the strategy. I'll finally be able to beat halo 2 on Legendary!!

Really?

Also, taking a sniper along works wonders.

A beam rifle only has 20 shots. He's alwas jumping around and the grav-hammer blast distracts me so I'll most likely miss when attempting a head shot.

His head is pretty huge:\ But yea, I think I've killed him with nearly every weapon available at that point.

I've never played a Halo game on heroic or lower setting after halo 1.

Nowadays I do this for all games (saves backtracking for achievements, hurr)

Yeah, I guess my skills are still at the Heroic level. I just wanted to see if I could beat the last level on legendary. I'm almost there though.

Well, he's pretty sluggish and easy to dodge (IMO) so shotgun to the face worked wonders for me too.

This I do not believe. Shotguns are absolutley crap against Brutes.

My favourite video game enemy has got to be flood from halo 3 because they are mental and there are millions of them on the mission cortana

Well, that depends.
The most hated enemy I can currently think of is the final boss of Street Fighter IV. By Gork, I hate that guy so much.

My favourite enemy to fight...I'd say the thugs in Batman Arkham Asylum. Everytime I saw them I was like "yay, more stupid goons to beat up while looking awesome".

And my favourite VILLIAN... well, Sephiroth, Bowser, Robotnik. There are a lot to choose from. But I think I'll go with this guy:

Shotgun to the face + instant melee attack is very effective against all non vehicle enemies in all halo games. (Hunters don't have faces so they don't count)

Well, the hunters orange skin can be considered their "head" especially in Halo: CE where a single magnum shot could kill them. It was damn easy to kill 'em. They're like dodos.

Haha yea, halo 1 hunters were easier then grunts, they didn't have plasma grenades xD

But seriously, if shotgun isn't working against something for you, your doing something wrong.

All you need in any halo game is shotgun(or equivelant) and a scoped weapon capable of headshots.

The Combinded from Half life 2 ... they are truly evil.

you mean the Combine? I love their silly little police dudes with the radios that go BEEEEEEEP when they die. Makes it sound like a heartbeat monitor flatlining

+1 Fawful. Gotta love the grammar fail.

Hate the snipers from Redsteel. When you think "those pistol wounds dont matter, i'll kill this guy then find cover", one would take you down from where you cant see them. with a body shot.

And the Omega pirate and Ghor from MP 1 and corruption. the phazon and fuel pools were sheerly annoying, and Omega seems impossible to kill (damn beam pirates)

Oh god the Omega Pirate. He was what forced me to abandon my attempts at beating MP1 on Hard. Between the random beam troopers showing up and Omega smacking the crap out of me, I would be dead before he was even at half health. I don't know how people did it.

Juggernauts from MW2, Metal Ridley from Zero mission, and a bunch of others I can't remember. Oh yeah, flood from halo 1.

Man thats an all time classic game for me. Too bad about the new 1 with those legal troubles on that 1 mech

My most hated video game enemy is the Geckos from MGS4. Especially when you're in south america in that market place and you need to find the chaff grenade to take htem out.

Hitler from Bionic Commando. You got one shot and when you hit him you got the greatest videogame animation of all time:

Gary Coleman from Postal 2.

Most hated Vidoe game enemy?
Me.
Any of the Gran Turismos, Project Gothams, WipeOut, Ace Combats...infact any game I try to beat my last time, scores or kill count.
But Gran Turismo 4 mostly sticks in my mind becouse I got so pi$$ed at the S licence final tests I twisted the pad in half!

I dont know if it actually counts as an enemy (as far as I'm concerned it does)

The cow from the beginning earthworm Jim...

I slogged my way through the entire original game, thinking nothing of the cow I innocently catapulted, then i finally get the princess and (SPOILER)

It lands on her and i get to restart the whole damn game.... That is my most hated enemy....

Haha, all hail that cow!

Finally returned to this thread, having decided on my favorite video game enemy:

The marines from AvP (2010) when you're playing as a Predator in the missions.

You can mimick their voices and send them places, you can sneak up behind them and silently (but bloodily) kill 'em, you can eviscerate them directly, you can throw pointy objects at them and they die, you can shoot 'em to bits with plasma.. and the list goes on.

They're just so damn killable!

Insane bots on DOW, you blink and they are in your base killing your dudes

This man speaks truth.. sad though it is.

Elites from Halo
