Sounds like sound strategy.
Personally, I can't get past the first level on legendary. I have beat the game on heroic, but it was in co-op mode.
There are a few really good FAQs at
GameFAQs.com.
I've seen people speak highly of
tomrace and his FAQ on the boards there. Here's what he has to say about where you're at...
Quote:
With the ruins and dock cleared, you can gather weapons and ammo for your
next gondola ride. Take a rocket launcher and a sniper rifle, for sure.
As on your last gondola trip, you will have a close encounter half way across
the lake. This time Banshees will try to strafe your ship to distract you
from the gondola attack. Scan the skies and spot the Banshees as soon as
possible. Take each of them out quickly with two homing rockets (there is
another rocket launcher on the gondola in a canister if you need it). Time
is short because of the gondola attack, soon to come.
This time the enemy gondola will launch two flying Elites to make your life
miserable, but don't be distracted - you have bigger problems. Two Grunts
are armed with Fuel Rod guns, which will rubberize your body if launched.
Position yourself on the bottom deck, far forward, against the wall farthest
away from the enemy gondola. Zoom once (5X) with your sniper rifle and aim
at the upper rail of the enemy gondola as it pulls up next to you. When you
see a red Grunt, shoot the moving target, preferably in the head. Then do it
again when the next red uniform appears. If you miss either of these
targets, you'll be treated to an extraordinary explosion scene, as their Fuel
Rod shots explode.
Now, what about those flying Elites? In your position on the bottom deck,
they may not be able to find you. If that happens, you're in luck. Just sit
there for a minute and the gondola will start up again. The Elites will fly
away, showing up later at the destination side-by-side with their backs
turned. Shoot one in the back with a rocket to kill them both.
If they do find you, don't bother trying to shoot them - it's suicide. Just
keep trying to hide until the gondola starts up.
