Now the stategy:
Spoiler
■Step 1: Clear camp up of enemies up to the location where the suicidal NCR troopers spawn.
■Step 2 (op): Tell allies to wait by the far cliff side, under an enemy spawn location. This will help draw fire away from you and if you have 2 allies they should survive.
■Step 3 (op): Kill the NCR commander for his hunting revolver. His sacrifice will not be in vain as this is an extremely useful gun for the long distance fighting that is going to come.
■Step 4: Get rid of ALL guns within the world-space. This meens searching EVERY container for a gun and its ammo. You can give the guns and ammo to your friends or keep it.
■Step 5: Pass though the gates and have the suicidal rangers spawn. Keep a slight distance behind them.
■Step 6: Have Legate begin combat with them. Run as fast as you can up the hill to prevent the speech prompt.
■Step 7 (op): Kill and hostile enemies left at this point.
■Step 8: Prepare for the fight and talk to Legate so you can gain additional exp (not that it matters), or sneak attack him with your strongest gun.
■Step 9: Very quickly, jump down the rock face down onto a sub cliff. From this location melee based enemies cannot harm you.
■Step 10: Pull out the Hunting Revolver and prioritize targets. Shoot only enemies with Marksman Carbines, otherwise they will wreck your [censored].
■Step 11: Once they are all dealt with, attack only the Legate.
■Step 12 (op): For a better view, sit on the metal fence and snipe him.
■Step 13 (op): Drop a very weak gun and 1 shot from it hopefully Legate will come out and pick it up. He is a rather bad shot and tends to stay close to the cliff, allowing easy shots. Just make sure you destroy the gun when your done.
■Step 14 (op): Frequently jump down from the sub cliff (make sure its the side near where the suicidal troopers start) and stand on the ground for about as long as you feal safe as, the enemies will chase after you. Once you are ready to retreat climb up the sub cliff (there is a bit of a dirt path and a few iron gurders jutting out) and move to the other side of the medium sized rock in the middle of the rocky cliff face. Once on the other side the enemies will hold position, recalculating a method of attack. This gives a good shotting opportunity.
■Step 15: Eventually kill Legate (I had to kill him with my 9mm pistol in the end, ironic as it was my first gun I had in the game).
■Step 16 (op): Jump down the sub-cliff and pick up the Blade of the East.
■Step 17 (op): Massacre the last legions with the Blade (while running backwards) in the main courtyard.
■Step 18: Return to the front gate, and beat the game.
■Step 2 (op): Tell allies to wait by the far cliff side, under an enemy spawn location. This will help draw fire away from you and if you have 2 allies they should survive.

Hope that helps some people having trouble. And if you already beat him, how did you do it?
