Tips
 

and dont spam nades when in open combat. leads to many deaths.

Lol, but tons of kill from graves *points to thousands of medals* lol im a noob at my neighbors house :)

Sometimes chucking nades isn't a bad idea... you just need to know when it is and isn't the right time lol.

ok your on guardian heading top mid you see two guys and you run in wasting your oppurtunity two get to easy shots on a nade that has a chance of missing leaving you in the open? thats my point lol

Some other useful tips are:

1. As pointed out above, know your nades (When and when not to use them.)
Save your grenades until you know you can use them effectively. for example, You spawn Gold 1 on guardian in a 1v1. Don't throw a nade into S2/S3 like most people do, think about it...There's two people on the map, you and your opponent. he could be anywhere, and nading will give out your position, surpirse is always a good tactic.

Prime example of when to use a nade:
Your S2 on Guardian, and the kid is rushing you from Elbow. You br battle, you missed a few shots so you run S3, waiting for your shields to try again, and he chases you. As you go S2, turn around and nade into the spot you were just at, 9.9/10 times the person will have ran there, and is now 1 shot/dead depending on if you used a frag or sticky.

2. Never play below 3 sensitivity, never higher than 6.

Reasons: Anything below 3, all the other person has to do is strafe and you're fucked. Trust me I used to play on 1-2 varying, and everytime someone strafed (Succesfully) I got out BRed. Reason being you can't really lead your shots because you can't keep up with their strafe. Any higher than 6 is bad as well, think about this...You are in a Br battle with an opponent. You're playing 7, he's on 4. His aiming is slower than yours, and therefore gives him the advantage in leading shots, etc. You're aiming is far mroe sensitive than his, sure, you may be used to it, but fact is he can focus less on controlling his movement and mroe on 4 shotting you.

3. If you find yourself in a fair fight, you suck.
Main thing to remember is, in Halo, there are no "dirty tricks" only strats. Nade into blue room before you go in, becvause since you did, he is 1 shot, or atleast weaker, thus giving you the advantage.


4. Don't ever try to win a BR battle with lowered shields.
You're in Greenbox on Pit, and your opponent nades in. It gets you 1 shot but you get your shields up some before he comes in. You're sheilds are 3/4 full, his are max. He wins. Don't assume he will miss a shot, which elads me to the alst point.

5. Always assume your opponent is amazing.
If you think your opponent is absolutely garbage, you don't try as hard (if you try at all) and most of the time, they aren't as garbage as you thought. If you always assume they are awesome and rape kids constantly, then you try to do well and usually do.

Just consider these when playing, and most importantly, THINK when you play, Halo is mroe strategy and thinking then it is skill.

The two main tips I'd give would be:

Strafe, and do it well.

Play smart. The difference between the top Xbox Live Warriors and your run of the mill players is that the majority of the time I will know what you're doing. I know where you'll go, where you'll run to. If I have time to watch people a bit i'll know what they'll do 90% of the time. This leads to easy nade kills and much more.

Ahhh Stephen your grammatical mistakes make me lol. But these tips are right, play smart, strafe, learn jumps, PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR AMMO, watch your radar, call out, TEAM BR, have a positive attitude, and last but not least if you are doing bad, don't try take be the slayer or objective it is MORE THAN FINE to play support. Everyone has bad games and support is just as important.

Meh, I wasn't paying attention.

I had to :p

All my games are bad games. :P
