Ya, stealth is my big. I love acting covertly, it's always a pleasure when your right next to the enemy's flag without them knowing. You call in for pelican evac, grab the flag and get the hell out of there. It's perfect.

my tactic is usually fight or flight

like i always look fer a fight and pick a fight with others but when i see that i dont have the upper hand, then i will choose to run away and set my target on another guy.

I try to get kills to my liking, it makes me die sometimes for no reason. But it makes me happy in the inside lol

"Do you think it's because we're awesome? I think it's because we're awesome."

"Man, you're camping my only spawn point? Who made this "Infection" gametype? I'm like a fricken ant someone threw into a spider farm! Except one of the spiders has a tank!"

it depends on the competitor. sometimes ill use nades, distractions, or just a pistol.

PP + Pistol = easy Kill
AR + PP = easy kill
AR + PR = for droping shields and killing players faster

Needlers. A rare and hard kill, but completely worth it. Nothing beats the pink death...

I love to go pistol sniping, like in the gouged out spot to the side of bleu base. Then pick off the blues sniper, they never know what hit them. Stealth is my way, I also like to change my armour in FFA depending on the level, brown in BG, Cyan in Sidewinder, etc...

I also liek to stand right over doorways in Custom Edition in the CMT maps, and then stick someone and have them go "WTF", or stab them in there face for a 1hk melee anywhere on them. I <3 CMT maps.

in pubs people just run in the center and fire at other objects that seem to firing. It's so entertaining to just stroll right into an enemy base not firing, grab the flag, and then randomly hide in their base until it's safe.

Other things I do a lot is tele-meleeing which works on a ton of maw people surprisingly, and i'm also good at running into places and spamming grenades to kill important targets.

I love the fact that when you grab a flah, people instantly thing, "oMfG! tHere ruNNin' to tHer BaSE!," When in reality, your right under their noses. I ALWAYS do that.

This is Halo, not a Tom Clancy game. Stealth, although nice, is not necessary if you can just go up to your opponent and shoot them in the head.

However, it's always important to play differently and to play in ways your opponent would never expect. That gives you an element of surprise--not necessarily stealth, but something you can use to your advantage just as well.

I'm the kind of guy who keeps some techniques to him self, I got many others that I've found very useful.

I throw a nade before engaging the target. It does either one of two things. Drops there shields so I can finish quickly with a pistol or gets them moving in a steady line away from the nade making them an easier target.

That's why you were kicking my ass today...

Any way on topic I try to stealth in pubs, because hardley any one is smart enough to figure out where you are but against pros well that's a diifferent story involving lots of humping my body....

This is why it's important to zig-zag away from grenades. I've killed many people with Iggv's technique, and been killed by it many times as well. Of course, it's best to throw a grenade at someone from behind before firing, which maximises your damaged in the first few seconds.

I've hidden in the enemies base in Death Island with their flag for an entire game - I actually went and made dinner and came back, and they hadn't found me. It was very amusing.

To avoid being tele-melee'd to death, walk through the teleport backwards, and open fire immediately. You may get a rifle-butt to the face, but it's better than getting one to the back. If they're camping the tele with heavies, use grenades immediately you walk through - I've managed to kill several rodders like that without dying.

I usally Guessing & Chaos tactic. I dont SightJack people or...really even know how to...But by what the gametype is, by what they have done before, and by where they are. I then guess on what they will do and then lay a trap. Chaos is my best friend, ive gotten a "killtacualr" with only 2 plasma grenades and confusion. So i just sit it out for a little while and just throw in some bombs and jump in and out of the fight, then run away or get the prize.

Of coarse i use stealh alot but i dont consider that a tactic so much as a skill.
I go for Long-range and Short-Range combat. Im an unofficial Anti-Sniper/Defense speaclist.
And the nade tactic works REALLY WELL. It usally does drop the shields and the AR them to death. Its my main combat move.

"KNOWLEDGE IS POWER(and so is the motion tracker, traps, ambushes, power-ups, and chaos)so actually use it for once!"

My tactic is lead in 3 shots to the head with a pistol. Or if they are close, I do the double melle glitch. I do my share of sniping too, if I have a snipa on me.

  • 04.28.2007 9:08 AM PDT

Slaying noobs since 2007.

It depends on who I am playing against. If they are better than I am usually I run around shooting them until they die or I die. (most of the time don't play with some one better than I am!) lol
If they are worse than I am I procced to kick their -blam!-, with gun and grenade.

Reality is just a crutch for people who can't cope with drugs.

I usually just walk to the other base while killing people, eventually get killed, rinse, repeat.
