Subject: How do u actully get better at halo2?

Check out the Postgame Carnage Report! The uncensored, NSFW Halo fan podcast!

Getting owned, and paying attention to what works and what doesn't. Also playing with helpful gamers that will offer real advice on perfecting your game helps.

Even the best players get schooled. But practice and having receptive people on your friends list helps too. They'll need to be patient, and willing to help you improve.

If you see someone do something cool, ask how they do it. Also some weapons require more practice than others
(like the Brute shot). Play an arranged game by yourself or with your friends and practice weapon tactics, throwing grenades, etc.

Ok. Learn to BR and stafe while you do it. The BR is 4 shot kill, if it takes you more than that your not the best you can be yet. Also, RRX, double shotting, they call it cheating but i think that's stupid. The put it in the game didn't they? Anyways, learn to double shot good and you will be set. Sniper is good weapon to learn how to use but it won't matter all that much because you can always let someone else take the sniper.

Want to play with me?

Lol Walshy16 nice THC record. I find that smoking marijuana helps. And when you play other games and get good at them, certain H2 skills get better...


Smokin' Trees definitely helps.....FOCUS ENHANCEMENT!!

What I do is I play a lot 3-4 hours a day. I also play with pros(41's ect) I see how they play and then borrow the techniques. I've also been playing for a few years. Only way to get better is to play with better people or against. And dont forget Practice makes Perfect!

"Just because i dont play halo 24 hours a day, 7 days a week dosent mean i dont have a say on this issue!!! My 48 kill with a BR are legit. Now if i only had maybe 2 kills with it, then you can say something, but 48 means i think i kinda know how a BR works."

~~~~ LOL at Bungie kids that know nothing.

1. Recognize your mistakes!
2. Learn from your mistakes!!
3. Stop making mistakes!!!


This is the best advice ever given. Recognize your mistakes and don't blame it on lag.

Also something that hasn't been mentioned yet, to be good you have to want it, you have to think. Halo 2 is not just about skill, your BR 4 shot could be godly but if you position yourself badly you will get smoked. Learn and be smart and think before you do something. Its not all about accuracy and the "BR God Trigger Finger"!!

I just play it a lot and train in the training optimatch playlist since they are not ranked. Also, I play Halo 2 Campaign a lot on Legendary...Also on games, people will get mad if you do things like the PP/BR combo, but really, no one gives a -blam-! they might even do it themselves. Try camping in random hidden spots. Sometimes it works!

If you want my advice, play Library on Lengendary. Yes it's Halo 1, but really, it's not that diferant than the online matches played, and from what I hear, people who play'd that generally owned on all FPS games they've played, not just halo. Also, learn to aim, the PP/BR combo is powerful, if you can strike the head, the charged shot doesn't stun, so the second he hears the PP, he's darting for the corner before it even strikes him. I was in a game and some guy tried doing that to me, and every time, I managed to live and counter attack him, all because he couldn't hit my head.

Don't ever pay for lessons. And don't ever worry about MLG please it's an organization that is stupid I believe wrecks halo 2 for me :\. Just keep playing matchmaking and move your sensitivity up one or two every once an while you'll get good.

Estne volumen in toga an solum tibi libet me videre?

Nothing suits me like a suit.

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

team swat. helps aim and how to shoot first. also how to get a headshot

Play FFA, Snipers and THC(Try to play THC with a team) with good people. Learn callouts and strats.... I would have also recommended BTB to work on your teamwork and strat and RP for FFA practice but now all you will see in those lists are bad people and guests :/

Seriously, just play more man, it takes time, even for most of the better people around.
Keep playing, keep experimenting, you'll learn with time.

the way i play to try and get better is i get 2 other people and its 2v1 and after the round the person on the side with 2 he/she becomes the one it really helps when your out numbered because you get a lot better even if you get crushed but if you play against people who suck you wont get much better where if you are playing against a harder opponent

There's really only one way to get better and that is...

1. Recognize your mistakes!
2. Learn from your mistakes!!
3. Stop making mistakes!!!


The really skilled players learn from others mistakes!
The really unskilled players doesn't even recognize their own mistakes!



That says it all right there!!!!!!! How many of us have been in MM on ivory tower and one after another our whole team runs into the hallway only to be sniped because somehow they think the 2-3 people before them were noobs and they would get that sniper by god!!!! can we say all speed and no control

Practice with people better then you. Try to host MLG FFA customs they bring in a lot of high skill people to watch/practice against. And follow the motto:

Good, better, best
Never let it rest
Until your goods better then your best
