Non facete nobis calcitrare vestrum perinæum.

Picture this. You're running along, minding your own biusness, and all of a sudden you start getting shot from behind. And by the time you turn around, you're dead before you can fight back. This happens to me at least 7-10 times a match. Is there any strategy to get around this or am I screwed?

Surround sound might help. Watch your radar. Keep your head on a swivel. Throw grenades while backpeddling.

FYI
my sensitivity is 10, I've had this game since the day it came out (I've only had live for about 2 months) and I usualy keep an eye on the motion tracker, so you can see why I'm so frustrared.

Your sensitivity isn't really the most important thing here. Actually, if anything, a sensitivity that high is just going to mess you up. If you're new to the game, I would recommend a sensitivity of about 3, maybe 4.

The most important thing is probably what iam117 said... know how to watch your back. Waiting until you're being attacked isn't going to help you out much. And have better teamwork too. Having a teammate or two to let you know if someone is coming up behind you is a great way to help prevent a lot of deaths.

As you're running turn around everyonce in a while. Also, someone else already said it, stay near cover so as to avoid a line of sight to the enemy.

most of the time its not the controller. just watch your back and keep your situational awareness at a high level while playing.

It's all about learning where people normally go. If you're getting dual smg's your best bet is to try to turn around in time and stick them in the face. Atleast that way you get a kill out of it. Nothin you can do... but learn to check behind you more often. You get used to doing it on a regular basis in no time.

When you are getting shot from behind just try to swivel around behind the nearest cover. (don't forget to watch out for grenades after turning around the corner.

As soon as you start getting attacked from behind... stop, immediately walk backwards and jump.

If there is someone right on your tail you can get the jump on them from the air.

Won't work all the time but when it does it's sweet!

Watch your back! You really do not need a high sensitivity. If you ever seen me play, I am constantly turning around and turning back, and I rarely get assassinated. If someone is behind you, try to bounce grenades off walls, I have saved myself so many times from doing this.

DONT EVER STOP while being chased, jump, and turn while in air...takes a lil getting used to but a handy tool, once turned around, dont run backwards, RUSH TOWARDS THE PERSON, NOT BACK!! They will not know what hit them... TRUST ME...i own, but havent played in forever due to not being able to download the Blastacular maps :'(

Wort Wort Wort?

wait till halo 3 then carry a bubble shield

  • 06.19.2007 4:58 PM PDT

Take me 1v1 and ill pooooop on you

1) Get a Team so they can watch your back or call things out

2) Watch Your Radar!!!!

3) Crouch Jump so they can't hit your head as much and your shield wont drop as fast
