aim for the head. the head is the weakest part of the body, so work in getting good at following a players head as he jumps and dodges and such.
get good with the battle rifle and the other weapons. the battle rifle is the most overpowered weapon in the game so if you get good with it, you will own, provided you aim at the head because 4 headshots from the br kills an opponent. get good at sniping and using the rockets and sword. with sniping it basically takes practice. contrary to popular belief, it is actually good to move around when sniping, except of course you are in the hot spots of the map. because if you kill a person from camping in a spot and do not move, that person will know you are there and come at you from a different angle to kill you.
another tactlic that i use when sniping is quickly looking over the map from where i can see it while not zoomed in, then if i see something moving i zoom in in that spot and snipe. with the rockets try jumping up and then shooting at the ground below the feet of the enemy. with the sword do not, i repeat DO NOT run around with the sword out all the time. doing so will only make your enemies back up and shoot you instead of running into you. the best thing to do with a sword is crouch walk around in close quarters or hide around corners, or if you are in a more open area, keep the sword as your secondary weapon, then if you are shooting someone, run closer to them, only to pull the sword out at the last second for a kill.
get good at knowing the hot spots of the map. knowing these only comes from experience, but once you know them, then always check in the hot spots for enemies.
using cover is key. never run with your back exposed to a large part of the map. what i do is run up against a wall while angleing outward to watch for enemies.
once you understand the map layout and get good with specific weapons, then you can work on choosing which weapons would work in what situation. so if you come upon a dilema where you have the choice of the sword, sniper and rocket launcher that you choose the best ones to fit you situation.
now for some teamwork:
-never hog both snipers, or multiple power weapons.
2 people with 1 power weapon is more efficient than 1 person with 2 power weapons. they are evenly distributed, and being used instead of one being inactive for a while.
-communicate with your teammates
if communication is key to a relationship, what does it do for halo? by communication i mean strickly buisness. no "chit chat". call out the enemies and if possible if they have a power weapon. if you find yourself with multiple power weapons, dont be afraid to ask if someone wants one.
-work together
it is called team slayer for a reason. 4 people working alone is not effiecient as 1 team of 4. coordinate attacks and stuff like that with your team
-stay near your team
dont try and over do it. dont charge into all 4 of the enemies by yourself because you will not be able to kill all 4 of them. instead, attack as a team. in addition, to find likely places where the enemy is, look around where your teammates are, and the enemy is most likely in the places where your teammates are not.
further thoughts
-if you cannot win a battle, retreat. as the saying goes, "live to fight another day". if you spawn with an smg and you try to take out someone with a br, dont. retrreat and crouch if you have to. too many times have i seen people die when they tried to finish a kill instead of retreating and letting thier sheilds regenerate. which reminds me, it is a good idea to get cover when your shields start beeping at you.
