I'm relatively new to online Halo2. I can't believe how badly I suck! How long did it take you to become proficient at head shots and online play? And are there are places where I can get some good tips. I've tried Googling but most of the results seems to come up with tips that are frowned on by most players (e.g. the plasma / rifle combo).

Ill play with you when i can get on.

And it took me about 1-2 months to get DECENT at the game, about 5 months to be RELLLY good.

It...meh. I'd played Halo 2 at friends' houses for a long time - probably about six months - before I bought the game, so I was already pretty much good enough to hold my own in Matchmaking by the time I did buy my own copy.

Having Live helped a lot - I definitely improved by playing other people online. Customs also helped a little, because that was mostly where I learned the importance of being able to use any weapon that's available. If you can devote the time, I'd also suggest playing through Campaign; there's some good encounters in there that help to improve your skills with certain weapons and in certain situations.

Cheers! I'll add you. This is my first taste of online play and I'm amazed at how tough it is - tough but addictive!
