All right so I've been playing on the 360 for about 3 weeks and I'm going to be in this FFA tournament on saturday. They are using regular xboxs and I'm kinda worried that going from my 360 to an xbox will cause me to play under my ability. And all the games are going to be played with BRs on midship so if anyone has killer tactics or some plain old advice that would be great. Thanks!


Also looking for people to practice with me this week.

Ok here are some tips for Midship:

1. If theres a sword, dont go for it!!! You will get owned!
2. Dont use the air lifts. Theyre just waiting for you.
3. Control the top bunkers
4. The easiest way to stick people on midship is when you have top bunker and theyre coming up the ramp, so use nades wisely
5. Practice on Midship before the tournament with people BETTER than you. Trust me, playing with better people makes you way better.
6. If youre good w/ button combos use them because many MLG rely on them.

Well it's only human weapons on map so I won't have to worry about sword. But thanks for the advice I'll try practicing all this week with people better than I am. I can bxr and bxb fairly well and I can sometimes double shoot. I don't use it much though so it won't really help me. But thanks again.

lol... I've only been playing since July. And I can usually beat people lvl 30 and below with a little difficulty. And I live in a smaller city so I think I'll do pretty well in the tournament.

Personally i think tournaments are pretty pointless. Back when i was a 45 i played in a few and they really didnt get me anywhere. But for the transition from 360 to xbox shouldnt be to bad if you grew up on an xbox like me, i started playing halo 2 on a regular xbox about 2 years and atleast 4,000 games later i switched to a 360 which ive been playing on for about 1 1/2 years which was a tough transition but its now a lot better. I usually dont have a problem playing on a regular at a friends house, but dont make a habit of it because it will screw you up coming back to a 360 because of the look sensitivities are different. I would deffinately practice human weapons on Lockout and Midship. Also i would recommend playing custom games a lot (Rumble) not Team because its a lot faster paced and better practice. Get your BR right and should be good.

Well playing on a regular Xbox is much easier with a standard S controller. Shouldn't be a problem at all.

There is no sword on Midship FFA..
You don't have to rely on button glitches at all..
