First, great job Hikaru. Second, you missed some spots. Like, leading. Leading can be invaluable to a sniper who's target is in a vehicle. With uncalcuable worth in CTF. Leading is where you determine where your target is going to be, then you shoot that spot BEFORE he reaches the spot. It is a mix of distance, his speed, his direction, and of course, where he currently is.
On the other hand, for those rookies out there that still think that frags are better than plasma grenades. Here is a guide that I have been planning to post before this topic came around.
<Halo: Combat Evolved: The Idiot's Guide to Plasma Grenades>
PART 1
Frags VS. Plasma Grenades
Yes, I aknowledge (is that how you spell it?) that frags have quite a few uses, but the thing is, plasma's have more. Not to mention that it's more entertaining to listen to someone who thought that they have you cold and just had a big old blue thing attatch to his face, obstructing his view, and got killed instead of killing. You'll get literaly millions of different responses to that and the other hilarious ways of killing someone with plasma grenades, than just the same old: "What the -blam!-!?" when they get bown up unexpectedly. Their plentifulness and fun of attatching them to grunts carries over to multiplayer, while frags are limited and aren't that fun in single player.
I'm NOT going Down, But You Are!
One of the most hilarious ways I utilize plasma grenades is that when some dumbass with a shotgun tries to sneak up on me while I'm sniping, I pretend I don't notice him. Then, when he gets within 10 feet of me(an estimate) I turn around and stick a plasma grenade and use my ghost to escape. They never see it coming. Very funny too.
If I'm going down, I'm Taking You With Me!!!!
When I get into a close range firefight, and I see that I'm gonna die, I always stick a plasma grenade to him. One of the best, most effective, and very annoying Anti-Son-Of-A-BlTCH tactics I use, once mastered, will take your kill-to-death ratings pretty high. Because, when you throw the grenade at the right time, it will kill the other guy before he kills you. But, it's very hilarious when you do die, and then the grenade explodes. He usually hits me in the arm and calls me a "damn mother -blam!-er", very entertaining. Master this, and you will not feel you wasted your time.
Sniping with Grenades
This is why I put this in Hikaru's Sniping guide. When you are aiming at a close target that doesn't know you are there, zoom in and fix on a stationary position. Then, fix your aim so that it's so that when you throw your grenade, it'll hit him. A hard to master tactic, it's basically leading a stationary target, with a few modifications. It's a very good way to conserve valuable sniper rounds. It's a mix of his position, your distance, and your ability to throw the grenade. I recomend that for practice, you use... (*gasp* yes ladies and gentlemen, a use for FRAGS in a plasma grenade guide) frag grenades. It's harder to see if it misses him, and a shorter fuse so there's less time for him to run away if he spots it.
Well, that concludes PART 1 of Vasheeth's Plasma Grenade Guide. Next time, it might be in a new thread, depending whether or not it has something to do with sniping. Goodnight.
