Always looking to help others out any way I can :). I also offer in-game help for free when I have the time. I wish this could be pinned or something so that more people can see it so that it can hopefully help as many people as possible.

Hey man, thanks so much for the info! It really helped.

I sent you a message on Xbox but am not sure if you got it, I was wondering if you could help me in-game. I really need some BR tips and grenade/map tricks to kill people. Your help would be greatly appreciated!

I am online on some weekdays and always on the weekends. Message me on Xbox if you can help.

Thanks!

YOU COPIED THIS. I'VE SEEN THIS SOMEWHERE BEFORE. I THINK ON MLGPRO.COM? Good tips though, except their not yours. Don't take credit for others' work, jerkbox.

Get the link in here for mlgpro and I will believe you. Also, no need to flame people trying to help out.

PS. I am a mlgpro regular and have not seen these tips there ever.

Very nice video and good tips! I find that there is a balance one must attain to in order to reach a 50 legitimately. You kept very well to that balance, knowing when to fight and when to flee is extremely important. :)

All I can say, is that I guarantee that every bit of this guide was created and wrote by myself, spelling/grammatical errors and all.

None of it was copy & pasted from another site. If any of you see this anywhere else, please let me know, so that I may have a word with them.

To validate this thread against others, take note that this thread was created March of 2008. Compare that to any of these other sites that may have it.

Besides that, my text completely fills up the allowed space for a text box (10,000 characters!), so I think that it would be kinda strange that I would copy something, and have it fit exactly into the allowed space.

It does make me feel good though, that I'm being confused with professional sites. Makes me feel like I'm doing a pretty good job :).

To all those looking for in-game help, keep in mind that I am not available for help every time I log in on MyTipsToReach50. Sometimes I'm just checking messages. Sometimes I have buddies over and need a spare account. Sometimes I just feel like spreading the word by playing random games. Please do not just join my party, or send me private chats. A simple message, asking if I'm available would suffice. From there, I can tell you what if I'm available or not. Do not take it personally. Sometimes I dont have enough time. Sometimes I just dont feel like it.

If you want help, send me a message with what you need help with specifically, be it a map, teamwork, weapon, callouts, general tips, secrets, grenade spots, or whatever. I do not have a pre-made instruction. I would sit there all day with you if I had to tell you everything. And let me know your current knowledge, and if you've read my tips or seen my videos. Then I can cut out the basic stuff. Nothing makes me feel more awkward than when I try to show you some cool grenade bounces, and you tell me that your already know them all.

This week, I'm going to be putting the finishing touches on episode 2 of "My Tips To Help You Reach 50!", and that is where I'll be spending most of this week and weekend.

That's all for now. Check out my upcoming site, where you'll be able to schedule meetings, and hopefully meet some people to help you out-

http://www.shadowstrike1online.webs.com

It's still a work in progress. Just finished the basic HTML and CSS. Bout to get to work on the PHP so that I can run my forum and guestbook.

Hey guys, recently got a PM asking about BR tips, and thought I'd share it with you guys-

As far as getting accurate with the BR, it's going to come down to practice. If you dont get much time to play, it will obviously take you longer to get used to.

Try lowering your look sensitivity down 1 notch (ex: from 5 to 4). Everything will go slower, and you'll be able to control your crosshairs more accurately. After you do this a while, you'll feel that your crossharis simply aren't keeping up with the speed you want them at, and you'll increase your look sensitivity back up.

When you are looking for the 4-shot, always play by these rules: 3 in the body, 1 in the head. Shooting someone in the head for the first three shots does the same amount of shield damage as it would for three shots in the body. The body offers a bigger target as well, so that more rounds of the 3-shot burst hit the target. Once you've gotten the 3 shots in, go for the head. Remember to slightly "swipe" your crosshairs across their head. The BR has a wide spread, so it's easier to sort of "fan" them with the last shot than it is to get a dead-on hit.

Remember, there are many factors that go into a BR battle, and being able to 4-shot is not the only one. A buddy of mine on my team is better than me with the BR. I know it, he knows it. So in a straight fight, he'll win. How do I compensate? Use the other factors to my advantage. The biggest deciding factor in a BR battle is movement. Here's some tips:

When strafing back and forth (right, left, right, left), always try to change positions in between their shots, just before they take their shot. Subconsciously, they are following your pre-determined path, and changing it at the last second will increase your chances of them missing, or just landing 1 round of their 3 shot burst. Another good strafing technique is to simply stop. Nobody uses it, and I find it a huge advantage to have over someone. People expect you to walk back and forth, and will lead their shots accordingly, but in the middle of your strafe, suddenly stop moving. It will throw their shot off, allowing you to gain the advantage in the fight.

Another technique is the "Gandhi Jump." It was first introduced back in Halo: CE, and found it's proper place in MLG in Halo 2. Basically, the Gandhi jump is where you rapidly crouch and uncrouch in mid-air while jumping. This causes your head to move up and down, making it harder to get 4-shotted. Also, while not as present as in Halo 2, Gandhi jumping while near a low ceiling will cause your head to glitch into the ceiling, eliminating the possibility of getting a headshot on you. This also causes you to bounce up and down faster when propelling off a low ceiling.

When in close-quarters BR fights, keep this little trick in your back pocket- Crouch. Right in the middle of the fight, crouch. It will cause them to miss a shot, and change their crosshairs height, giving you an advantage.

Besides all that, all I can say is that practice makes perfect. Try playing BR only gametypes as much as possible. Using the AR too often can cause you to lose your developing BR capabilities. Remember: The Battle Rifle is an essential weapon in Halo. It is going to be the weapon you use most. For these reasons, you should try your best to develop it as best as possible.

Paranoia is a very comforting state of mind. If you think they're out to get you, it means you think you matter.

All I can say in those videos is, nice host. I love how in that one video, none of the needlers seemed to have stuck to you when you were just crouching there for more then 3 seconds.

Hey guys, got a recent message from a reader who was wondering about if they should change partners, after finding that their doubles partner was getting too frustrated, and it was hurting the team, and felt like sharing it with you guys, just in case others were wondering-

Well, there are many roads you can go down at this point. Have you tried talking to him about his decisions, and told him how it resulted in a loss for the team? Try talking to him about an alternative way of doing what he did, perhaps by saying something like "Next time, we could do this and take them by surprise!" That way, he wouldn't feel put down, or feel that you are putting yourself above him. Remember, you're doing this to improve the team, and not to inform him of his errors. You could also say something along the lines of "man, when I get mad, I play like crap." or something. He may relate to this, and subconsciously work on not getting angry and disrupting his play.

As for choosing a different partner, you very well may have to. If you notice that you just aren't going anywhere as a team, try playing with different people.

"It's not you, it's me. I just feel like we should see other people..."
:D

If you have played with this person for a long time, you may have a feeling of comfort playing with him, and you probably will come back and play with him again. This time though, you will bring new tricks and strategies with you from your other partnership, and you can implement them into your playstyle with your teammate.

Overall, dont feel bad if you decide to play with other people. It's Halo, not a relationship. Even professional MLG teams switch players around to adjust their playstyle, and they've been together through thick and thin for years, all across the world. For your doubles gameplay, it may just be a matter of rank, and if you know a more skillful friend, play with them and see how it helps out.


BTW- Episode 2 of My Tips To Help You Reach 50 will be out THIS WEEKEND! I'm staying up late to finish it up, and will hopefully have it posted for everyone to watch while they wait for the weekly update. Whether or not my special guest makes it in this episode is a different story though... haven't had a good talk with him in a while, so I might have to save him for next episode.

There is a program over at www.halo3timer.com which counts down weapon and power up spawns on your computer, and plays an audio file of the spawns at 30 seconds, 10 seconds, and spawn. VERY helpful to controll the match. Keep your speakers up and go to your TV. Start the program as the game starts, and you'll know when and where every powe weapon is.

Can this make me banned.

I appreciate the tips for being a 50, but I have no intentions of getting that skill level. I want to become a strike commander just because of it's aesthetics. But I do know I can ask help from you about one thing. I am wondering about sensitivity. I used to play on default sensitivity, but found that my aim was allover the place. Now I play on sensitivity 1 but I am wondering if that is a good thing? My aim is more precise, and it takes a lot for my opponent to kill me. But I am just wondering what is a good way to pick the best sensitivity?

Well, if you don't care about your sniping skills, try increasing it to ten for a few games. If you are still good as before, keep it, if not, try changing to 8. Try a few more games, and if you don't like it, keep decreasing it by 1.

BTW any sniping skills you had before this will need to be relearned
