It's a shame it is against the rules to call you out on your rank, seeing as how the level you play at greatly affects the opinions you hold (on gameplay). Generally, if you are bad - Your opinions are wrong, and your argument is invalid.

OMG its Ollie!!! Haha now random Internet people know your name... be scared...

To ShadowStrike, man, im loving your tips, but at the moment im holed up at my dads place on the slowest computer ever..

My current skill rankings are -

LW = 45 TD = 45 TS = 36 MLG = 38 SWAT = 32 (edit 30, lost one game went down 2)

OBJ = 18

i actually gave up on getting a 50 once i reached my most honourable bird perch, but to be honest, I think these tips are useful, I do callout and such in MLG and doubles but never in anything else.

Like Ollie (mad Larkin), I hate LW with a passion so strong it all bursts out - (waitwut?!) - But i now have a brilliant SWAT team that im going to be playing with on Sunday, im hoping i can hit 45 from 30 tomorrow.

So, after this very long winded post, i go to my query -

Do you have any ideas for SWAT, and also, if any of the community would like to make videos, could they post them on Youtube and send you a link, and if it is good, you can insert the link in the OP, and direct community members to it?

Im asking this because i have one of the best strategies to lockdown Free For all Guardian and id like to share it, but i know that if i post it on my own it wont get the publicity it should.. so yeah...

and finally, i cant see an episode 2? whens it coming out?

thanks man. keep it up.

Good tips. I'm a Brig Grade 2 with about 6000 games played. Skill 46 in Doubles and I've started trying to get my Doubles skill to 50. I'm also 45 in Lone Wolves, which I got my first 45 in. But one problem, I don't have a good partner to help me rank up. And entering by myself causes me to get teammates that constantly rush the enemy and give them kills. I'll keep trying untill I find a good teammate and rank up with him.

You've leveled up good in Doubles. Why didn't I stick with you when I had the chance? >.<

Which account are you speaking of?

This is my main account, which was the brig grade 2 before I got my 50. If you are talking about my My Tips account, the point of that account is to not get it to 50, but play with people who are not 50 so that they can learn at their level, and not against a team of 50's... but my accounts go up quick, and i have to get new ones... my digitalph33r account got up to 48 I think before I stopped giving tips on it. RECON ARM0R got like 47 before I stopped giving tips on it. Now, MyTipsToReach50 is now a 46 in doubles, and a 49 in Lone Wolves... probably going to hit 50 this week... but I want to do all my business on that account.

As for episode 2, it's still in the works... I'm a very busy man. Gamebattle's online Meadowlands qualifier just ended, and we're about to sign up for the Columbus qualifier soon... right after we afford our ticket for Meadowlands... and gas money... and hotel money... expensive little hobby Halo is, huh?

Hey Shadow i have a 43 in LW but my highest skill is 44 and y got in LW but i can't level to 44 again what i should to do?


Alright. Here's what's the issue with Lone Wolves. Most people come into Lone Wolves with the mindset of Team Slayer. Meaning that they dont want to die. For god's sake. If you dont end that game between -2 and +2, you aren't doing the job right. Yes, if you go +8 in Lone Wolves, it better be because the other players suck terribly.

What I'm getting at is- DIE. Allow me to clarify. Sitting back on your side is the worst thing you can do. Go to the fight. Always. Unless you have a sniper rifle, I want you go jump into that fight. Even if you have the sniper rifle, go to a place where you can see the fight. If it's slayer on The Pit, and people are fighting on Blue platform, dont stay on Red Snipe 2 and snipe.

Lone Wolves is all about time. You need to act quick. Dont be afraid to die. Get kills. If you dont die as much, other players will make up for you, and your enemies will get kills faster that way.

Dont go completely out of your way to get a power weapon in Lone Wolves. It'll waste time, and Power Weapons exchange hands way to often in Lone Wolves.

Above all, remember what I said about the BR. Keep it on you and steal kills. While running to the fight, scope in and look for people with no shields. Dont shoot at them if they have full shields and are in a battle. No need to help out someone else. Let them weaken eachother and then clean up.

In closing, get the fight, have a BR and an SMG/AR/Shotgun/Mauler on you. They're versatile weapons that are readily available, and allow you to change your tactic on the fly.

Most importantly, learn the Auto Stick button combo. First, you need a non-full clip. This means, get a shot off, preferably on the enemy. Then, you need to press MELEE, RELOAD, GRENADE. Quick, but not too quick. What this will do is make you lock on, and get right next to them, cancel the melee before it does damage (which makes you stall for about a second), and stick them immediately. It may take some time, but this will allow you to stick someone just before you die, even if your crosshairs aren't on them. Doing this will get you a kill when you're about to die, and with Lone Wolves, getting double kills is easy with sticks.

Now, I'm not a Lone Wolves master, only gotten a 50 in it a couple times, and my teammate could probably tell you more than me, but if I get anything across, it's get there quick. It's a race for kills. Lone Wolves isn't about having a great K/D spread. It's about getting the most kills fast.


Another thing, this is the cheapest thing you can do, but in some cases you just have to do it if you want to win. Keep an eye on who's in the lead if you aren't. If the person in the lead has 24 kills, and you're in second with like 20 or so, you're probably not going to win. Now here's the problem. The person in 3rd might have 18 or 19 kills. It's better to grab 2nd than to tie for 2nd or get 3rd. So, if you find yourself in this situation, and it's comming down to the wire, you might have to do this:

Let the person in the lead kill you.

It guarantees yourself you position before another enemy can bump you down.

Please don't do that. Plus, if you don't want it bumped, don't post in it, that'll just bump it again.

thanks gazas. I've always thought it was a little bit helpful. If it shows one person something new, then I feel accompolished. I think I need to update the videos as well... I think I might have some dead links...
