A controller with a cord is better suited for online use, with a wireless ones there is a slight lag as information is transported from controller to console and vice versa.

An opinion should be the result of thought, not a substitute for it.
- Jef Mallett

That's a good guide you've got there. I already know most of the stuff in those videos however. Although it did bring up one point. Play Lone Wolves. I'm used to playing on a large team and counting on them to watch my back (I'm usually the "main slayer" of the match). It's always such a kick to the head losing a doubles or Team Slayer match because I forget that I don't have 4 or more teammates near me. I'll have to start playing Rumble pit and the like more. :P

Eh, not really. I played CoD4 back when it was cool up until I got to level 55, then decided it was stupid to prestige. I do like the F.E.A.R. series as well. Other than that, I stick mostly to Halo.

Of course, I do love my Rock Band.

As for how long it took me to get my 50? I was around 1400 EXP or so when I got my first 50.

If I insulted you, flamed you, or in anyway offensive, please report my wrong doings.

Or just spam me.

The Mythic Threads (Halo 3) (ODST) (Reach)

First account = Win.

I need a good pair of headsets, I prefer the ones that you have but they're way too expensive for me at the moment. Those Turtle Beach ones seem to be next best thing but I need to find one first.

They would be awesome to use in Campaign, specially Mythic.

The X3s are great. After a few weeks of use my only gripe with them is that when you put in the mic cord there's slight interference in the background, a sort of buzzing. But for Campaign they're crystal clear, although the Bass Boost can make deep voices like Johnson and the Elites sound slightly robotic. :-P
As for using them on MM, eventually you just filter out the buzz because there's more important stuff going on like that Warthog roaring around the other side of the map, or the cheeky Shotgun camper trying to crouch walk towards you.

Also, how do you recommend warming up if you've got nobody to get into a custom game? Previously I'd run through Floodgate on Mythic trying to kill everything quickly to get my aim calibrated properly. Other than playing Social Slayer which is boring as hell without co-operative team mates *cough*guests*cough* I can't really see what to do.


I actually made this custom game/map variant to help me warm up... it's on Guardian, and it helps you warm up your grenade throws, grenade bounces, and shooting explosive canisers (both stationary and moving). I can try to put that up in my fileshare when I get a chance to jump on my xbox. Other than that, Social Slayer. I just concentrate on finding a BR, and only using that.


That would be great. I'll check your Fileshare when I get online and see what it's like. It finally explains away the times I see you in Customs by yourself and I'm wondering "what's the point?" lol.


Hey man, I found it. Here's my warmup gametype. I had deleted it from my main account to free up some space while I was recording some stuff, but I had it stashed on a seperate accout.

How To Run MLG Practice 1 - Video showing how to run it, where to shoot, grenade, etc.

MLG Practice - The universal gametype used for my practice maps.

MLG Practice 1 - Map varient to warm up on Guardian.

Basically, where you see a Camo, that means it's a spot to shoot. Look for the explosive barrels to shoot. If you see Overshield or Custom Powerup, that's a grenade bounce. Watch the video to see just how I throw them. The teleporter floating at S2 is where you should throw the grenade through, and it will land perfectly at Top Gold (trains your angle).

Pretty much, I'll describe a run through of the varient-

Start out on Elbow. Look across to the Snipe Life. Shoot explosive barrel. Run up Elbow to S2, bouncing a grenade off the ground into S2. On S2, throw a grenade through the floating portal to Top Gold. Go to S3. Shoot the lifting explosive barrles as many times as you feel you want. I try to straf back and forth to make it feel more realistic. Hop down to Top Mid, and go to Front Blue. Bounce a grenade off the door into S2, successfully blowing up the hidden explosive canister (I like to then further go in and shoot the canister again, as all explosive barrels are instant respawn). Go down Explosive Hallway, and bounce a grenade. Move to Top Gold. Go to front of Top Gold. Shoot the 3 explosive barrles. One is Top Mid, one is S3, and one is Top Green (Optional: Shoot the lifting explosive barrel). Backtrack into Top Gold, and bounce a grenade to Shortcut, successfully blowing up the explosive barrel. Drop down to Bottom Shortcut. Look across to Camo Lift, and shoot the explosive barrel. Move to Bottom Gold. Bounce a grenade through the door into Bottom Gold, successfully blowing up the hidden explosive barrel (once again, I like to shoot it again as I enter). Go to Bottom Mid, and bounce a grenade (preferably off the cieling) to Bottom Green, blowing up the explosive barrel. Move to Bottom Green. Lift to Camo. While in the lift, shoot the two explosive barrels on Camo. Bounce a grenade from Camo into Top Gold. Drop into the teleporter, and start again.

For the second run, I like to whip out the Sniper Rifle, which is your secondary weapon.

Also, if anyone can spare the points, would you mind rendering the film of how to do it?

Thanks for that. I'd render it, but I've only got one render minute left and your video is 19 seconds too long.

EDIT: Wow. I can't believe people really spam you with meaningless messages like that, I tihnk one of those I saw said "I'm jealous of your Recon." There's not even any reason to send that crap because there's not really any way you can respond other than Block Communications. >.<

Is there really? I did not know that. Seriously, I have been playing wireless ever since I have gotten my XBOX back in December. Could this help my game a lot by getting a cord?

Me too. However, I think my Mu and Sigma are coming back to my original levels. I think I have a high Sigma and a medium Mu at the moment.

Hey Shadow Strike, I just wanna say thanks for all the tips and dedication towards helping people play better. If I was you, I would've said "-blam!- these -blam!-s" Because numerous people on here are -blam!-s. Anyways, just a big thanks.

I just wanted to ask anyone, I use the Legacy Stick Layout, but I really need to use Default, because Default allows full control. I tried default and it felt too slow. I dunno, too many years of using Legacy. Does anyone else actually use the Legacy stick layout? It's pretty much god awful for precision, but it allows for awesome movement/ninja-ing. Hence how I got a 41 in wolves. So yeah I try to Play Default with BJ on 3 Sens....anyone else feel VERY slow while moving and stuff?

Your spoiled
*you're

also, being spoiled isn't something anyone should feel bad about. I'd rather be spoiled than not, personally. Sounds to me like you're jealous.

As for the button layout guy - I switched from default to bumper jumper. It's all personal choice, but the most commonly used layouts are those two. I switched to bumper jumper because I wanted to jump and keep shooting without having to move my right hand. I recommend bumper jumper, but if you wanna do default just go to campaign for a while and use it. You'll get used to it quickly.

... making it hard on you how? Are you saying that you are mad that this thread that "i made up" will make people better, and you dont like that? As for the SMG thing, it's a superior weapon. Just like the BR. AR's require just as much skill as SMGs, only the SMG's are in shorter supply.
