Wow this man has played a big role in the community of halo I thank you for discussing your knowledge of tips and tricks to become a 50. Also he has 4 50 accounts getting 50's to him must be nothing. Keep the good work up.

Thank you, my good sir. I've got 3 50's on this account alone, working on my 4th in Snipers. I dont mean to brag, but yes, getting to a 50 is a matter of when, not if to me. It just comes from experience. Experience I intend to share with others, once I find the right way to do so.

On a side note, last night was pretty exciting. My teammate and I decided to run some Team Doubles, and we were matched against the #8 and #18 players on Halo Charts: Halocide Z and parabola l

The good news: We won. The bad news: They were total jerks about it. We tried having a nice coversation with them afterwards about how we were just looking at their HaloCharts page, and they totally started going off at us. Some people...

Sure, I've played RippinHeads in Lone Wolves and won before, but playing two of the top players as a team was pretty exciting (and I was totally playing terribly :P)

really, you should use Lone Wolves to develope your skills. Play tons of LW till you get "rank locked" in it. That's when you should switch playlists. Then, you'll be rank locked at 45 in LW, but you'll have the skills to get to a 50 in another playlist where you still have an open Sigma. Really, you should be using LW as your warmup playlist, so to speac.

I don't know what people are saying about me not having a 50 on my main account... I have 50s in 3 different playlists on this account, and I have another on the way. My second account I would use to teach others on, as it was pointless to teach them on my main account and make them go up against 50s constantly. When the account got too high a level to teach on, I would rank it up to 50 using new strategies so that I could share them with you guys and see what works best. Every account I've touched has at least 1 50 on it.

Shadow IYO do you think it's best to go into TS alone or with 2-3 others?


Going into TS with 1 other person seems to be very advantagious. This way, you'll have someone who you know is skill and that you are used to playing with, and you will face a team that is also not a full 4 person team. If you go in 3's or 4's, you're going to face a full team. You wont know how skilled that team is, so it's better to split a team up.

Great tips Shadowstrike, hopefully I'll get my damn 50 before I become a Brig Gen.
On a side note, dibs on your Astro A40's when they come out with A50's!

Team Slayer, Team Doubles, Lone Wolves. I should have my 50 in Team Snipers by tonight, and tomorrow night I should have another in Team SWAT. From there, I'm going to finish up my 50 in MLG. From there, I just need to wait till they put out another ranked playlist, for I have no hope for a 50 in Squad Battle.

And yes, I remember that we totally demolished the other team. :)

Alright, I have 3, TS, TD, SWAT(3), but my TS rank went down to a 46 cuz I let my cousin play a few games when I was at work, my Squad Battle rank is 26 and I also want a 50 on that, wanna team up?

Use your left thumbstick more than your right. Just make sure your crosshairs are level, and then use your left themstick to move around and shift your aimer. Too many people freak out with their right thumbstick, moving it up and down, etc. The best thing about the sniper is that it causes no recoil, so you'll always have it at the level you leave it.
