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

how do i get better at no scopes? especially close range.


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.
I always try that but people strafe the same direction as me all the time and if I even touch the right stick, everything will go up and down. lol.

Overdose v420v

Honestly, these tips dont help at all, just becuz u have a better setup doesn't mean you'll be good enough to reach a higher skill level - also, if u honestly have to count the respawn times, quit being such a noob and find another game

Of course you dont have to count the respawn times, but it certainly helps. It's the same way with choosing a Shotgun over a Mauler. You dont have to, but it will certainly help.

$250 will land you hte MLG Edition Astro A40 audio system, which includes the Headset and Mixamp along with all the cords you can imagine. Even if you're not into MLG, I think the MLG speaker tag looks a lot cooler than a plain one that says "Astro" on the side. Notice: The only difference between the standard A40 and the MLG edition A40 is the speaker tags, which are interchangeable.

Well, looking through your first page of game history (24 games of LW), you got 1st place 3 times, and 2nd 4 times. 3rd 8 times, which means you got 4th, 5th or 6th 9 times.

When I go into Lone Wolves, this is my train of thought- "Aim for 2nd. Hope for 1st. Settle for 3rd."

Reason being that coming in 1st or 2nd is going to look good for you. 3rd is going to be neutral. 4th, 5th, and 6th I consider a loss. Now, these positions could change depending on who you fight. For instance, in this game, you got 4th when matched up against 1 person who was your level, and the rest were ranked below you. That definitely did not look good for you. Pretty much in that situation, the game expected you to get 1st or 2nd. Coming in 4th did not look good.

That's just a brief overview. I'll go into it more and edit this when I have time. It's 3 in the morning and I have to get up at 9 for classes. Sure, 6 hours of sleep is fine, but last night I saw District 9's midnight showing, and then had to wake up early, so I'm running on about 2 hours of sleep today. 6 hours isn't going to cut it for tomorrow.

@tandaman
Just as a little something extra to that, I would really suggest watching some gameplay footage of good players and do what they do. Take note of the routes they take, nade placement, weapon control, where they are looking for possible targets, and whatever else you can learn.

ok thank u i will definetly do that. mite i find these vids on youtube?

  • 08.15.2009 12:13 AM PDT

There's only a few on youtube that I know of, but they're pretty good. Look up DwDBenjReed, he does commentaries on them to tell you what to look out for, etc. Sometimes he takes requests, too.

If you feel like watching more after those, you should check out the gaming section of Justin TV every once in a while. There's usually a couple good players streaming their footage. And even if they're not online, you can check their archives for matches from the whole week.

  • 08.15.2009 12:28 AM PDT

Yeah, watch Rippinheads camp lollolollololol

This actually piqued my curiosity so I searched for it..... clicked on one titled "Rippinheads - Untouchable perfection" and the very first thing you see in the video is him crouching with shotgun on guardian :p

haha ok sounds good. i think that watching would really help me out because i am just pitiful at some maps and cud use some tips and moves :) and apparently u guys arnt rippin fans eh? ive never seen him but people dont talk to great about him...

  • 08.15.2009 12:41 AM PDT

Man, I LOVE rippinheads. I find it absolutely hilarious that every second MGL kid instantly assumes that they're better than him in every way, shape and form.

Btw, I saved some 46-50 LW clips from a couple days ago so I'll send you the link to them in a private message if you want? It's streaming video so you don't even need to download or anything.

Where did I say anything about you thinking you're better than him? o_O

And where did I even praise the guy at all? I said that it's funny how people assume that he's terrible for not playing MLG, I never said he was good.

That post wasn't even for you to begin with, I was just replying to tandaman's question. Way to change from funny poster to defensive child making testicle insults in about 2.4 seconds....

Thanks for the tipps, they are good and help you to improve your gameplay!

But its not possible to level up with Grade 3 or 4(I'm a Brigadiergeneral 49 )

When you are a 44 and have over 3000 EXP you can forget leveling up without a booster, trust me

Instead of going back to the Sniper spawn only to see that it hasn't respawned yet, isn't it better to know exactly when it's back?

Exactly :) You also know when to keep your opponents AWAY from the spawns. Not good if it's 10 seconds till Rocket spawn, and 3 enemies are walking down Long Hall. Even if they didn't know when it spawns, chances are they'll see it.

On a side note, glad to see everyone giving some back and forth tips. Good to see everyone willing to help eachother out.
