Spanish Revolution

Nice guide man,sadly I don't usually play ranked.
In my opinion the best way is getting a group of skilled friends,comunication is the key.

If your monitor is a 2ms and its not a 5ms with a 2ms GTG then I would like to know where you got it from because I can't find one thats not 2ms GTG. Also, the callouts on your website are a little weird. Some of them I call something totally different and have never heard before. Plus theres a lot missing.

I'll get back to you on the screen with more info when I have time to go find links for you. As for the callouts, the only ones that are not currently hosted are Amplified and Onslaught. I can understand that Onslaught has highly saught after callouts, but as for Amplified, I usually stick with Top/Bottom Blue/Red, Blue/Red Carb, Blue/Red Tower, Purple 1/2/3, Yellow 1/2/3, Left/Right Yellow, Top/Bottom mid. I'll try to get some callouts w/ pics up.



I know all the callouts. There are plenty that you did not include on all the maps but I understand not everyone wants to put the effort into making all them(i wouldnt). Its just a little misleading to lower level players trying to get better. Snowbound for example. I dont call them laser or sniper base. Its high base and low base. There is no laser unless you play FFA in which case callouts are useless.

The only reason that we call them Laser and Sniper is because that's what they used to be before they went through 5 or so different versions of Snowbound... One of my buddies uses "Human" and "Alien".

I understand that. I too used to call them laser and sniper. The point is that these tips are going out to players who typically arn't 50s and are usually fairly new to the game and havn't known any of the previous snowbounds. So when playing in matchmaking and 1 person who read your callouts says laser spawn and hes playing with people his own skill level who havn't read you guide, they wont know what hes talking about.

I'm saving this thread for when I get an apartment. Me and my friend are going to be building a server so we have a good connection. I'm going to start building a gaming rig this summer, and I'm going to get a nice T.V.

Its not hard to reach 50. You have to be good, familiar with the maps, having a good tv always helps(especially HDTV) and good team mates. Lone wolves is the easiest because you can take away kills from other players but the hardest is team slayer or squad battle since you get alot of "noobish" team mates haha. You know someone has no time if they are preaching the good word of Halo to all the followers.

Ah, but the same thing can happen to you.

Team Slayer isn't that bad. That's what I got my first 50 in.

I hope this isn't an insult aimed towards me. If so, I think you mean "no life" instead of "no time". The reason I did so was because I felt it might help some people. Maybe do a little good. I do not wish to start a fight, but if you see a person who types something up to help others as someone with no life, then what does that make the people who take the time to respond and insult the person, instead of just moving along?

Either way, thanks for the read.

You, sir have no idea what you are talking about. First of all, you are not a 50 (never mind a LW 50), even on this new account of yours. Not only is LW one of the hardest 50s, as far as games it takes and skill needed to reach 50, but team slayer is probably the easiest. IMO the easiest 50 is searching 2s in TS.

My Name is Cody, Most of you know me as CodyBandicoot21. If you wish to play against me, you can find me mainly in Social Slayer, Ranked Big Team, Living Dead or Grifball. I'm not MLG. I don't need a 50. I play Halo for the fun of it. If your like me, send me a friend request. And check me out at CodyBandicoot at deviantART.com

Here's my tip, Just play the Game.

Subject: My Tips To Help You Reach 50!

in my opinion...it is hard to reach a 50...

i cant do it..this is only a 2nd account bcuz my other1 got hacked..

ive been playing halo for a long time...on a scale of 1-10(10 is right under semi pro level)..i think im a 7

all it realy take is someone that is good..

i dont have any specle headphones or tv...im just someone with normal things..

i got thiss far tho..

so what im trying to say is that alot of equiptment and top of the line gear isnt the only way your gunna get a 50...if a player has skill..then they are good enough..

of course if you can get these item its wroth it..but realy its not a necesaty..

If you would like to know more about Mythic difficulty please go to this thread. Thank you.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

I've recently managed to go on an 8 game winning streak in LW (over the course of a few days, not continuous play) in which case I've been in the "underdog" half of the pregame board each time and as a result I've managed to increase my skill there from 36 to 39, hopefully looking towards my 3rd 40. If I keep improving I think I might be able to stretch a 45. I suppose it'll depend how consistently I can play for the next few weeks.

Regardless I just thought I'd mention that having the Magnum as a starting weapon in Lone Wolves is absolutely amazing as it allows me to steal kills right off the bat regardless of the gametype and even put down a Sniper/BR user quickly if he's recovering from a previous skirmish.
I've also shed my wireless network adapter for an ethernet cable and the difference is quite noticable, so thanks for the heads up about that. :-)

Good to hear it man! Ya, when the pistol was updated to a starting secondary weapon, I was estatic. LW is all about finding the left overs and eating them up. The pistol made it that much easier, when in the right hands.

Good to hear you went hardwire. Definitely a big difference. Did you also port forward your Xbox and open your NAT?

Yeah, I've got an open NAT so I assume from what I read in that guide that the ports are forwarded too.

Shadow, great tips man. I'm going for my 45 in lone wolves, I know I can get it, just a question of how many matches.

As for my 50, I never really considered Slayer. It IS my favorite mode...I might have to round up a team. Team Slayer is so much funner than Doubles IMO.

I LOVE how everyone on these forums is like "You couldn't even reach 45"

I'm getting my 50 on this account. Don't they understand that it takes time to get a legit 50?

Well, everyone here probably knows the people on these forums aren't the nicest...(at all)...types of people.

Having an open NAT is extremely helpful, but forwarding your ports will help you even further. Unfortunately, simply having an open NAT doesn't mean that the ports are forwarded. Pretty much, you've got to go in and manually reserve select ports for Xbox LIVE. Here's a list of the ports you should forward-

(start port - end port)
3074-3074
80-80
88-88
53-53
77-77
3330-3330
1900-1900
2869-2869
10243-10243
10280-10284

I included a few more than what that guide shows. Mostly they're for video streaming... but still.

Hey, it took me until I was about 1400 EXP to get my first 50. It's definitely a long road. But I cant stress how important it is to tone your skills in Lone Wolves. If you're a consistant 45 in LW, you can make a 48 in Team Slayer. It's all about the long run. Pretty much, play a playlist like Lone Wolves until you can see a significant increase in your playskills, and then make the switch. Ranks will just fly by.

Oh, and to everyone else, I'm shooting for a 50 in Team Throwback within the first week. I'll keep ya posted.

Hey remember me, I went up from a 18 to 35 (LW) since my last question. So this is my question I'm can't get pass 35? When I play I am the best person there (usally) and everyone goes right after me And I get overpowered. It's very annoying, but I d get a good amount (3rd place) but I never win now a days. (1 month) Please give tips on how to take on at least 3 people at once. Thanks for reading.

Lone Wolves is all about proximity and priority. First, people are going to go after who is closest. Second, they'll decide who is the better target. That target may be someone who's hurt, or someone who has a desireable weapon.

Be sure to stay in areas where you can draw "lines" of sight. I've been meaning to describe my term "lines"... maybe I'll do it in a video...

But here's a quick description- I move around the map based on things I call "lines". Being able to do so is going to take practice. Basically, I up the ante on callouts, and ask where my teammates are, unless I can see them myself. I like to know exactly where they are looking. From there, I am able to draw a "line" and pretty much build a wall of where is safe to run. It's hard to describe in text. Pretty much, the way I move is how those situations of "omg howd he get there?!?!? he was all the way on S2 and now he's on the other side of the map!!!" happen.

Getting back on track, I like to move using lines, but instead of knowing where my teammates are looking, I use my enemies. I see where they're running, and know that that area is safe, and I am able to draw lines.

From there, I try to take areas where there are only about 2 or 3 ways to get to me, but the area still has a good view of the map. S2 on The Pit for example. Sure, an obvious control point, but why? First, sniper spawns right by it. There are only 3 ways up to you (two of which you can jump down on the person coming up), a good piece of cover, and a good view of the map.

The main thing you have to worry about is being out of the action. It's good to be cautious, but dont overdo it. You need to be in the action. If you go any higher than +3, you're not aggressive enough.

The Pit is a good example. Since the level is essentially cut in half, it's easy for you to get out of the action, and stuck on the other side. Be sure to control the focus of the fight. Do so by LEAVING a power weapon, perhaps a shotgun or a low sniper on the ground, right where an enemy dropped it. He'll see you walk away, and will want to go get it back. Use this to your advantage. The focus of the battle will go to that weapon, and people will just be charging the area. Keep a decent distance, and throw some BR shots around. You'll do fine.

_____________________________________________________________ __

For those who are interested, I thought I'd make a little announcement. When ODST officially ships, I will be releasing a video shortly to show some good starting strategies for the new maps.

Also, I will be starting a new thread in the ODST section, dedicated to Firefight tips and tricks. I will be trying to collaborate with the Mythic Conquerers, who I am hoping to establish a good Firefight team with, and together we will bring to you all some tips from the campaign pros.

Dont worry, all multiplayer videos and tips will be located here in our already established thread, but it is obvious that much interest will be put into ODST, and I'm going to try to contribute in any way that I can.

Today I will be setting up and holding a Firefight system link at the GameStop I work at. If you happen to wonder into your local GameStop, and you see a guy around a few TV's with firefight going on, and he happens to be wearing a Master Chief costume, go on up and say hi to me.

Actual location hidden for obvious reasons.
