Have You ever noticed that someone on Halo is always better than you on halo online? Well, he may know something u don't know so heres a guide to help you.

HOW TO SHOOT RIGHT: Now, the pistol is a VERY deadly weapon but it can also be hard to shoot and use correctly. Now first to the 3 shot kill:
This is a very difficult way to kill. This is basically 3 well aimed head shots. Now, when most people aim for the head, they forget that gravity is in effect , so that bullet will go a little lower than the head and hit the body instead. When aimiing for the head, always shoot a little above the enemy's head, and time ur shots correctly too.

Timing Shots: This is very difficult to explain. It basically takes practice instead of guides.


Strafing patterns: Strafing basiclaly means dodging bullets, and avoideing the foe's shots.

Classic Strafe: Many newbies do this. they just run forward and shoot crazy. very bad ineffective will get killed by a grenade and not even notice.

L and R strafe: this is the beginner's strafing pattern just move back and forth pressing left and right(A and D) Its quite simple to do for a newbie and yet quite effective. However, someone can kill you easy if they come from your right of left side. Its easy for someone to get you, by backstabbing.

Circle Strafe: This is a little harder. You basically move around in a circular pattern. To do this, u hold on to W and A on the keyboard at the same time, then switch to W and D, the hold S and D, etc. and do that back and forth over and over again. It also can be useful cause it protects u from ALL sides cause u're in a circular motion so people can't go to ur side and kill u like the L and R strafe. Recommended for Experienced Beginer. Warning:

Intermediate Strafe: Move back and forth, by pressing A and D, but also place a crouch in between, and also try to sidestep a little( hold A and S at the same time).This is a modified version of the other strafes. Recommended: Intermediate player.

X-Force strafe: Now, this is Very complicated. I do NOT suggest many people try to do this. Basically, u still move back and forth by holding A and D. However, each time make them different.(ex. Holding the A key a little longer will take you to a different position.) When you understand how to do that, try adding new parts to it. I suggest adding a barrel turn (as many players call it), by holding W and A and S and A, so u'll move sideways, in a different way. Barrel turns are useful and you should modify your barrel turns, such as by Holding the S key longer than the A key, then holding the A key longer than S. Lastly, i can suggest you sidestep a little, and place some crouches in your strafes. When, u finished this cycle repeat and repeat until the person you are shooting at is dead. Always try to make each cycle different. Ex. Crouch in a difgferent position each time. Do not try to do all of this in one practice. SLowly learn the parts of the strafe one by one.
Recommended for: An advanced intermediate player, or a expert whos polishing his strafes.
Warning: DO not use when someone has a gun that has splash damage and an area effect. It is also, for a grenade to hit you during this strafe. When someone tosses a grenade, sidestep more than you have to to avoid its splash damage. Because, you move around in a small area, its quite easy for a rocket noob to get you.

Y Strafe: A combinantion of moving backwards by pressing A and S at the same time, then S and D at the same time. then charge forward a little quickly. Therefore, it'll form a Y. This strafe is a little basic but can be useful in some situations. ex. a guy with a fuel rod gun or rocket gun. he'll have a time hitting u cause you'll move in a VARIETY of places.
Recommended: Whenever you're dealing with someone who has a rocket launcher or fuel cell cannon. All players should be able to do this. Warning: never use when someone has a pistol


Finally, the weapons guide:
The pistol: basically is very powerful and useful for sniping too. Requires some skill and many peeps think its the best weapon. well, some peeps even go overobessed with pistol using it at all times. That is bad. U should balance ur weapons with rocket and pistol or fuel rod and pistol
Assault Rifle: very good at cutting heath . its a very good combo with the pistol. basically use the pistol to destroy enemy's sheilds then mow at them with ur rifle ( at close range only).
Fuel Rod Gun: Very devastating. can destroy an squad easily at close range. Don't use at long range though. Now, this weapon uses an arc to fire so be sure to understand how angles work. Unlike the launcher, this has quite alot of ammo.
Rocket Launcher Excellent weapon: always aim for the ground near the opponent not directly at it cause it might miss. excellent anti hog noob gun! Good idea to go to the middle of the map and use it. However, it has limited ammo so be sure to fire when your sure it'll hit the target. However, ammo is scarce, and you only recieve4 rounds so use them 4 rounds wisely. (ex. don't use it on a player on the other side of map)
Sniper Rifle: Very Difficult to use and has limited ammo. To use it, time ur shots by watching the opponent's strafing pattern then time ur shot and fire away! Also, aim for the head cause its a one hit K.O.
Shotgun: Not recommended. Only for VERY VERY close range combat. However, when firing, aim for the upper body. I do not mean like aim above the head, or at the head. The shotgun uses more than just one bullet at a time. It sprays multiple shots that go within the area of the circular recticle. Therfore, if you aim for the head, only a few will hit it.

These are the best combos i know of, and are VERY recommended .

Nice guide. You forget about the pistol and plasma/shotgun combo:

Overcharged Plasma Pistol at close range takes down a shield, followed by a shotgun to the head or a pistol shot to the head.

you also forgot the "perch up on a ledge and wait for someone to run under you, then fall on them and spray them with the flamethrower" approach. That's my personal favorite.

thats quite opriginal........yeah, i didn't put that cause its a very painful way to kill, and it kinda is wierd. and u do that cheap kill? well, 2 things: not many peeps bother with ledges these days. they mainly shoot with pistols and rifles, in the open battlefield.

me15er, the plasma pistol is very difficult to use on online mutiplaya. Thats a good and painful plan u got, but plasma pistol sucks on multiplaya.

Yeah, I do that, its just incredibly difficult to find the right ledge, and to jump down without lighting youreslf on fire. Its also difficult not to get picked off by snipers while waiting too...
typically i pistol, unless im' in a small, compact map, like longest. That is where the FLAMETHROWER owns.
Large maps are made for sniping, fuel rods, and pistols.

I am the Silent Assassin. I am the Judge, the Jury, and the Executioner. I SO totally own!

Not if you use the pistol combo right.

By the by, im talking about those enclosed maps with little room. Pistol combo is not recommended for, say, bloodgulch.

What the hell was that thingy about Law and Order???

I always sign off with some sort of snotty/sarcastic/true thingy. That was what that "I'm the Judge, The Jury, and The Executioner" thingy was about. It wasn't listing my usernames. My username is as you see it here.

My problem with the pistol combo is that you have to switch weapons, giving the other dude time to do a 3-shot pistol kill.

No, this thread is actually interesting (somehow).

Please comprehend before posting,

I hate the plasma pistol. A lot. It's impossible to hit a moving target with it. And also, the regular pistol doesn't do to well at a long distance.

That guide sucks. Sorry...but sniper and shotgun are the easiest guns for me to use. Along with the pistol. But then again, I don't really play Halo CE anymore, because Halo 2 makes it suck in comparison.

I still prefer the pistol combo in tight spaces, but most people pick up a short range weapon and a long range weapon, like rocket launcher/shotgun.

And it also helps, if youre gonna pick up a launcher, to learn how to lead, in other words, firing in front of the target such that the rocket will collide with the target.

My name is Gold Elite or The Local people. When u see me on the internet, be sure to thank me for this guide!!!!!!!!

I ask that you not demand we thank you. Some of us know this stuff already. There are many videos that demo this while a person tells you how/what to do. Yes, this guide may be quite helpful for some but dont assume that we owe you thanks because you made a quick tutorial like many before you.
And I didnt realize that there was a wrong way to kill someone.... a kill is a kill whether it is pretty or not.

They have a few vids that tell you, if not all, most of the things you have brought up. The reloading glitch is commonly known as 'back packing'.

It would be nice if i could understand that complicated strafing maneuver. Prolly won't need to though as I just go around in a circle, which works fine untill I meet someone really good with a sniper rifle or I play Battle Creek. I hate that map. Its a nice guide for the new people aa it seems like half the people online have never even heard of moving to avoid being shot. You should play me, twould be fun.

ur name was in ur signature the whole time............

yes these are ad\vanced strafes. This is a very good one:
move back and forth changing strafing positions so it'll confuse the enemy.

and also, the circle strafe is a little old now. and as far as i'm concerned, the circle strafe is fine for the average people. however, i play on the servers for the better people(unison gaming), so i really don't see much newbies who stand still and shoot like crazy. well, my names Gold Elite or The Local. i'll search for u, and kill u.
