Allright. as you all may know, -blam!- fighting is another name for the PP/BR attacks...

Tools of the Trade

Ok most people like me ( i dont get to use in matchmaking) like the PP/BR and i really think its fun when you make it a Team Custom Game. Anyways... I got some tips on how to kill your oppenent without waiting for the green blob to hit him first.

1.The Plasma Pistol. When oppenent is 10 feet or less infront of you, do not bother charging up all the way. Just be sure that when you DO charge it, you let go of the trigger when there name is visable in the crosshair

2.The Battle Rifle. You use this after the glob hits your opponent. If you have a straight head shot, do not hesitate to fire when neccessary. At close range, try melee, shoot, shoot, melee, but only when you have them in your sights because if you melee when they are to your side, that gives them enough time to comeabout to your backside and assassinate you.
If your oppenents back is turned when their shield is off, aim for the Back of the head, neck, upper back section of the Spartan.

3.The Meleeing. Use this in DIRE situations. you do not want to waste 5 seconds trying to melee a person to death if you keep missing. Their shield has to be off to make 1-3 hit kills.
Be warned... i do not advise meleeing because it takes way too long to bring your hands back to firing position, but use it when absolutly no ammo or under 1-4 feet away from you.

The Defensive Positions

1. When that glob hits you, get out of sight! you want to do everything you can to get out of the battle rifles way. An example i encountered that i can use here is: say you have the rocket launcher and an enemy with the -blam!- Fighting 'Nique is in pursuit trailing right behind you. Turn the nearest corner at you and stay crouching out of his sight... when he goes to throw a grenade, run up and fire blindly (This confuses and startles them because they want you to be scared) Note: this technique is not advised if you're facing a person who is a dead on shot.)

2. When your out in the open. I havent really thought this through... but the point that if you know that an opponent infront of you has the BFN ( -blam!- Fighting Technique) To find cover as fast as possible. Don't bother running in a straight line, cause they'll just nail your ass. try jumping, moving sidewinder style and hiding behind boxes until cover arrives. I will edit this when i analyze this in matchmaking ( if i get that chance)

3.BFN Versus BFN. Remember The PP. When you are rushing towards the person and you both have the BFN, the winner will be whoever LANDS the shot of the PP. Sometimes you'll have your battle rifle out and start with shooting him multiple times with it.Sometimes you will win when you do that, but the majority of the tim, he will land the glob and take you out while your busy working down his shields. Note: Not advised for persons who are going up to them while in the learning process, practice required if all the above stated has failed for you.

Yes, some of you may be saying " Well, your just teaching the masses to be Wh0res at this!!!" No, i'm not. Tonight was my first time doing the BFN in team practice. I give attacking and defending notes, so people don't come whining in here saying that these people are wh0res. The PP and BR were put there for a reason, and it is a combo like the 2 shot kill combo with PP/MGNUM. I'm giving you folks an advantage in the field, so use these notes to your best. There is no such thing as a wh0re at anything... Example: Me: Eat lead -blam!-!!! Pwned dood: omg YOU BULLET Wh0RE!!! See that dont make sense if i can make an overkill off you with SMG's

I hope the folks out there can keep this as a good post to have around and place as a sticky for the whining that comes in daily.
