The bungie.net community is the halo PC community that is renowned for being unbelieveably sucky.
When ppls strafe back and forth, don't worry so much about leading them as much as continually moving your reticle back and forth over their body to make your reticle light up red. Everytime your target moves outside of the little circle of your reticle, you have to start the process over again before bullets will hit. Play against someone with a 300+ ping that is warping everywhere and you will figure out how the netcode really works. Aim isn't as important as convincing the server that you have aimed onto the target. Kinda hard to explain. The higher your ping, the longer you have to wait (convince the server you are aimed onto the target) before bullets will hit. This is why you can turn a corner, come up on someone standing completely still and still miss a shot with a sniper despite shooting essentially through them. The server isn't going to register a hit unless it first registers that you are aimed onto the guy. When you have a 33 ping, this waiting period is almost nil, giving you a huge advantage over higher pingers with equal skill.
Then work on the other important things like having a steady hand, and shooting much slower than most people do. I can usually watch someone go through an entire clip, hit almost nothing, and then slowly kill someone in 5 bullets or less in the time it takes them to reload. Typically then they quit. The faster you shoot the less you tend to hit against players with good defensive movements. The pistol itself is much more accurate as well the slower you fire. In some cases at close range, it doesn't matter at all, but most of the time it does and you need to shoot slower.
