So, I recently bought Halo (well, apparently wal*mart doesn't think Im mature enough) and I need some good tips. I have read the multiplayer help on the Halo PC site. I have been playing for about one month and have been slightly improving. Should I stick to one kind of weapon and practice with only that one or should I try and vary my weapon choice?

in my opinion i say stick with sniper and pistol. to me those to weapons are the best but you also have to learn to use other weapons as well. Also learn how to use grendaes there very very effective in halo.

Sniper and pistol. Actually, if the sniper isn't available right when I spawn, or I'm not near the sniper spawn, I just screw it and run with the pistol. It's such an awesome gun.

I agree. Once you learn leading with the sniper and pistol you will become very hard to kill. Learning the pistol will also help with learning the rest of the weapons but you will still have to use them just so you learn their ins and outs.

Chewy and SLD are right, pistol and sniper are indeed formidable weapons. But NEVER just use those weapons exclusively. Or use any weapon in particular exclusively, for that matter.

Try using all weapons to see what weapon you are most comfortable with. I used to prefer a shotgun and a SPNKr, but recently, i began using the sniper, and liking it with each kill it racked up.

Start up or join a "n00b only" type game online (we all had to start somewhere) till you get familiar with everything. Every once in a while, pro who feels like blasting the crap out of everyone will join the n00b game. Learn from those people.

the AR is not the most horrible weapon in the game. use it in VERY short bursts, like 1 or 2 shots per burst, but make them very close together. it's effective against shees.

Just do not settle to run out of your base with the AR...get something else, anything else.
