"Wake me...when you need me."

Just be PATIENT and make SURE to use the Plasma Pistol against Brutes in conjunction with another weapon with more impact. Knock their shields down with the PP then move in for the kill.

Don't rush the enemies and use your ammo wisely.

BRING A FRIEND OR THREE!

I also recommend staying near the health packs before getting brave and venturing out to take on the group. Also, get good with enemy weapons, SMG ammo, and pistol ammo are always in short supply for me. Move a lot, last bit of advice, good luck!

DMR FTW! Don't gimme no lip, it rocks, you just suck, and feel the need to blame the gear.

What i do is, we assign roles before we start the match, i get stuck with "Sniper dude" all the time cause of my amazing headshot skills. Somebody gets to be the guy who sits on the turret and spam, and the other two basically run support where needed, on ONI interior what i do is set it up so two of us are standing on the glass elevator walls where they meet the other wall. The other two run support and grab PP's to make brutes an easy headshot for us guys with the pistol. On the first round of this map you get a few jackal spawns with carbines, so i run and swap my SMG for one. the snipers get most of the kills, but everybody gets the achievement in the end, so who gives a -blam!-. If you on a map with a turret/enemy vehicles like ONI exterior, set up a guy who uses heavy weapons for those nasty wraiths, a janitor (The guy who cleans up the guys that get by) a sniper, and a badass... aka the guy on the turret killing everything. the turret guy gets the most kills, and the janitor barely gets any, but again, what do you want? It gets you recon don't it?

Other than these "Pro" tips, all i can say is, find a sensitivity you like, and go into campaign again. Use the pistol and carbine a lot, go for headshots, make sure your comfortable with scoped in kills, and remember to give people a job BEFORE you start... if you frantically go through roles while your playing, somebody is gonna die, and then your down a life in your first set.
