Halo is a great game because your fighting style is defined very specifically to you and you alone. I'm going to list some classes. Every halo player is especially good at one thing and that one thing comes naturally. Yes, some people are naturally gods of halo that are perfect at all forms of combat. If you are perfect at all types of combat, might i suggest spending less time playing halo? well, anyway decide your fighting type.

Stealth
-you try to kill only when absolutely necessary
-In ctf you always go for the invis or creep across the edges of the map
-you use mainly the pistol
-in team slayer, you generally have least deaths, but a slightly lower kill count
-you cooperate well on a team and communicate almost non-stop with your team to insure a perfect operation.

Sniper
-you constantly have a sniper rifle
-if the sniper isn't there you sit and wait for it
-you hit 50% or more of your shots
-you almost never touch the flag
-you give excellent cover at the appropriate time (if you can't do this then your a waste of space)

Soldier
-you excel with the shotgun
-you usually have most kills in games, but not always least deaths
-your always taking the offensive
-you think of yourself first, you play indepedently and hate to rely on teammates
-you get an OS when you can but you never wait for weapons or power ups
-you use all other weapons effectively

Defense
-your notorious for your knowledge of the bases and can run an offensive player in circles
-you can take 3+ people down with use of cover and base advantage
-you excel with weapons like shotgun, plasma rifle, and ok at pistol
-you work well with a team
- you are pacient (you don't get bored and draw faces on the walls)
-you have a good knowledge of where their going with the flag when you die

Driver
-the hog comes naturally to you
-you know all the hog tricks (back jump, quick side pick up, in and out, etc.)
-your there to pick up an ally every time whether their at warps or an enemy base
-you can navigate the tunnels on sidewinder at full speed without making any major hits.(only minor snags)
-you can use a ghost so well, it seems like it's cheap bungie put it in the game

assassin
-you're there for last second flag returns
-you kill the enemy flag bearer when both teams have eachothers flag
-you also function as a good defense player

I am now bored and have come to the realization that lots have people have made threads like this.

I can tell you from experience that sniper will win, even though 90% of people who call thamselve snipers suck. I can tell you right now, if you're cutoff is 50%, I'll kick your ass at sniping. I'm dangerous with a sniper. 50% of my shots don't hit, they kill. I'd say about 90% of my shots hit the person, whereas about 50% are headshots. And that's only if I'm going for risky shots at people who are running back and forth.

I always try to carry the rockets as a backup weapon. For some reason, people like to get close to me to kill me, so I blow them up. I'm an artist with the thing. I've made more than my fair share of 100+ meter rocket kills that were less luck than skill.

I'm also an ace driver of the hog. I'll take the driving position over gunner any day. I love having control over the vehicle, and odds are I'll get more kills as the driver anyways.

I know. i am not a fan of the snipers.... they don't know what good snipers are. And you made yourself sound like one by bragging. Don't, if you're as good as you say, than you don't have to tell peopel that.

I'm sort of a mix since I do just about all(except driver-gunners so much fun),but I'm not great at all but I don't suck either.I'm in a special category all my own.

I can play any of those possetions except maybe assain but that's it.

I'm not the best at all of them but I can be counted on when ever where ever.

I like the sniper. You can take people down with one shot, and you're so far away or in hiding they can't do anything about it (unless they also have a sniper rifle)

Oh and thanks for putting my words of wisdom in your sig Peck.

snipers move around avoiding shots and stuff campers stay in a protected possetion and stay there for a while but soon spotted quickly and effencitely

Bragging? You're obviosly not a sniper. When snipers brag, they don't go saying only half their shots are headshots.

Actually, Rip Saw, the whole Sniper mentality goes along with that damned "lone wolf-rebel" teen trend going around.

It's basicly yet another teen trend that makes no sense whatsoever.

I didnt vote sniper even though I'm fairly good with it. I dont suck with the Sniper at all, I just completely own with grenades! It's like a gift or somethin. Plasma or Frag, doesn't matter but I preder plasma grenades because when u sticky a person and they spot you, it's funny to stand still cuz they dont even know!

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Out of all the local players, I'm the best sniper. I've never had the chance to test my skill against a great sniper though, so I'm not going to brag.

I'm like the stereotypical sniper/commander. Over the net, I just grab the gun and kill the people who are the most dangerous to my team. In LANS, I usually forego the gun and do a lot of driving and directing of my team. I'm the best at sniping, but I'm also the best at getting in and doing the damage necessary. Most people here are the best in their area, so you know what i mean.

Combine all of those, and you've got me. In team deathmatch, I single-handedly end matches. In CTF, while I prefer not to carry the flag myself (I can make a damn good 'Hog escape though) I can cause massive chaos in the enemy's base while someone else takes the flag. I stay behind and provide cover sniping and/or a distraction for the driver. Yep, that's why I deseve the alieas SPARTAN-043, the name of the best Spartan ever.

I am stealth. I do great as parto f a team and I exel witht e pistol. Average of 5 shot kills. I can beat good snipers with it at medium range and can beat about everybody with it, even two or three ppl in a row with a sec in between, I get the drop on ppl often. I also am very good with the hog.

  • 08.12.2004 12:26 AM PDT

i chose the sniper because i think its the best gun in the game ( very long distance )

when i am at lan parties with only my friends and we play sniper i always win ( with 20 / 30 kills more than evry body else)

ts fun to snipe people in the their head while driving the hog and right before they try to go tru the teleporter then blam headshot

I have only played Halo multiplayer a few times- And the most people I have ever played with is 4. I guess in Salisbury people just don't 'dig' Halo. Never been to a LAN party.
