I live in the boonies so I do not have many people to play Halo with, but everyone I do play with I can own... I began to think I was the best... I went online with X-Connect and I got owned by an Elite, 2 to 15 every single game, I kept making excuses like its only cause your power-ups, ect, so we played with no power ups and he still owned me...
Instead of getting frustrated I started to watch how the Elites (online, not campaign) play, I got in one fight and the Elite and I reloaded our pistols about 7 times before hee shot me in the head and I left a grenade at his feet...BOOM. I realized that the way people move is one of the most important skills in the game.
1. Accuracy
2. Dodging Skills
3. Getting power ups
4. Covert Ops
5. Good Positioning
If I could make a list of five things that make an awesome Halo Player it would be these here is why:
1. Accuracy-
Online its kinda funny when you fight someone for about 3 seconds enough for them to get off the pistol bullets two in the body and one in the head... There is not much you can do when you only live for a few seconds.
(here's a tip I saw an Elite do to me, if you are versing an amazingly accurate pistol shooter after you get hit twice duck)
2. Dodging Skills-
Wow this is amazing, if your not the most accurate person then just don't get hit, buy yourself some more time that you need to get your head shots or turn the enemy into a christmas tree with plasma grenades. I noticed this online that when someone is running straight at you it is so easy to own them. The Elites immediately when fight starts (whether they know where you are or not) start moving back and forth, making you follow them with your wepon then when they switch directions you zoom right past them with your weapon. Some fights online would last for like 8 pistols reloads and 8 grenades, just because the people knew how to dodge... here is an obvious, if you do not die the other team does not get a point... you still got to realize all these people are extremely accurate too.
3.Getting Power Ups-
Holy Moly, its so funny when you are walking along in Wizard and you see an explosion and a camo fly towards someone whom you see for a few seconds before the pulse their assult rifle (makes you go inv. faster)... now how in the world do you do that... obvious answer throw it behind the pillar the power ups sit on... but it is not as easy as you would think...
Over Shields and Camos Rocket Launchers and Snipers are considered power ups... I was on Hang Em High and I see three explosions in about 10 seconds the Elite I was versing grabbed the inv. blew off the overshield that is on top... Ninja grabbed the Rocket Launcher (by jumping on the pillar next to it and jumping below it holding X)... grabbed the Overshield... Made his way up the ramp stood on top of the big base chucked his last grenade at the sniper Rifle and caught it!!!!!!
Here is why these things are important... woudl you rather fight and inv oversheild rocket launcher and sniper rifle or a guy with a pistol and no shields...
4. Covert Ops-
When you can not be seen you can't get shot... Blood gulch One v. One against an Elite...
I am running along and getting head shot every time I spawn or grab a power up.... I did not know where he was... Its an easy way to win... key to sniping One shot, One kill... No one sees you... Find dark places and High seldomly traveled places where you can see everything its great...
5. Good positioning-
This is all I am going to say is stay on high places, next to quick escapes incase you lose your shields, and next to power ups...
Some people call this newbie whe I am at a LAN party and I lose life or shields an run away come back with OVer Shield and Rockets and full life... But when you look at the score board in the end, lol, well when i only have one death on a 15 minute Odd Ball in Wizard versing 4 other poeple... they do not have much to say... though I must confess I put traits with the ball damage resistant and fast lol!!!!!!! Oh Well, one death is awesome...
So what do you think are the best tactics....
Well, as of now, accuracy and team work have been the top that everyone says are the most important. Though I would have to say I agree with the people that say team work is the most important, especially about being online and compensating for the lag, LAN parties usually do not have that problem, except KOH on prisoner when hill is bottom middle its just a sick thing with 16 people all of them throwing grendades and shooting AR, lol.
