Okay let me start my saying I am no newbie to Halo. I've been playing for about 2 years now. I have completed the game on legendary several times (yeah I know not a big deal). I know the MP maps blah blah blah, you get the idea. When it comes to weapons, I really want to get better with the pistol. I'm okay with it. I can usually kill someone without firing more than 5 or 6 shots. But there is someone I know (he doesn't even have the game!) that seems to get perfect 3 shot kills every time, from any range. I can only get them at closer ranges. But with him its bam-bam-headshot...bam-bam-headshot nearly every time. Do any pistol masters have any advanced tips for me? (I know the basics, have a lead on your target at longer ranges etc.) Any help would be very appreciated.

Ok, get a sniper rifle with your pistol, take a look at your enemy far away with the sniper if he's standing still point the sniper rifle at his head take out the pistol(Don't leave the zoom mode when changing) then pull the trigger. Should be dead in 3 shots.

practice practice practice. go through all the 1 player missions using only the pistol. just get so good at it you can kill in 4 shots without even thinking. then, get better so you can do it 3. oh, and make sure you can aim really well so you can get headshots every time. it does about twice as much damage as a torso shot.

In cases like that, i prefer to just pop them in the head with the sniper rifle. Theres nothing like a cold, calculated one hit kill to piss people off. Good advice for if you have a sniper rifle but no ammo though....

umm.. it only takes two body shots, then a head shot with a pistol to kill soemone so aim for the body then then the head and ender is right if you do campagne with just the pistol is good for improvement

Thanks for the help, guys. Although that trick with the sniper rifle wouldn't work for me since my opponents are always on the move heh heh. I appreciate the help though.

The pistol has a range from about beside the telepoters on bg to where they lead to. If you can get that much right and have a great view of the screen you should be gg also aim for there heads if you can't then shoot there groin. lol

set a game to 400 health no shield pistols only
it will teach you to aim for the head and add all invisible and no radar to improve your awareness

if someone does that to you run under them and smack them when they land
also after getting shot once or twice duck to avoid the 3rd shot
always aim for the head body shots make you readjust your aim for the kill

When firing don't hold down the trigger. From a distance the accuracy is really bad. squeeze the trigger for every shot and the accuracy is greatly improved!

  • 08.30.2004 11:06 PM PDT

bah

Aim just slightly above the head when taking the third shot. If their head is centered, you'll most likely hit their chest at longer ranges.

Also know that no one is a perfect 3 shot master. If you can get about 50-50 4 and 3 shot kills, you're gold. People getting all 3 shot kills is a sign of them playing to close together in the map. Don't wait to get close, just start shooting from the very limit of your range.

I dont leave home without my trusty Pistol. Best way to get someone is when you see them immediatly line up with the head when your zoomed and start firing keeping careful aim on the head. Youll usually get off enough shots to get rid of their shield before they can get a good aim at you. By then youll have em dead. Thats the way I do it. You just gotta have good eyes and watch out for movment anywhere.

go to any level with alot of hinters and grab a pistol ( sc is good for the 2 hunters in the middle) and try to shoot them on that little orange spot on there neck for record any orange spot on the hunter is there weakest shoot them there for instant kill keep doing that then go to AotCR and the part with the two bridges shoot the hunters on the other side with the pistol
