Subject: How long does it take to become good?

Posted by: Lahchance
In my opinion, it depends on what you do to better yourself.
I had HaloCE/3/ODST long before I could finally buy Xbox live, and the countless hours of replaying levels in the campaign/firefight on legendary helped me.

When I finally got live, I was able to beat those who were at my 'level' with no difficulty, until I hit my personal 'wall' at LVL30. So now I really have to think and analyze before I step through that man cannon, or make sure I'm reloaded before walking around that corner, among other things.
I played offline all the time. I had nobody to play with. YouTube and the campaigns helped me out.

Ok
-look PRO gameplays (INSTINC, FINAL BOSS, etc...)
-stay always at the back and never go alone on team games
-practice with the BR and the strafe
-try to have a good connection ;)
-best weapon combination is BR and Sniper
-don´t do random grenade throws etc...
-With the sniper the most important isn´t to get a snipe medal, is to get the kill
-if you move crouching people can´t see u in the radar
-JUMP, you have to be a hard target all time, jump to make snipers go crazy
-If u have to kill an sniper STRAFE don´t be RAMBO or he will break your crane with a bullet...

I´m better on Halo Reach than in Halo 3 but i still good

Half of the time I'm dead serious.
The other half not so much.

HA I remember when I first got Halo 3 I didn't know that you could manually reload for about a month!

  • 04.24.2011 12:34 PM PDT

I'm not completely new. I played Halo 2 online back in the day. I just never played Halo 3 that much.

I'm going to retire from Halo 3 soon, so I guess I can teach you everything I know.... send a friend request to "Shanked" and I'll get you better in no time.
My mic isn't working properly. I will be playing online later.

Nopeurbad.

You're full of yourself. Get a 50.

Was at one point, in the Top .87% in Competitive for reach. Then I quit.

A 2.85 KD on a new account at level 17 seems high for a legit 30...I thought you were trolling with this thread. If that really is where your skill is at here is my advice.

First and foremost, don't listen to any one who is not at a significantly higher skill level than you (a lot people in this thread). This is very important.

Second. Play, play and play some more. Make sure it is competitive games against players at or slightly above your skill level. (ranked is easiest, obviously). Don't waste time in social, don't waste time messing around in customs, don't waste time on campaign. Ranked. Period.

Third, this game is about control. Control the power weapons, control the power ups, control the map. Learn when everything spawns and grab them.

There are a lot of specifics that are better said once you have some experience.

Notice the absence of an answer to OP's question. I think that says enough.
