I'm not complaining, but I will be narrating my online experience today:

I stopped playing Halo, like everyone else has. I picked it up a week ago and I am stuck on level 48 in TS. I will neither rank up or rank down. So I always go in there alone and, winning is impossible. Three guys come on to you at once and there is no way you are getting out alive.
I played in narrows for example, and I honestly put the controller down to think about options on how to get out of my spawn point. Everyone else on my team was doing great, but I was the only guy getting killed. Seriously, I have no idea on how to avoid those grenades or kill a guy because his teammate spawns behind me.

The game is fun but the reason the community has reduced in size so heavily is because playing against these opponents is not fun. SO NOT FUN.

Well I'm not that great at Halo but I'll try and give you some tips, most of which I haven't gotten down myself but I'm trying to.

In my opinion being a good Halo player ( and not just good but great ) is comprised of the following: Awareness, patience, positioning, teamwork, and the instant decisions you make in-game. Then, of course, your individual skill.

One thing you need to realise is that being simply good or even great individually isn't enough when you are playing at high levels. Your BR may be sick, your snipe may be clutch, but when your opponents are high level ( 48+ ) then they almost certainly have great BRs and snipes too. That's where you need to focus on your positioning, so you always have the advantage over your opponents. It's also where you need to focus on out-thinking your opponents. Never try and force a 1 on 1 battle with someone, because they most likely have a solid aim too and you can die like a coin toss. Instead, focus on staying with your team, putting shots in and take the opportunities for kills when they present themselves.

Never chase unless you are 100 percent sure the kill is yours, and there are no more enemies nearby. Never give up your position to chase down a kill. Halo is all about patience, don't get too eager because it will most likely result in you dying without a kill or going 1 for 1 which isn't good enough.

Also when it comes to out-thinking your opponents: you want to get the jump on your enemy. Use your surroundings to make sure you catch your opponent off guard, even if it's as simple as jumping out from cover when they aren't expecting it. This will most likely give you the first shot which is absolutely crucial.

Also learn the spawns ( in TS this will be in correlation to where you and your team are if they are dynamic ) and LEARN power weapon spawn times because power weapons are what make and break a game's outcome. Work with your team to ensure you get the power weapons. Teamwork is vital for winning.

Hope I helped.

I went outside today. The graphics were AMAZING. The gameplay WASN"T.

Maybe I should cry for help
Maybe I should kill myself
Blame it on my ADD baby

You are searching at one of the higher levels of gameplay... If you haven't played in a while, you shouldn't be expecting to do good...

Tips:
- Stay with a teammate usually works out pretty well unless the guy you are trying to kill somehow picks up rockets and screws over both of you.
-Playing defensive is a good option because 3 times out of 4 the people you play against are aggressive artards and will run at you guns blazing and a well placed grenade and headshot will end them
-put shots on the opposing team no matter how far away you are because just a little bit of damage to them can make all the difference
-on maps like sandbox equipment is your best friend so make sure you have a bubble or regen on maps that have them in abundance.
-Try to have a good team shot this can make all the difference especially on narrows and standoff
-drop an ar for the plasma rifle on maps that have it. ( This gun will literally R@pe someones shield and leave them prone to die from a beat down)
-lastly try not to be by yourself always make sure you know where your teammates are.

But even if that is true, H3 is still better than Reach, even if the only good games you get are set up customs with friends.

Yes. I am a Battle Rifle machine. The DMR is a poor replacement.

Just focus on surviving and stealing your teammates' kills. Never put your life on the line unless absolutely needed. Being the supporting fire in Team Slayer helps your K/D and rank progress. And yes this is cheap and "nooby" but it works and is a strategy.
