Yeah, I'm currently using my older computer, which has the ball on top, and both the mouse and entire computer system are, like, 4-5 years old. However, the laser "Microsoft" mouse would be really sweet for Halo PC. Excellent mobilitty on the laser mouse.
Also, my mom is buying me Halo PC today from BestBuy, as the copy of Halo PC I have currently is a burned copy of a burned copy of an original Halo PC game disc. I should be playing on the new Halo PC disc Thursday afternoon, Friday morning, etc.
Look for games with the lowest ping count, as they usually have the least amount of lag... the more lag you have in a game the more you have to lead your shots. Even in a nil lag game you still have to lead your shots as the bullets DO take time to cover the distance to your target.
Technically in war and love anything goes... but nothing really beats going to the low of being a team killer (so if you are going to be one, you are lower than crap that's been dropped in hell)... besides it's fun blowing the crap out of a TK. That being said, don't shoot people to get their attention, and be very tolerant of being teamkilled (it could be accidental- so you don't want to start a TK war on your team- those just ruin games).
so if you find a weapons combo that you love go for it-
= here are some really good weapon combos;
Pistol and sniper- master these and you will be just mean
Pistol and Fuelrod cannon- this is a great anti vehicle set up and you can control significant portions of open areas from all incursions. just make sure to watch out for snipers and the occasional traveling rocket.
Rocket Launcher and Fuel Rod- Great for an initial assualt, but once things start getting tight you'll be wishing for another weapon (unless you don't care about ammo, suicide, or dying that much)
Shotgun and Plasma rifle- great for very close fighting, and for taking out flying vehicles (...), however beware of people with pistols and snipers at distance- if they are decent you will get screwed out in the open before you can close distance to be effective.
Pistol and Assault Rifle- just a nice all round combo- once ytou drop someones shields with the pistol you can lay into him with the AR, also remember the AR has a greater range than the pistol.
If you're going to use a vehicle, always keep it moving so you don't get sniped. if you're going to hog a banshee, use it to support your team, don't fly to the other base first thing without any support- experienced players will take it out in no time flat, so all you're doing is giving the opposing team another banshee. Another use for the banshee is Home base defense in CTF games- it helps to bring down opponents getting away in other vehicles, and if you die, it's there for your team to pick up.
