Guys, being from Halo 2, I know a bunch of slang terms. As a matter of fact, here's all of the slang Halo (2) terms I know:

Nades (Human)
Stickies (Covenant)
Rocks
Shotty
Banshee
Ghost
Hog (machine-gun)
Rocket Hog
Snipes (human; remember that in Halo 2, there's a Covenant sniper rifle)
Flamer (new for me)

If anybody sends me a message about a "shee" or multiple "shees," I'm going to message then back, asking what the hell they mean, because I'm used to hearing the full word Banshee.

By the way, is a flamethrower used anything like a shotgun? Remember, I've never seen or used one before.

No because you have to get real close, and it takes time to travel... but be careful so you don't flame yourself. the plus side is if you hit someone it'll chew shields and armor stinkin fast.
Shee always means banshee

What do the initials BG CTF stand for?

Also, how do you:
Backpack reload
Quick camo
Get infinite ammo
Get invincibility

Blood gulch Capture the flag..

The rest is cheating, and you would need some sort of program that modifies the game.

The rest isn't cheating. Everyone in the game can do it.

Backpack reload. Press the reload button twice and then switch to your secondary. After a few seconds your primary is reloaded. Works on Xbox too.

Infinite ammo glitch works on Xbox but not on PC.

Invincibility? Pick up an overshield. You can't be killed for a second or two when your shield charges up.

*edit* Forgot quick camo.
Just fire a burst from your assault rifle, shotgun, plasma rifle immediately after picking up a camo.

INvincibility for potential max of 1.5-2 seconds... haven't been able to test it. however being paired with the infinite ammo gives it a very cheating connotation- so as to be used for a significant period of over 2 seconds
Bug exploitation technically falls under cheating.. but that one can pass as not cheating, it's really not to much of an issue, as you don't shave off that much time, except maybe with the shotgun.

Infinite ammo glitch doesn't work on the PC. What are you talking about something being used over 2 seconds?

also if you melee just as you put the clip into the weapon it finishes reloading faster.

handy for sniping.

The flamer kills within .5 of a second. Basically, if you run round a corner with a flamer and bump into someone, they're pretty much dead. It will kill anything within 5 meters, and nothing beyond that. Also, it needs some lead (surprisingly) and can cover you (ineffectively) from snipers. And looks cool. (When killed by flames, it is compulsory to say AIEEE IT BURNS LIKE FIRE!)

One thing is if I'm going to type something really short, like "lol" or something really tiny like that, I jump while I'm running, hit T or Y or whatever, type the message and then hit enter before I hit the ground. That way I never stop moving completely.

Of course, just like in H2, there's the hot spots you need to watch. Blood Gulch is insanely popular on HaloPC. In sniper matches, don't hang out on the roof of your base. Watch the hill waaaaaaay across the map and on your right, if facing out of your base. Campers sit there with just their heads visible, pop up, shoot, and then duck back down again. You can almost always find somebody over there. Also, the area around the corner to the left of your base can very easily get infested with opponents, and it gets reeeeaaally irritating. Ususally you need several people to help you clear it out and keep it that way.

Oh well, I'm just enjoying sounding like I know what I'm talking about. lol. Have fun dude, HaloPC rocks.

Oh, and by the way, some clans use something called Teamspeak. I'm not familliar with it, but it's basically voice chat for the PC.

*Edit* Also, the hog controlls a lot looser than in 2. It's like the Slide is on all the time, and it slips farther when you do a dougnut.
You can drive the Hog all the way into Blood Gulch bases. It's cheap, but you can use it to block your own doors, lol.
You can also crouch under a ghost if someone tries to splatter you with it. And someone correct me if I'm wrong (if anyone cares, lol), but I don't believe the ghost has the nose tilt in number 1. And one last thing--the tank has a cage instead of a hatch, so you can snipe through it. (Killing a tank driver with a Magnum rocks. lol)

if you hit jump while driving a ghost it drops the tail down. useful for splattering in theory. not sure what you mean by nose tilt tho

Oh, I thought it tilted the front end upwards. It drops the tail down? That makes more sense. That would compensate if someone tried to duck under your splatter then.

fastest way to reload : once you have just put in the new magazine/clip , switch weapons or press F .

Sniping tanks, eg off death island, is fun...

And with hogs when you're going off a big jump, make sure to swing your view around 180 degrees immediately before going off. Timed right and not obstructed by surrounding terrain, this technique will land your warthog perfectly every time.

How is Halo PC online? Remember, I usually play on my Xbox on Live on Halo 2.

My mouse is sort of slow; I realized this as I completed the very first mission of Halo. Is there any advice you Halo PC guys can give me for better control of Master Chief when walking around hallways and corridors?

Using an Xbox Controller S is so much easier...
If you want to spend the dough, I suggest you get a Xbox 360 controller. It was made for the 360 AND the PC.

i also discovered that if you let the accelerator up right as the front wheels leave the ramp the hog usually goes off nice and level. you do lose a bit of speed tho
