Maps I like: Turf, Avalanche, Pylon, Sandbox, Breakpoint and many more.
Ive got a few tips. I dont know if there good, but they work for me.
Getting power weapons: On the Pit, rarely will anyone go for the shotgun. Whenever you got here, it should be there. (Shotgun spawns in a blue room at the corner of the map).
Countering a Spartan Laser: If your teammate (Or you) are in a vechile, here is an easy way to kill a Laser guy.
If your teamate is in the vechile: Use AR or Br fire to distract him. %98 percent of the time, the laser person will stop charging and take cover, allowing your ally to quickly take down the enemy (or you to take him down).
If your in the vechile: Try to strafe of drive erraticly. Moving in crazy patterns throws the laser guy off-guard, which can make him waste his shot. Once his laser shot is taken (and your alive) go in for the kill.
Taking down a sniper: So, your in a game of Team slayer on last resort. Your being held off by a sniper. You cant move or retreat. What do you do? this.
If your whole team is taking cover: Send two people out; different places. Get one person to distract the sniper with BR or Ar fire (or any type of fire; i.e Brute shot, Carbine, needler ect.) while the other person goes around and tries to take the sniper from behind, or bombard the area with grenades (Or rockets Or brute shot rounds). If your the distracter, you oonly need 1 bullet to achieve your goal. As soon as the one bullet hits the snip, they zoom out, making them lose focus.
If one or two people are out in the map: Use the same disctract technique as before and get your teamate to try and kill the sniper close range. If your the roaming Teamate and you have a flare, drop it down and try and assasinate or melee the sniper to death (The flare blinds the sniper and the sniper sucks at close range, so he is defensless).
Easy way to take a warthog down with a BR: If your team is being cut down by an enemy Warthog, use this technique to take down a Warthog with only a BR.
If you have two teammates: Get one to try and stick the warthog to discract the gunner and Driver. Once disctracted, the gunner will be completely exposed to fire. 4 burst from a BR kill a player (If aimed at the head). Your teamate should ahve brought the shields down a bit, so it takes 1-2 shots to the gunner to kill him. The driver will be left defensless, allowing your team (or you) to move in for the kill.
If your by yourself: Try and stick the dirver to stop the warthog. If you cant, take cover and pop up to shoot at the Hog. Keep moving around, and in a few seconds (40-60) the Warthog should be critcally damaged and the driver and Gunner dead or serisouly vunerable.
The Dual wield combos: These combos have saved my life alot of times. I reccomend using them. These work well as not many actually use these weapons, leaving them plentiful around maps.
Plasma rifle+ Spiker: The Plasma rifle will strip the shield, and the spiker rips into the exposed armour. Takes roughly 4 seconds to kill an opponent.
Plasma rifle+ SMG: Same as before.
Plasma Pistol+ Magnum: This works well when against one opponent. Overcharge your pistol and get the headshot with the magnum.
Plasma Pistol+ SMG/Spiker: Same as the plasma rifle, just slower.
Mauler+ Plasma rifle/Plasma Pistol: This works well with plasma weapons and several enemies. Use your plasma weapon to rip shields off then use the mauler to take the killing blow.
These combos work wonders in small maps, but are limited in open maps (Like avalanche).
One final tip: Spike grenades= Instant kill on any vechile.
Heres another few tips I remembered:
On Rats nest, if you have the Grav lift and prefer to pick off people (With a BR or Carbine/Sniper) then use the Grav lift to launch yourself up onto the metal pipes hanging around the outside of the map. Not only will this keep you unnoticed and give you good cover, it also allows you to flank your enemies. Say a Warthog flips near you, you can drop down from the pipes and take them by surprise.
Standoff: If your playing CTF, always have a Warthog or mongoose ready. Say you have 8 players in BTB. Send a team of 3 into the enemy base to retrieve the flag or bomb. Then get 2 people defending the flag and switch. get one person ready in a warthog or mongoose, and the finl two players to kill and stragglers left from a form of attack from your own warthog (Or people trying to sneak around the map). Once the objective is captured, get one person to open the doors and the Warthog person to drive around to the rear entrance. The two players will defend the objective carrier, one will get on the turret and the other will remain behind to hold off any enemy attacks. This can lead your team to victory quickly.
Regenerator tips: So you pick a regenarator and dont know what to do with it. Well heres a few tips on how to turn it into a weapon.
Discration: Your trying to get an enemys flag. Chuck your regenerator near an Entrance. The enemy players will leave to investigate, leaving the back (or front) entrance open. Swoop in, grab the flag, get out.
Base defense: Say your defending the gate on High ground. Chuck down a regenrator and your team has instant shield rechargment when they get hit. The attack enemies arent so lucky.
Distraction again: Your on Guardian (Or any map with a lift). Chuck your regenator into the lift then get a few teamates to hit the front of the lift (Say its Guardian, get your teamates to jump across from the middle to hit the lift from the front). The enemy will be looking at the lift 90 percent of the time, allowing easy assasination.
Power weapon risks: This is a risky tip, but its effective. If someone shoots a rocket at you, try and throw a grenade near it. It will throw the rocket out of whack, sending it towards the sky. This allows you to easily kill the rocket person, as they will likely think they killed you. Catch them off guard with a few shots from your weapon.
You can also try this. When a rocket is going towards you, jump to the left or into a hallway that goes up (Or down). The rocket will throw you backwards, draining your shields, but you wont die (If done correctly). Chuck a grenade or two down or up the ramp to get a quick kill.
ALWAYS JUMP WHEN FIRING ROCKETS. This will ensure you dont get hurt by the splash damage, but also makes you a harder target to hit.
Sticky madness: Throw a stick grenade at the roof if an enemy is walking through a doorway. The grenade will drop down (if its a sticky) and will land on there head. Stuck. This requires lot of skill and luck, so it is very risky.
Splatter: if your in a Warthog, try to powerslide onto an enemy. Not only will you have the same force, but you have a wider mass, making it harder to avoid your warthog.
If you manage to get inside a Warthog passenger seat (With an enemy driving) Melee the drive by looking at them and pressing B (If your on the defualt setting). If someone gets on your warhog gunner, try to drive off a cliff, but at the last minute jumping out. The warthog will roll a few metres befor stopping. It will make the gunner go off the cliff. You lose your warthog, but take down a dangerous enemy.
