Subject: Lone Wolves 50 tips?

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

Hey everyone! I'm trying to reach my 50 in Lone Wolves, but I seem to be stuck around 46. I mostly play generals now, but the trouble is, a few lower-ranked players will show up in the matches with 50s, and I lose so badly I drop pretty significantly. If anyone could help me out, that would be great. I just need some tips for the different modes/maps, and anything I might have missed that the pros use. Of course, past 45, I think it mostly just comes down to pure skill, not knowledge, but it couldn't hurt. If you have any gameplays to help me out, that's awesome too. I've been thinking of searching for "prefer skill" just so I don't have to play low ranks. It's really a lose-lose situation: If I win, the game expects it, and I don't go up. If I lose, the game makes me pay dearly for it. If you have any practice modes or maps that would, feel free to mention them too.

Search for shadowzkiller on youtube. He has a bunch of gameplays of LW's with commentary.


Yeah, I've viewed most of them, I really like his commentaries. I've also used his guide!

Something Canada will never do.

if you're stuck at 46 don't even try to go for the 50, no offence.


LW was the most annoying 50 ever, it took so many wins to go from 49-50. it's really frustrating, just play something else.

Agreed. I would recommend getting a partner and going in to TD - it's the easiest 50 you can get. Team Slayer isn't hard either (with the right teammates), but it's not as easy as Doubles.

i think lw is actually quite easy, but honestly i am NOT the person to ask for strategies. all i did from 1-45 was stat whore and then from 46-50 i rushed still went hella positive sometime but just MADE SURE i got 2 kills before dying cuz in the end kd spread doesnt matter only the 1st and 2 place, 3rd place is fine
for tips tho im not sure this helps so sry if it wastes ur time,
slayer- rush all game
slayer brs- be protective and ensure power weapons
king of hill- try to get camo and just crouch in hill
oddball- bubble shield :)))
swords (epilogue)- rush bottom mid and keep ur finger on rb :)
if u pm me i can put some of my lw gameplay on my fileshare:))
u mite be able to learn from that

Just play smart, sit back and kill people who are in battles and take advantage of every power weapon you get. Also consistency is vital.

I'd love to see some gameplay! I just need to watch players who are better than me. Also, considering how late in the game I'm trying to reach 50, I mostly play against total monsters, but go down significantly, since the ranking system is only based on the ranking discrepancy, not actual rank.

None taken. I'd love to be able to play TD or TS, but I simply don't have the team. None of my friends are into Halo anymore. Also, I'd rather not just get carried to 50. There's no pride in it if it wasn't my skill that got me there. I suck at snipers, and swat just doesn't do it for me. It's more that I'm stuck with Lone Wolves than anything else. If I'm trying to get better at the game, would you suggest I keep playing LW, or just switch to MLG to improve?
P.S. I've only been stuck on 46 for about a week and a half, I don't know if that makes a difference.

you don't really need a team for TS/TD, or anything really. having a good friend helps a lot though., i got all my 50s searching alone or in 2s. 3s/4s is harder.


IMO if you want to get better play slayer or MLG. pretty much all i play ranked anymore is slayer and MLG. sometimes doubles.

I'm not making excuses. I never claimed to be good. I have never played any colonel better than me though.

lol, I miss you guys hating on me. FYI- you dont when 5000/5400 Lone Wolves games by crouching... nor do you keep a 50 the entire time. It's called strategy. You crouch when needed and out BR kids when needed. I get PM's daily from players who have taken my tips and used then to get from a 45-50 in Lone Wolves.

Thanks very much! I've used most of your videos before. We've encountered each other in LW 5 or 6 times now, I'd say. I lost, needless to say.

I'll probably try some MLG, TD seems to give me the idiots who spray me in the back with an AR all game....

Before you gamestalk me, my H3 Exp is boosted because I'm not playing 5000 games again like I did on my main account for my 5 star. I AFKed and Grif boosted wtih supers0ak to get to Inheritor since I'm impatient when it comes to processional ranks. Nothing in Reach shows skill unless you play with the person anyways.

Took me about 40 games of straight wins to go from 49-50.

Seriously try something else.

I find that most players who call me bad are just upset that 9/10 I beat them. They normally fileshare a single kill on me even though they lost by 12 kills. Oh and I get called bad by 4-5 kids in party after they boost in oddball and KOTH against me. I guess that makes me bad, lol... Either way I do have the best Halo 3 Stats in the game so their statements are false. :P

Was my statement unclear? "best Halo 3 Stats"... You don't keep good stats playing MLG. I enjoy playing for stats and I'm the best at what I do. Watching Reach MLG is boring but I'm sure the guys you mentioned are good at what they do.
