I never really seen a thread that had a good amount of tactics so i decided to help some people out and do it myself. A little background of my self: Im undefeated in any halo multiplayer games when im by myself. One time i went up against 12 ppl and beat them. However im not undefeated when playing team games. I had halo rite when it came out with the xbox in 2001. So basically im an experienced player who loves to play. Now done with the chit chat lets get to the point of the post and to the tactics. They are:

-Always Reload after a fire fight.
-Preferably speed reload, by pressing X and as soon as u see the clip inserted into the gun punch Y twice and the gun will be reloaded. It shave a second or two off reloading time.
-Shoot down upgrades from ledges
-Always if possible throw all your grenades if you know you are about to die.
-To avoid loss of health when jumping down from tall points crouch rite before you land. In many cases you will not lose any health but in the extreme cases you will only lose a little shield. This art takes practice.
-To jump a tad higher press the crouch button at the peak of your jump. You may be able to get to some places where u normally cant.
-Use the flashlight to help distinguish invisible players along with the covenant. Some Multiplayer maps do not allow flashlights for some odd reason.
-When you sneak up on someone instead of wasting ammo or grenade melee him with one hit to the back. This will instantly kill the target.
-When using the rocket always aim for the feet of the target. Not the body or head.
-Keep in mind that your invincible when you pick up an overshield and while its charging up.
-Always pump two pistol bullets into the body of a target and then finish him off with one between the eyes.
-Remeber pistols are extremly more accurate with single pulls of the trigger. Not with the trigger held in.
-If you know someone is chasing you through narrow hallways throw a grenade at your feet so you walk over it and the guy that is following you gets a little present in his face.
-When needed use vehicles to block teleporters. Good CTF strategy. However remember that this limits your movement also.
-An obvious tip is never stand still in the open.
-When sniping always change sniping spots after every kill or it will only be a matter of time when you will be eliminated.
-Always know your surroundings. See if an upgrade or weapon is missing. If so make sure you warn your team mates.
-Never go into battle without shields. Let your shield regenerate before moving into unknown waters.
-To kill a tank use the ghost. With the ghost keep circling the tank while your shotting it and all awhile ur avoiding the turret.
-If you do not have a ghost to kill a tank use any alien plasma weapons. All alien plasma weapons slows vehicles and people down.

If you have any other tactics feel free to post them here. Also tell me what you think about this list.

No they dont

Otherwise, great thread. I have to say i knew it all and its good to know that others are in the same boat, i cant wait to play you in MP. I know i can think of other tactics as well as you can, but for now, you've covered many main points and very important issues:)

I would love to play MP with you when the new Halo comes out but where i live is in the woods of pennslyvania and without access to high speed internet. How ever if the thing about having 4 ppl on XBL on one console is true than i could play you when im at my friends house who lives closer to civilization. I will be looking for you.

Look for me too, Shadedhalo. I am pretty sure that I'm better than the 12 noobs you beat 1v12 combined. That had to be so easy, why would you brag about it? Overall good tactics, but nothing you shouldn't learn within the first week or two of playing. Your reload trick is wrong, xxy then wait a second works much easier. There is also a lot more things that I could cover but no point in it, not enough ppl read these threads. On Halo 2 on XBL my sign in will probably be KU-Shade.. I'll be more than happy to show you and your buds what domination is all about. :)

Wow zakky, you think you are pretty good, don't you. Just so ya know, playin 1-12 gives you a HUGE advantage. You have 12 people to kill all over the level, and they have to find a single person. You pretty much throw 2 nades, chances are one of them hits someone.

unbeaten eh? if u have an xbc screen name id like to know it so i can play u, mines angrysk8r88

also some more tactics are:
remember respawn points, get a sniper headshot wen they are respawned
use the rocket launcher as bait, people will flood to it like flies
an obvious one, the AR SUX
ALWAYS at least try to carry a pistol w/ u at alllll times, it comes in very handy
use the double melee, press B then L then B as fast as u can, comes very handy in close range
never never ever camp when you are sniping, its useless, its easy to find people who are and easy to pick them off
learn how to blow the rocket launcher to you w/ grenades, itll save u, also learn the same w/ the sniper

we r?

an obvious one, the AR SUX

Uhhhh, no, it's quite effective. I can take out someone with 20 rounds, and melee. Short bursts, to the head, = dead opponents. Very accurate if used CORRECTLY!
Always strafe when using plasma rifle
Reload
Short range and long range weapons mixed together
Have large clip weapons that are effective (pistol and shotgun are good combo).

when using this technique, if you can, jump in the air before you shoot at their feet. this will let you get a good shot at them, so if you miss their feet it will still explode near them and it will probably kill them

not really, the AR still sux, u can take out people w/ the pistol in 3 shots faster than u can put out 20 AR bullets to the head, its the worst out of all the guns in multiplayer (except the needler, its even more useless in mp), and if you want to try out your theory that the AR is a good weapon, get on xbc

i would beg the differ about anyone that can win against twelve ppl. There is no way noobs or even average ppl can beat 12 ppl, especially if the twelve camps out on respawn points. Again i dont want to get into an argument of who is better and who sucks cus its easy talk the talk but not walk the walk. Again you could say well i just talk the talk well i cant prove it untill H2, so bak on track. Yes there are more tactics out there but if you know so many please enlighten us. I know i didnt feel like staying up all night typing them.

Yeah ur tactics r good... i wondered if there are any anti- vehicle tactics in the situation u are on foot... more detailed than tanks u use plasma weapons or the anti-vehicle rocket launcher... for some reason no-one can run me down in a warthog... and all i do is anticipate every movement, and if i can see a good chance i'll be run down i'd throw a grenade on that pathway id think they'd take... i find myself laughing whenever someone tries, especially if i have appropiate equipment (shotgun, plasma pistol, plasma rifle, frag + plasma greneade, rocket launcher). ghosts r much harder 2 evade however.... i was told if u crouch when a ghost approaches they'll go right ova u... it don't work but u have little other choice seeing as the plasma slows u down preventing escape.... scorpion tanks r a joke if they arent targating u... greneades are the only thing u can do really cause of their armor... anyway any thoughts?
