I decided to whip up a short little guide for people that want to get better but don't know how to start.

Choose your encounters. Whenever you see an enemy, try to plan ahead so that you can tip the scales to your favor as much as possible. This could mean dropping a nade under their feet before you fire your gun or having a teammate nearby so you can double-team them. It's all just a matter of engaging primarily in battles when you have the upper hand until you get good enough to fight practically anybody at any given time.

Know when to fight. Like I mentioned above, always try to stay and fight whenever you have the upper hand. If you have a teammate standing there with you, help him shoot the guy so that you can kill him faster instead of just crouching around some random corner trying to get a cheap kill.

But also know when to run. If you are down a couple of shots, chances are you won't be able to win your next encounter. If somebody is on your tail, book it out of there and try to run towards your teammates to let them cover you. Don't ever engage in a fight when you are at a disadvantage because you're essentially giving the other team a free point.

Chasing. God this is one of the most annoying things ever. The rule of thumb here is to never do it unless you know you can get the kill. Letting them get away is a bit disheartening at times, but it's better than giving the other team another point if you somehow end up dead. The best thing to do at this point is to call them out, and maybe chuck a few nades for good measure, then continue on your way. If you yourself are being chased, try to get behind corners and walls to minimize the amount of shots you take. Toss a few grenades around the corner to slow them down or stop them completely. Or, if they still chase you after you hit them with those grenades, they'll hopefully be weak enough for you to be able to clean them up.

Master the DMR (or, if you prefer, the NR). Get good with this thing because it'll be the most effective and versatile weapon in your arsenal (aside from power weapons of course). Personally, I like to spam the first few shots to the body, pause for a short while to let the reticle reset a bit, then go for the headshot. However, if you know that you're going to die anyways with no option to flee the battle, you should spam as many shots to the body as possible to weaken them. That way, you can call them out and a teammate can potentially clean them up.

Communicating with your team. I cannot stress this enough. Call out everything. Weapon spawn times, enemy positions, how many there are, what weapons they have, how much shields and health they have, etc. Not only should you call out everything, you should focus on responding to those callouts as well. Every map has callouts for virtually every location. Learn them.

Timing the power weapons/power-ups. Power weapons are a must if you want to succeed in Reach. ALWAYS TIME THEM. They could mean the difference between a win or a loss, especially during the last 10 or so kills. Generally, they spawn every 2-3 minutes but vary according to the map. Learn them.

Setting up and obtaining map control. Remember those games where no matter where you went, you always got shot at or even killed? That's when the other team has taken map control. That means that your team needs to coordinate a push to take them down. You usually want to take out the guys with the power weapons first (sniper, rockets, etc) to make the job a little easier. This is where teamshooting comes into play. Learning the spawns is crucial to getting and maintaining map control.

Well, this is pretty much all I have for now. I may write some more later if this goes well, so have at it.

Hey, uh, if you like vs threads, then check out this little group right here, if you have the time. It's pretty fun, just hop right in.

Let me put it like this.

Halo is 50% aiming, and 25% knowing to stay the hell out of a fight. And 25% having a better weapon.

If you suck at the former, you MIGHT be able to get by on the latter; given your .60 K/D the people you face will likely have just as bad/worse aim than you. By merely avoiding a hopeless conflict and pulling rockets while the other guys have the pebble rifle - oh, sorry, 'assault rifle', you'll appear to be a god among players. At least until you meet more skilled Halo fans.

I would tell you to join here, but we don't take kindly to bronies.

PM San and he will probably let you in. That group is a good place to get tips from better players and possibly play with them.

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.
