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

Use your thumbs.

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

Use the DMR. Learn to strafe, learn to five shot (4 shots to anywhere on the player, 1 shot to their head). Thats pretty much it, the rest relies on your ability to have good reflexes and quick thinking.

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

Go into forge and look at all (or some) of the maps. Fly around and find all the power weapon spawns and timers, as well as areas with lots of respawn points and things like that. This will allow you to predict weapon spawns and know where your enemies are coming from after you kill them.

Learn to strafe when facing DMR users, a short strafe at close range, long strafe at long range. Use the motion tracker, but don't glue your eyes to it and not pay attention. Only get into situations that you are confident you can win.

For example, if you finish killing one guy and you have a tiny bit of shield left, and another guy starts rushing you with his AR, should you engage? NO. You are weak and will lose no matter how you fight. Run away in this situation. In time you'll develop a sort of "sixth sense" as I call it, and you'll be able to predict your enemies and the course of the battle.It's be a force to be reckoned with.

**EDIT** Also, find a friend who you can octagon. download a TU Slayer DMRs gametype from recent history, download any octagon map, and 1v1 him as much as you can. It'll help you withy your accuracy, strafe, and pacing your shots. You'll both become better players, and a little bragging rights is always nice too.

There is alot of helpful advice on youtube (although alot of them are falsely labeled as tips, they are actually somebody trying to show off a good game IE: commentary). No single video has the best tips but all offer genneraly the same info.

Pace your DMR/Needle rifle/ Pistol shots to help control bloom.
Try not to engage in lopsided firefights with enemies IE: 2v1 3v1, generaly staying out of any situation where you are at an immidiate disadvantage.

Thats all i can really offer.
Good luck in matchmaking.

Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.
