Subject: Tips for using a magnum in slayer?

I recently asked for tips on how to use a dmr. Ive been practicing lately and now im a beast with that gun. Now i need help on how i shoul use a magnum in classic slayer no tu because that is the game mode. The problem i have is that the same, the other person always seems to be shooting faster. I try using the same tactic i use for dmr but theres not enough ammo in a clip and the bullets go everywhere.

So what are strategies for taking down someone effectively with a magnum? If you could give me your gamertag and help me in the game that would be cool too.

Pace. Bloom actually works on that thing.

Fire more slowly because you can't get lucky bloom like on the DMR.

Don't use it. If you don't have a DMR or power weapon, find one.

If you can't, just sprint melee kids.

If you have any problems whatsoever that you are complaining about, please, stop complaining and get the f**k over it. :)

Boom headshot. Pace, working bloom. Possible, find DMR.

Pacing is sometimes too slow the other person will seem to spam and get me faster. I try to find DMR's if i can but they aren't always around.

Cover. In for kill, melee. Scope useful.

Why default, anyway? TU is so much better.

Exactly but most of the times when im battling in custom games they're ignorant and dont change to TU, so they leave it on classic ( WHICH I NEVER PLAY AND I ALWAYS SUCK) so im trying to practice some more.

Also how do u change the bloom settings in game options for custom games?

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

Figure out how to shoot faster than everyone else.

Watch your shots, because you'll be reloading before you know it and then you'll be dead.

bungie has proven that a bunch of monkeys sitting in front of keyboards can randomly type out a masterpiece. the thing is, when you go to play the masterpiece, you cant help but notice all the monkey s**t smeared all over it.

it gets real old having to wait months for someone like mlg to clean off all the monkey poo.

depends on the playlist. the one with

3sk, spam enabled:
see them first and spam into their chest as fast as you can.

5sk, spam enabled:
spam and punch at point blank, switch nades at medium/long range.

5sk, 85% spam enabled:
spam and punch at point blank, switch to nades at medium/long range.

5sk, no spam:
aim better then your opponant, and shoot them in the head.

I know what you mean but there is hardly any consistency in that approach. The retard probably fed you 10 kills because all he did was rush you and spam pistol shots willy nilly.

I know it's annoying, but 9/10 times the pacer will win, and really for Reach that is a remarkably consistent rate.

Anticipate where their momentum is going to take them and put your reticle there and shoot. Aim for the neck.

This sig will Self-Destruct in 3.... 2.... 1.... Thank you for your time. Cookie?

From experience, I've noticed that if you pace the Pistol against someone that spams the trigger, you'll probably win unless it's ZB and the guy is completely focused on your face.

Granted, this doesn't apply at really close distances; go for the spam if you're sure that the Bloom won't affect your accuracy, but I've found the best results if you're pacing.

Though, in all honesty, just get a DMR or a Needle Rifle when you can. The reliable accuracy and larger magazine often makes them better in these type of firefights.
