The Poll "question" is did this method work for you, and you veterans to decide if you think this will work
The "answers" labelled Veterans are how the vets can vote on how they think this method will work.
The "answers" labeled Tester are how those who want to try the Practice and see if it works.

However, i am posting this for those few and far between people who for some reason have yet to think of this, what I call...
HALO PRACTICE MODE
This is done for my fellow pathetic players who need some help playing Halo Matchmaking, or you mighty veterans who think this may help you kick even more colossal ass in the future, doubt it, but that is up to you.
First this is done in Firefight, just a local Firefight, not Xbox Live.
First Create a custom Firefight game with your shields invulnerable(Wait for the reason), select Game Options at the Firefight Main Menu and it should be pretty easy to find what you need to do from there. From there, set the skill to Heroic (or Legendary, but Heroic works better at the beginning) and then change all the waves nothing but Elites, Generals, Spec OPS (the SO Elites help with neutralizing the imbalance of Active Camouflage by teaching you to spot its invisible traces easier)
Most importantly however are the Heretics, Heretics use Human Weapons such as the Heretic Snipers and Heretic Heavy Weapons. This will help because, players generally prefer Human weapons and you are most of the time going to be fight people using human weapons, though make sure you don't all Heretics cause you still need to learn how fight Covenant weapons, as players using this is not real rare just not as common as human weapons.
Then set your Loadouts to whatever weapons you feel you need the most practice with, for me it was the Assault Rifle, or the Sniper Rifle and just keep fighting elites improving my marksmanship and learning the best way to attack a shielded opponent with that particular weapon.
Once you feel you have gotten the marksmanship skill down well enough, remove the invulnerability of your shields, and turn the Catch skull on in all waves, so you can learn NOT TO GET HIT, (which is my biggest flaw in MM, which by the way is the main reason my BPR is so low, I still need to work on it, but I am getting better, bit by bit, so do not give up).
Also remember that AI controlled Elites don't fight the same way a human controlled Spartan will and they are la bit taller so you need to compensate by lowering your gun just a bit if aiming for the head, when fighting actual players, but they are very similar in how to remove their shields, and they will fire just as much as human players will if not more, (Especially on Legendary) so learning to dodge them rather than players online make make you dodge things the other players cannot even do, which is ALWAYS a good thing.
The best thing about this Practice mode is you can do it by yourself as long as you want and surprise your friends with your improvement.
(Damn, I sound like an Infomercial don't I? BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE!! CALL NOW AND YOU GET THIS KNIFE WITH REAL STAG HORN HANDLE, I know what you are thinking folks, but no not the cheaper Manticore horn, but genuine STAG HORN, I've got the specs right here and I'll tell you what, this is the real deal. )
Kudos to whoever gets that "little joke"
Double Kudo's to anyone who actually READ all THAT. I would not have read the first two paragraphs if I had come across another person's thread with an OP this long,
2x Kudo's to you young man (or woman), even if you just read it so you can insult me better, Kudo's to you, you are one brave little toaster.
Thank you, and I hope this helps anyone out there who is struggling.
P.S. this actually DID help me, I was that pathetic, look at me now, now try to image how I was THEN.
*shudders*
Dark Days... Dark Days indeed.
Anyway, other players who also feel pathetic and are too embarrassed to try and improve by playing MM, like myself, can use this without feeling self-conscious about their lack of skill.
P.S.S. If you get lost trying to create this game just post here and i will tell you where everything is in the Firefight Game Options menu, Remember not a single player on this forum knew what the h*** they were doing when they first played Halo either, so do not feel worried about posting here.
