CONTRARY TO POPULAR OPINION YOU DO NOT [/]B HAVE TO LEAD YOUR SHOTS.
Now this may come as a shock to all of you *audience gasps*, but you don't need to lead your shots.You need to [b]learn how to aim . Ok, let me explain to everybody that halo's netcode isn't as bad as some might think. Let me also explain that bungie puts cluse into it's games to help out the smarter gamers. The pistols targetting recticle (let's call this the TR for short), has a circle, in the xbox version of halo, this is usually seen as very accurate, but you can actually achieve extreme accuracy at long distances. The four lines pointing to the center of the recticle, mean to AIM FOR THE CENTER OF THE RECTICLE YOU CLOCKHEAD! I mean exact center, this goes the same for all weapons. People complain about the netcode, but yet that is because they just don't know how to play halo. The AR, has a broken circle, with the same lines pointing to the center, which means, AIM FOR THE FRICKING CENTER. You do have to lead when aiming at vehicles however, but by a small margin and it must be directly in front of the vehicle, the direction the vehicle is moving. The banshee, you must aim for the thick part of it, the very front, I call it the 'pod'. Aim for the center of the window shield on the warthog (when you lead you should be pointing at the distance between the headlights on the hog). Also, there are other clues in the targetting recticles, PARENTHESES indicate which crosshair to use. For example, the ghost's bullets fire one blast at center but all the others are side by side. There may be a small arrow pointing to the center, but that is not where you aim. It is dangerous to get close to a ghost, because at a certain range the bullets overlap, and both will hit you. Ghosts must also lead. Note the parentheses, aim for the center of one of the two circles, and I guarantee your hit count will go up dramatically. The same goes for the FRG, two parantheses parenthesize the horizontal lines, meaning aim for the lines. Aim for the center of the crosshair, the center lines should line up with the land you are aiming for!
Also, for grenades, aim about one inch down from your crosshair, and remember the grenade will travel from the left hand.
Thank you, and good night, happy halo hunting.
Stop posting that crap!! You have to lead... period. You're making lots of people confused with this.
