Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Get some friends, set up a Juggernaut game, and give them double damage. That way you have to shoot quick or die.

Black Ops 2 I run two accounts warmup only at 1.97kdr...real is at 3.77. i'm in master division 4 league play. pm 4 clan inv...must have 2.5 kdr or better

Sorry, I suck with BR. I spam it coz works, but it's odd that many times after I get a kill my gun shoots one or one and a half more shots after I let go of the trigger. I don't think my controller sucks. I think that's just do to the fact I spam.

BR has always been my weakest skill out of the major things. I've been struggling with melees recently (mostly forward ninjas), but for the most part I still win a vast majority of them.

My only tip which works for me is to spam the hell out of the BR.

"What are we holding on to, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, and it's worth fighting for."

The very first thread I ever made was actually about this topic, and I got some great help then, so I feel obliged to help out here.

First off, you should play MLG. A LOT!!! It requires a strong BR and good awareness, which you'll develop just by playing the playlist. Play with people better than you in customs whenever you can; it will be frustrating at first, but you'll adapt quickly if you stay focused.

Next, team shot. If you have two BRs against one, you're going to win. Stick with a teammate as much as you can and focus and listening to each other's callouts; you'll often be able to clean up weak enemies or team shot an enemy and you'll pick up a lot of free kills that will really benefit your team. This is even more important than having an individually strong BR.

Strafe: This is where it gets a little trickier. The important thing to remember while having a BR duel is to keep moving in different directions. I often catch my less skilled friends just moving in a sideways line and calling it a strafe. That's almost exactly the same as walking straight towards me in a line; be sure to move from side to side constantly. At first it will be hard to focus on doing that many things at once, but strafing can save you a lot of deaths if you focus. Here's a video on the topic to show you a few different strafes:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qOXXreOXlVI

Aim your first 3 shots for the body and the last one for the head. You've probably heard this already a ton of times, but it really is the best way to improve. It's much easier to land shots to the torso as opposed to the head; as you improve you'll naturally aim for the head more often, but for now just focus on landing your shots in general.

Make sure that you're leading your shots appropriately; if you're putting your reticle directly on an enemy, your shots won't land unless you're very close. Make sure you pay attention to how much you need to lead your shots at certain distances.

Don't play SWAT to improve your BR, no matter what anyone tells you. The BR is mostly about consistency; SWAT only helps you learn to quickly get a bead on someone and aim for the head. You could learn similar skills by playin Snipers, and gain the added bonus of being able to snipe well.

Don't focus on getting in individual BR battles. To be honest, they really don't happen that often. If you have solid teamwork and good awareness, you'll be cleaning up weak enemies or teamshotting most of the team anyway. Getting in individual duels is risky at best, and most of the time there's really no reason to. Try to get the first shot on someone whenever you can through superior awareness; you'll feel better going into the fight that you're already a shot up.

To practice consitency, try setting up a cusom in a small arena where you get 100% shield vampirism for every shot you land. THeoretically, nobody should ever die. Obviously this won;t be the case, but it will help you out, and the slower-paced gameplay will giv you time to focus on your strafe and leading your shots.

That should get you started. Best of luck to you!

in Lone Wolves


Lone Wolves isn't really about BR skill anyway,just to let you know. Awareness is far more important. Regardless, the tips I gave you still apply, but it's important in LW to know when to shoot at someone and when not to, since the score could potentially go to someone else.

Snipers doesn't require a strong BR. None of the Social playlists (With the possible exceptions of Mythic and Skirmish) require a strong BR. LW doesn't really require a strong BR. SWAT doesn't either; it requires a twitchy BR. TS, TD and MLG all require a good BR, but out of those MLG requires it the most, since you always spawn with it. Every playlist does require good awareness, though.

I ♥ Bungie!

Just pick one up whenever you see it and start to use it more often. You can also play customs with someone who is relatively good and start out a BR match and try to get used to if, ya know just kinda train yourself.

Quick easy tips to br, learn to strafe side to side while crouch jumping aim just above the head up against spartans and aim just below the neck of elites.

BTB requires a strong BR. You really need to know how to lead your shots and teamshoot vehicles like hogs. Coordinated fire is the only way to kill nublets across the map off-host.

My Halo 3 service record has several things that are incorrect. My KD is above 1.0 in both ranked and social, and I am a much higher rank. Also I have several perfections and my "player since" date is wrong because I have had Halo 3 since the launch date in 2007 (september 25 I think).

Contact Me: benjitellin@live.com

here is some valueable advice. aim head shots every shot. if your finding your stick movement (no dic jokes please) too jerky, edit your look sencetivity (don't spell check me i know it's wrong).
I just got my 41 today in the same playlist. It took about two fukkin' weeks to get it and i've played well over a thousand games so it might take a while to lvl up. hope that helps

My advice is to listen to nothing this guy says. Aim chest until you see the shields 'pop', then one burst to the head to finish them off.

That. Until the shield pops, there isn't any significant damage boost you get from headshots so why would you aim for the small bit instead of the large torso? The sensitivity bit isn't bad though, you certainly want to adjust it until it's comfortable for you to aim with. I'm puzzled about what bad web browser he's using that doesn't underline misspelled words in red so you can just right click and correct though, lol.

I forgot about BTB completely. Yeah add that to the list as well. Regardless, the rest of my statements still stand....at least until someone tries to knock them over.
