I'm peronsally a all rounder, not to say i'm the best at each thing (e.g. sniping, driving) but i'm better then the average joe at all so i dont really have preference between the types.

TRUE SNIPING IS BASICALLY CAMPING uh! u un military people!

cant have the patience or handle a bullet in ur head, step out of my sights and surrender

Draerden, lets look at it this way..... ur a spartan.... that'll make it easier a little......
wearing power armour thats directly plugged into your spinal column..... so u can control it even better then your own hands...... Cant call it unrealistic with that now can you?

It is irrealistic the sniping, but whos complaining eh?
Plus, hes a cyborg trained for battle, he can flip like a 2 tonne tank, tell me he cant stay steady. anyway, its Halo's simplicity keeping it good, (among many other things....)

But anyone can snipe, and most usually get people in the heads, anyone can drive (we play that bumper car mode too) most good players can throw a grenade anywhered, my friend dont own the game and can get grenades almost anywhere, slightly worse than me...

but assaulting and whatnot takes true skill, close range is where you prove your good, someone says they can take 3 vs them, they may be good, maybe better than me, i am not the best, but you obviously arent playing with three people that are good....

Boast as you may, i am the best player i know, but i dont beleive my skills are super sufficient to beat anyone here, because were all probably as good as you, some may even be better. You say you can lead me with a rocket and hit, I say i am awake, see you shoot it and change my course...

Sorry for having abit of a go, but this thread was a what style player are you, not a boast about what you can do (lie or not). I was originally abit of an all rounder, then i converted to punch as Left-Trigger, and got really used to punching, and found it quick and easy to get used to, but wanted to go back to the default settings (it took me a whole day to get used to that again, so the boxer setting is probably better), but now, once again i am an all rounder.

I'm the Annoying SOAB guy, who comes into battle with a pistol and knocks people out with headshots or grenades. Otherwise I snipe like a hoe. So I'm a Roaring Agile Donkey that enjoys pistols and snipers.

Furtheron I tend to hit people that screen look. Even if you can snipe pretty well, it is a pain in the ass to headshot a screenlooker.

And playing paintball prepares you to make quarter mile distant shots how?

Seriously. I prefer Sniper Rifles in other games. Take Return to Wolfenstein for example. If you started to jog or run you lowered the scope. Your sight wobbled, less if you were crouching and you had to fight it, concentrate as much on keeping your aim steady as you had to keep track of your target. There are more factors involved.

Halo is embarassingly simple in comparison. For example, my friends online starfe back and forth while dodging, concentrate on placing their elevation of their sight at head level and then take their fingers off of the right stick and strafe back in for the shot.

How realistic is that?


Yeah, that is a little unrealistic, so to compensate I have the Auto-Center option enabled that moves your reticule back to normal position when you move. I find that makes it a little more realtistic. It still doesn't help you from getting sniped so easily though, which is frustrating. I also have a friend who thinks he's so good at sniping, but if auto-center were enabled, he'd be complaining left and right.

As far as how I play Halo, I mix it up between the sniper, assault (AR and Shotgun), and just getting in a vehicle (esp. Scorpion) and OWNING the battlefield.


I agree, I liked how Wolfenstein did their sniper rifle better then Halo: Combat Evolved did... When you got your kills with it it felt like you really accomplished something...

I'm a Happy type of Halo player:
- Happy to put a bullet or a melle to your head player...
- Happy take you out of your misery kinda player.....

I'm also a thoughful type of Halo player..
- I thought the bullet lodged in your head made you quit...

I'm also a concerned type of Halo player
- Where and how would you like me to end your life..
- Did you really have to spin 12 times before you died..

Well as you can see I am not only a player but also
a proud member and owner of Halo on xbox & Halo PC
Plus soon to be club president of an already paid in full
Copy of Halo 2 Limited Edition on 11/9/04....
Anyway that's the type of player I am. "I'm a Halo Enthusiast"

I'm a Sniper Boxer. And camping is Sniping. But I don't like to camp for a good reason.

Lets just say I prefer to use common sense.

That's pretty funny. Yeah, sniping sure is great because of the refinement of aiming that you need to make it so proficient.

I'm aggressive. Very, very aggressive. My friends are suicidal when playing the game, throwing grenades at their feet when near you, running head-on into gunfire, and what's funny is that they FEAR ME!!!!!!

I'm a real -blam!- when it comes to the shotgun and gernades. But I also like hitting people which is why I changed my setting to Boxer. And on Halo for PC I am amazingly good at shorthand sniping. And I'm a damn good warthog driver too.

Tanker!! Give me the scorpion and remember what happen to the sniper in saveing private ryan. Yeah that useually what hapens to enemy snipers in MP.

My most memerbal kill in MP with a tank is a 4 on 4 ctf in sidewinder. The enemy was in the tunnels (or center base where all the power ups are) well we had to defend our flag because they were going to do the super chief(active camo and overshield) rush with 2 other infantry. well to slow them down we were jus mad rushing people in to the tunnel. and they get killed then respawn grab a shotgun and go again. I parked my tank and aimed right at the entrance because it was obvious that the enemy was going to break through. well just give it time and then my croshairs turned red and BLAM tripel kill. I felt sorry for thoes guys they sure fought hard in there.


As for secondary type I say I am preaty good as a warthog gunner.

One time I in the tank got killed by a warthog. Well I just got done fending off three ghosts and the end result was them dead and me backed against the cliff with 2 bars left. Then a warthog w/ gunner came along and I was so weaken from the ghosts atack that a couple of hits and I was dead. Be weary of the cavalry wolf pack.

Cant wait for HAL0 2 aircraft new armored vehicles (wraith, shadow, creeps) and all the calvery vehicles. and artilery turrets.

  • 05.17.2004 8:01 AM PDT

I personally try to stay away from vehicles. They tend to put a HUGE sign over your head that screams...

"HERE I AM, HERE I AM, HERE I AM, HERE I AM!
PLEASE TAKE OUT YOUR PISTOL AND GO ALL CHEAP ON ME.
THANKS!"


Ha ha. Seriously, I like to side swipe people with the warthog. I use the plasma pistol religiously, and I don't charge it up for the cheap shots. I have a fast middle finger ( the finger I use to shot ), and it makes the plasma pistol deadly. You can time it just right so that it doesn't overcharge. There ends up being just enough juice to knock down a shield and finish a foe off; that is, without changing weapons. Playing against me is like having a group of Jackels concentrate their plasma fire at you during campaign on Legendary. It's quite aggravating, from what I've been told:)

Feel free to tear apart that "fast middle finger" comment:)

I always try to get the plasma rifel first then a sniper rifel or vis versa....
Then depending on my enemeis and my life i run around whil sniping but if someone comes close then i switch to the plasma rifel..... i don't use guns becuase many people say they won't be in H2 and because they're kind of cheap.
som times i get the cammo powerup and run around sniping in battle creak but other times i try to my as much as i can because then the will never know what struck them ehh......

Some times if im on Blood Gluch i use my secret sniping spots and get 20 to 30 kills a round. But i use the plasma rifle and shotgun as my key favorite.

My style depends on the level that Im playin...

On Blood Gulch I prefer to snipe people, but sometimes ill hope in a ghost and dominate all my friends...

If Im playin Battle Creek I love to sneak up on the sniping positions, kill the sniper, that their gun and then jump up and grab the rocket launcher as well...

In Hang Em High I love to be stealthy, grab the cloak and wander around with the shotgun... so much fun, most of them time i can get close enough to get a one shot kill before they even notice me...

Unfortunately only 3 of my friends are good at halo, but i only play with one of them on a regular basis... I can't wait for xbox live play, finally ill be able to play with people as good as me...
