Ok so i posted earlier introducing myself and talked about the tournament thing. So its this weekend and I'm looking for all you crazy Halo MP gurus out there for advice. Its a 4-4 Slayer tournament no motion detectors and generic weapon set. So now I'll leave it up to whoever feels like giving advice to me and all the inexperienced players out there.

1) pistol - are you good with a pistol? get better. practice the pistol day and night until the tournament. your going to have to master those 3 shot kills to win.

2) backpack reload glitch - chances are everyone else there will be using it. learn it and use it. reload, reload, switch weapons. your weapon will then reload while it is in your backpack and while you are using your other weapon.

3) frag grenades - gotta love em. gotta be good with em

I've been trying it some is it really any faster and im just doing it wrong? cuz it doesn't seem too much faster to me

No matter what you do in life, you will disappoint someone.
No matter what you say, you will offend someone.
No matter what you think, someone will think you're an idiot.

Find and eliminate these people.

trying what? I'll assume you mean backpack reloading, and it doesn't make you reload any faster, it just lets you fire your gun while your other gun is reloading.

example: need to reload pistol. press reload, reload, change weapon. Start shooting with other gun at the same your reloading.

I use it so that I never have to actually stop shooting, other than the time it takes to switch weapons.

Never underestimate the power of a well placed/timed melee hit. This is a fun way to show someone that they need to start watching their back, and shame them at the same time.
Also if using the AR charge your enemy while firing, and when you get close enough, nail them with a melee, kills them almost every time after you get it down.
Practice by plugging in a controller or two that noone is using, and start up a multilayer game with yourself. Hell, if you want to get fancy, rubberband the two analog sticks together to make your "practice dummies" run around.

Never forget that camouflage can make you or break you always know where it is and when to get it the same goes for health packs.
and study the glitches for the map ypur going to use.

Be a rocket whore. It sucks to say but it is supremely effective.

Screw just rocket whoring, whore everything. The really good
players even have timers so they know exactly when powerups
are coming back.

There's also the double melee trick. It's not very effective, but it
might save you. Just hit melee, grenade, melee quickly.
This is a great site as well.
Watch the videos and read their articles.

use grenades wisely a single pistol shot and one fragment grenade will kill a person instantly, remember w/ snipers and anyone else w/ a zoomed weapon besides pistol, shoot first grenade later, another good tip is sniping build it up you'll need it and trust me do not hold down the pistol trigger tap fast shots r more accurate that way,use plasma guns when needed good way to paralyze enemy or take down there shields then quickley switch to pistol and blow away.
BIG TIP: obviously pistol is very useful always aim for the top right or top left of head and tap fast, u will get a three shot headshot almost all the time any mor questions my AIM is The Holy Indian trust me i play halo practically every day.

Personaly one of my favorite tactics is plasma rifle & melee. You freeze the sucker long enough to move in and a well placed melee will take him right out.
