This thread is about tips and tricks you have learned for the guns. Share them and enlighten us. I have some tips on the plasma pistol: Learn to be able to hit a person every time with the overloaded shot, it will save your life. Also learn to tap it very fast. Here is what I do with them, I will get as close as I can to the person without taking much damage, then I hit them with the super heated shot, let it cool than tap really fast. I have killed 3 people at once while they had shotguns doing this.
Shotgun tips: try to get right next to the person before shooting so you get a one shot kill. If you are higher than your enemy jump down and blast em int the face.
Some tips for avoiding snipers:
DO NOT JUMP it makes you slower, you pretty much float in the air.
A sniper can't kill what he can't hit, use vehicles and drive like a retard.
Tip for using snipers:
If you see a red circle while aiming at the side of an object, do not shoot imediately, the target is probaly at unawares of you being able to shoot him, go for the head.
Tip for all guns:
Learn to play on high sensitivity.

I have found that if you charge up the plasma pistol, you can fire and hit at the same time, provides an almost instant kill (useful for when you have just respawned)

here is a cool thing to do with a sniper rifle in blood gulch. if you are on top of one of the bases and one of your opponents is on top of the opposite base, all you need to do to pick him off is to grab the sniper, zoom into 10x point towards that direction and jump. once you see him, just time it right and go for a head shot when he is not moving. if you hit him in the body, just rest your crosshairs in the gap between the little wall things that is between your enemy and the health. when the circle goes red, blast him to oblivion!! moohahahaha!!

A sniper is the most deadly enemy you will face in Halo multiplayer: They tend to be specialised players that can turn the tide of a battle with a handful of rounds, and work equally well in a team or as lone wolves.

Against snipers, use a pistol: scope up, and aim in their direction: one shot will unscope their vision, meaning they waste valuable seconds.
Secondly, never, ever, ever, run parallel to the direct LOS of a sniper: this is when you will be the easiest target. Try to move at a direct diagonal: that way, you are moving not just along a hypothetical X or Y axis, but both, making just that little bit harder to kill.
Try to have some sort of elevation, negative or positive, from the sniper: this, again, makes you marginally harder to hit.
If the sniper you are facing is any good at all, being in a vehicle, of any type, will make you a big, fat, easy to see target: a Ghost or Hoggie may be quick, but they are worth more trouble then you can possibly imagine.
Hide behind vehicles (ideally the Hoggie or the Scorpion), rocks, buildings, and other cover: fairly obviously, anything that soaks up rounds (apart from your own, frail human flesh) is good news.
If you see a sniper rifle at its spawn point (not your own teams, should you be playing CTF or similar, obviously) take it: you dont have to use it, just move it so that when you make you daring/fatal escape, the sniper will likely be without ammo or even an actual rifle.
Organise your equipment so that regardless of your role, unless you can guarantee you wont be caught out in the open, you always have a pistol: as mentioned earlier, it descopes snipers, and is a deadly weapon once you learn to use it.
Alert your team members (if playing team-based gametypes) to a snipers location as accurately as possible. This will mean (unless they suck, are particularly selfish, are dead, or all three) that your comrades will help to remove the threat.

Here's a trick that uses a gun and grenades. It is simple to pull off but hard to master. All you have to do is melee, grenade, melee in a rather quick motion. It works best with a fast melee weapon like the Plasma Pistol, AR, or Plasma Rifle. If using a plasma grenade beware if you stick your opponent. If using a frag make sure you know where it bounced. Otherwise you will just even out your score with a kill/suicide.

This tactic is for any weapon that can zoom but better with a good ol' snipe. if you have a snipe, peolpe tend to run from you if it is a large field, unless they are stupid, they won't run directly infront of you but go to one side th reduce your chance of hitting them. the tactic is to aim a little ahead of the way they are going and when the aimer goes red, shoot and start sideways moving in the direction they are moving. if you had good timing, the aimer will stay on them untill they turn again and you can shoot them untill they die. USE THIS TACTIC ONLY IF YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T HIT THEM WITH A HEAD SHOT IN THE FIRST PLACE!

Pistol:
When using the pistol try to put the bottom of the crosshair on
your opponents head, instead of just centering the crosshair on the head. This almost always insures a head shot, and 3 of them and their dead.

Plasma grenades:
This trick wont be used often, but when used properly its really cool.
When you know there is an opponent hiding behind an object you can throw a plasma grenade and then quickly throw another one beside it. When the first grenade explodes it will throw the other grenade toward your opponent. Its not very accurate but when it works its cool.

In a small map(or a map with teleporters)an easier way to pistol snipe is to use the teleporters.When you teleport into another teleporter,run back into the teleporter.Most people won't notice you until they're dead.

Grenade Basics.

Don't go down without a fight, throwing a grenade at the last minute often results in the dropping of the grenade - making it much more discrete. Your killer, looking for ammo, carelessly runs over the grenade. If you managed to hurt him at all before dying, chances are the grenade will finish him off.

Luring enemies can be quite effective. Shoot a couple of pot-shots and run around a corner, given the attacker is pursuing - throw a few grenades at objects above/in front of you, bouncing them back at him. Simple but effective.

Oh, and as far as the Pistol - the first two shots don't matter, they'll always take down the same amount of shields. So, make the third one count. Two shots anywhere followed by a headshot will result in a kill.

Granted both of these tactics are extremely simple, but so is the nature of the rest of these tips.
