HALO 2 tips and strat

[shivadee]

Well i feel like starting a lil thread here. Anyone with lil tips an ting to share

Lemme start. I see a couple nice tings here and there that useful

1. Full charge from a plasma pistol and one burst of the battle rifle to the head ....man ded. very effective

2. I see mihself moving away from machine gun and plasma gun to battlerifle.....FINALLY not a pleb nomore

3. Went one on one with a level 19 (im only a lowly 12 so far) with a plasma sword. All i had was a machine gun. Keep moving and some BUSY gun butt go handle him.



So anyone else with some strats? Stage strat? Team strat?

[Redlum08]

1. A well placed grenade and couple shots to the head with the Battle Rifle usually is very effective

2. When using dual plasma rifles pull on the trigger twice before holding, shoots faster then move in with a meelee to the head, man drops dead.

3. a timed move to the side will avoid being slashed to death with the covenant sword, timing is key.

4. Using the Shotgun, if you are not too close but running up to him, fire a shot to the head and then meelee, he will drop like a fly.

Practise jumping and spring jumpin that saves me alot...............spring jumping is when u jump on something and as u land u press jump again u move jus like preditor

and use ledges to your advantage especially wit d sword

standing still or crouch walking erases you from the radar soo u cud splinter cell up to a person

[shivadee]

but you know jumping around like that makes you a sitting duck for snipers right? When you jump you have the same arc and jump each time. You cannot change anything about your movement in the air. So all the sniper has to do is follow your arc easy.

the crouch is a real good tip. Real men does forget that when playing a heated game.

A real gud player cud easily time d sniper when he shoot jus do a crouch in d air i did it many a time

[Redlum08]

But a REAL Good sniper will still compensate for your little crouch and snipe yuh in between your face shield...

[shivadee]

Double gun butt

X (do half a gun butt) then quickly press B and X in succession. You have to have a full clip when doing this

So Xen.......who probably already know this......but didnt when i last asked him.......there ya go.......pwnage for them men now.

Also learn quite a few tricks in LOCKOUT

1. There is a platform right as you enter from the bottom of the beam elevator. This is the entrance FACING the lift. You can hide over the edge there.

2. You can crouch jump up to the Battle Rifle and Sniper Rifle platforms from the quadrangle in the middle of the map.

3. If you time it just right. As you move up the platform to the Sniper RIfle level you can throw a grenade off the wall and it will bounce right back behind you. It helps when someone is behind you firing at you. Aim just to the right after the ledge at a high arc.


other usefull things plebs like me didnt know

1. You can lunge through the air still with the plasma sword with a lockon. Even with the updates

2. You can cancel a lunge attack by pressing X

3. In the TURF map you can go to the absolute top top of the map. On top all the buildings. You will need a partner to lunge and cancel lunge through the invisible walls. You have to set the game to PLASMA SWORD starting weapon. You will also need the partner to help you onto higher levels. Lock, lunge and cancel to fly accross the map

4. At the absolute highest point of the map in TURF there is a chimney stack of sorts that you can walk right into and not be seen. Snipe away if you can.



Little trick with the BATTLE RIFLE some level 39's show me, although i cannot get it to work

1. 3 shots to the chest one to the head, person is dead.


ummmm...thats all i know. Forgive me 1337's for knowing this "old" stuff already.
