Mr Biggles

Hello again! After receiving positive feedback from Entry #1, i thought i would continue in the same vein (structure wise and typing wise) but it will be different, i promise. <3 So lets get started. 1. Why not to play MLG and Team Snipers There are a number of reasons why not to play MLG and team snipers, one of the reasons is the fact that, MLG especially, is seen as the "Hardcore Playlist" or whatever you want to call it, its for people who want to feel a challenge, but also however, to have good teammates who have played for ages, and are veterans in the game. If you go into MLG, just playing team slayer and a bit of Team Objective isn't going to cut it, when you feel ready you can cope in MLG, go, but, i would recommend going in a team of 4 (4 players search in the same party) so you don't get abuse from other people because you haven't learnt as quick as them, this is also technically the same for Team Snipers, but the concept isn't really as bad. 2. How Useful is the DMR and why? Im going to come from this post from a perspective that you never played H2 or H3 and don't know what the BR is, if you have, there's no need to read this section, again, if you're new to Halo, this is important. The DMR, is arguably, the most lethal weapon in the game aside from the rockets (Obviously because they are OverPowered in reach) but the DMR can do so many things, even with bloom. The weapon it self, if hit correctly, can be a 5 shot kill (this basically means you can hit the first 4 shots on ANY PART of the body, if you hit the 5th shot on the head, then its a 5 shot kill, anywhere else, and you won't kill them (this is only if they have full health/shields), it can also do a number of things, like knock many scoped weapons (like the sniper) off of scope, making it harder to even hit a shot on you with it, let alone shoot you in the head, it can take down shields so the other teammates can pick up the kill (important in Slayer/MLG), and it can do other things which i guess you can find out yourself. In turn, as i said, the DMR is so lethal cause it can do so much, like the BR in halo 3/halo 2, hopefully no bloom will make the DMR even better. 3. Sniper Use so im sure all of you now-a-days LOVE the sniper because its such a good weapon, and everyone wants to make huge plays with it, but, if you're a noob, you will basically want to learn with it, and worry about the triple and overkills later. So this is how to use a sniper: 1. Stay back and let people expose themselves, because if you're new, the last thing you want to do is to get up forward on the map, and lose the team's sniper & lose control of key weapons, because, if you're by yourself in the game, you will be hated on forever. 2. Practice! Don't worry if you miss occasionally, it happens to everyone, with practice comes perfect, just keep aiming for the head and eventually it will be a regular thing and you will be hitting them headshots like a pro! 4. Positioning In General Positioning is something very hard to master, but if you do, if you can master positioning on every map, you will be the best. you can go pro and own every game with a good DMR, Good sniper and GREAT POSITIONING. Positioning is the key to any game, and it can make or break a game. On every map, its always a good idea to try & stay as high on the map as you possibly can, because that way then you will have a height advantage on everyone else and they will find it harder to shoot at you and you can shoot at them freely and because you're higher, apart from having the height advantage, there aren't that many places your opponent can hide or get away, because you should always be able to see them and shoot at them, killing them easily. Another tip is to not lose position! because otherwise you will be more vulnerable and will lose the advantage of just having simple heighest difference, and it could cost you and your team a lot in general, don't rush around for a kill, just let your teammates clean them up if they run off and put shots on, the only time you should lose position is if you are going to die, i will explain why in my next entry, it may seem obvious, but there's a hidden agenda about it. 5. Watch Professional Plays the reason i say this is because Pro plays can teach you so much more then any of my tips can, and if you find commentary on plays, that's even better, because that's also a good way of showing how even pros go wrong, pros aren't perfect, no one is. here's 2 plays you should watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoHu9VbXuyA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxIxq4c51L0 watch these and learn off of them, it will help so much. i hope you enjoyed this, ive enjoyed making my first two, and im doing this because mostly i love this community, and i want to improve new players In entry 3, i will discuss: Communication Life Over Death? Moving a flag (Normal Settings) Different Movements More on Pro Plays. etc Hope you enjoyed this, feedback would be great ;D

compared to the amount of people who are inheritors, the percentage of people who are inheritors is RIDICULOUSLY small.....so 343 won't feel the need too.

cheers for all the comments guys, anything u want to see in entry #2 is welcome.

Where's this confirmation? there's no link to them using BR in halo 4.

Why u looking for that K/D? K/D means nothing.

Halo 2 ranking system, except HARDER. nuff said.

7 children? wow.... Never spoke to you, you seem like a cool guy though bye

You mean halo 1 and Halo 2 mix, right?

Imagine if you have never played halo before, you've always been a CoD/Battlefield man, and you are about to delve into the world of halo, it can be quite scary, but also quite a fun experience as you will notice while obviously the game is very different, it always to seem to have a competitive aspect, something that both CoD and BF lack in that respect. So lets get started, so again, imagine you've just bought halo reach, and you have never played any other Halo's before, and you are worried about what its gonna be like, if your going to suck at it or not, or if you will do well. (Refer To Arch Angel's Post Too. http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/4580-big-1-biggles-style-5-tips-on-how-to-become-a-better-player/page__pid__83750#entry83750) 1. Play the Campaign. You'll be surprised how many people don't actully play the campaign and just go straight into multiplayer, this is never a good idea as if you don't know the weapons and how to use them, you will get ****** over quite badly. Now i understand that the Campaign in Halo reach probably isn't the best campaign ever, but it is quite good at letting you use every weapon (Sniper, DMR, AR, Etc) and letting u get good with it at your own progress, the campaign is pretty good for a new halo player, & can certainly help you a lot and make you much a better player, by the time you finished the campaign, you will be surprised how much better you are at the game already. 2. Play with Friends! (Campaign/Multiplayer) You'll be surprised how much friends make a difference in a game, as they can guide you in the right direction and try to tell you mistakes you make, and can overall can just make the game more fun and exciting, as you know you can have fun while playing. Instead of finding some super-serious Kids who think winning is the be-all and end-all, you can play with friends & have a much more fun and enjoyable time because, they will kind of let you learn at your own pace as you won't have people screaming down their mic "YOU SUCK! QUIT THE *Insert Language* GAME!* Im now going to Imagine you have finished the Campaign and have played a few multiplayer matches, and you are kind of experienced. 3. Play Team Slayer and stick with it for a bit. In my opinion, Team slayer is a nice way of getting up in skill levels and skill in general, because, in team slayer, there are a LOT of people who don't know what they are doing, bit like the person who is going to read this (presuming they are new) and will be in the EXACT same position as you, new, just got out of the campaign, and are ready to try their luck at multiplayer, i will talk about winning/losing next, but for now, just stick with team slayer and play it for a bit, until you have a good idea of what you are doing and are enjoying the game mostly, if you aren't enjoying the game, you mighyt as well not play it, because the #1 reason you play any game, is because you enjoy it, hell, if you don't enjoy something, don't do it simple as. 4. Don't worry about winning/losing The one thing that makes me mad in ANY game, is people's Ego's and the fact they think winning and losing is the be all and end all, because, in reach anyway, Winning and losing means **** all, as long as you are enjoying yourself and want to keep playing, that is good enough. As Day[9] would say: "GET YOUR EGO OUT OF THE F****** GAME!" don't go into a game thinking your going to be the best instantly, because, lets be honest, unless you are naturally talented at gaming, you are not going to be great at it instantly, just keep playing and ignore all the hate people will give you 5. Move Onto Other Playlists Im going to presume now you are doing Ok in team slayer, getting about 8+ kills,and dying a lot less then you were, lets say when its your first game of Team slayer, you are a better player already, so now you should move onto different playlists, whether is Team Objective, BTB, or Swat, any of them are good, just, again, as long as you are learning and enjoying yourself, for now, that is all that matters. I wouldn't recommend the following playlists until you are really good (i will explain why not to pick them in the next entry i do.) 1. MLG. 2. Team Snipers In Entry #2, i will be explaining about the DMR in great detail, why not to go into MLG and Team Snipers, as well as Positioning in certain maps and how to use a sniper effeicentally, i hope you enjoyed reading this, and i hope you can't wait for entry #2 (Will Be Done Every Wednesday & Sunday Until Told Different) Have fun in halo reach!

Instinct to not drop a game in Providence.

have you tried bungie.net?

not my games, but is still a montage, and is absolutly disgusting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHcIrh8ZKT4

85% Bloom -> zero Blooman anyone know when the TU goes live in all of the playlists. PS: Im back guys

I swear you cant do it without 2 people.... but no, i haven't, i have done it though.

sounds pretty cool, i would do today if i wasn't busy.

i don't understand why it was released this early, why didn't they just release it all in 1 big bundle?

edited for up to date changes.

Nope. this could be abused ridiculously 24 - 0, oh no one quits, then the other one quits wihout any problems and does not get a warning/banned for it, it will be a way of escaping bans. also, if this happens, people will want it for other playlists. "3 of my teammates quit during my Team Slayer game, make it so if your last guy you can quit and not get punished" honestly, i like the system the way it is now, if your teammate quits, that's just unfortunate, he may not of quit intentionally, but lagged or sumit. just hide somewhere or camp in a corner if you're worried your going to lose.

^^ All of this is YOUR opinion. i don't believe in people ego's saying they make good maps, or your friends' opinions. give it to a Forge Maker who can do this kind of stuff and then let him say if they are / were good or not.

The Person above me has the coolest signature ever. the person below me has thought that halo was realistic.

Hang em high has been confirmed. and why not? because other people have remade them? on the community? they should be remade by 343 too....maybe with their own twist. EDIT: SgtHunter, tone down on the big sig please, its annoying to think there's another post just to find its your HUGE signature.

Would it be strange to say that all of my top 5 are all MLG???

the main one is points2shop, as posted. there are loads others, just type in "Surveys for Rewards" or something like that. also, your RoflCopter makes me lol.
