Popular Post Mr Biggles Posted November 20, 2011 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 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! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X H3LL JUMPER X Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Very nice, and helpful for a newbie I could assume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCPO Mayh3m Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 About the MLG team Snipers thing... you want to know callouts which come with time. People there are very, VERY, competitive and will freak out if you don't have a ton of kills to help them win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Wow, quite informative. I sure do love me some campaign! Played it probably more than multiplayer People that are new to the game could use this and pace themselves to the steps you wrote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgentLoFi Posted November 20, 2011 Report Share Posted November 20, 2011 Good advice man! Another way to practice, which I usually use to warm up, is to do some firefights, I personally like score attack or skirmigeddon for that. Skirmishers are good practice for hitting a fast moving target. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azaxx Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I dunno why people dont play the campaign, its kinda the main thing to halo, because of its massive story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZB-85 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Very nice. This has certainly helped me, and now I know how to be a better player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
call me graham Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 In entry 2 maybe talk about common tactics in Reach for example the double melee and how to combat these effectively , maybe even talk about which armour abilities would suit a newer player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azaxx Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I remember back in the early days, I avoided Arena because it was hard, but now its easy as crap....I suggest people train on that playlist, because they are lots of low ranked people on it to easily beat, and not get slaughtered.

Baby Boo Posted May 15, 2012 Report Share Posted May 15, 2012 Very informative biggles I just suggest one other playlist for newcomers: infection. It is an easy game type, as zombies are shieldless, and you've got a shotgun. It really fun to play, and it's a playlist you don't even need to worry about winning or losing. Infection is solely for fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biggles Posted May 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2012 Agreed, infection c an speed up reactions and make you much more aware. for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboyfortunehunter Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I love this game.I do.But really I think if you don't have an excellent I-net connection then you might as well stay home because no matter how good you "think" you are,you are going to lose,lose,lose.The multiplayer platform(p2p,not fit for purpose) will see to that..I suppose I'll get banned for saying this but really,they need to fix it.

Guest FreeSETHMAN Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Very good idea I will tell my friend's about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerribleTimbo Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 I would actually recommend people starting out in rumble pit as their first matchmaking experience rather than team slayer. Being able to make your 1v1 (or against multiple people) skills solid without needing to rely on team help is a must. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
