masterchief is one of the best halo players. You do not know the meaning of good until u play him. I know him and he plays against kids from otherschools and even at his school and every person that plays him thinks they are better but they all lose in the end. I would not encourage his bragging but would not say he has no right too because he in everyway he can. I also hear that he was chosen to participate in the next Halo competition natiaonally. note he always wins by 25 kills or more.

I am really good at Halo better than quite a lot of people, but I am no where yet on his level. Oh I cant wait to play side by side with him, on Halo 2, over Xbox Live, and when he beats those people for the Halo National tournament, whether it be Halo or Halo 2. I thought I would help out here, try and settle this, and give you a bit of background information. Thanks again.

And that is all for now.

thanks for speaking the truth alex, i dont wann fight w/ u guys but seriously when i brag im really just kidding (even though i can brag) and yes i will soon be competing in National tournament

u know on the level called "halo", in the last place where u have to save the marines, its on a mountain side with tons of huge rocks, and u can stand on the rocks and snipe the cove's as they get out of the drop ships.

how about a level similer to that in halo 2, u have to get up a mountain, but elites are sniping at u, i think it would work quite well.

i hope u do well. Where is it, is there one in England?

ferill im not quite sure if there is any in england but there may be. im not sure where u would check for that but is a possibilty and thx for wishing me luck

G4 had a national Halo tournement a while back. It was great. The guy that won got about 25 kills a minute... no one could even touch him. That is really quite amazing considering these were the best players in the country.

A word of advise if you do enter a tourny, Mater Cheif, don't bother switching out weapons. Stick with the pistol. Anything else will just waste your time as your opponents rack up kills.

I've done that a couple times before, and masterchief no, you don't wanna start a fight with us. were mean, nasty, and will make you wanna shit your pants(DOWN WITH NOOBS, VIVA LA RESISTANCE!)

shut up nads. and searex i know the pistol is the best gun in the game and extremely cheap and great in multiplayer, all i will dois take pistol and shotgun, deadly combo but ya pistol does own and i oculdnt be in the first nationals cause i was too buisy and dint find out about to late and i wasnt quite old enough

i believe their is no better weapon, different weapons are better for different situations!

nads you was once a newbie, i was once a newbie! everyone was a newbie once so basically what you have just said means you want us all out, including you!

personally i think the best combo for multi. is :

sniper rifle: to find your opponent and possibly damage or kill him.

shotgun: great gun at close range.

so snipe all u can and then mop up anything else with the shotgun, it got me a hell of a lot of kills.

my fave combo's are:

shotgun and pistol

sniper and rocket launcher

plasma rifle and needler

THESE are my favorite combos for different situations

1. against a ghost

counter- assault rifle and psitol w/ plasma grenades

2. against a tank

counter- pistol or sniper rifle and rocket w/ plasma grenades

3. against a warthog

counter- pretty much anything, the thing is so damn slow, but the best choices are probably the rocket and assault rifle w/ plasma grenades.

4. against a sniper

counter- a pistol works great since the sniper rifle has such a slow rate of fire, just keep shooting the pistol and the sniper wont be able to zoom in at you, either type of grenades work here

5. against a guy w/ a shotgun

counter- if you are far away your best bet is with the sniper rifle because tou can be so far away and hit and the psitol is great too
and id say frag grenades

6. against a guy w/ an assault rifle

counter- for far away either the sniper rifle or pistol but when in close quaters either a shotgun for the damage but even better then shotgun is the plasma assault rifle because its very high rate of very will cause the other player to be slown down and as if he was frozen, then move in for the melee attack, best grenades are frags unless you think u can stick one on the guy.

7. against a guy w/ a plasma weapon

counter- since these weapons can be dangerous it is wise to not get too close, even w/ a shotgun. A pistol from a distance is deadly and a rocket will cause a blood bath.

8. against a guy w/ a rocket

counter- this weapon can be great and horrible at the same time. you definitly dont want to get too close to these guys unless they have wicked aim and u know when to time your jump over or around teh rocket (which takes time). if you are risky enough to go in close quarters against a rcket dont leave without a plasma assault rifle or a regular assault rifle because the plasma rifle is used to slow the target snd get the shield down and after that the assault rifle rips right through the guy.

there are alot of strategies that work but i find these to be very useful

Phht. You could counter anybody with an Assault Rifle with anything but an Assault Rifle. ARs suck.

I've also found that it is hard to kill a person in a tank with an SR if they aren't stationary... I usually just clip them and only take off one square of health. Your rocket strategy is better, as it is easier to time a rocket into the path of the tank than get a head shot on a steadily moving tank, unless its path is perpendicular to me.

And what I was saying, MC, was not to bother even looking for weapons, look for people to kill instead. Only pick up a shotgun if someone else drops it, or if you are a few feet away from one. I don't know if I said that correctly in my other post...

obviously ur not very good at Halo because the AR's dont suck if u know how to use them, they are by far the best weapon against ghosts. if u played enough u would know and im not sure how many tournaments u have been im in not gonna get a chotgun if i only just c 1 im gonna go staright for one the r great in close quarters

my strategy is find a weapon use it, if i have only a little health left go kamikaze!

if i have a sniper rifle find a nice hiding place and use it or if im up against a tank...use any thing!

*sigh*
I'm not going to start a little geek fight with you, so don't make weak attempts about "how good I am at Halo". Ghosts most likely won't be in the tourny. It will probably be a simple death match with a 50 kill limit at most. The only advantage to the AR over any weapon is that they melee faster. So unless I've missed the "Super Omega Death" button on the AR, than I really don't feel like changing my OPINION ABOUT A WEAPON IN A DAMN VIDEO GAME. And if you see a shotgun, go for it, LIKE I SAID. I meant that you shouldn't go off searching for some weapon when you could be racking up points, not that you should just walk past the damn thing.

thats a perfect strategy *starts looking for Super Omega Death button on AR*

no ghosts in tourneys LOL obviously u have never been in one, and someone needs to go take some riddlin or some people to settle down because ur gettin cranky and do i see some tears forming?

Aww, you're so cute. That's right. No vehicles in tournys. There weren't any in the G4 first national. There probably won't be any in the second. Note that I was using the words "most likely" and "probably". I never said that it was official. It sounds like you need some riddilin, so you can pay attention to whatever the f*ck you're reading. And as if this "massive amount of tournements" makes you more right than anyone else. Winning video game tournys can cause arrogance, but it doesn't make you any less of an idiot.

Jesus Tap Dancing Christ... I try to offer friendly advise to people, and they spit it right back in my face. Well, I'll be sure to be as much of a jackass as I can from now on. I'm so "cranky" I think I'll roll up into a fetal position and "cry".

searex, your strategies are the ones i use and i do pretty well, i use my own and i do well aswell. different strategies suit different people!

i always stick with the MA5B, its best against all enemys, and a fairly medicore weapon.

flood weapon strategys.

infectors: MA5B, M6D.

carriers: M6D.

elite flood: M90, MA5B, M6D.

human flood: M90, MA5B, M6D.

and the best technique in the world, DONT GET KILLED!

Ya know, I like the AR, well on MP then
If an opponent has no shotgun, its one hella gun when theres only 100 % health and shield. Just fire at him, and it takes just nearly 1 clip to deplete his shields and then smack him in the face. I play halo all the time with my friends, a 4 player ffa on all sorts of maps and usually I win with 25-30 kills above no. 2. But most of the time I only use it when I just spawned and theres a chap near me. but usually I don't spawn that much. Other than that, I always get the sniper rifle, in combination with a needler(hang em high)/SPNKr (bloodgulch)/plasma rifle( all the others), Or the shotgun pistol combo.
A cheap thing to do in longest:

1: get shotgun
2: get invisiblity
3: throw plasma grenade through opening, next to overshield
4: go though 'window' under the powerups
5: get overshield that is now on the floor
6: run up to people and kick some butt

thats an excellent techinque! i'll be sure to try that!

lol! Ok, news just in folks, my sexuality has just changed to reflect what MC has just said, because he is so good at Halo (lol), he obviously knows everything.

Well, I'm not gay. But what are you? A fucking degenerate that has nothing better to do with his life to insult other people and claim to be the best of the best. Heck, your insults are really shit too, if you are good at Halo, it's probably the only thing you are good at.

And ooooooh, I said Halo 2 was a computer game! One thing I may have gotten wrong, as oppose to all of the things you have gotten wrong that could fill an entire library. Technically, you could call any console game a computer game as it's developed on computers. But that's going too deep. Although, Halo 2 will more than likely find it's way on the PC after the Xbox version, THEN it'll be a computer game. Sheesh, you are a picky bastard aren't you?

The only one who's an idiot here is mr. "I'm a low life who thinks I know everything and I probably believe I am actually a real SPARTAN and that the Halo weapon actually exists as I'm so stupid". And you don't need to perfect your spellin gfor others, but you I recommend you should ofr yourself, as it makes you look really dumb. But it probably reflects your personality, so you best not even try to perfect your spelling anyway - shows the world who you are. Probably work yourself out too much to do it anyway.

As for you being the best player in the world? My friend is just about invincible when he's holding a sniper rifle, and he's good at everything else too, pistol battles are extremely hard when he's involved. As a sniper, he's no scenery watcher either and he can just pop out *BANG!* one down *BANG!* another down, take cover, pop out and kill two more.... take cover, reload and repeat. Although he's not predictable like that. I have popped him in the head from a mile off with a pistol if no sniper rifle is availabe before, but rarely do you get the chance to do that. He can almost always pin you down. Screen watching is one of his strategies of course, but he's still mega hard to escape even when we do link ups when screen watching isn't possible.

I have thrashed him before, but then he's thrashed me too. He wins most of the time, but I have one too. We almost never resort to frag grenade throwing and we always go for sticking plasma grenades on each other if grenades ever come into things.

My strategies for what you mentioned are:

1. against a ghost

counter- plasma grenades most of the time but popping them in the head with a pistol also helps. If you choose to use an AR, keep strafing and running or you'll get run over.

2. against a tank

counter- well, quite simply, if somebody gets in a tank, they're dead. But they can blow up alot of opponents, especially in link up games when nobody can screen watch or when they wait for a respawned one to blow to shit. A plasma grenade on any part of the tank will do it (preferrably near the hatch), a frag can also help if it explodes under neath it, a rocket launcher is a garuanteed success if they don't see it coming as is a pistol to the head (through the hatch) of course.

3. against a warthog

counter- the skilled Warthog driver will constantly swirve about and never keep in a straight line. A sniper file to the head is an instant end to their life of course, but a plasma grenade when close by will also have a good chance, but it's very quick for them to jump out. It's a good idea to aim for the pilot, but it does require alot of skill. A rocket launcher aimed in fornt of their patch will do it, but the swirver might be able to survive. Firing a rocket from far at an alert driver is useless and the driver WILL avoid it. The most fun way to end their life is to get in a Tank and just blow them to shit (garuanteed victory) or get in a Warthog yourself and full speed into their side or at the corner of their front. Doing the latter will result in them flipping directly over you. This will require a head-on collision of course. It looks fantastic too!

4. against a sniper

counter- actually, a sniper has a high rate of fire, but not enough bullets for it to last. Against a skilled sniper is defintely the toughest problem you'll come across, and if you are the only threat, taking cover will do you no good. It will just prolong your death. If you do end up in cover, lob a couple of grenades in the direction you wish to run to use the smoke as cover, although this isn't going to work even 60% of the time. Stay out of cover unless there is an exit which isn't opened up and inside a cavern or tunnel of some kind. That way, you could make your way through an alternate passage to his sniper point or to your own sniper rifle. The key is to know where he is, by screen watching or smoke trails. Pistols can over-whelm or defeat a sniper if he has a different target but is useless if he's interested in killing only you. The best decision is to make your way to a sniper file, as the only thing that scares a sniper is another sniper. Snipe him yourself. If he screen watches, he'll definitely take cover. But he'll also position his crosshair so he can get a head shot. Poke out only if you know you can kill or put off his aim.

Also, positioning your tank so you can blast at well-known sniper points is essential, and you should keep the hatch out of their line of fire if possible. Although, the elite sniper will not go for the well known sniper points that allow them to see over the entire level, but should go to places where they never thought they would be. Sniping on the same level as your target in a nook that they would have never imagined works surprisingly well. Gettin gused to the small crosshair whilst out of scope mode is also essential so that if you are shot and come out of your scope, you can still aim at them and shoot for the instant kill, which is a head shot if no shields are set. Against a sniper, jumping in the air is a pathetic attempt to get away from them and you are offering them a clear shot! Ducking only helps against cover as it's to slow for anything else. You can only hope that strafing and swirving runs (or drives) will put them off. A plasma pistol also works wanders against snipers, especially those not aiming at you. Just charge up and let go, be fairly close though so they don't spor the ball of plasma heading their way. Frags also ensure flushing them out of their points.

5. against a guy w/ a shotgun

counter- shotguns are great in campaign or coop, but useless in Multiplayer. Elite players won't let you get near them. That said, it's the perfect weapon for link up games where screen watching isn't possible and hide to kill a passer-by instantly. Jumping down on unaware opponents with a blast also stenches victory for you, and mid-range can doi alot of damage too. But it's too slow to defeat a pistol wielding opponent in a one-on-one. So really, anything can defeat a shotgunner as long as you don't let them get close. For those considering to wield shotguns to go in close quarters.... don't bother really. All you need is your melee attack, instant death from behind and powerful from the front. It's also a good idea to just go for head shots up close and lob plasma grenades on them to ensure their death whatever happens.

6. against a guy w/ an assault rifle

counter- ARs are perfected for interrupting one's zoom mode and pinning peoiple down. It's also great for bull-rushing opponents and going all-out. Although, at far range, it's very unn-accurate. The clever far-ranged AR wielding opponent will use short bursts but it's to slow. People mainly use it in close-combat and from behind, so get as far as possible and just use any weapon (apart from shotgun). If you decide to stay close (like, almost point blank or point blank), crouch and blast them with a shotgun. ARs will always aim for your head no matter what, as repeated bullets hitting your head will kill. So just duck. It confuses them and they will have to aim down. But by that time, they'll be dead from your shotgun blast. I recommend only going close if you do have a shotgun.

7. against a guy w/ a plasma weapon

counter- powerful and tormenting. Plasma weapons slow you right down. Caught from behind, you're almost certainly dead. Getting used to high sensitivity can help against them attacking from behind as you can spin around and pop 'em. Although against plasma wielding opponents, it's best to run from them if you are hit from behind. Run to cover and then ready for them so you can counter attack them, with any weapon really. A plasma weapon yourself would be a good idea. If you don't have a plasma weapon, just strafe around them (close range), changing your direction all times and keep shooting them, whackin gthem etc. Plasma weapons are very effective, but are slower than bullets. But not alot slower. Plasma weapons are almost useless against somebody at far range. It's a good idea to let their weapon over-heat before charging at them. Taking far shots with a pistol or sniper works wonders. As for the needler, it's very slow so just take cover when they hit so the needles won't reach and dig in. If you're close by an dthey un-load a whole clip on you... charge at them. They may have killed you, but you'll take him with you. Keep shooting as you do this, however, as you don't want them to shoot you with another weapon or run away so you don't get to them.

8. against a guy w/ a rocket

counter- jumping does nothing but garauntee a more cool looking death as it just sends your body higher into the air. Great for the comedy vaule though. Try to stay at a higher ground and jump at them, it's very difficult for them to hit you directly and unless they're stupid, they won't shoot you at point blank range. Never run in an obvious path as they'll aim before you and will bin. Standing still and shooting them could help as you can then run either way. Alot of rocket launcher wielding opponents will jump to get a clear shot at the ground around you. When they shoot, you might consider running even under or past their rocket towards you as it's quicker to get out of it's blast range. If you think they might shoot at you point blank range, only charge if they are reloading, they'll be dead before they finish. Charge in with any weapon, but preferrably shotgun or pistol shots to head.

I play the game with shields off and 100% health, so if oyu play the game with shield on, some of my strategies may not help you. I can't see why not though.

haha ur one to talk about spelling, half of ur post is mis-spelled idiot. And if your friend is that good tell him i will see him at nationals, and by the way. winngin a 4player ffa is easy as shit, i beat me vs 4 friends (system link) by 20-30 kills everytime and they all own the game and arent bad. I dont dont really care if u believe because u will probably just say "WOW i bet ur a lier, and if u arent ur friends suck. and im a fag" So all im saying tell ur friend to enter nationals and ill see his ass there. o ya, considering your so good w/ strategies, why dont u enter the tourney, u gotta be good?

Thank you, but I'm no strategist. The strategies that MC listed are pretty much universal, I only disagree with one. However, his strategy in some video game isn't what is pissing me off, it's his attitude.
Wow, a great example of ignorant hypocracy.
God, no one cares.
It's the same old thing over and over again, "Ur a homosexual" or "I'm so much better at some trivial video game than you". Face it MC, you've run out of weak insults. Maybe you could try some that actually make sense. Or you could just shut up and step down. Quit being so arrogant. Being better at Halo doesn't make you a better human being.

SEAREX UR AN IDIOT. i was only making fun of his spelling cause he says im dumb cause i dont spell great, which i dont. but he doesnt spell great as well. all the things i said was because he was talking about em, so i dont give a crap if u dont care

Right... just keep thinking that I'm the idiot here.
Well than you might want to consider making your posts more intelligible, so people can actually understand what the Hell you're saying. And he never said that you were dumb because you can't spell, he said it makes you look dumb, which it does.
So you were basically making one big "I know you are, but what am I?!" joke... mature, really mature.
Don't worry, it isn't just little ol' me that doesn't care, NO ONE cares.

who cares about spelling! jeez, i might want to have this thread closed if it gets any worse. STOP FIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:flames: :flames: :flames: :rant: :rant: :rant:

...



*counts to 10 to relax* *didn't work*


Ok thats it... Normally, I'm a peaceful chap, but now I'll make an exception... I just wanted to give some strategies and some techniques for y'all to learn and use, and be a good member and post a non spam message... what the f*ck have I done to you to be treated like that? That just ain't fair!

What gives you the right to call people names and pretend you're a better person? Stop acting like a baby and get over it! You're just pathetic with your 'Ooh! I'm far more superior with halo than you are!' and ' Ooh! you can't spell!' and 'Ooh, you're a homosexual!' STOP SHITTING OUTTA YER MOUTH FOR SATAN'S SAKE!

Ok people, since he's violating rule 1 of the Forum Rules:

I suggest he sould get at least get a warning, if not a ban. I'm going to report this thread to the mods now.

*clicks 'Report this post to a Moderator*

i totaly agree, you make a better negotiator then i do. Moderator, i take full responsability for this thread, i started it after all.

Thank U

Now Now, Please guys dont let this get any worse. Alpha Scrab, you could easily be breaking rules by putting just the words Thank
you and nothing else. Read the rule above.

Seems like you broke two rules right there. Now Im not going to report this because Im not a jerk, nor am I going to bust you for something like this. But please if you are offended by something he says, send him a PM please. And not have the whole community turn Ferril's Topics into flaming spam fests. Or just ignore what He says. Ok. End of discussion. I'm Not taking any sides here, Im just trying to settle this peacefully.


-Sincerely Al the Vykker FC Mod

cheers, its F E R I L L, lots of people make that mistake.

going back to strategies...heres mine!

Against Tank: get in as close as you can and lob a few P. grenades....or a frag underneath it! rockets are good.

Against Warthog: AR's work excellent and P. rifles, well placed grenades are good.

Against Ghost: grenades, rockets, tanks!

Against Pistol: P.rifle or sniper.

Agaisnt AR: anything.

Against Shotgun: keep far away and use a P.rifle

Against Rockets: get in close and melee or snipe, jumping the rockets help.

Against Sniper: find where he/she/it is, and either snipe them, or find a good cover spot and pelt them with frags and P. grenades!

Against P. Rifle: P.Greandes and rockets.

Against P. Pistol: same as above.

Against needler: Anything!

i dont really have any strategys, i stick with shotgun, AR. Or pistol, AR. I guess you could say i'm a "shocktrooper"

i got 2 halo things up in the member art and literature if anyone's interested.

Whats wrong with a Needler? ever shot a whole clip of needles onto somebody? If you did, then you should know that he was dead.

With AR, you need at least 2 clips to kill some-1, assumed you have 100 % health and shields on

With Sniper Rifle, you need 1 shot, but you have to aim carefully.
Plus, you only have 4 chances to kill him, cuz then your clip is empty.

With Rocket Launcher it is kinda hard to kill some-1, cuz the rocket is slow. Plus, only 2 shots.

Shotgun has slow firerate

Needler has the 2nd fastest firerate, PLUS it is homing. Sure, it ain't no Sniper Rifle, but fire in open rooms, or in tight hallways, and the enemy is as good as dead. By the way, nothing is more satisfying than to unload a whole clip onto some-1, and then be killed, and then laugh your guts out, cuz the other 1 explodes cuz of all the needles...

Overall, I think Needler, Pistol, Plasma Rifle and P. Pistol are great weapons

What makes me laugh is that my post had one or two typos (that I did spot as I browsed down it) and his was riddled with 'em. Come on, Typos can't be that frequent unless you can't spell or you're going for 1,000 words per minute. "i cna tpey at hosnd wrds a minut"

I don't even know any details about the national Halo gaming crap and I probably wouldn't enter anyway. No doubt it would be fun, but I probably wouln't be able to make it or I couldn't make it anyway. I'm not driving to london or wherever its held (would never be set up where I live) to play on a game that I've owned for months now. Even worse, I'd never fly to another country to do the same either.

And who reall ycares if you can whoop your friends? Like SeaRex said, doesn't make you a better person. And whooping 4 people out of how ever many millions there are in the world doesn't prove anything. But who needs to prove anything anyway? Its a game for god's sake, and I play for fun, not to compete. Me and my friends soemtimes joke about it, like "give me a sniper rifle and I'll cap yo ass" and things like that, but we laugh about it. I'm willing to bet that you jump to your feet and yell at the top of your lungs whenever you get killed or when you win. You probabl ydance about and wreck the joint to celebrate too, whilst your friends look on in confusion.

I actuall yhave tried to put some stuff aside and actually tal kto you, but whatever you say to this pathetic excuse for a human being, he'll turn it around and throw it in your face. Got a strategy to share? Not with him, he'll just call you crap and challenge you into the nationalists because "you think you're so good".

Do us all a favour and get a life. Or piss off preferably.
