Halo 3 Strategy and Tips

[SS-18 ICBM]

Then you really cannot say players on Xbox Live will massacre you.

 

[Stylesrj]

Yes i can, because in Halo 2 it happened to me a lot. So if Halo 3 is anything like Halo 2 (but with more guns and same graphics and different maps) then I'll get massacred if I get Xbox Live

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

Did they have matchmaking on Halo 2?

 

[Stylesrj]

It's been a while since I played Halo 2 on Xbox Live, but players don't change over the course of time and they probably are still rocket firing, sniper harlots who scream like 12 year olds into a microphone (like I did because I got upset over this one sniper... everyone thought I was British)

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

Welcome to the internet.
You're always bound to come across some refuse sooner or later.

 

[Stylesrj]

Yes, but in every one of my games...

Anyway, so I won't be playing on Xbox Live too much when I get to it. Probably fork out 10 bucks to get those maps and keep killing Stylesjl before and after I get all my achievements

If Missiles are following you while you're in a Banshee, Turbo around quickly and unpredictably, and use the evades a lot, and they won't hit you.

Never grab 2 weapons that only work at short range, or only at long range. If you do, you'll get pwned by people with assault rifles.

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

A plasma pistol and an SMG are good, since a charged PP can lower shields, and SMGs can finish them off.
For some reason my friends always kill me with dual-wield maulers, is there any way to stop them?

Yes- make sure to be very far away from anyone with a mauler.

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

But it seems as if he still gets me. What can I do to get him 6 ft under?

 

[Stylesrj]

Sniper rifle works well...

My strategy is this (only when I battle Stylesjl or someone, anyone!?):
Sniper rifle and rocket launcher. Rockets are interchangeable with a shotgun.
However, that's asking for an Assault Rifle Pwnage...
How do I stop that?
I get him with the sniper rifle from a long range or grenade spam to make up for my crappy aim

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Yes- make sure to be very far away from anyone with a mauler.

God I love the mauler. Fire once, then wham!

And the needler. I love making enemies explode

 

[choxorn]

If you like making enemies explode, then use Plasma Grenades.

 

[Stylesrj]

Spike Grenades work better.

Maulers are cool, but the Shotgun kicks more butt.
If you want to teach enemies how to fly, gravity hammer works

Can you actually get consistent sticks with stick grenades?

I agree, shotguns are preferable to maulers, since they can carry more ammo and have a good beatdown.

Gravity hammers can also deflect rockets and grenades if timed correctly, since they send out a shockwave in all directions.

 

[choxorn]

Styles, how do you get the spike grenade to ACTUALLY HIT YOUR OPPONENT?

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

I've only gotten one stick with those grenades, though I've heard that they damage them when they pass by them...

And don't their spikes bounce around?

 

[Stylesrj]

A spike grenade can kill if pointed straight at you.

I keep getting sticks with those things in campaign and also with plasma grenades, but Spike Grenades should be easy to stick on someone. You throw them like a plasma

Firebomb grenades are also good as sticky weapons

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

Very often though, it won't stick you.

On the campaign, the AIs never move as irregularly as humans, so sticking with stick grenades should deserve a medal.

They're really hard to get, though. They aren't on any multiplayer maps.

 

[choxorn]

Yeah, no firebomb grenades on mutiplayer, unless you do some editing in forge.
