Halo 3 Strategy and Tips

[Stylesrj]

Needlers can hit the target. Stylesjl used it to a great extent in Narrows. I'd be trying to shoot him and he'd blow me up with the pink mist. Don't disregard the pink mist, it can a feared weapon.
Other than that, use grenades and battle rifle to the head or a shotgun

Needlers suck. I've never had use for that gun except when I desperately need it (as in, every other gun is low or out of ammo.)

Fear the Pink Mist!

The needler is deadly at medium range. As long as the targeting reticle is red, hold the fire button to unleash the pink needles. Having tracked the enemy, enough needles stuck in an enemy will cause an explosion, which is usually lethal, or at the very minimum, able to strip shields off in an instant.

You wanna strip off shields? Then use a Plasma Pistol Overcharge.

 

[Stylesrj]

I've ran into Needler problems with Stylesjl. My Sword or Hammer can't kill him in time and then I explode in a pink cloud and die. It's a weapon to be feared, but Stylesjl needs to pick something better for battling me, as the Needler isn't efficient or something, because when he kills me with it, I'm actually within range of it, which I shouldn't be.

To me, the only advantage of needlers is that they can bounce off of walls. Target tracking is put in to balance out the fact that they shoot too fast for their own good, have too little ammo, and on top of all that their needles aren't fast at all.

You wanna strip off shields? Then use a Plasma Pistol Overcharge.

Plasma pistol + SMG/Spiker = Death

Questions: What is reputation? What sensitivity do you guys play on?

Tip: The brute shot is a very good weapon for confusing the enemy, so use it a lot.

 

[choxorn]

The Brute Shot can also be used as an anti-vehicle weapon, so long as the vehicle is a Mongoose, Warthog, or Ghost.

If you can hit them...

 

[Stylesrj]

I know what you mean about the Brute Shot. Sometimes Stylesjl uses it. I can't see what the heck is going on and then I'm dead.
I like playing on Narrows, it's a very good map for this sort of thing. I made my own modified version that I find really awesome. It's got fusion coils at each mancannon and there's a stack of immobile crates guarding the blue base, so that I can't stand in yellow and snipe Stylesjl at the blue mancannon lower level where he mostly spawns at.

I also added a Gravity Hammer, Swords, a Beam Rifle, Firebomb Grenades, Spike Grenades, a Fuel Rod Gun and a Flamethrower. These weapons are on floating platforms above the Rocket Launcher and can only be reached by grav lifts placed nearby.
There's even a Trip Mine and Custom Powerup up high.
Too bad I can't share the awesome with you guys, as I don't have Live

It also tracks its targets when charged.

Get it...Live calls to you...you feel sleepy...you feel sleepy...your hands are reaching for your wallet...so sleepy...now go to sleep and dream of live...

Tip: Find all of the maps' secret spots as well as this trick.

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

I still want to know what reputation is...

Tip: Power drains disable vehicles, so use them wisely, especially on Valhalla.

 

[Stylesrj]

An overcharged plasma pistol shot can bring any vehicle to a halt as well.
A jackal once did that to my Warthog. It stopped and then a Grunt threw a grenade on it. I died.

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

The best way to bring a vehicle to a halt is either with a rocket launcher/pod or a stick grenade.

What is reputation?

 

[choxorn]

NOBODY KNOWS.

If you ram a chopper head on into another vehicle, the other vehicle explodes (unless it is a Scorpion, Wraith, Banshee, or Elephant). If that other vehicle is a chopper, make sure you use the boost button, or you'll explode too.

Really? So that's why all those Xbox Live people always try to crush my vehicles.

Try to skyjack, it can really confuse the enemy. Also, use the shotshield: throw down a bubble shield and hide within with a shotgun. Enemies are tempted to come in, and when they do–BAM!!!!

 

[choxorn]

If you have a Shotgun, and your enemy has an Energy Sword, fire as soon as he rushes you, you'll kill him and he won't kill you. Takes a LOT of skill (or luck), I've never done it before.

That's a bulltrue. You can jump and shotgun the head of the other dude, or RB–B in quick succession to shotgun–beatdown the other guy. It also works with the brute shot, the missile pod, the rocket launcher, and the mauler(s).

Otherwise jump and try to stick the guy.

Tip: On some levels, you can jump to places you normally can't reach by jumping and creating an upward force below you (frag/sticky grenades, rockets, grav. hammer, exploding fusion coils, etc).

 

[Stylesrj]

A few times I'd get a bulltrue. But I'm usually the one with the sword and Stylesjl shotguns or needles me and he gets the bulltrue.

Sometimes he even gets a Bulltrue with the hammer! Of all things!

But this is mostly played on Narrows. Sometimes we try my variant of snowbound with the underground entrances in each base blocked by immoveable blocks and I put a Chopper and Mongoose in the central part with a flamethrower, so you got ducking around the two vehicles while some guy tries to burn you.

I also added two Wraiths and easily accessed rocket launchers and Fuel Rod Guns.
I placed a Custom Powerup up high that can be accessed by a teleport, but you also need skill to reach it as it would not be in front of you.
I call it Heavybound due to the Wraiths at either base and all the weapons available to smash them to reduce the advantage in a two player game

Get Live. I want to see those maps.

Tip: When playing shotty snipers, learn a way to get in up and personal without getting sniped and shotgun down the best snipers. I got an open season (10 shotgun kills in a row) on High Ground that way. The other lamos you can just snipe, or you can shotgun them too. I got an overkill like this on the same map on the same game.

*checks wallet*
Any air in there guys?

I don't think the maps I made are good for anything above 4 players. I mean, I once had 3 players on it, but Mjwhear (who is a Real Life friend who goes here from time to time) is terrible and only gets lucky kills and complains a lot

The more the merrier.

If you have enough people it will just be nonstop slaughter, and everybody knows how fun nonstop slaughter is.

Has anybody downloaded the Heroic/Legendary Map pack?
