Halo 3 Strategy and Tips

[Stylesrj]

Work together in Lone Wolves and use the language filter trick.

That's how a lot of people got their katanas. If you want to do it the honest way, keep playing and if the opportunity arises, you'll get it. Just keep playing.
I gotta get Live! I really want to see how good the other Elite permutations will go for my Elite... (although the Combat helmet stays. I love that helmet!)

I'll never do that. Boosting and cheating isn't a fun way to get achievements.

Can anyone give tips on how to get the Killing Frenzy, Stepping Razor, Two for One, and Overkill achievements?

The killing frenzy and overkill are most easily won either on Narrows with a shotgun in Team Slayer or Team BRs, or on High Ground in Shotty Snipers. However, since you only get them in Lone Wolves, and I don't know if Shotty Snipers is a game on Lone Wolves, then just play Lone Wolves and hope for Narrows.

Try to take the shotgun to the brown base, for some reason it's easier to score the awards there.

I found the spawning points at blue base's mancannon a very easy way to get a cheap kill. You stand at brown base's mancannon area and use the Sniper Rifle. For some reason, 75% of the spawning by Stylesjl takes place in that area (75% of the spawning in that area there takes place below the mancannon)

In my Narrows variant, to stem this constant spawning in the lower area, I blocked it off with immovable crates so I can't snipe him. But if I move to the side, I can hit the carefully stacked Fusion Coils I placed there, not so I can get a cheap kill, but also prevents the use of the mongoose or Ghost over the mancannon as there's a chance on impact it sets off the cores and a free kill!
Sometimes a trip mine there also works for an easy kill.

I think the game has a special engine for determining respawn points based upon enemy proximity and game score. Me and my friends play on Standoff, a map in the Heroic Map pack that's awesome for sniping, and it seems as if the game always makes us respawn behind the guy who killed us so that we can get revenge.

But if I stand at blue base, the enemy does not respawn at the bottom of the mancannon or above it in Brown. They spawn in the Spiker Area of Blue base or in the middle of Brown Base or in the Spiker Area of Brown Base.

I once accidentally deleted the spawn point at the bottom of the mancannon in a variant of Narrows. I replaced it, but Stylesjl never spawned there again. I think spawn points are scripted. After the cheap kill below the mancannon, he spawns at the spiker area of blue. Then when I kill him, he spawns below the mancannon at blue again.
Sometimes it varies. I kill him below, he spawns above and I kill him again. He then spawns on Blue Side in the middle on a ramp.
Kill him again, he spawns below the mancannon...

I think the engine has different settings for different maps.

@SS18: Grab Energy Sword, find weak group of players. Prepare to get Stepping Razor and Overkill.

I wish I had live, but the location of my Xbox 360 means I don't have an ethernet cable long enough to connect it.

Get a longer one!

Or a wireless network adapter...

 

[choxorn]

I don't need one THAT long, more like 25-50 ft. would work.

Wireless Network Adapater? What's that?

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

Here is the wireless adapter.

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

LIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

Where are all the skulls in the campaign?

[D0NIMATRIX]

Thanks.

And, I have another tip: Remember, in Halo 2 (and I think also Halo 3), the Ghost and Banshee blow up again and shoot off in some direction after blowing up the first time. Make sure you are not close to this explosion.

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

Trip mines do not kill you in one hit, but will destroy vehicles in one hit (except maybe tanks).

EDIT: BTW chox did you get live yet?

 

[choxorn]

Not yet.

I don't own an xbox but I played in this giant LAN thing my friends set up once. I find it mostly comes down to who-sees-who first.

1. BR is your best friend
2. Dual Plasma rifles + Green thumb = Uber wacky machine
3. Play social until you get good
4. "Woo! I'm a Lieutenant Grade 3" is never a good thing to say
5. If you happen to be a Lieutenant grade 3 please listen to that Colonel that keeps on telling you to drop the single spiker.
