Halo 3 Strategy and Tips

[Stylesrj]

I once made a floating Radio antenna. It came with a sniper post and a hanging Traxus Crate

 

[choxorn]

You mean in Forge? Yeah, there's some pretty odd stuff you can do in forge.

Like picking up a turret that someone is in- you can even drag them outside the map this way! Or flipping the Elephant...

I saw a Donkey Kong map made on Forge.

 

[Stylesrj]

Someone used Standoff (wish I had the map pack) and created a Super Mario thing with floating platforms and Custom Powerups as coins...
I saw it in a video though, they played the Mario theme as well

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

Has anyone here made an elephant fly?

Here is how to do it.

Same goes for construct. You can make a fusion coil spawn instantaneously in the lifts, and then come back instantly and blow up again! It's really funny to see somebody to get killed that way.

 

[Stylesrj]

Funny thing: I did it today

I made an Elephant fly continuously and made a map out of it. So you can play Slayer or CTF or whatever, but the twist is that an elephant is flying around the map and it might crush you (in a very slim chance, but funny if it does get you)

Haven't tried it in a match against Stylesjl, but I bet it will be sweet and reduce frame rate so I can get him!

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

Not a tip really, but I really need to know how your reputation is calculated on Xbox Live. Wikipedia needs to explain it better.

Here's my tip: Practice a lot with the battle rifle because once you get good with it, it's a beastly weapon.

 

[Stylesrj]

Battle Rifle rules.
I'm trying to work on my sniper skills though.

How'd you do it? Grav lifts?

 

[Stylesrj]

I put a Grav Lift in the Elephant somewhere. I set it's spawn to always be one on the elephant, some with the coils and cores.
It's fun, but it slows the frame rate waaay down

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

So it's on the Elephant, pushing upwards on it?

 

[Stylesrj]

No, the coils do all the pushing. The grav lift makes sure the coils fall and explode. The lift is placed inside the elephant, preferably after all the explosives are set in place and secured.
It saves me having to light the fuse every time it stops or at the start.

The Elephant is self-starting basically. You don't even need to throw a grenade in to get it cooking. It'll cook in a few seconds or in 30 seconds if nothing explodes and the coils respawn to fly up again

 

[Stylesrj]

But in some maps though, the coils will spawn in the middle of the map and keep dropping from there.
Oh and the Elephant you put them in goes missing. I dunno why that happens

It's amazing against the Flood in SP, but pretty useless in MP.

You and everyone else on Live. It don't work there.

 

[choxorn]

Yeah, the battle Rifle, and Assault Rifle as well, are powerful weapons in the hands of someone who knows how to use them...

...And has grenades.

 

[Stylesrj]

Firebomb grenades are nasty. Too bad they're not in any standard map. Because Firebomb Grenades are powerful!

Battle Rifle is good when finishing off an enemy Two bullets take the shield out and the third bullet headshots.

 

[D0NIMATRIX]

Thank you for answering my question.

Tip: Needler with practice<Assault rifle with practice

 

[Red Door]

Thank you for answering my question.

Tip: Needler with practice<Assault rifle with practice

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.)

 

[Stylesrj]

I used the Needler at times. It was surprising after killing 5 Brutes with it in The Covenant that I got an award for it. I had no other ammo available, not even Carbine rounds. I wanted to preserve my Spartan Laser.

The SMG is a weapon that's rarely found in the Campaign and I don't use it often because of it

 

[choxorn]

Yeah, the Assault Rifle is way better than SMG's, and Needlers just suck. They NEVER hit their target.
