HALO Tips

Go back to the Tiporium Index Shoot the Brown Stuff! By: Sno It's not as sick as it sounds, but it IS helpful!. When fighting a Hunter, there IS an easy way to kill them (but it takes skillz). Know how they dash after you? (Of course you do...we ALL hate it!) Well when a Hunter dashes at you, strafe left/right. Meanwhile, turn towards the Hunter. As it passes, look for some brown spots on its back/side. Fire at will. The blue on a Hunter is armor, and the brown is its soft tissue. Soft enough to kill them in one go. If you can't find the brown, kill a Hunter any way you wish, then look at the dead body and search for it. Trust me it's there. Now you can safely go Hunter hunting! Tuff Tank By: Sno When playing against a friend (or enemy :-)) with tanks, there are some helpful tips to remember. If you are in a tank, don't forget that the grenade button is a machine gun. While your waiting for your missiles to reload, pour on the lead. If you are trying to get someone from a distance, turn the tank around (facing the opposite way of the enemy) and turn only the turret towards the enemy (just turn like normal without moving forward or backward). Now they can't snipe your head in the cockpit. And that brings us to our next tip. No, it's not a rumor. You can snipe a head in a tank and it will do MUCH more damage. Another good defensive against a tank that is right next to you is to throw a bunch of plasma grenades on it, then run like hell! One last tip for inside the tank, and it's a great tip. Trying to get someone from a looong distance? If you are on a team, get a friend with a sniper rifle to aim in the direction of a target, using the scope. Now use your tank's machine gun, aiming at the same target. Look at your friend's screen and find your machinegun fire their scope. Use it to aim more precisely. Now fire a rocket and SABAM! They never saw it coming! Weapon Strategy By: Sno When playing in a deathmatch, you usually want one weapon for close range and another for distance. Close range weapons, ranked from strongest to weakest (in my eyes) are: Shotgun, Machinegun, Needler, Plasma Rifle, Plasma Pistol. Long range in the same order are: Sniper Rifle, Pistol, Rocket Launcher, Plasma Pistol. "Pistol better than Rocket Launcher?!?!" you say, well let me explain. The Pistol and RL have the same scope, 2X. However, the RL takes a while for its rocket to get there. This is only better than the Pistol if the target is immobile (or just stupid for not movin :-)). The Pistol's bullet gets to the enemy immediately, an instant hit. Just remember this.
