General Halo 3 Tips and Strategy

Master Chief

General Halo 3 Strategy - When you’re in a bubble shield and your sheilds are down, you are only safe to an extent! Someone will come in and kill you. If you are lucky enough to have any type of sticky grenade stick it to them and jump out. BOOM! Most of the time, they’re dead and you’re not.

Grenades Pro Tip - Focus on grenade placement. Learn level geometry to be better with brute grenades.

Grenades - This isn’t an ordered “Top Ten” list, but Grenades would be #1 if it were. Simply, the man who uses grenades will defeat the man without in an overwhelming majority of scenarios, and it’s surprising how many players treat them as their last line of defense. As long as you’re not fighting on a narrow ledge, you should be throwing Frag and Plasma grenades before you shoot (and during shooting, of course). And you throw grenades at an enemy’s feet, not their head. If they’re backing towards a wall, throw it past them. The goal is to explode it near them, not on them (unless you’re trying to stick them with a Plasma or Spike grenade). The more you throw, the more accustomed you’ll get to leading them — throwing it where they’re going to be rather than where they are — but for now just focus on making grenades an immediate go-to part of your arsenal, and make sure you have a couple on you at all times (more important than, say, going out of your way for the rocket launcher).

Grenade Jumping - This is a skill that is going to take some time to master. The goal is to throw a frag grenade ahead of you so that you can be at the apex of your jump as it blows underneath you, launching you even higher into the air. A skilled player will be able to use this technique to get to places that would otherwise require a Grav Lift.

Halo 3 Tips - How to pactice your halo 3 sniping

Master Chief

Sniping is a lot of fun (at least that is my opinion). It is even more fun if you are one of the best in sniping! That is why we share these halo 3 sniping tips with you.

On Construct, in the area where the default sword is, you have a small area with thin edges where you’re able to look out into the ‘forbidden’ area’ where when you jump off you’ll fall to your death.

If you look, you can see these small like “robot-things” flying around into their repetitive destination. Anyways, if you were to have a custom game, with default sniper and unlimited ammo, you could sit on the edge and try and kill as many of the flying robots as you can [Yes, when you hit them they blow up, and they MUST be enemies since your reticule turns red once you get your cross hairs on them].

It’s pretty good, and I’ve been doing it for a bit now and have seen a pretty good outcome in better sniping. It’s good and lets you practice learning to follow your enemy better [since they fly up] and somewhat helps you have a better sense at aiming for the head [since the robots are relatively small that they could have the same hitbox, or a bit more, as a spartan helmet].

Halo 3 Tips - The Bubble Shield

Master Chief

The bubble shield is basically just a shield that stops fast moving objects such as grenades and bullets, but it doesn’t stop vehicles! It is mostly used to just get cover when being attacked.

Here are some halo 3 tips on how to effectively use the bubble shield:

1. If you’re not sure that you can handle the attacker just go stand behind the bubble shield (now you basically have two barriers between you and the attackers)

2. Remember that you can’t deploy the bubble shield while holding a machine gun turret, missile put etc.

3. If you have an opponent walking towards your bubble shield, just throw a grenade and then quickly walk out of the bubble shield and hopefully watch him get blown to pieces.

4. If you have a shotgun, mauler etc then just lure people into your shield and then shoot them (Smart players probably won’t go in as they see the sword or shotgun so don’t make it seem to obvious)

5. If you for some reason wanted to destroy the shield then just destroy the shield emitter (the thing in the middle
of the shield)

6. Remember that the shield gives you cover from all directions, so even from above and therefore also from air attacks.

7. Don’t forget that a vehicle can easily still splatter you if you forget that they can get trough the shield!

8. The shield is very handy for controlling a territory as its fairly easy to defend a covered area (also handy for capture the flag!).

9. You can drop a bubble shield while holding a flag!

10. If you get yourself in a situation where you’re running for your life, just throw your shield and keep on running (the attackers can’t hit you as the shield is between you and them)

Be social, throw a bubble shield at team members as you think that they need it! Also, if you have a sniper then just aim for somebody and then walk just outside the shield and shoot him (you can do this with a laser too (just charge it inside!). But this still isn’t all, you can even use a bubble shield in the air! All you have to do is throw it in some kind of gravity lift and go in right after it for cover while in the air! This I think is about it, so good luck and I hope these halo 3 tips were helpful to you!

More Halo 3 Tips

Master Chief

It seems like Halo 3 Tips is something a lot of people are looking for! That is why we decided to share more halo 3 tips with you halo 3 addicts!

Sniping:

When you’re working on your own no-scopes try to have a steady control of your shot instead of wildly sweeping across an opponent’s head or body in hopes of a lucky kill. You don’t need head shots with the sniper. In Halo 3 especially, where the sniper’s firing rate is slower you can go for an easier body shot if you’re at enough of a distance to confidently finish them off with your secondary weapon.

Power Items:

Every advanced player, through habit and constant communication, knows when all the power items will return. In hotly contested games, the difference between a win or loss can be a single power item. Even if you’re practicing in matchmaking by yourself, always be mindful of as many of the important items and weapons on the map as possible. This will make you a better player immediately, as you will consider power itesms as part of how you position yourself and play a map.

General Halo 3 Strategy:

Don’t give up on a gun fight in Halo 3. Many Halo 2 players seem to forget that auto-aim has been drastically reduced in Halo 3. This places emphasis on aiming and means that you can come back in a battle rifle fight even if you’re one shot down. Great players never let up until they are in the death screen.

King of the Hill Tips:

  • Know your hill spawn locations.
  • Remember to duck. In general, if you need to get away, it’s wise to look at the ground to show the enemy less of your head.
  • Similar to oddball, over time a wise player learns when to leave a damaged enemy alone and instead garner some points. In a similar vein, know when to take a death.
  • Use the red X. The red Xs that indicates where you teammates have died. Throughout the game, being particularly mindful of where your squadmates die will let you know where the enemy may be located. Always keep this in mind.

Halo 3 Live Tips

Master Chief

More Halo 3 live tips for you addicts! If you have any additions on these halo 3 tips please leave them in a comment so we can discuss them further!

Construct Map Tip
:

Basically near the ramp by orange lift you can often spawn with only an AR and someone will beat down on you with a BR from the top of the ramp but if you turn and run and then hide under the ramp the person will usually think you have jumped off and try to follow you to the lower levels, except at this moment you can follow him and rain down automatic fire from above.

Strafing Tip:

Strafe a few times crouch - then jump. It’s not a routine but I throw off a lot of people with something that simple. Since some players try and play on a higher sensitivity, when they try and aim up and catch you in your jump it completely throws off their reticle. Be unpredictable for the most part.

Bubble Shield Tip:

To get some quick laser kills…while in the bubble shield start charging your laser with the sight on the enemy.. right before it goes off poke your laser out from behind the shield and torch the enemy. This keeps you safe while charging the laser and the enemy can’t see your laser while youre doing it.

Halo 3 Cheats, Glitches, Tips and Easter Eggs

Master Chief

This video is full of halo 3 cheats, glitches, tips and easter eggs! It is a fairly long video (almost 10 minutes), but really worth checking out. It has some interesting glitches and tips in it which I have never seen before! This guy also finds something interesting on the skulls! They are marked? or signed, what is that all about? In the comments of the video people are saying the skulls are marked because they are dead spartans! Could be true, but I am not sure about this, why would spartans have this in the back of their skull / head ??

Other people think it are dead soldiers and they were marked before going to battle? In the Halo world you never know! If you think you know the answer, please leave it in a comment so we can discuss or check / think about it.

Anyway, this video is worth checking out:
