My Halo 3

Title Update 2 is nearly upon us. In preperation, Bungie has released their weekly update on a Thursday. It sounds like they’re aniticpating armageddon when TU2 goes live. Here’s some things they’re anticipating when TU2 goes live:

“Title Update 2 will download when you log in to Halo 3 on September 23rd. Smart alecky types guessed it would be either today (the 18th) or the 23rd as we make a habit of doing our updates on pretty particular days. If you poke around you’ll see that some stuff has changed here on Bungie.net, some of that stuff will flick on when TU2 turns on next week, and some of it is Live now. 

When TU2 goes live next week we fully expect a crazy period in Matchmaking. See, there will be a period after TU2 goes live where not everyone will have the Title Update for a number of weird reasons like: You left your box on and the TU came out so folks who turn their boxes on are getting the new patch and you’re playing the previous version of the game; Your Xbox doesn’t recognize a new patch (clear your boxes’ cache - Go to the System blade and select Memory. Press Y on the HD symbol and then press X, X, LB, RB, X, X. If you did this properly a message will appear saying: Do you want to perform maintenance on your Xbox 360 storage device. Selet the “yes” equivalent and then boot up Halo 3) or any number of other weird issues like the host has TU2 and the client doesn’t or the client has TU2 and the host is on TU1, it’s going to be a bit like the end of Ghostbusters, but we promise, that even though it seems like Matchmaking has fallen into the gaping maw of cement cracks - it will climb out. 

We expect all of these issues to resolve within four or five hours of TU2 going live. We will be watching it closely.”

From now on we will share more halo 3 tips and tricks that are useful in your gameplay! This halo 3 blog will also get a redesign in the upcoming month! Expect new and hot sections with downloads and the latest halo 3 live news! Lets kick off with some halo 3 tips:

Spartan Laser Tip:

In stealth, continuously charge your laser half-way until you spot an opponent. After you spot an opponent, stand behind a wall while charging the laser giving yourself just enough time to sneak out and hit your target without having to wait. This also prevents enemies from noticing the red laser. (source: mlgpro.com, added May 3, 2008)

Battle Rifle Tips & Strategy:

One thing that needs to be emphasized to a halo player (especially newcomers to the game) is the importance of the battle rifle. If you look at the stats of ANY pro the battle rifle will be their tool of destruction raking in around 30% of their kills. It may be discouraging at first due to the fact that the reticule of the battle rifle is much smaller than that of the assault rifle which makes it harder to hit you’re mark. However if you stick with it the reward is well worth your time. Here are some tips for using the battle rife:

1. Aim for the neck! When you shoot the rifle will kick up a bit resulting in the bullets landing in a higher place than you are actually aiming. If you aim for the upper neck to chin area all of the bullets (battle rifle has a three shot burst) will land right in his face.

2. You have to slightly lead you’re targets when they are moving. Unlike in halo 2, it takes you’re battle rifle shot a fraction of a second to get to wherever it’s going. So if someone is running left to right and you’re aiming for the center of their head, the bullets will fly behind him. However if you aim for the right side of the head you’re targets forward motion will cause you to hit around his ear.

3. Move when you shoot! If you are standing still you are an easy target. Try to strafe left to right while fighting with the battle rifle (or any gun for that matter).

Start using the battle rifle as much as possible and apply the techniques listed above. In time you should get so used it that you feel naked without one. Instead of chasing someone from 50 yards away, tearing up the sky with you’re blazing assault rifle, you can be increasing you’re teabag count on a pile of dead bodies.
