How to become a halo player.?

I never like it before, but since i got no games to play with i decided to pick it up and is not bad at all.





Can you guys share a little tips for being better online?





Most of the time i feel like just running around and whoever shoots first wins.





Oh, and im kinda confuse on which lobby i should play, care to explain a little?





Most of the time i pick matchmaking and play one game and people always leave after. can i find something to stick with?

How to become a halo player.?
A couple quick tips..





Playing in Ranked matches will place you with other players at a similar skill level.. Sometimes in Social matches you end up with players with much more experience than you have.. However, in the ranked matches you may not be able to stay together after the match..





To start playing with the same people send friend invites to people you have played with.. then watch for the arrows next to their gamertag in your friends list to join them in future games..





Keep moving.. if you stay in one place too long.. especially if you shot at someone from there you will have people coming for you.. until you know the maps better, pick a simple route where you can run in a loop and control a small area.. as you learn the maps better you can expand your patrol area and mix things up a bit..





Whenever you are being shot at JUMP.. it might make them start missing and it gives you a second to figure out where it's coming from..





Use grenades.. as soon as you see someone throw a grenade at them before you start shooting.. it might make the difference..





If people get close use the Melee attack to beat them down.. and if you are behind them use Melee because you will kill them in one hit without them getting a chance to fight back..





Watch your radar (in the lower left corner) it lets you know when people are sneaking up behind you.. radar only tracks players in motion though so if they are standing still you won't see them..





On the team games use a headset and ask questions.. try to coordinate with the other players.. a team working together is hard to beat..





Learn the maps.. use the Theater to revisit games you have played to see where everything is.. you can even view the game through another player so you if you encounter someone really good replay the game and see how they play..
Reply:First of all you should play the campain. The first time on Easy then on normal then on heroic and then on legendary. You'll be a lot better after that. Or you can go on Xbox com. look to the calendar and see when ist the next "beginners evening" for Shooter-games (Halo, Bioshock, CoD, Splinter Cell,...)
Reply:Practice
Reply:first of all its not just running around and shootin everyone you see (except slayer). but you should do campaign and that would get you better. play campaign on all levels. start with easy - normal - heroic- then legendary. if your good at legendary your good at multiplayer. like me i beat legendary on halo 2 dying only 7 times. I KICK *** IN MULTIPLAYER!!!!!!!!
Reply:Really, up close and personal is your best friend. Close range combat is really the majority of kills and deaths in any given game (except Shotty Sniper matches) but even in those games, I like to take the fight to close range. Melee is your friend... Shoot like, just a small amount into your enemy, then smack them with melee and they're down, it doesn't take much.


According to my career stats on Bungie.net, out of like the 1200 kills I have so far, the highest # of them are a result of melee...ALSO, out of all my deaths, the highest # of them are a result of being melee-ed down as well.
Reply:Omg yer exact same feeling! I HATED halo soo much and i just bought a 360 for the sole purpose to play it online. It can be whoever shoots first wins but if you get a few tactics like sniping or taking vantage points and picking of a few people, that will make your game feel a lot more bette than if you just ran around like a chicken firing at anyone. I recommend completing the game on each level then you will get what i mean!
