Hey guys, was just wondering if anyone had any tips for Halo 4 multiplayer? I’m okay at the game, I have a plus 600 K/D, and I have a pretty good aim but I find myself dying quite a lot.
So, any tips or tricks to share?
Dont Rush, walk always aiming a little bit upper, and if a partner is rushing, go behind him covering him and getting kills 
Get a better connection and be always the host. You will feel like god in game…
Dont go into open areas, as you will be DMRed to death.
dont rush thats the key of winning on halo since halo 2 (first online multiplayer) and dont chase !! im a pretty good player and i cant tell u that following those simple tips u will improve ur game, listen to call outs, or learn the call outs, dont be a lone wolf, stay with ur team, do double BR or DMR, and dont ever be a camper(noob).
Few of my own tips tricks and what not:
Dont bum rush
Practice better aim, at the head.
Increase your sensitivity, 7+ helps alot
learn when and how to crouch walk properly, not all the time only in certain opportunities and scenarios.
get good with power weapons
have a good internet connection
be a team player, shoot everything it doesnt matter if you steal kills DO IT!
when shooting a Warthog, shoot the actual gunner not the hog
use the plasma pistol and bolt shot more depending on game type
Smaller maps means use automatic guns, Assault rifle is your friend
Jetpack Imo best equipment
Learn the maps/enviroment
alot more but cant think top my head.
edit:
grenades, get good with aiming them and bouncing them off walls, placement is key.
Pay attention to radar, is a givin
BR > DMR when on a smaller map imo
Vehicles are usually instant death
You cna reload faster than the actual animation if you cancel it by shooting or sprinting. A soon as your ammo bar shows full its done cancel it.(this is in most games i found it out in COD)

increased sensitivity means nothing. it’s only good in swat and snipers.
how many “mlg pros” are there? I can only think of 1 that played on any sensitivity over 6.
DON’T RUSH, seriously the number of people I’ve seen who blindly rush into the fray dying over and over again is ridiculous. They may end up with 18+ kills, but that’s really unimpressive when they die 20+ times. Don’t go flying into the open either especially on maps like Complex for TS or Ragnarok for BTB you will be teamshot to death. Also, precision weapons are your friends.

Its not hard at all to play on a higher sensitivity. If anything snipers need low sensitivity, which i lower mine when i play team snipers to 4 or 5.
But in general higher sense helps you move around faster, turn faster and be able to have an upperhand on someone around you and behind you. Test turning around at sensitivity of 3 compared to 6 or 7. MLG pros? I dont get that comment? people are just bad at video games, thats why real ranking systems on games dont exist, people complain about being stuck and no enjoyment when in reality you are just horrid. I use to play halo 2 at 7+ and im no pro i enjoy winning, as should everyone.
eat pancakes for breakfast.
> eat pancakes for breakfast.
Doritos and Mt. Dew! How else do you expect to level faster and stay up all night?
> eat pancakes for breakfast.
Interesting concept. Do they have to be coconut pancakes? I am more of a chocolate chip pancake man myself. You know who else like chocolate chip pancakes? George Clooney, I eat breakfast like the Stars!!

This made me lol
The biggest remedy of the ‘dying a lot’ problem is to use cover and be mindful of your shields.
Use cover and don’t rush into obvious death zones unless you’re playing KOTH and don’t care about your K/D. When your shields are down, get to cover and let them recharge. Don’t go looking for another battle.
Thanks everyone, really good advice
-
Online play does not do “Tournament play” justice. So take note which skills you wish to hone, the ones that work for online play, or the ones for LAN play.
-
Play Legendary S.OPS and Campaign runs to maintain reflexes when you can’t play actual games. You may not have the human opponent to face, but maintaining thumb-muscle memory via any gamemode is better than not playing in the first place.
-
You must play opponents that are better than you. Be it reflexes, in-game knowledge, something else or all of the above. If you really want to get better than you have to seek the challenge, not wait for it to seek you.
For that you must seek them out. You don’t have to be overly aggressive to be competitive to the point where you pre-judge all, you just have to be aggressive and seek out the next challenge. -
You can’t be afraid to play to lose because you’re playing to learn. You’re not going to get better unless you play opponents of higher reflexes or strategic knowledge than you, but you’re not going to beat the upper echelons unless you have amazing reflexes or gain knowledge that they don’t have.
You either have to beat them at their own game with greater speed, or you have to show them the new way to play. -
Have fun. If you play to win, still have fun. If you’re playing so that others will look up to you but you don’t look up to the game, you’re not going to be nearly as good as you could be or have much fun.
This is where #4 is so important yet so chastised due to it being at odds with wanting to win… But isn’t insanity the result of attempting to do the same thing over and over again while expecting different results?
When you have fun, the game comes naturally. If you love the game/sport, you have your most fun when you play against an opponent that beat you back just as good as you beat them. Winning is only the result of 1 player’s/team’s actions and second only to the respect the two should have for each other if they both love the game and gave their all. -
Make your own style. Don’t do “someone else’s” style, do the best of everyone’s, do the best of what you like most… Just don’t do the best of 1 person.
Here’s a few…
Never sprint around corners or through doorways.
Get a decent headset and listen for nearby footsteps or other helpful audio cues. For example, on Adrift, you can hear when an enemy has jumped into a nearby mancannon and can then plan for his inevitable landing. Same goes for grav lifts.
Never try to assassinate an enemy unless you are confident that none of his teammates are around for a showstopper.
When rounding corners, feel free to shoot before you complete the turn. If nobody is there, no big deal, but if someone is coming down the hallway, you will probably get the drop on 'em.
Don’t always take the shortest route. For example, when starting out on Haven, resist the temptation to run up the ramps to meet the enemy head-on. You’ll probably just score a First Strike for the other guy.
And probably the number 1 piece of advice… when your shields are dropped, hide somewhere and let 'em regenerate. I used to be guilty of this myself. I would be a one shot and would continue rushing into a crowded battlefield in the hopes of snagging a kill before dying. Dumb mistake. Probably the dumbest.

You have a secondary, use it. You’d be surprised the amount of times I’m in a firefight with an enemy and he is reloading his rifle as I pull out the magnum and headshot him.
Find a weapon you like. I personally like the assault rifle, my friend likes the DMR, we know how to use our guns and know paths to take to maximize our kills.
Don’t go into open area’s. No explanation needed.
Mobility, AA efficiency, dexterity, ordinance priority and the extra ammo perk are the best one’s imo.
Jetpack, and promethean vision are probably the two best perks I find right now. Thruster packs are situational, hard-light shield is just garbage unless you are with your buddies, auto-sentry…don’t get me started on this, and the rest can be easily countered. The regenaration field is nice but too long of a recharge to be useful for the most of the match.
Know your maps.
Flank your enemies as much as possible, and know when it is time to run. You may seem like a coward but it is better than giving up a kill.
Lastly, stick with your team-mates, but don’t bunch up.
