Mastered light rifle and unsc loadout. Tips for carbine please as I’m getting smashed. Whats the best game type and tactic please?
If your working on the Commendation, its best to generally carry the DMR or BR as a Primary, with Carbine as your Secondary using Firepower.
In Close Range use the Carbine to overwhelm your opponents with its rate of fire, this works especially well in BTB in closer ranges.
Try and surprise people and get a few shots on them before they notice you.

Done… that’s so the way to do it. Forgot about having it as secondary
When I did it, I carried it as my secondary in objective playlists.
Granted I hated myself for not carrying the flag, but at least that gun is done.
I have been using the Carbine with the Autosentry to help get the kills faster, but I still have some games that I struggle. You’ll need to utilize your teammates more than ever if you are going to use the Carbine. I’m also working towards getting the commendation.
Go into Regicide with PP and Dexterity.

Pretty much this ^
Since the Carbine gets absolutely destroyed by the current DMR, and since everyone uses the DMR, you have to ambush everyone. If it was a BR, LR, or another Carbine you were going against, the fights would be fair. Against the current DMR, you can’t go head-to-head with it; You’ll lose every time unless the other guy somehow sucks with the gun.
Also, after winning a fight, run away. The Carbine cannot kill two people (unless all 8 of your shots on each guy are perfect). There’s no point in fighting a second person.
The Carbine is a different type of weapon than the DMR and BR. Generally, in a head to head fight with a DMR or BR user, who is at least a decent shot, you will lose. When using the Carbine, it’s important to be cautious and stealthy; getting the jump on the an enemy is key.
The Carbine is most effective when used in conjunction with an armor ability such as Hologram, Promethean Vision, or Active Camo. I personally like the Hologram because in Halo 4, unlike Halo Reach, it shows up as an indistinguishable red dot on the radar. When using your armor ability, remember that the goal is to surprise your enemy and get the first shot. If you can get 1 or 2 shots into your enemy before they respond, you’ll most likely win.
It would be smart to use the Dexterity package as that will allow you to take further advantage of the Carbine’s high fire rate.
Another useful tip is to stay close to teammates. You’ll find that the Carbine is excellent at cleaning up kills, quickly taking out those with little to no shields.
Again, the Carbine is a weapon that benefits those who play more cautiously. You will not be able to rampage around like you can with a DMR or BR (assuming you’re a good enough shot). Used right, though, the Carbine can be an absolute blast and an effective gun.
Good luck.
