How to acheive a high k/d ratio in halo 4

Here are some strategies than work for me:

Higher ground - It cant be stressed enough how important it is. Whether you achieve it with jet packs , jumps or stairs ,it opens you up for better angles and harder to hit viewpoints for your opponents. The halo series has always included Easter eggs of sorts with their map design and the way they incorporate nooks and crannies into their maps. In bigger maps , potentially every rock formation should be explored for hidden make-shift sniper perch’s. Add a dmr to the mix and you’re all set. Just be sure to only fire when confident you will positively effect an outcome. Last thing you want to do is draw atention to yourself with errant fire.

E.O.S ( Element of surprise ) - Far too many take the grunt approach and rush anything in sight. This is a sure fire way to rack up numerous deaths. The more deaths you have the harder it will be to fix your k/d later on down the line. It is essential to set up one-man ambushes and play like a ninja’s mentality. Do not let yourself be seen before engaging. Ever. Spend more time crouching as it steadies your aim better , and constantly use cover as if you are playing on campaign legendary mode. Use a surprise charged up plasma blast and switch over to a mod ranged rifle for a quick noob combo. They are underutilized , and can be such a game changer. They are great starting secondary weapons against vehicles too. Stay on the outskirts of maps with your back to as many walls as possible. Reduce your opponents angles while planning a good escape route. Using promethian vision gives you a great upper hand by allowing you to see an opponents weapon through the wall just before engaging. Also the direction he is facing as well. A very effective form of offensive escape when running from a losing 1 on 1 firefight is running around a corner or into a doorway , activating promethian vision and quickly turning around and timing a grenade as the opponent is entering.

Proper flanking - having the wherewithal to situate yourself near a team mate who is about to engage in a 1 on 1 , and quickly running around and flanking the opponent from the side/back . It’s easier said than done , timing is essential as well as common sense in determining the best moment.

Running gunbutts - when choosing a speed boost from an ordinance drop , go around looking for battles already in progress and get in there and double gunbutt / shorty everyone to death. Again , timing is essential as well as battle IQ.

Feel free to add any more, cheers.

I forgot to add the importance of strafing while in a fire fight. And not just circle strafing but zig zagging. Even when running away from a sniper.

I assume this advice is for ‘Slayer-Based’ games, so I will reply accordingly.

  1. Higher Ground is very important, but that is only because it creates a choke point. The team who has the higher ground has the major advantage. Choke points can often reduce the playability of the maps as holding a choke point is usually easy.
    Ragnarok being a great example of this. (The map can be un-playable at times)

2(I) Element of Surprise has been ruined due to Promethean Vision.
(II) Plasma Pistol and Precision Weapon? That is screaming noob-combo.
(III) Crouching was more effective in Reach, as bloom was affected less when crouching. There still is a slight advantage to shooting while crouched.

  1. Unfortunately, flanking on Big Team is only possible when playing against noobs. If the enemy team has taken your advice and held the higher ground, flanking would be near on impossible. Flanking on Infinity Slayer and Slayer Pro is pointless as you normally face close-mid range encounters.

  2. You are telling people to look for battles already taking place (I.E Kill-Stealing) rather than taking on another enemy and flattening their defences?

No offence, but this sounds like a guide to be a kill-blam! rather than a team-player.

No offense taken buddy but these are things that have worked for me , apparently it has worked and classify it however you want , any team would benefit from these pointers.

All you need is common sense. No one seems to have common sense online. Randoms are always useless and your tips will not do anything to change that.

“randoms are always useless” is a very general blanket statement. Amongst randoms you can find hidden talent for sure it’s just some people need to follow these fundamentals first in order to increase their halo 4 battle IQ.
