I find the multiplayer of GOW to SUCK. JMHO.

I have to admit, Quake 3 Arena really started the multiplayer FPS for me... the point being, the Halo series easily rests in the same area as those games.

I hope you're playing on co-op. The last few levels are IMPOSSIBLE alone. I played through with just one other person & it took us over 6 hours to beat 4 levels. I'm usually on most of the time, just let me know if you need some help.

Old003, I should add you. I suck... I learned that tonight. Played about 15 games and only won 6. That was team slayer, ranked. I had only 1 kill in one match on Construct, they just kept camping out by the freaking elevators and everytime I'd try to kill one, they'd get the best of me.

You gotta remember Halo isn't a "run & gun" type game. Wait for the right time to strike, NEVER rush in, that's just easier kills for the other team. Stay with your teammates at all times, don't split up. Make the other team come to you. If they're camping the lifts (Me & my team do it:p) just throw grenades up it. That should make them scatter.
Another thing I would recommend is not going into Team Slayer alone, party up. Send me a FR & I'll help you out.

More tips...

Crouch walking. If an enemy is near you crouch walk, you don't show up on the motion sensor then making is easy to sneak right up behind them.

Practice in FFA games & social playlists. Pick up a Battle Rifle at every opportunity. If you can't get good with a BR you will end up getting very little kills every game.

Combos! Shotgun Mauler/Melee for starters. It's a simple Shoot/punch as fast as you can at close/point blank range. You should always have ranged & close range weapons with you at all times. The Assault Rifle should be a last resort.

That's a little bit for now. If you need tips for anything else just ask.

Me and a couple of friends are playing through it. Is the last drive scene harder in legendary? Does the floor fall faster?

I didn't think it was that bad. You may die a few times but once you know which way to go it's pretty easy if you're a good driver.

What is everyone weapon of choice, so far?

On smaller, confined maps- nothing beats a trusty gravity hammer for me.

I also like the Brute Shot and Duel Spikers.

I thought I hated the ghammer but it's growing on me. I still prefer the sword, though. Sometimes I can rack up 10 kills in a row with it... and other times I can't do squat. The shotty is next on my list, and then the ass end of the shotty.

Someone explain the multiplayer modes to me (meta, matchmaking, slayer). I've only played co-op so far.

Meta IS co-op. Except it gives you points for killing enemies as you go through the campaign. Turn on skulls to increase score multiplier... there are achievements for 15,000 or higher on all but two missions (50,000).

Slayer is a form of matchmaking. There are Ranked and Social boards in matchmaking. Your EXP rank is based on game wins. Your game type rank (aka skill rank) is based on how you play against opponents of similar or higher rank.

If you want to see most of the achievements our boy Old003 (Chad003) has almost all of them... if he plays some more meta in the next week or so, he should have them all. :eek:hmy: Six of the eight he's missing are from the metagame score. (There are 9 of those, he has 3)... the other ones he needs to destroy an enemy vehicle with a trip mine, and kill two guys with one laser blast in ranked.

I'll tell you what sucks, after you get as far as you can on Gunnery Sergeant, you have to get 150 EXP's before the next rank and you're sitting at 65 or 70.

Let's a get a VN team going this evening and do some social slayer.

Dude, we have to figure that out. Why don't you google it and use your geek speak powers. I found some stuff on it, but it looked like Hebrew to me.
