Top 3 tips for Halo 4

The Halo series has become a classic on Microsoft's Xbox, especially online. In the current Halo 4 there are also tips and tricks that can make your game a lot more successful. We present a small selection here.

Use Halo vehicles correctly in multiplayer mode

• The Spartans' Scorpion tank can be a scary and hard-to-defeat weapon: the most important thing is to talk to comrades who protect your clumsy tank against hand-to-hand combat and position themselves on the built-in light gun or on foot around it. Then you can cover a large area with the large cannon and take out every enemy even at long range with a single shot.
• The Warthog jeep with the mounted Gauss gun is even more effective. This weapon kills with a shot even at great distances and reloads quickly. Find a talented driver for the Warthog and let yourself be "coached" on the map. With a bit of practice, unbelievable series of launches are possible here, as they are difficult to stop thanks to the agility and robustness of the Warthog.

Choosing the right skills and weapons - the key to success in Halo 4

The big novelty of Halo 4 are the freely editable classes, weapons and additional functions. With these you can fully adapt your Spartan to your abilities.

• If you prefer to use sniper rifles, you should play a jetpack or invisibility. So you can operate unnoticed from the background. In order to be able to act independently longer at the same time, you should select "Ammunition" as a support upgrade. For example, every Spartan sniper you have has 16 cartridges instead of 12 in the magazine.
• A protective shield is definitely worthwhile for melee and assault soldiers. At the same time, you can increase the number of grenades you carry with you with the "Grenadier" tactical package.
• If you prefer to play with special weapons, the "replenishment priority" can help as a support upgrade: You can collect points faster to get powerful weapons like the Bazooka or the new combustion cannon.

Train precision - the "Halo Life Insurance"

In Halo, precise shooting is generally more important than quick responsiveness - unlike many other shooters. If you train the hit in the opponent's head with the precision weapons, then you also have a chance in duels with standard weapons:

• The game's standard precision weapons - DMR and combat rifle - have important differences: the single shots from the DMR forgive fewer misses than the 3-shot volleys from the combat rifle. At the same time, the triple optical zoom of the DMR is better for longer distances compared to the double magnification of the combat rifle.
• Don't underestimate assault rifle and magnum pistol. The firepower of the assault rifle compared to Halo Reach is a real plus, especially over short distances. The fast individual shots of the Magnum are often devastating, especially when the shots hit the opponent's head precisely. The following applies here: practice, practice, practice!
