Halo 2 On Xlink - I Get Killed Sooo Easy Options

[swebb99]

Hi,

I discovered the wonders of multiplayer gaming using xlink and halo 2 recently but I just can't seem to get any higher than half way up the ranks in the score tables. I never look like winning, some of the players are soooo good.

What I really don't understand is that even if say the rules are normal shotguns and machine guns I can shoot another player in the head loads of times and then they hit me with one shot and I'm out dead Then in snipper mod some players just seem so accurate and so quick I find I have to line a shot up, they just seem to turn and bang im dead, even from a long distance. Is there some special Halo controller ? I must be missing out on some key presses also because I just can't seem to get the jumps right because I only seem to get about half height of some players ????

One last thing, the sword how the hell do I use it properly. I wait for the symbol to go red and slash the sword, sometimes I kill them but mostly they seem to get me first. And a lot of players seem to be able to jump over me and kill me with the sword in mid air I haven't a clue how you do that I've tried and never been able to do it


Any advice ?

Thanks

Steve

Could be mods, could be skill. I would hazard a guess you haven't been playing all that long; you get better over time. Until then you'll get raped up the ass.

Nice thing about XBL is that it TRIES to put you with similary-skilled players in a match to give the newbies something resembling a chance. You have no system like this on XBC or Xlink.

Keep playing. You'll get better.
