First off, I would decide on one thing that is very important. But before you read on, I just want you to forget everything you read and everything anyone told you. Honestly answer the question:
Do you find yourself steadier on low or high sensitivity. This is the most important analysis anyone can do.
To test out, I usually pick up a controller that is turned off, and hold extended at chest level. Place your thumb on the analog stick, and move it in a circular way, first little circles and the big circles. Try it with your eyes open, and then your eyes closed. If you can handle it very smoothly and you don't feel any shakiness, then you should step up to high sensitivity. However, if you find your thumb to be off and shaky, then that is only natural to the internals of your thumb and you should play on low sensitivity.
If You Can Handle High Sensitivity:
If you can handle high sensitivity normally, then you will be a more aggressive player by nature. This is simply because you are able to adjust your line of sight very quickly and [hopefully] accurately in a faster time than most other players. However, if you cannot do this accurately, then you need to fine-tune your aim and sensitivity. Go into a custom match, and set your sensitivity to a setting that feels right, and move your stick in a circular fashion like you did during the test. Is your reticule and camera moving evenly on screen? If it is, then leave your sensitivity alone. If not, put it up or down one and try again until if feels comfortable.
Now, go to a map like Construct or The Pit in Forge and create a map, and place as many explosive objects as you can in a random but pathed fashion (think obstacle course). Once done, enter this map in a Custom Game, and start shooting at them. While doing this, keep in mind only two things:
speed and
accuracy. It should take you only 1 or 2 shots to destroy the object and around 1-3 seconds between each object. Make sure that you are practicing movement while you are doing this to simulate a real environment.
Once you feel extremely comfortable with this, head on to either a MLG or BR-Start Custom Game of Matchmaking Playlist. Practice like you did before, but this time to emphasize your movement and try to stay alive as long as you can in intense battles. Make sure you are killing enemies accurately (4-6 shots) and quickly. You also need to become used to them jumping and strafing. If you can handle the stick nicely and
fluidly, you should be able to consistently keep up with a jump or a strafe while out-BRing the opponents.
As you practice this, try to incorporate a violent/aggressive "twitch" to your third or fourth shot. This seems to recalibrate your aiming (for multi-kills) and generalize the spread to ensure a four-shot kill. This is a more advanced tactic, but it is excellent to use on high sensitivity.
If You Can Handle Low Sensitivity:
Players on low sensitivity will not need to practice precision as much as the high sensitivity players. This is because you will be able to press the analog stick at relatively any strength and force while still be able to maintain general precision. Higher precision on low sensitivity will come with experience.
What the low sensitivity player must work on is almost exclusively
complex movement. In order to out-BR an aggressive (high sensitivity) player, who has an advantage of being able to use twitching and quicker precision, you will need to develop a way to throw off the opponent's precision to ensure you have the 0.13 seconds to make up your damage loss.
There is four key functions that a low sensitivity player must practice to effectively build consistency against other players, including aggressive players:
- <LI itxtvisited="1">Strafing <LI itxtvisited="1">Jumping <LI itxtvisited="1">Trigger/Aim Coordination
- Environment Use
Strafing, by standard competitive definition, is any act of patterned movement to avoid being damaged by enemy force. A "simple strafe", which is one of the most effective, is simply moving left to right in a timed pattern to avoid being shot while engaged in a BR Battle. Though many other strafing techniques evolved, the core is the simple strafe, and everyone should build off of that.
Jumping, by standard competitive definition, is the dimensional inversion of a strafe that makes the player elevate his head level to avoid the damage being done to him. Think of it as a strafe, but flipping it so it is an up-to-down motion. Simple jumping, however, will not give you too much of an edge. Jumping is effective when it is combined with strafing to set-up an extremely potential way to avoid enemy bullets. For example, a medium-distance quick strafe to the left, followed by a quick-cut jump to the right, and then repeated but at longer distance, is a technique that is very hard to counter. This will throw off even the most precise of aims when done
fluidly.
To both Strafing and Jumping, a presence of
randomness while still maintaining
patterns is very important. By this, I mean that you have to stretch your distance covered while strafing, but make sure you still do a pattern so you can effectively and comfortably out-BR the opponent.
The next important tactic to practice is the toughest to learn and get used to. While you are strafing, you need to be able to effectively shoot while moving in all sorts of directions. This can be difficult, especially when you are doing advanced strafing. Why? Because you are constantly changing your line of sight, so you must have your aim maintain speed and accuracy with your trigger.
Think of it this way: the opponent's head is black dot, and the rest of you screen except your aiming reticule is white. As you jump to the right, you must maintain your aim on his head by doing the exact opposite of going up-right -you must push your analog down-left to keep the aim on his head. This is hard and you need experience to have the timing of a jump and a strafe down perfectly. Once a low sensitivity player masters this to a near-perfect degree, a strafe can be extremely deadly.
The fourth element is important to both low sensitivity and high sensitivity players, but is extremely useful to low sensitivity because they cannot shoot as aggressively as high sensitivity players. The fourth function to using your environment. The most typical example is "
grenade shots", or simply
nading. This is a technique as simple as throwing a grenade of the wall before encountering a BR Battle to weaken your opponent to give you a 2-3 shot edge in the battle. This can only be practiced by experience. As you play Halo more, you will be able to better estimate the exact spot on the wall that you must throw a grenade at to be able to have the grenade land in the right zone.
Not only grenades can be used in this tactic. Using any explosive items, such as fusion coils, is very effective. When you are in a BR Battle that is against a tough player, use your peripheral vision to scan your surroundings for explosive items. Shoot at the item, and if your enemy is near it, he will be weakened by the splash damage, resulting in a 2-3 shot lead -sometimes even an instant kill.
The only way to practice these techniques is by real situations in matchmaking and custom matches, and using an invincible guest. However, the tactics covered will prove to be very useful for the low sensitivity player, especially when pitted against an aggressive BR. Strafing, Jumping, Accuracy, and Nading are all very powerful tools in competitive Halo.
AIM HERE
Also, when you aim at your opponent, aim at the bottom of the black neck guard (only on the chief) because as you shoot the BR it has recoil and moves up slightly, so as you shoot below the neck your BR will move up and usually four shot your opponent, this will always be satisfying.
good luck and i hope this post helped you.

good luck and have fun.
