This weeks silly challenge by me (this one is usefull as well)

Dance Class!

In game, as in life, I seem to be haveing troubles recently with the danceing. the halo one i mean is the "gus a blazin" dance between two players which is the basis of all smg engagments. (get within 5 feet hold down the trigger, try dodgeing his fire while keeping yours on target) This tends to be either a circleing walts or a side to side disco. either way i seem to be loseing these dances more and more often, not sure what im doing wrong and would like to practice this essential skill and im sure im not the only one that could benifit from the practice.

so, shall we dance?

I think I'm a level 6 at the moment in team skirmish. That match probably would have put me to a 7, but given the circumstances...

Yeah thankfully people such as this are rare. But they're the hazard of semi-anonymous online play I guess.

I have played around with look sensitivity, I was playing with a rather high one, like 9 but found i couldnt keep it under control durring the sniping trainings we did so i lowered it, so i may have to up it again. Also I am a fully experienced gamer and understand the dance moves so I guess what I was getting at is maybe it would be usefull to identify specific things to do to win these dances. so a few concepts to think about.

Range - It is apparent that some weapons have a varying degree of effectiveness depending on distance. for example the shotgun. at (example distance) 10feet it takes 3 or 4 shots for a kill, at 5 feet 2 shots, and point blank 1. so when is the best time to fire? is it better to hold off on your first shot untill you are in point blank ranger and take the first hit at 5 feet but also risk them getting the close in 1 shot kill?

best attack plan - engage and circle, engage and move side to side (although i tend to run strait at them, lowering his sheilds then mele attack him before he can kill me)? is jumping usefull or better to keep your feet on the ground?

weapon combos and uses - Im not sure if this really works, but when dual weilding plasma rifle and smg, it seems like if you hit your opponent with the plasma a few times first, without firing the smg, that it lowers thier sheilds faster than with both. so something like 5 shots with the plasma rifle then start in with both plasma and SMG seemed to end the engagemnt alot fast than with both blazzing at once. this could also be an effect of not dealing with recoil with the plasma alone and accualy hitting them....

In anycase i guess im looking to learn the very specific things that people do to not get killed.
