The BEST way to get better at using the sniper is to practice alone on standoff. Standoff has birds that fly around near the two satilites and they are able to be killed. They zig zag and coast and do a bunch of crazy stuff but if you can get them down, you have become more steady with your aim - which will help tremendously when using the sniper and BR.

What are the tricks to being really good in Halo 3 Multiplayer?

-FFA- The Trick to FFA is awareness. A good halo player will most always know where his opponents are. You can use your sense of hearing to determine where the fight is going on elsewhere. Also, you know that if a player dies on one side of the map, he wont spawn in the same spot that he just died. Another tip is to grenade A LOT! Using grenades is one of your most useful and power weapons in your arsenal...more on grenades in question 4. Another tip goes along with awareness. If you see two people battling it out, judge which one has the least amount of shields. Shoot at that one, and finish the kill, then move on to the other one. He shoud still be weak after the fight he just had, his ammo needs reloading, and should be an easy 2 kills.

-Team Slayer/MLG- The Trick to team games is awareness and team work. If you have three team mates who clean up kills, help their team mates out when they are in a battle, and have a well thought out plan of attack, then you can't lose (unless someone has a better attack plan). I cannot stress this enough, GREAT TEAM WORK is all you need to be a great team. Another tip in team games is keep a positive attitude. Don't cloud the team chat with aw man i got raped, or WHAT ABOUT THAT LAG?! Just keep it simple and call people out (the key to callouts is call them out when you see them-most of the time it will be while your shooting them) This will help draw your team together and, if they are good teammates, should help you finish the kill. And again, dont get mad when people steal your kills. They are doing you a favor by helping you out.

What controller sensitively should I get used to? 10?

The controller sensitivity is purely based upon the player's preference. Find something that you are comfortable with, and stick with it. Keep in mind that 10 sensitivity will be a little hard to no scope and BR. 3 is perfect for me, because its nice and slow. But whatever feels right for you. Another thing about the controller is the button setup. Most of us are used to regular setup. Bumper Jumper, or boxer setups tend to be more productive, if you can get used to it. I tried to get used to them but it was just too hard. Also, TAKE VIBRATION OFF. A friend of mine told me to take vibration off in halo 2. My battle rifle and sniper skills improved TREMENDOUSLY. I didn't jerk a little when i got shot. Again, this will take some time to get used to, but will improve your overall skills as a halo player.

What weapons do more damage at the head versus the body?

The sniper will kill in one shot to the head. A Battle rifle (should) kill people in either four shots to the head or three shots to the body and one to the head. The latter is the best way to kill people. I usually aim for the neck always, so it hits either one.

What is the secret to being a good grenadier?

A good grenadier is someone who has mastered the skills of throwing grenades. Spend some time in custom games with stickys and human grenades. Try to kill your opponents only with grenades. This is probably more effective than me trying to tell you on this thread. Look for ways to strategically place grenades where your opponents are/are going to be. Most people throw grenades off of the wall, as they should. But since its a regular thing, we expect it. Try throwing grenades off of the ceilings. This can be really helpful when someone is behind a barrier that cant be reached with a grenade off the side of the wall. Also, when someone is chasing you from behind, throw a grenade at your feet and jump over it. There's not much defense to this other than to back off. If you know someone is coming from place x, and you or your teammates are hurt, throw grenades there to hold them off for a few more seconds until all shields are recharged.

How do you use the battle rifle successfully?

Again, three shots to the body, one to the head. Or four shots to the head. Aim for the neck, as its big enough to hit, but most of the time hits both the body and head.

What weapons work well dual wielded?

Dual wielding isn't used much in halo 3. It is mostly AR/BR/SNIPE/ROCKET. But dual SMG's work great for close range. Also, the plasma rifle/pistol combo works really well. The "noob combo" (plasma pistol as primary, BR as secondary) works tremendously. Take out their shields with the plasma pistol charge, then finish them off with one shot to the head with the BR.

How do you use vehicles effectively?

I'm not much of a vehicle driver, so I can't offer the best advice on this. But, as some of you have said already, never stop. Try to stay behind cover 50 if not 75 percent of the time. What helps me is to start up a game on a map big enough to drive on, and just drive. Learn the terrain of the map, what angle of approach you need to have to make certain turns. Learn the braking system. If its a warthog or mongoose, learn the E-break. If its a ghost, chooper, or banshee learn how to boost.

What is the best way to melee from front?

There really isn't a specific way to melee from the front. Jumping a meleeing is more powerful than just a regular melee. One melee and a shot to the head with a BR will kill people. Mix and match with your melees and firing. If they are close enough to shoot you but not close enough to melee, the obviously shoot them. But if they are going up to you trying to get the beat down, try jumping and meleeing then shooting. Also, try timing the crouch as a defense for the melee. Most of the time, your opponents will be aiming chest high or head high with their melee. If your crouch, then they will miss.

How exactly does EXP increase?

For each win, your experience increases.

How do you gain EXP the fastest?

Simple, win :). If your are confident in yourself and in your team, try ranked matches. If you just want to gain experience then go for social matches. The social playlists are usually less serious and you can pull a win easier than you would in ranked. The better the get, the easier you will gain experience. Keep in mind that the higher in rank you are, the tougher the opponents are going to be. Try spreading out your games in different playlists.

On Team Slayer (and other team games), it is based only on team wins?

Yes, if you are on the winning team, but do horrible, you still get experience. Team games are basically judging how well you play as a team. If you work well with your team mates (refer to 1st answer), then you will most likely win.

On Solo Slayer, is it based on getting in top X place?

In FFA gametypes, top 3 people get experience.

Does Ranked VS Matchmaking make any difference in gaining EXP?

No, not experience. You gain experience in both playlists with wins.

**Thanks for reading and I hope this has helped some of you. I know it has helped me to reflect on some of these issues and sharpen my skills as a halo player.

How to be good at Halo 3 Multiplayer?

Uhh...
Play it?

Duh.
There are no secrets that will allow somebody to play better. Its just experience, knowing what the games going to do and actually playing it. You'll eventually get better and learn to control the guns and grenades better.
Thats all there is to it.

The tips on here are already really good so I won't rehash... But I do want to add my favorite shotgun routine:

Fire the shotgun slightly beyond the one-shot range and instantly follow it with a melee. I've gotten more killing sprees with that trick on a close-quarters level than anything else.
