But you have to get head shots. The only way to get head shots with any of the Halo 2 weapons is to have your sensitivity right. I also like to use dual pistols too. You can get a ton of easy kills with dual pistols if you've got good aim. BR55 Rifle-Everyone hates this gun in single-player, but in multiplayer it is the most devastating Halo 2 weapon. This is probably one of the tougher guns to use so practice with it. A well-thrown grenade and a couple battle rifle shots is the best combo in the game.
The battle rifle is also a part of the most hated combo in Halo, the noob combo. The noob combo is using a charged plasma pistol shot followed by the battle rifle, usually only one battle rifle shot is needed. There is, however, a way to block this God-forsaken combo.
First, dual wield any two weapons. Wait for the charged plasma pistol shot to come towards you and then drop the second weapon. If you time it right, the dropped weapon will hit the charged plasma pistol shot. Timing here is critical so you might wanna practice this one with your friends first.
SMG- Not bad on some maps, but just awful on others. Try using this weapon on smaller maps. Like the battle rifle, throw a grenade first then fire. That's usually the best tactic.
The SMG is also the core of almost all dual wields. Use the SMG with the plasma pistol or plasma rifle. Those dual wields are usually pretty effective. Try not to dual wield 2 SMGs. Use it only as a last resort.
Sniper Rifle- The hardest gun in the game to use but it's also my favorite Halo 2 weapon. I have created a couple tips that will help.
-Always move around. Never camp out in one spot, no matter how good you think it is.
-Check your motion sensor. You'll spend a lot of time trying to find people so it's good to zoom out every once in awhile to see if anyone's coming. Try doing this after every couple of shots or so.
-Unless you're incredibly skilled with the sniper, please do not try to use the sniper in every situation(i. e. in close and the enemy has a shotgun).
-Take good shots only. This kind of goes with the point above. Do not jump of a building and try to no-scope someone across the map. Take shots that you know have a good chance of hitting their target.
Rocket Launcher- Simply jump and fire at the ground right before your enemy. Easy kill. No matter how easy it is though, I always see morons trying to shoot people in the air, wasting ammo. Every single shot should result in a kill. O yea, make sure to hold R when firing at a vehicle.
Shotgun- This is the only weapon, besides the Rocket Launcher(and a lucky no-scope from the sniper), that can beat the sword head on. It takes great timing though. Try firing when the sword guy is in mid-lunge.
That's not the shotgun's only use. Always use it in tight areas, like the alleyways in Turf. If you get close to an enemy, a one shot kill is likely.
Those are the Human Halo 2 weapons. Now check out the Covenant Weapons.
