    Well, I started playing MLG a few weeks ago. I've greatly seen my Halo 3 level increase from when I didn't play. I've been practicing my four shots and sniping. I'm close to great at the game, except for my huge problem. Every time I shoot with a Battle Rifle or Sniper Rifle I tend to move up on the thumb stick, then shooting, causing me to miss. I've experimented with almost all sensitivities and nothing. Any tips?

    Also, I hear people say, one shot a lot, is that when their shields are down and you shoot them? I don't see anything spectacular worth mentioning in that. And do any of you have a link to all of the map call outs?

    One shot is when you shoot them in the crotch and all three BR bullets hit them - they die instantaneously.

    Gee golly, never knew that! Thanks for that information Mr. Saracasm.

    Anyway, I tried going to five, and using the BR's zoom feature for once, and it's helped a bit.

    I used to have the same problem, except I swiped my thumbstick to the right. The only way you can get better is by practising with a friend. Get him to jump around you trying to dodge.

    Sensitivity=1

    That is how I play, but when I pick up a sniper rifle, I take the time to change my sensitivity to 10.

    Not for me. I find it much easier to keep a steadier BR on sensitivity 1. I like to be able to quick scope with the sniper, so I like to have that on 10.

    In the MLGpro.com Halo 3 FAQ thread there's a listing of what sensitivity all the pro's play on. I'd say about half play on 3, and the other half are scattered mostly 4 and 5, with I think one six.

    Thread

    Most play Bumper Jumper control layout too, with vibration off, for what its worth.

    I've tried 3, 4, and 5 for a match each. I did best with 5.

    Also, I can't really get good at bumper jumper.

    If you want to get good, you have to either use Bumper Jumper or claw.

    I changed to Bumpers Jumpers, and i must admit: its MUCH better. I dont know why, but i just feel very confortable with it.
    I also use sensivity 3 an no vibration.
