a really good way to hide weapons

Unrated
Verified by: unverified
Bogus Report:

Ok so when ever you at a map on forge where your able to use containers and open containers there is a really good way to hide weapons from the opposing team. Ok so first get 2 to 3 open containers and place them together so it makes like a hallway and be sure to put it out in somewhere obvious so people won't think your trying to hide something. Then put a sender transporter in the containers on one side (make sure it's inside the container) and then on the other side of the hallway of containers place a reciever transporter (again it has to be inside the containers. Then change the channel of the sender to channel 1. Then fill up open container hallway with a bunch of weapons (try using all the good ones).then put a regular container on each side of the open container hallway so that it's all closed up and it looks like just a bunch of containers bunched up together. Then put up another sender transporter somewhere completely hidden. Then place another sender transporter somewhere really obvious and change it to channel 2 (just in case they get a little supicious). Then get another reciever transporter and place it somewhere really obvious and change it to channel 2. So you can throw them off and then place one last reciever transporter anywhere you want and change it to channel 1 so that you can get out of the container place. That way you have a huge load of awesome weapons and the opposing team has no idea where your getting them

To swing faster with the energy sword, instead of tapping the right trigger, try tapping the B button. I find it much quicker to take someone out.

headshot honcho achievement help

Unrated
Verified by: unverified
Bogus Report:

This achievement can also be combined with meta games for extra points. Turn on the grunt birthday party skull, and shoot grunts in the head. The weapons I prefer with this is scopable, (i,e, sniper, carbine, BR, beam rifle, etc.) the skull acts like a marker, it will tell you when you shot one in the head because it lights up with confetti. It has to be shot AND killed in one shot, with the exception of the BR, since it shots 3 bursts. If one doesn't light up, you will be able to tell and start over again.

Hope this helps!

Killing Frenzy Achievement help

Unrated
Verified by: unverified
Bogus Report:

There are several ways to get the killing frenzy achievement and heres a few ways...
WARNING: this achievement can only be gained on lone wolves on xbox LIVE.
1. Any objective game, such as crazy king or oddball, just find yourself a nice hiding place and snipe or shotgun or whatever you like to do to people who walk by to the oddball or hill. This is a good way, but eventually, people get mad and kill you, so don't kill the same person over and over, or he will come after YOU specifically.

2. The Pit. This is where I got my achievement. All you do is get sniper shotgun, sniper rockets, or sniper sword, sitin the sword room area, and snipe to get peoples attention, and shoot them when they enter.

Hope one of these two ways help, and enjoy the slaughter!

In a level such as the Floodgate, Cortana, or Halo, leave the flood bodies intact (in one piece) and let the little flood orby things get in them so you can kill them again and get extra points. I did this in my campaign, and now I finally got all of the achievements complete

The Ark Gold Skull

Bogus Report:

This is a very difficult skull to get. Many will say to use the grenade jump, but there is a much easier way. First, get a deployable shield. Set in up on the slope, and jump on it. Then jump towards the flat part were the skull is. Be careful not to over shoot it.

Part 2 Of Hints And Cheats For Halo 3

Unrated
Verified by: unverified
Bogus Report:

(please give comments on these hints, but also please don't respond on how you already know this stuff)

OK, say your facing a brute chieftan, and you are on heroic or legendary, now normally, just run like hell and stay away until you can get your hands on some good weapons to kick the shit out of him, but now I will show you a much more effective way to deal with these Beasties, heres how: get a carbine or a sniper or a battle rifle, and snipe the hell out of all those pricks gaurding the chieftan, then once you have succsesfully taken all/most of the people out but the chieftan, RUN AT HIM! What? Its a good IDEA!

Run at him and wait for him to charge, then jump over him and turn around. Now if your fast enough, his back SHOULD be facing you, it dosent stay this way for long though so there are four ways to finish him from here; Stick his weapon, it's not all that hard, just takes practice, aim where he WILL be when he tries to doge the spiker/ sticky (stickys are better for this job); the other way is to punch him in the back as quick as you turn around from evading his attack and hope like crud that it will be an immediate kill, NOTE this is not a very succsesive way of taking him out, see last two for a better way; this one is a good but dangerous strategy, run at his back and punch, he will turn with his fist/hammer to hit you, wichever side he turns, turn the opposite and keep punching, this will take a few tries, and it will also need some practice but once you get the hang of it, having no sword/gravity hammer/brute shot/fuel cannon, ammo is not so bad after all; the last way, is to go up to him and throw a grenade at his feet then jump over him, and when he turns around to take the grenade full force! PUNCH HIM WITH NO MERCY UNTIL HE IS DEAD!

Because of lack of time, I cannot produce more hints or walkthroughs, but I assure you I will be back, and please look at cheats and walkthroughs and stuff for more of my work! Hope you found it helpful!

Not Dieing and beating legendary in a glance

Unrated
Verified by: unverified
Bogus Report:

Hint No. 1:Marines are EVERYTHING! On legendary or heroic, use your men to the best of your abilities, they die alot yeah, but they increase your chance of escape by 25% wheres you start with 50%. Equip them with good weapons, example: Battle Rifle, Shotgun, Assult Rifle, and Pistol may not SEEM like a good idea, but learning it the hard way, I have figured out that they are a dead-eye head shot. Keep with that, and you should be able to win on a basis of dieing not as much as usual.

Hint No. 2: Help your marines! If you see one up close with a power-armored-down brute, then HELP them, because there punches suck and they have very little sense to shoot their weapon up close.

Hint No. 3: Keep a reserve weapon at hand, like a battle rifle or carbine, and then keep another weapon of your choosing, for whatever you need it for. Why I say this? Becasue you never know when your sniping will be handy, and that is the basic traited weapon that brutes/marines carry, so supply will be plentiful.

Hint No. 4: On the level Cortana, ALWAYS HAVE A BRUTE SHOT! On every diffaculty but legendary, it's punch is 1 hit kill, so treasure it even without ammunition.
As Well, the gravity hammer is the worst weapon for that level becasue it has almost no effect on the pure forms of flood, so take all swords and use your one when you see another available, they work much better and it is good strategy.

P.S.: Newbies, you don't get achievments on easy so do normal for finding skulls and getting things before going to the higher difficulties!

Multiplayer Hint

Bogus Report:

When in multiplayer duel wield the plasma pistol and any sub machine gun (SMG, plasma rifle, spiker, ect.) Charge up the plasma pistol, fire it at an enemy (this will bring down his/her shield) then finish them off with your sub machine gun of choice. Note that you should take careful aim with the plasma pistol before you let off the charge.
