Okay, so I'm dating a really great guy. We both like video games a lot, and normally we have similar tastes, but when we go visit some mutual friends of ours, it inevitably leads to everyone else playing Halo for hours straight. And...well...this can be quite a bit problematic for me.
You see, I don't think Halo's a bad game, it's just that I've never played shooters before, and I really, REALLY hate losing to the point where I do things I regret doing later. I seriously almost broke this one kid's controller and severely disfigured another's teddy bear because I lost at Halo. Yes, I know I have problems, but I really want to beat those guys at it, just ONCE, and I don't have an Xbox, so I can't practice at all. They also won't give me any handicaps just because I suck (which, in retrospect, is a perfectly good reason to give someone a handicap). Can anybody help me at all? I want to be good at this game so badly and I have no way to get better!

I suck at first person shooters too @_@ and my boyfriend LOVES them it's practically all he plays.
Mainly you just need practice. Does your bf or any other friends have an xbox or 360 you could practise on?

Well, I love to play Halo, and I'm not exactly a person to go shootin. I'll hop into a ghost rider and beat the s**t out of people with it. But maybe you can go to on of you're bud's place that have Halo and an x-box, and you two can practice there.

you know i have the same problem my friend and his friends love to play halo 2 or gears of war and i'm an rpg person so me vs fps= pwned and when i loose i do get really pissed but i replaced my break controller habit on swearing and saying "DAMN YOU!!" in a joking way what i actually did was go over to my friends house and pratice with him on co op, i did get better eventually but i still suck, so if your boyfriend has an xbox practice with him on co op or splitscreen or something

always go for headshots
grenades are helpful
if there is a sword on the map you're playing on, go for it
use you anger in the game and not on someone's controller

Halos too slow for me in competition mode. I prefere halo when its legendary co-op. I go for more of the Unreal fps's and I get really frustrated with Halo too. Try to just let go of the competition and be zen like, cause you might be scaring this guy away. That or just practice a million hours a day to get better. 3nodding

And if you want to be able to practise on your own and have a decent PC you could get a copy of the PC version and buy yourself a wired Xbox 360 controller and configure it. Not perfect but it works.

If you're playing JUST to beat them, maybe you should just let the whole thing go and find something better to do.
But if you want to get better at it because you enjoy playing...thats a whole 'nother issue.
Winning isnt everything, as cliche as that may sound. Its true though. Instead of freaking out when you get shot, tell the person who killed you it was a nice shot. Learn from the people around you, ask them for tips.
If you're more laid back about it, people will be less afraid to ask you to play with them, and you'll be able to practice without letting a game ruin your relationships.

i use to have a halo 1 problem.
i use to be addicted to hooking up 4 x-boxes and playing with 16 ppl.
infact i attacked some 1 for takeing up half my day when i could have been playing halo.
then the day came when halo 2 came out. and i hated it.
they change it so much and only seem to care about the graphics.
sure the ppl i use to kick there asses in halo 1 liked it.
there was no falling damage and u could jump higher. and they liked the battle pistal.
to this day i am like screw it give me halo 1 and run like a b***h.

Wow, finally someone who shares my opinion of Halo 2 multiplayer. I can hardly play it, sometimes my friends manage to convince me because they all think it's great but I just don't like having to empty two clips on a bouncing ball with a rocket launcher only to get blown to bits. The only thing that's still kind of true to the original is the shotgun, and when I get my grubby little paws on that everyone else had better run like mad Hell. And even then I'm still not really enjoying the game.

And even then I'm still not really enjoying the game. well even the shotguns is diffrent. and i think we are on 2 diffrent pages, or atleast i am not understanding what you are trying to say or coming from. what i was saying is they ******** up on halo 2 only noob like to play it. ( and if you like it and think your pro think twice before u think you have skill. hole 1 was the s**t becuase you had falling damage and if yo where pro u didnt have to worry about it u could have stoped that damage if you knew what you to do. start the game toss a nade and blow all the weapons you want your way. and i could go on but you guys can just get up and look in gamer chicks i have a list of every pro tactic you can use somewhere ingamer chicks.

Actually...its funny i have the similiar situation. I have a boyfriend who LOVES halo and well most of my friends who are guys love it too. Im the only girl who plays halo with them and its hard because i dont get to play it as often but I usually do what the othe girl mentioned. I usually hop into a ghost or a banshee and run them other boys over XD because it makes me happy to show them girls kick a** too. Its easier...just make sure you avoid any rocket lanchers.... smile

Frankly, I don't understand why we don't play on teams. Getting killed all the time probably wouldn't be so bad if I knew my boyfriend was trying to back me up instead of blow me up. sweatdrop
