Like all weapons in Halo, the Assault
Rifle has its place in your arsenal. Here are a few tips to remember while using
the Assault rifle.
Never, ever use it in the Campaign
on Legendary against the Covenant. At the start of the level, get rid of it
as soon as possible.
Use it in small multiplayer maps.
Rat Race, Wizard, Prisoner, Longest, etc. The only exception to this in my
book is Chiron. This map is too broken up to outshine a more powerful
weapon.
Its called Assault Rifle for a
reason. You wanna snipe- use the scoped weapons. You wanna be a shock
trooper- deck the halls with a hail of bullets.
Keep it loaded at all times. This
isn't about ammo conservation. This is about pumping lead.
Aim for the head. Side by side
with some one shooting your body, you can almost kill them with out taking
health damage.
Remember the Melee attack. By
shooting the head and following with a melee, I can get a kill in around 2
seconds. Try it.
Keep your distance from a shotgun.
A slug in the face from 5 ft. away isn't covered in your insurance plan.
Rockets are bad news too.
Keep moving. Hunt down your
targets and don't make yourself one.
Summary: Be aggressive with
the Assault Rifle. Shoot, spray, beat, and chuck grenades till your enemies
surrender. Reload and repeat. And have some fun.
