How can I train myself for sniping on Halo 2?

SNIPER TRAINING BETA

Play Halo 2 with bots!

INGREDIENTS:

* Halo 2
* Xbox
* At least a 27” tv
* 3-4 xbox controllers (any type)
* Scotch tape

DESCRIPTION:

Bot training can help you train with the sniper rifle when no one else is around to play. Taping down the joysticks of the xbox controllers allows them to run around while you try to snipe them. This will help you hunt them down, get your shots in, and take them out without risk of being killed by another player. Alternately, 1337 players can practice “no scoping”. Playing this for a while will get you some laughs and killing sprees.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Once in the main menu in Halo 2 create a Sniper Training gametype. Here is exactly what you will need to do in order to have a perfect Sniper Training Halo 2 gametype.

MATCH OPTIONS: Rounds - 1 Score to win Unlimited Time limit - none

PLAYER OPTIONS: Respawn time - 3 seconds Suicide penalty - none, you really shouldn’t get yourself killed here Shields - normal Motion Sensor - on

TEAM OPTIONS: No teams necessary.

SLAYER OPTIONS: No bonus points No suicide loss No death loss

VEHICLE OPTIONS: No vehicles whatsoever - that would be cheating!

EQUIPMENT OPTIONS: Starting weapon - Sniper Rifle Secondary weapon - Beam Rifle Starting Grenades - NO Grenades on map - None Weapons on map - Sniping

In the end you should have two to three xbox controllers with tape on the joysticks to keep them moving, sign them in, pick a map, set gametype to Sniper Training, and fire away. Changing the position of tape on joysticks is the biggest modifier. This changes the turning radius and direction of a bot and will take quite a bit of experimenting. In some cases you may end up with a bot that looks straight up while spinning in place - not a good thing.

Sounds like fun! Hope it helps!
