Teabag Prevention #18 – High Ground

High Ground is not a favorite among the population of Halo 3 Multiplayer players – especially in Lone Wolves. This is also one of the larger maps existing in Lone Wolves and this means more power weaons and power-ups. So like it or not, here is how to make High Ground your Kill Ground. Wow…we can do better than that…

THIS WEEK: HIGH GROUND

TIP #1 – POWER WEAPONS

The Power Weapons on this map are easy to identify.

The Sniper Rifle

Spartan Laser

Rocket Launcher

Which one is the strongest you might ask? Well that depends on you and your playing style. Those who use the Rocket Launcher may find it easy to adapt to the Spartan Laser, the only difference in shooting there would be the be timing the shot and not going for as much splash damage as you usually would. These are the places to get your power weapons and start out your rampage.

TIP #2 – WORSE SPAWNING THAN MACFARLANE

Camping is best on a map like this. I say “a map like this” because of the terrible spawn system going on here. For example: If you’re sniping by the beach, but are not close enough to its waves, chances are that enemies are going to spawn behind you.

Good camping spots include the the missile silos at spawn opposite the beach. Even though the spot may not provide a good outlook, you’ll know that no one will spawn behind you. Pitch a tent there, because a lot of killing is about to go on (best if you pick up a sniper rifle).

Another good spot would be the pipe entrance at the gate. The spot provides a great view of the map. The downfall? NOT BEING ABLE TO MOVE FAST ENOUGH.

TIP #3 – KEEP YOUR SHOTTY SHORTY

The Shotgun is located outside under a tree. Right about there. You see it? It’s right there.

Outside, the Shotgun is useless. Inside, it’s as deadly as ever. In places such as the bunker or on top of the gate, there’s not that much room to move around making the Shotgun a valuable tool. Behind the gate and inside are the places to really use this weapon. Do NOT use it outside on the beach side of the gate or you’re going to get sniped, BR’d or Lasered.

TIP #4 – GO NINJA GO

Active Camo

Like always, Active Camo should be used Ninja style. This means actually going indoors and getting your kills (perhaps with a shotgun?! *Doctor Evil pinky*).

Overshield

Overshield should be used in the open battlefield. Just about any weapon can accompany you on you quest.

Bubble Shield

The Bubble Shield’s spawn and an example of its usage is pictured above.

Power Drainer

The Power Drainer can be deployed at any time. There’s really no bad way to use it other than if you’re hurting yourself. Which would make you ‘tarded.
