Personal Comment: My gaming career started in 2004 when Tom "T-Squared" Taylor invited me to a MLG tournament after seeing
me win 1st place at a local tournament. At that tournament my first as a pro I placed 4th. Shortly after Halo 2 was released and the BR became the weapon of choice. I devoted countless hours perfecting my BR shooting, strafes and tactics. I am now known to have one of the best BRs in the game and pride myself on helping others dominate with it.
Outside of playing tournaments I enjoy match making on Xbox Live to keep my skills sharp. I currently hold a level 50 in all four of the most popular play lists. I was actually a level 50 within 3 days of the games release!
I have said all this not to boast but just to let you know I can and will make you a better player. My Halo 3 Guide was developed with one thing in mind total domination. No wasting your time with basic tips that everyone knows like stick with your team!
My Comment: A true Halo 3 hero! This guy and his team (Team Classic) are the next big thing in the Halo world. Believe it! It is a great honour to have his presence here at HaloForever.com. All I can tell you is to order his guide and get lessons from him. If becoming a top player is what you want, then I offer you LeGeNdPimPs. Become that player you have always wanted to be. Take advantage of this opportunity while he still has time in his gaming schedule to offer you lessons. Trust me on this one!

Personal Comments: I have been playing Halo since November 12th,
2006. I remember how it all went down. It was birthday in 3 days so
my family gave me an Xbox 360. I mainly got it for Madden but when I
popped in
Halo 2 that's all I played on Xbox. I got hooked right away. In
February that's when I started playing MLG settings. It was all about
the customs and Team Hardcore till the release of Halo 3. I then made
a team called Define Skillz. Our VG tourney record was 28-5. I must
have been given a talent for Halo. I was on the level and beyond
those who have been playing Halo since CE. I did have some run ins
with the pros during Halo 2 especially elimatewarrior, Fearitself,
Nieghbor, Legit, and Hysteria(who was a str8 up BEAST!). Played some
FFAs with them and came in top 4 every time.

Personal Comments: I have been playing Halo since the first week of halo 1. When Halo 2 came out i was already good, but improved a ridiculus amount through playing MLG style customs with people like igoturpistola, HpZ bulletz (who taught me everything), and of course bnager who goes to my school. About a year and a half through halo 2 i was asked to join a team sponsored by redbull, but i declined the offer because my best interests are with my athletic abilities and my social life. When halo 3 came out it took me about 3 days to get a 45 then through the opening week i moved to a 48. I stopped at 48 because i am getting into the MLG groups on halo 3 instead of matchmaking.

Interview with Zach: |
How often to you use non traditional jumps in a game? As in, how often do
you use jumps using grenades or jumps using unusual ledges or areas of a
map?

A: No, not all of the time, but if its a swords game i will turn it up just for quicker turning

A: BR most definitly, its perfect, and shows how good a player really is. Sniper, it also requires alot more skill in halo 3 and when a noscope connects in close combat it feels to good to be true.

A: Sniper, i like the smaller hit boxes this time around, just another thing to make it more difficult

Interview with Gnom3: |
How often to you use non traditional jumps in a game? As in, how often do you use jumps using grenades or jumps using unusual ledges or areas of a map?
A: I try and use them a lot. I feel as like always doing the unexpected when running into people doing something that the usually halo player doesn’t do which throws them off for that split second to let me get and edge over them. When using the grenade jumps, you can get to areas that are not usually accessible which can lead to a good sniper spot. I like to use different jumps to get me to places quicker without going the long way….saves time and gets kills.
What Halo 3 maps do you find your jumping skills help you win the most?
A: I would have to say Guardian, Pit, and High Ground. There are a variety of neat jumps that the player does not expect to be used. These maps are built in a way where there are short cuts to get around things and different way to jump from place to place which throw people off. I also love the slide jumping technique where the player is allowed to slide off of a ramp to gain momentum and speed to jump farther and faster.
What game types do you most often play?
A: I mostly like to play Team slayer, CTF (Capture the Flag), and king of the hill.
What is your game type specialty?
A: I would have to say that CTF is my best because immense amounts of communication must be used to execute a strategy or play that has been practiced by the team. Team Cooperation and talking is important and vital for players.
What control style do you use and what is your sensitivity?
A: I use Boxer, and sensitivity of 5. I find it more comfortable at 5 then what I originally had it at which was 7.
Do you change your sensitivity depending on what game settings/weapons are being used?
A: No I do not because I try and work on one sensitivity, I can basically do everything perfectly fine with 5 its just a matter of getting comfortable with it and knowing how the sensitivity reacts.
What 2 weapons are you most often using?
A: I would have to say Battle Rifle, and Sniper. I absolutely love these weapons. The Battle Rifle is a very dominant weapon if you like to play THC (Team Hardcore) it is very precise and it takes skill to become good with one. It’s not just the battle rifle but strafing while shooing. (moving left to right repetitively) too avoid be shot at combined with a BR can make you deadly. The Sniper on the other hand is my other favorite weapon, if I miss a shot then I can finish it off with the Battle Rifle. But otherwise getting headshots has become harder then halo 2. Because you cannot do a swoosh snipe. Where you swipe over the head and shoot like in halo 2, now it is more responsive and it must be an exact headshot. I like how Bungie made this sniper more like halo 1 sniper, because accuracy is key. No scopes are the most satisfying feeling with a sniper. A lot of skill is in no scopes too anticipate where and opponent will be then shoot.
What is your favorite Halo 3 weapon?
A: I would say the Battle Rifle. I love out Bring kids.
Are you in a clan/team
A: I was on a team but we have split up and were looking for local players so we can LAN together.
Who is your favorite pro?
A: I would have to say Strongside. His Stats are amazing. Besides that I loved how everyone thought he would be really bad for Final Boss. But he isn’t he proved everyone wrong. I love how when even if the world looks down upon you, you show them what you got and amaze them. A very good player who has come over a lot of obstacles too get where he is now and for that he is my favorite pro.
What is your least favorite weapon?
A: I would say the Sword. I absolutely despise this weapon with a passion. I feel that pressing the “R” trigger is too easy and does not feel very satisfying in the end.
What would be one tip you would give a beginner?
A: Practice, Practice, and play people who are better then you, it doesn’t matter how many times you die as long as at the end of the day, you can say you learned something, and know the maps inside and out if you wish to become a good player. A good halo player should be able to know where most weapons are on a map and know how to use them.
