Halo 3 Beta Video Strategy Guide

First thing's first, you need to control the Spartan Laser, found on the ridge in the middle of the map. Zoom in and lead your target as it charges up then let rip. It'll take out any vehicle and whoever's in it. Due to the size of the map it's perfect for sniping people from the back of your base or the little tunnels that line the sides.

Another important weapon is the missile pod, located in the back of your base. This heavy weapon homes in like the rocket launcher did in Halo 2 but you'll be a sitting duck while carrying it around. Try jumping into a Mancannon and attacking from the air. Push the exploding barrels into it too, just for a laugh.

You'll get the Trip Mine on this level, which will take out anything that hits its sensors. Keep this in your pocket and drop it just before someone runs you over in a vehicle. Its also great to use during Territories matches or to cover your flank while you peer down the barrell of a sniper rifle.

Keep an eye out for snipers in the main camping areas: on top of the two bases; hiding behind the crashed Pelican; in the secluded caves on the extreme left and right sides of the map and,oddly enough, on the hill in the center of the map. During objective games, you can shut down the opposing team by holding this central hill. Put your two best shots on the hill with the Spartan Laser and Sniper Rifle, then deploy one man each to the rocky areason either flank. These guys should pack close-ranged weapons like the shotty or spikers. Thedead-eyes on the hill can take out anyone crossing the big open field, and provide support for the guyswatching the flanks. Throw a Trip Mine down in the river to stopunwantedvehicle traffic, and you have your opponent effectively hemmed in.
