[Xbox Live: Newbie Tips req]

Best Weapons depend very much on your own choice and what you want it for

For general stuff, most people use M8 carbine, M4 Scope or T95. You'll find the best players tend to use these weapons most of the time, no matter what they're doing, because they're jack of all trades.  You can snipe, you can go full auto, and you can move quickly about.

If you're sneaking about on Mountain Falls etc  then the silenced MP5.  It has less impact per round but if you're taking people by surprise then you'll do just fine.  Don't go in head first against people with other weapons tho'.

If you're sniping on Trainyard, Battlefield etc and want to stay hidden then the silenced sniper.  Takes ages to zero in for each shot, but no-one knows where you are.

If you're sniping more generally and want a guaranteed one shot , one kill then the KBU88.  Sounds like an elephant rifle as well, very satisfying.

On Ghost village and peninsular, people tend to use gunner, MG36 or SAW. Using any gunner weapons means you move more slowly, especially sideways, so you may prefer a riflman weapon where you can dodge incoming fire much better.

Don't forget that on most maps and on most games esp things like LMS Quarry, it's a race to get to the best spots quickly, that means not wasting time choosing your weapons, crack on with the M8 straight off the bat.  You run quicker stood up, than you do crouching.

LMS -Last Manstanding

SS - Sharpshooter

HH - Hamburger Hill

DS - Double Siege

SIE - Siege

RCR - Recovery

My favourite is Sharpshooter because you get much more involved in a 10 minute game.  trouble is, some people do love to spawn camp.  Much argument as to whether this is acceptable way to play or not.  Personally I don't think it's very clever and people who do it ought to go and play halo2 instead. <ducks for incoming>

Most people seem to like LMS as it's more realistic ie you get killed and you're dead!!  Also avoids spawn campers.

Enjoy!!
