The Rough Draft for the Hemorrhage strat has been posted. It definitely needs to be refined. I would ask that you guys try to run it and offer feedback.

Also, some sections need to be expanded.

Get in there and post!

I added three threads for general tactics discussion for Invasion, BTB, and Small Maps. Feel free to post any odd bits or thoughts you have from those playlists there. If it's useful or relevant, I'll move your post to the respective thread that already exists.

But now, you all can just post random shit that occurs to you without worrying about where it belongs. Good idea? I'm awesome. ::flex::


On another note: I will not be writing any more BTB strategies. Invasion is where my passion is, and it takes a lot of time, film, frustration, and effort to create a working strategy. And, frankly, I don't see the point in putting so much effort into a playlist that makes me want to quit Halo. So, I'll be doing more Invasion stuff, and I will probably finish off Hemorrhage since it does show up in Invasion.

If anyone else steps up to put strats together, I will help you all the way, but someone else has to step up for the BTB stuff in the War Room, because I'm not doing it alone.

With the help of RJ, I've begun adding labeled screenshots to the Invasion: Boneyard - Elite Guide.

I've added a few tactics-relevant screenshots to tier 1. Please give me feedback. Should I add more?

I'm also aware that we need to take a few more callout-related screenshots.

Edit: Just spoiler'd the strategy. If you scroll through now without opening a spoiler tab, you will be able to pick up on the callouts, learn the objective of each tier, and get a few general tips. I'm trying to keep things simple for people who aren't that interested in Invasion strategy, but don't want to be clueless. Did I accomplish that?

Edit 2: Moved the spoilers around in the Spire guides, too. Also added a YouTube clip to the Spire Spartan Guide. You can use The Index to find them easily. I will add new screenshots to the Spire guides as well.

And as always, feedback is appreciated.

I did a complete overhaul of the Spire Spartans and Spire Elite guides.

I complete rewrote most of the Spartan strat, and rewrote tiers 2 and 3 for elites. Also, I added screenshots. I consider myself done with this for now. If you all have clips or screens that might help, feel free to post them.

At this point, I can't make the guides much simpler or easier to understand. I've simplified it to the point that each fireteam has an objective at each tier, and added screenshots to help with my descriptions (which I have also shortened considerably).

I will probably do a post on how the War Room has evolved over time so you can understand how awesome the things we do are.

Grenade Launcher thread moved to War Room. Beginnings of a weapon guide started.

Need EVERYONE to post thoughts, random facts, and tips in THIS THREAD.

Random b.net vids are useful. I can have them embedded in the guides for extra awesomness.

First update of the new year!

DuckE posted his splatter guide: To Splatter or Not to Splatter?

It's really good, and even contains DuckE's unique silliness while still giving really good splattering tips.

I moved Haut's post about fighting Banshees to the War Room, cleaned it up, and turned it into a Hog vs. Vehicles thread.

Check it out. Let's finish out the OP with how to fight all of the Reach Vehicles with the Warthog.

Couple of updates.

I posted an Invasion Hogging Guide: Hogging 140, Black Knight made a number of threads for BTB Strategy, and there a few other discussions regarding blocking the sword and strafing.
