Strafing now adays.

[Adrenalize]

I used to strafe ALL the time in halo3. switching to halo reach i cant find a good strafe. it just feels so different strafing on halo:reach. ive been working on a strafe . its alright but i cant seem to do that when im playin matchmaking or MLG customs. Could anyone share their strafing techniques? or show me in game or something (:

One of the many things we are told to adapt to...
but, my suggestion is to instead of moving your joystick from left to right, try to move it in a circular motion.

[Adrenalize]

Circular motion? ive never seen anyone go in a circle. sounds interesting lol.

quick random movements to try to disturb the other player. throw in a crouch here or there

Don't strafe much. Just out DMR. It is rare to be thrown off by a strafe. Plus, even those that have it usually have theirs figured out pretty quickly by skilled players. I have some maneuvers of my own though...

Here is a more complete thread on this if you wanted to look http://thelannetwork.com/forum/showthread.php?2047-Strafe&highlight=strafe

I was kinda wondering this too.... What I usually do is kind of a H3 SK Lag strafe (move your joystick right and left really fast), except I add some crouches into my movement as well which seems to help. Keeping your strafe as unpredictable as possible also seems to be key in winning DMR battles.

A lot of people say I have a nasty Strafe (It looks like im lagging) and im far from an online warrior. But what i do is when im up close i try to do an SK strafe with some long lefts and rights thrown in. When im mid range i normally go long one way short the other way back long then do it again but in reverse. I watch replays and it looks like i'm ice skating xD. But sometimes a very fast strafe can throw off your own aim so you gotta practice it a lot.

But to get the strafe up to speed you need to go with your momentum. You will start off slow for a second then your guy will pick it up. That is why sometimes its just better to crouch instead of strafe since you may be already a few shots down and can't really build the momentum up to out strafe your opponent.

Not sure if i have a very good strafe, i think i just use the typical side to side mixing in a crouch... As people said strafing doesn't really throw people off in this game. Well to me it doesn't...

I beg to differ. I'm no spring chicken with Halo, and I'll lose the occassional battle solely because someone pulled a nasty strafe on me.

Nice way to start the day off with some LOLS.

OT: No one should be strafing anymore, it's all about the J-Dot hop.

[WIERDO]

nah, with me, im trying to adapt the ghandi hop and crouch into mine. its mostly moving left and right.

[duartie]

my teammate has an amazing strafe. he moves the stick in a circular motion to the right, and then in the middle of a DMR battle he switches it up and moves his stick in a circular motion to the left. it works really good for him. but it's hard for me to do.

[MrChaosTheory]

I've seen some people SK strafing in Halo Reach, I don't know whether it was lag but I'd be happy to find some video of a guy doing it to me.

It was in the MLG playlist and the strafe looked a lot quicker than what you could normally do. My understanding of an SK strafe is moving the analogue left and right without actually touching the sides.

[gazurk]

I would be as random as possible with your strafe.

[Cajun Cooked]

Strafing is next to pointless with a good teamshot, so dont waste too much time perfecting one.

Crouching works well in Reach, also crouching makes your bloom reset faster, so yea...
