halo isnt an easy game, and most of the people that play are getting better. Ive played alot and here are 3 big tips to keep you ranking up:

1: keep playing! you will learn the maps, where the weapons spawn, how long it takes for the power weapons to repawn and generaly get better with the guns, melee, and most importanly frag grenades.

2: One of the reasons that you might be loseing is that you need to find a team (if your playing a team based game type ie. not lone wolves) play with a group. and get some team work down. in the higher levels of halo ITS ALL ABOUT THE TEAM WORK. plan who goes for what weapons and when given the chance, take any 2 v 1 situation you can. call out the other team and be able to say what your doing.

3: Dont play too agressive. Patience can easly win you a match. The only real reason to play agressive, is to get power weapons, and if the time is running out and your not in the lead. If you do have a solid lead dont throw it away by running into the other team one at a time. in short, always have a plan of how and what your team is going to do.

hope that helped. follow these tips and your game should step up 10 levels or so. good luck

dude, golden sun was like the very best game on the GBA, and it looked like it was going to be a game were we where going to see Nintendo make 1000000000 different sequels to it... and then it disappeared. like they could at least make a DS version of the game where the Turned Based fighting would still hold up....

*JRPG= Japanese Roll Playing Game

hello fellow 360 owners, id like to explain the situation were in right now. 360 didnt sell so well over in asia. The reason im bringing this up is because 360 has kinda been 'the suck' when it comes to quality exclusive RPGs. Ok so we hav oblivion and mass effect, (and u can kinda count bio shock) but thats about it. And as these r great games they just dont hav the classic RPG feel. Some times this isnt bad but all these games fell like shooters to me(ok... ok, u dont use guns in oblivion, but u use a bow, and its like the samething). im not saying this is a bad thing, (i like how RPGs and FPS/TPS are merging to give a more all around gaming experience) but almost every decent Xbox exclusive game involves shooting, and my trigger finger is getting a little tired.

now i know what u thinking. i clicked on this link expecting to read about JRPGs and that word/acronym hasnt been mentioned once. well let me start off by mentioning a game called Eternal Sonata. Most people probably havent even hear of this game, but this was the first great JRPG that was made for the 360. The game may hav been short(ish) but it was moving and it stuck with you. The only problem is that no one bought the game (im guilty, i rented it) so there will probably never be another great JRPG released exclusively for the 360, OR SO I THOUGHT.

Tales of Vesperia came out for the 360 last week, and the game is great. Its fresh and exciting, with a good story and beautiful graphics. The one concern i hav, is that no one will buy it. The majority of the 360 crowd seems to be against games like this, mostly because of the graphics. the 360 attitude is all in your face, and this game looks "childish". And im not going to lie, if a child did play this game they probably would enjoy, but just because younger people would hav fun playing the game dosent mean that you wont.... ok sorry im ranting again, but its just that i c this game as one of the last chances for the 360 to get some variety in there games, and if this game dosent sell well i think that developers (AKA namco.) will stop spending time making great, long lasting games, with in-depth stories, and instead replace the stylish graphics with a gritty gore fest, and the unique game play to a first person run and gun, and finally the story with ur run of the mill speechless hero pwns 'bad guys'.
