Persistence is the key to Halo 2, also, don't panic, you can see a lot of the time when you encounter someone up close, and especially dual wielding, they knee jerk react to seeing an opponent, if you keep cool they end up spraying bullets everywhere but at yourself. It's not so much the case now I'm moving up the levels (level 9 on big team battle, but I know I'm better than that, just don't have the time to commit like my friend has, I think he's played 400+ games and I'm edging 200).
I look forward to playing some of you.

Oh and one more thing, I hope you don't mind a spot (lot?) of bad language, unfortunately I tend to swear like a trooper, I'm suprised actually that I haven't been kicked off Xbox live for it.
