Hey everyone, it's me, the "bad" Halo player featured in this video! Good news: I've enlisted a few coaches and will be competing in HRL soon. My game has improved faster than a Spartan sprinting with Active Camo, thanks to Shyway's and many others sage advice. Yes, I was that terrible, but hey, progress is progress, right? Decided to dive back into the Halo universe 45 days ago when my son started talking about going pro one day. Thought it would be a blast to dust off the old controller, show him that even us old-timers can level up with some hard work. Spoiler alert: we're having an epic time! I started at Silver 2 and now I'm climbing to Gold 5/6. Who says you can't teach an old Spartan new tricks?

@@_Mutt_ Oh, it's definitely not a "C'mon, dad" situation! My son actually thinks I'm cool because I know some of the pros and, of course, Shyway. We have weekly game nights where it's just the two of us-late-night ranked matches followed by a movie on the projector. It's been an awesome way to bond. We're both pretty competitive, so there's a fair share of smack talk and some heart-to-heart lessons along the way. 😄👨‍👦

Thanks, Shyway, for giving these new players and/or non-onyx players practical and simple Halo Infinite advice. I hope they all get to enjoy an overkill someday. We been faithful Halo players for a long time now but these new cats are essential to the longevity of infinite and the Halo series

Have to say following the shy has allowed me to get better. I dropped a 27 kill game yesterday. Still lost sadly, but was a great game and challenge. Map and team knowledge has been great

Getting a refresher of the basics out of this great video! Keep it up man!

Game is not dead I'm fairly new just hit Gold and loving every minute of it. Halo infinite is in a category of its own nothing else scratches that itch for me. Plz keep the videos coming always looking for ways to improve

One thing that help me is memorizing maps...use every opening,corner,high ground edges you can climb that enemies would expect someone in that place and make that your advantage.

Thanks!

having a blast playing halo still, love the content

Banger vid. Been playing pretty well in ranked doubles with the bro, on track to hit onyx pretty soon. Big help has been watching videos like this to inform and guide moment to moment decision making.

commenting this while watching the intro, don’t care if the game has been out for years, i personally have started playing the game maybe a month ago and i love to play competitively so your videos have already helped me a lot! looking forward to this video now to see if i still make rookie mistakes, i really appreciate the great work you do on your channel, keep it up bro you’re the halo coaching goat!!

Great content Alex, theres tips even i forget in here as a fairly experienced player. Always good to help newer and inexperienced players in the franchise

Love it. ‘DevTrog’ next!

My 12 year old daughter and 6 year old son just started playing Halo Infinite couch co-op with me. I’m pushing 50 and been playing Halo for over 20 years. Good times, bad times, Halo still the best. If you keep making Halo videos, I’ll keep watching them.

Always learning something from every video - thanks for the great content!

Congrats for 60k!

I was looking to get back into halo seeing all the big changes that happened with BTB and forge but for some reason I can't even load into the game without it immediately stopping the game load and stops the game with no alert notification nothing telling me why it failed to load (I play on PC purchased through steam), I was looking into fix through Google but could not find anything to help me resolve the issue but I came across you weeks ago when installing and have learned a lot about position and team positioning I quite enjoy the content and plan to keep following even though I am unable to play... Keep the content coming!

Bros gonna be a pro in no time👌🏽

I play competitive halo so I mostly do custom games against other teams for small prize pots but when I go online just to practice against Randoms most of the time it will say not enough players fpr game mode

For some n00b gameplay, my tag is "allienord". Had never touched Halo (or any FPS) until May, did the campaigns, and jumped into multiplayer. Currently Bronze 6 but I feel like I'm making small incremental improvements thanks to these videos. One major change I made is unbinding the melee button, I was panic meleeing way too much when I could have ducked out, now I try to be more intentional about keeping distance (or dying to melee when the enemy gets in close 😹)

Never clicked a video so fast 😅

bump

I hope everyone keeps in mind modern skill-based matchmaking systems (like the one Infinite's social AND ranked playlists) are designed to keep you around a 50% win/loss rate regardless of skill. When it's your "turn" to lose, the game stacks the lobby against you- juuuustt enough that the game can almost guarantee you will lose if you're giving it your best. It does this to keep the worst players winning half their games and also because there have been studies done that show giving players this sense of urgency can keep them playing another game. It's manipulative as hell actually, because most players assume SBMM is giving them fair games, when in reality it isn't always. Basically, don't let it get in your head and stay healthy.

He actually does! But he plays on an ultrawide monitor - which I think is definitely a problem - pulls a lot of PC resources, lowering framerate for visuals and hurts his peripheral awareness - especially for the teammate icons.

You are correct! I was on a ultrawide running 60hz until last week. I just picked up a 25in curved 240hz monitor so this should help a lot. I haven't been able to play on it much at all yet but plan to in the coming weeks.

Hey Shyway I'm trying to get different options from different people do you think the weapons Halo Infinite should hold more ammo and do you think players should be able to carry more extra ammo for those weapons than what they concurrently can carry in Halo Infinite I do at least for firefight

Love these videos!. 🤙

Shyway if you see this. Are there any videos you've got to help mouse and keyboard players? Like settings or tricks etc. Love the channel btw

I need help with deadzones and such to be like Halo 4, just because i ised to be so good that my sensitivity was at 10 but on Infinite i feel slow but in gun play its super fast i dont know its weird for me

As a mid plat player this video made me feel better 😅. But i can say 100% this is probably how I played when I first started last year

Do you plan to do such videos for any other game? Could really use your insight in COD and xDefiant.

Idk what’s up with this games network code cause the registry feels off half the games. I can go 20-5 then 10-15 next game while playing exactly the same.

Gamertag - Decent Evo. I been playing since halo 2 came out. I was really good at h2/h3 and took a hiatus till infinite. I have 2 babies so I can’t play much, but I’m plat 6… but I know I can be onyx. Help me!

Your first problem is exactly your console. Upgrade to Series X asap and you will see INSANE difference. You don't need a 240 fps pc setup though obviously that would be even better, but 30 vs 120 fps is honestly insane difference.

Halo has a very big learning curve. It's all about executing with the weapons you got and need to get BY STAYING ALIVE. Noob players will trade with a melee when they dont have to. Jump backwards and shoot them in the face. Playing Fiesta will help any new player out to learn all the weapons. Everything else is just practice

How much for the coaching?

@Shyway

Hey! Coaching is $60 per session. All sessions are recorded and sent to you as well so you've got something to refer back to afterwards. Full details here: calendly.com/shyway If you have any specific questions, shoot me an email @ alex.c.hope12@gmail.com

Can you still collide tap? Just have everyone start doing that if they didn't patch it.

My biggest weakness is going Rambo, jumping into action and fighting 3 guys at once. Too used to Doom. Great video, it really highlights how Halo was originally a strategic/precision shooter, not an arena shooter. That still is the case despite its faster pace.

SHYWAY LIKE ME PLZ

The game is not dead! I just started playing 3 months ago

if this is a baseline halo player, then i’m doing pretty good for myself, anyhow i will say if they want have a slow x and y then they gotta use a higher accel cause him turning like a sloth is not gonna get a melee in 😂

Halo Infinite is not an easy FPS. It takes practice to really understand the gunplay mechanics. Which are by far the best of any shooter. Imo
