Welcome to the Halo: CE Tips & Guide thread. I made this thread because tonight Halo: the Master chief collection drops and in it is Halo: CE, which is regarded as the most skillful, in-depth and hardest halo game to play (all facts btw.). There is a lot to learn about the game and all I can say is play it, have fun and if you want to get better use the information provided inside this thread.
Warning: If you don't plan on trying to learn everything there is to know to better yourself as a player try to make sure you at least use a timer and learn how the spawn system works. You will lose every single game against competent players without either, no hyperbole.
Spawn System Explained
Tons of info about how the spawns work and to manipulate them + interactive maps to explore

Grenade Tricks
Talking and Visual Timers
Halo 1 doesn't have an in-game clock so you will need one to properly time weapons and powerups (if you want to win matches).
