Any good tips for Halo 3 on-line?

[Jennie]

I need some help getting better at Halo 3. I really really like playing the game the only downside is that when I play, I play with my boyfriend and his friend and they are really good at it so when I play with them I have to play people at their skill level. And to be honest I just get my butt kicked, then they proceed to make me feel bad if the team loses. I just want to be better because I really do enjoy playing the game. I know there is no way to get good besides not playing constantly; but any good tips would really help.
I don't have a gamertag at this point we only play over at our friends house, because we have gone through 5 XBox 360s in like the last 6 months so I am saving up for an Elite so I don't have to to deal with the red ring of death anymore.

Learn the importance of knowing where and when to throw your grenades.

As I find these to be the key to success.

Also, when using sniper, BR, AR, etc. ALWAYS aim for chest or higher.

Whats your gamertag, we should hook up and play some Doubles. I could show you some strategies and tips.

just be an elite.

they are better because its harder to shoot them in the head.

and use the plasma pistol and battle rifle combo. It works nearly everytime.

You do realize that if you get the 'Red Ring of Death," all you need to do is call microsoft and tell them that you're 360 got it and they'll send you a box with their address on it and they'll fix it for you for free. There's a lifetime warranty for the "Red Ring of Death."

Aim for the head with the BR (Battle Rifle) / Carbine
Aim for the chest with the Sniper, Pistol, Assualt Rifle, Plasma Rifle, Plasma Pistol, Mauler, and the Shotgun.
If you shoot someone with the shotgun and they don't die, then push "B" on the controller to finish them off (It only works if you're close enough to the enemy though).
If you have Rockets and someone jumps, then look at where they're going to fall and shoot that spot before they hit it (But time it right to kill them).
Throw a grenade at a spot where an enemy is headed towards, then shoot them.

You can also recover your gamertag from Xbox Live from the Xbox Dashboard when you're not signed in.
