#1. Very basic, but always reload when not under fire.
#2. Weapon priority is key. Here is mine: Sniper Rifle, DMR, Needle Rifle, Plasma Rifle, Assault Rifle, Needler, Spike Rifle. The big guns are tricky in that they have limited ammo and you would tend to save them for something important, but you may end up just not using it. All lesser guns have their limited uses.
#3. You have a health bar that does not regen, so you have to find the little red packs and use them to restore health.
#4. Don’t prioritize enemies. It may be tempting to kill elites before grunts, but en mass the grunts are just as dangerous. If there is one grunt floating around, maybe you can ignore one. But do take out enemies with big guns and sniper rifles.
#5. You can edit your Spartan from the main menu any time.
#6. Movement, jumping, going in circles are all key tactics to avoiding damage.
#7. Use your armor abilities. All allow you an escape route or some way to not be killed.
#8. Grenades are abundant, so use them. Best against groups, but shielded enemies or elites/brutes behind cover is a good use too.
