Controlling Space

 Hold your ground soldier! In every Halo 3 map there are desirable positions to hold. While you never want to just sit still, controlling space may just mean holding tight and being patient. Many experienced veterans amass huge kill counts just by waiting for the other player to blindly turn a corner. Controlling space can mean maintaining a power position, such as the Sniper Tower on The Pit, or simply making the best of the place you find yourself on the respawn. Certain weapons change the areas you should control. For example, if you have a rocket launcher on The Pit, you’ll be able to dominate the area known as “green” that surrounds the Rocket Area. On Construct, a Rocket Launcher can make quick work of anyone coming up a lift. When you get control of a power weapon, look to position yourself to do the most damage with it and then try to control that spot. 
The top ring area on Pit is an excellent area to control, offering many angles while simultaneously providing cover.
As you come to learn all the maps and game types in Halo 3 MLG settings, you will start to recognize the spots that must be held to control a map and win. But beyond this, controlling space means understanding the game enough to know your opponents and outsmart them. This goal can be achieved by hiding in a strange spot, holding your ground longer than expected, or coming at an enemy in a powerful position from an angle he or she would never suspect. |
