Holding the Oddball - The Basics
By Brick | Published: February 11, 2008 11:13am EST

Get Better Fast » Halo 3 Lesson Finder » Game Types » Oddball

* When you hold the ball you do the same amount of melee damage as anyone else, a significant change from Halo 2.

Don't fall silent just because you're holding the ball. You can still call out important things, like power-up respawns!
* Remember while you hold the ball, your team is playing a 3v4 game in that you cannot fire weapons.

* A ball carrier can still communicate. Just because you can’t shoot, doesn’t mean you can’t use your mic to help your teammates. When carrying the ball think of yourself as the goalie in soccer – you don’t want to see shots fired on you and must direct your teammates to prevent this from happening.
