damn, now it's out...

In Response To: Re: Wait. (ajenteks)

: Then yes, I know how. Hit the reload button twice quickly, and then switch
: weapons. You will hear the reload sound for the gun you put away. Switch
: back, and you're ready to rock and roll.

The story of this trick goes back a long way. I'm almost glad somebody finally got it out so I wasn't the one telling everybody. I found out about the trick from a unamed source with "ins" to the competative Halo community about 7-8 months ago. Back then it was a pretty secret trick with only maybe 5 people knowing about it. StK should be credited as the finders of this trick. I actually tried to tell Wu about this when I threw my LAN but we were too busy TKing Blackstar. :)

This is probably one of the most powerful tricks around. Reloading a RL is no longer a vunerable task. Swap out to a pistol, kill the next guy, and double kill his teamates real fast.

This trick works on Halo PC as well. I bet the beta testers wondered why I was always shooting and never reloading... ;)

The only two weapons this trick is not that effective with is the SR and Shotgun. The shotgun will only reload a shell, and the SR reloads too fast to get any sort of quantifiable advantage from.
