Any advice on getting better at Halo 5

I have been playing halo all of my life I’m good at the campaigns and warzone game modes but when it comes to pvp I’m lacking in the skill so if anyone could give me some advice that would be great

Always aim on the head.

Start slow on social

Practicing map movement in customs before u play matchmaking. Work your jumps and reticle placement (look where they will be before they are there), find someone slightly better then u to buddy with do octagon for a hour or two a day better to do it before matchmaking this allows you to implement and improve your strafing skills. And watch pros on twitch the way you become the best is play like the best it doesn't hurt to have a good headset and elite remote to give u better hearing and prevent joysticks from sticking slightly better accuracy. Find halo communities to join up like the one I'm in where u have alot of ppl to learn from and play competitively with and against each other. There is probably some stuff I'm forgetting but that's a good start

This is a common misconception, you only need to shoot the head once the enemies shields are broken. Why aim for the smallest part of the enemy when you can shoot their body first.

Identify what you are struggling with the most and assess why you lose a scrim in those situations. Don’t worry about cool map tricks as they’re not going to help you if you can’t kill the enemy at the end of it.

The way I improved was to:

1. Identify the realistic sensitivity that works best for you.
2. Try to stay calm and not get emotionally invested if you’re losing or lost an encounter.
3. Replay your match if you had a bad game, see what you did wrong in terms of map movement.
4. Replay a good game to see why you did so well and how you can replicate that.
5. Persevere. Improvements don’t always happen overnight, improvements are subtle.
6. Be sure to take a couple of minutes for a break in between games every now and then, honestly stretch and move your arms and legs for two minutes to get your blood flowing as it is a natural way of increasing focus and awareness. It will also help you feel better too.
7. Be sure to check your settings on controller (if not using KBM). Such as vibration (in my personal opinion vibration is simply one of those things that are more of a liability than an asset, so take that into consideration). Dead-zones, does your controller actually require them? If not pop it down to 0. Check that toggle crouch is off. (Hold to crouch allows you to move more fluid). Hold to clamber is personal preference, and so is auto stabilise. I personally use hold to clamber and auto stabilise off.
8. Octagon warmups are a fantastic idea.
9. If you get the opportunity to play custom 8’s with friends then absolutely utilise that opportunity!
10. And now most importantly, be kind on yourself, you are always your harshest critic and you need to cut yourself some slack from time to time and just really appreciate any victories no matter how small they may seem.

I hope these help!
