Halo 3 Tips: How To Win on The Pit King of The Hill

Hill points on this map are under the Sword Bridge and in both of the pits on either side of the map. Before you attack the hill under the sword bridge always throw both of your grenades first .If possible don’t enter the hill until at least two players are dead, Once you have control keep toward the back where the OS spawns and if you see more than two red dots on radar leave the hill backwards toward the long hallway where overshield spawns and wait for one or two players to die or become extremely weak before going back. If you are preparing to approach the hill while it’s underneath Sword Bridge the best way is to come from the training area using your grenades. When you come near wait for the opportune moment to drop in, don’t just do it blindly. Remember you don’t want to weaken anyone for other players to mop up making it easier for them to be king of the hill. Don’t use a sniper in the hill. I’d say if you get anywhere from fifteen to twenty seconds per hill move before dying that you did well and on spawn don‘t go back because it’s preparing to move over to one of the pits. I’d love to tell you that it’s going to move in a predictable order but the truth is that it does not. The only information you have regarding where the hill moves after it was under the bridge is that it’s going to one of the pits. Based off of which one it was in last time do your best to guess which one. If you find yourself in a pit hill and notice on radar someone coming from where the rockets spawn instead of fighting them and risk getting shot from behind, move towards the training side and hide in the little corner there at the training ramp grabbing as much time as possible before firing on anyone. If you have to, go ahead and leave the hill altogether for a few moments to allow yourself a better chance of survival thus maximizing the amount of time you get per interval. Remember to stay crouched while in the hill at all times until your position is no longer a secret. Best weapons to have out while king of the hill depend which spot it’s in at that moment. If it’s under the Sword Bridge they would be the shotgun or mauler, and the rocket launcher. If it’s in the pit I’d say a BR is your best bet. Use it to keep players approaching from a distance at bay Remember what I’m going to call a rule…if you get fifteen to twenty seconds in the hill and then die don’t return to that hill until it moves to either the other pit or underneath the bridge.This article was taken from Sean Hinsinger's guide aka TC Legends "The Real Guide to Halo 3 Multiplayer."
