Halo multiplayer questions

[Argo]

Recently I started player multiplayer halo. At first the players were about the same level as me, but as I got pushed into higher eschelon - they going got tough.

The players I play against now can do thinks that I can that makes it prety hard to compete. Can somebody explain how they do these things?

1) Charge with sword - when I attack with sword my guy just swings the sword. When they attack - their player charges 5 steps and then attacks.

2) One shot kill another player with brute-shot. I have full armor and every once in a while I get one shot killed with brute shot. Is it a head shot?

3) Kill you with machine gun (the weapon you begin with) in less than 1 second. Are they really that good that they get all shots into your head?

1) To charge with the sword all you have to do is get close enough for the lock on to happen, the thing in the middle of your screen will turn red. Hit the trigger and your player will jump forward and kill them.

2) Could be, I'm not sure and the details you give leave it open to lots of possibilities.

3) Some people are, yes.

2) I think the brute shot and shotgun both give you a one shot kill at point blank range
3) Are you sure you were killed with bullets and not with a melee after a few shots?

Dying quickly with the Brute or Assault Rifle are most likely the result of a few shots + melee.

You only think you die in one shot from the brute shot, but your actually getting meleed right after being shot, I do it to people all the time.
