<[Section II.]>

Intro


This document will help you dodge enemy fire and melee attacks so you can live longer. One of the easiest ways to avoid being shot in multiplayer is to quickly 
glance at your enemy's screen. While strafing you should keep firing at your enemy and either move toward your enemy or try to find a place to hide so your 
shield can recharge. After dodging an enemy's melee attack I suggest trying to get behind your enemy, as their back is there weak spot. For example marines, 
cyborgs, elites, grunts, and jackals can be killed in one punch if you hit them in the back. 
=================================================================================================================


<[Section III.]>

 Human Weapons


Pistol---------------------------If an enemy is firing a pistol at you simply keep strafing in one direction or go slowly from side to side.



Assault Rifle-------------------If an enemy is firing an assault rifle at you simply keep strafing in one direction or go slowly from side to side.



Rocket Launcher--------------If you have enough time you can strafe left or right. If the rocket is low to the ground jump, if it is up high duck.



Shotgun------------------------If an enemy is firing a shotgun at you simply keep strafing in one direction or go slowly from side to side.



Sniper Rifle---------------------The only way to avoid being shot by a sniper in multiplayer is to look at the sniper's screen to see where he is aiming.



Grenade------------------------If the grenade lands behind you move forward, if it lands in front of you move backward. If it lands on your left move to the right, if it 
lands on your right move to the left. If the grenade lands right where your standing move forward as you can run faster forward than backward or strafing.
=================================================================================================================


<[Section IV.]>

Covenant Weapons


Plasma Pistol-------------------If an enemy is firing a plasma pistol at you simply keep strafing in one direction or go slowly from side to side.



Charged Plasma Pistol-------If you have enough time you can strafe left or right. If the bolt is low to the ground jump, if it is up high duck.



Plasma Rifle--------------------If an enemy is firing a plasma rifle at you simply keep strafing in one direction or go slowly from side to side.



Needler--------------------------Strafe and move backwards until you find something to hide behind.



Fuel Rod Cannon---------------If you have enough time you can strafe left or right. If the bolt is low to the ground jump, if it is up high duck.



Grenade--------------------------Same as the human frag grenade except instead of landing where you are standing it will stick to you, if this happens I suggest that 
you get as close to the nearest enemy as possible so you will take them out with you.
=================================================================================================================


<[Section V.]>

Human Vehicles


Warthog--------------------------To avoid being run over strafe left if the warthog is on your right or strafe right if the warthog is on your left. While strafing keep 
moving forward. To avoid the warthogs 12.7mm machine-gun simply strafe left or right until you find something to hide behind, or get right up to the warthog and 
the gunner won't be able to hit you, but you still can be run over if you touch the warthog while it is moving.



Scorpion---------------------------It is difficult to get out of the scorpion's way because it is so wide. If the scorpion is on you left strafe right and if necessary jump 
the tanks track pods, if the scorpion is on your right strafe left and jump if necessary. Even if you barely touch any moving vehicle while jumping you will be killed. 
You can't really dodge the 90mm HV shell, but you can avoid being shot by looking at your enemy's screen. To avoid the scorpion's 7.62mm AP-T, strafe left or 
right until you find something to hide behind.
=================================================================================================================


<[Section VI.]>

Covenant Vehicles


Ghost-------------------------------To avoid getting run over either duck and hope the ghost goes over you or strafe left if the ghost is on your right or strafe right if 
the ghost is on your left. To avoid the ghost's two plasma cannons strafe left or right until you find something to hide behind.



Banshee----------------------------The only way I have figured out to avoid getting sliced in two is to line yourself up with the banshee and duck hoping you will pass 
between its wings. To avoid the banshee's two plasma cannons strafe right or left until you find something to hide behind. To avoid the banshee's fuel rod 
cannon simply move out of the way or find something to hide behind.
=================================================================================================================


<[Section VII.]>

Humans


Cyborg------------------------------To dodge another cyborgs melee attack move out of their way by strafing left or right.



Marines------------------------------Marines do not have a melee attack.
=================================================================================================================


<[Section VIII.]>

Covenant


Hunter-------------------------------To avoid the hunter's melee attack strafe to the left if the hunter is on your right or strafe to the right if the hunter is on your left.



Elite----------------------------------To avoid an elite's melee attack, strafe to the left or the right while moving backward. Elites attack quickly so be careful. Yellow 
elites will not try to hit you unless they have a sword.



Sword Elite-------------------------It is impossible to dodge a sword elite's melee attack, but you can prevent him from hitting you. If you see a sword elite coming 
after you, start running backwards but keep facing the elite. Most likely the elite will try to pounce on you, so as soon as he jumps hit him with a charged plasma 
pistol blast. This will momentarily stun him and disable his shields allowing you a quick, easy, and clean kill.




Jackal--------------------------------Jackals do not have a melee attack.



Grunts-------------------------------Grunts do not have a melee attack.
=================================================================================================================


<[Section IX.]>

Flood


Infested Elites----------------------It is impossible to dodge an infested elite's melee attack.



Infested Marines-------------------It is impossible to dodge an infested marine's melee attack.




Infesters-----------------------------Simply move out of their path by strafing left or right.



Infester Breeders------------------Basically they are frag grenades on legs so treat them the same way you would a frag grenade. They only explode when they are 
shot, when another breeder explodes near them, or when they get near you and fall down.
