How to Kill a Drone on Halo 3

In Halo 3′s campaign you will eventually come up against Drones. They are weak and small, but in their vast numbers are one of the most powerful forces in the game. If you’re not careful you can find yourself in a tricky situation against them, so here’s a few tips on how to kill drones.

Note – Drones are a type of insect-like Covenant infantry found only in Halo 3′s campaign. They usually carry plasma pistols, but can also carry needlers, and have the ability to fly around the level.

Steps

1. Take cover! Drones appear from nowhere with only a moments notice and can be devastating if you are not in cover.

How to Budget Your Money

Unless you budget your money, you’re practically inviting unnecessary debt into your life and making it impossible to save. These steps will help you figure out how to make a budget so you can control your spending accordingly.

Steps

Initial Steps

1. Determine your overall income. Are you on a fixed salary where you know for certain how much you’re taking home each week? Are you a freelancer whose salary varies each month? Having a rough idea of how much money you can expect to earn is key in creating a successful budget.

2. Identify how you’re spending money. What are the bills that you have to pay every month? Do you go out to dinner with friends every Friday night or go to the movies once a week? Looking at where your money is going will give you a better handle on tracking it.

How to Become Politically Well Connected

Moving up the ranks in an organization is like winning in a poker game: it requires luck and skill. Unless you are a born politician, there are a few ways in which you can help yourself move up.

Steps

1. You can “get attached” to a rising star by becoming very involved in his/her operations. In this way, when the person will be moving up, he/she will be promoting you as well. Getting to know the person very closely (by understanding their views, strengths, and deficiencies) is the key.

2. You can form your own small group within the party and become its leader. In this way, you can earn some respect from the party elders by showing them that you can get people to align with you. This can be a good way to assess your potential for a political advancement: if you can become a leader of a small group of people, your chances of becoming a leader of a larger group of people are good.

3. Keep in mind that many people want to move up and very few actually do. Sometimes they do it by pure accident (close neighbors with an influential person). Sometimes they are noticed by influential people for their achievements in small projects. So, volunteering for projects and getting them done to the satisfaction of the more influential members is another w[...] Read More...
