No Weapons Cheat
While playing assault or capture the flag, switch your smg for a plasma pistol, the pistol now being your only gun... Charge up the pistol and don\'t shoot, while charged hold in X and walk over the bomb or flag, you will then exchange the pistol for the flag or bomb, then press your right trigger and you will be gun-less you now only have the ability to throw grenades, but watch out because the moment you walk over a gun you will pick it up!
For an easy kill 1
take the sword and wait for it to turn red on an opponent and hit the right trigger you will fly forward and kill your opponent instantly. note: to counter this attack throw a plasma grenade at the person u will die but so will he.

Hit Damage
Hit damage is based on hitting a human opponent with 75 units of health and 75 units of shield - fully charged. So, shooting a player with more than 150 units of damage will kill him. Naturally a shield power-up will give him some extra breathing room.
Headshots 1
the Sniper Rifle, the human pistol and to a lesser extent, the shotgun, will cause extra - often fatal - damage to the head if aimed correctly.
Headshots 2
To really piss people off in multiplayer, get a plasma pistol, and either brifle, or carbine. Charge your pistol, then quickly switch to the brifle/carbine and if you can get a head shot when their shield is down, you kill them in one hit, this takes skill, but will greatly increase your body count. Double wielding the plasma pistol and the human pistol works well too, but still requires a lot of skill.
Get the Scarab gun 1
Go to the metropolis level, ok so now what you got to do is kill all your marines because if you don't then they will kill what gets your to the scarab gun, kill everything with the tank tell you get to the end with the banshees kill everything but one banshee now what you got to do is lure him through the big street until the end and the jack the banshee and fly it through the little tunnel then fly up on top of the building once out side the hole, and there will be a cone and a plasma rifle and now you have the most powerful gun in the game. p.s: Here's a cool glitch to help you out, get on top of the gunner of the tank you should fall into it then crouch down and your pretty much invincible, fire away!
Get the Scarab gun 2
When you start out on the "Metropolis" level, shoot all the marines to start. Then take the tank and blast any ghosts or wraiths that get in your way, and kill any other marines that join the battle. When the banshee's start flying in, shoot all but one of them. Lead the banshee into the tunnel by shooting it to get its attention. Before you enter the tunnel, you'll need to get a ghost. Keep the banshee with you and wipe out both the humans and the covenant, otherwise the humans will blow up the banshee. After you get through the tunnel, get the banshee into the small tunnel. One you see "Loading...Done" immediately hijack the banshee and fly out. When you get out, turn a little to the left and up, and you will see two bridges. Fly to one of them and the "Scarab Gun" will be there in front of a cone.
