The Pro's

The Con's

You Dont Always Go Prone When You Land

You May Lose Sight Of The Enemy


Button Layout?

The Layout Of Your Buttons Is Very Important For The Drop shot.

using the tactical button layout is the most common. yet some people do use default. to change your layout go to START - OPTIONS - BUTTON LAYOUT - TACTICAL. the tactical button layout switches your melee attack with your crouch/prone. so now to crouch/prone you use your right analog stick ( for xbox and ps3) and your melee with be "B" forxbox or "O" for ps3 the whole point of changing your layout is so that you can go into prone and be able to aim with your analog stick.


So What Is A "Dropshot"

Simple. the dropshot is a technique used for tricking your Enemy. by either jumping up going into prone and shooting or just going into prone and shooting. yet its not as simple as it sounds. i prefer jumping and going prone but everyone is diffrent. okay so here it is step by step guide.

1. once you see your enemy aim (zoom in) at them
2. jump up in the air(whilst still aiming)
3. when you are about to land go into prone ( Pushing the analog stick)
4. you should still be aiming
5. now shoot at your enemy

Well done youve done your first ever dropshot.

A few things to remember .

This must be done quick before your enemy can get a target on you.

only use this for close combat.

Dont forget your new controls. crouch is now your analog stick and melee is either B or O

Practise makes perfect.

Get used to your layout first!

Dome: not to good for dropshot to small

Downfall: this map is the same as seelow.

Hangar: great map for drop shotting

Makin: also a good map.

Good guide anyway, dropshots are easy to me, so this wasn't so helpful to me, good effort tho.

i would like to play with someone in a private match that is good at this technique

i have never seen anyone that could pull this technique off to a real advantage over my acuracy. I just laugh at people in the lobby for thinking they were playing halo.
