 ==Basic Techniques==
 ===Sprint and jumping===
 Unlike other games with sprint such as Call of Duty, in Reach your sprint meter continues to be used up if you jump while sprinting. This means that bunny-hopping is not useful as a sprint preservation technique. However, since jumping preserves some of your momentum, you can gain a little extra distance out of your sprint by jumping at near the end of a sprint. Testing shows this can save over a second for every 4 full sprints. http://pastebin.com/V5VruCH6

 ===Cutscene Skips===
-Most of the cutscenes can be skiped by holding (Y) and (A) at the same time before they even start, that can save up to 2 secs per level in a Full Game Run.

-'''Minor''' Elites are blue color, they have weak shields (a melee is enought to take them out on legendary difficulty) and not much health.
+The basic way to deal with elites is using a noob combo.

 ===Other Enemies===
-In Halo: Reach, killing one Brute after another often triggers a chain reaction of berserking. Imagine the Brutes as operating in pairs, like the Hunters in Halo 2 and 3. Berserking Brutes will rush you in an unconvincing manner, compared to the fast moving ones in Halo 2 and 3.
+There are other enemies in the game but there aren't a thread because you barely fight against them.

 ===Grenade Jumping===
 As in some other shooters you can use a grenade explosion to gain extra height on a jump, something very useful when we talk about speedruns, can be used for skipping some triggers and also reaching some objectives. You can do this with almost any explosion in the game (Concussion Rifle, Vehicle Explosion, etc) you can try doing it with a Rocket or a Plasma nade but you will mostly die.
