*In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', the cannon is quite inaccurate; the shot had high deviation, but compensated with a high explosive radius. | *In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', the cannon is quite inaccurate; the shot had high deviation, but compensated with a high explosive radius. | ||
*Using the M512 in the level [[Delta Halo (level)|Delta Halo]] in ''[[Halo 2]]'' is tricky, particularly when the player moves into tight quarters and encounters [[Type-32 Ghost]]s due to the steep angles of the Forerunner structures. Self-harm is a constant worry. It is best for players to remain in an open spot and let the Ghosts come to the player, picking them as soon as they apper. If this option is not available it is recommended that players use the [[M247T machine gun|Scorpion's turret machine gun]] instead, which is just as effective thanks to its impressive accuracy and high damage. | *Using the M512 in the level [[Delta Halo (level)|Delta Halo]] in ''[[Halo 2]]'' is tricky, particularly when the player moves into tight quarters and encounters [[Type-32 Ghost]]s due to the steep angles of the Forerunner structures.

*The M512 is undoubtedly at its best in Halo 3; its accuracy is near pin-point with almost no drop, and the splash damage is predictable enough to allow for a skilled tank gunner to eliminate entire Covenant squads with a single round. This is most visible during the latter part of "The Ark", where engagements with enemies take place across wide open areas. | *The M512 is undoubtedly at its best in Halo 3; its accuracy is near pin-point with almost no drop, and the splash damage is predictable enough to allow for a skilled tank gunner to eliminate entire Covenant squads with a single round.
