At first I was getting angry like I normally do but she's italian and she started getting angry too and I didn't want any of that :) So I calmed down and just helped her focus on the important stuff, and she ended up completing mission one, 3 BTB games with 5 or less deaths. I don't know if I should count this or not because she got lucky in that they were all Ragnarok and she has a "process" she does on Ragnarok;. What she does is she runs to the sniper, sets up on base, if she sees someone she snipes (at) them, if she doesn't she waits. If a vehicle comes nearby she goes invisible or runs, unless she feels she can get a sticky on them, which she did a few times on Exile last night but I don't think she got any in these three games. Here's the stats for the 3 games:
GAME 1: 50 points, 2 kills, 3 assists, 1 death.
GAME 2: 25 points, 2 kills, 0 assists, 3 deaths.
GAME 3: 35 points, 3 kills, 1 assist, 2 deaths.
You may notice she went positive on two of those games, so she almost completed mission 2 and 3 as well (3 BTB games 5 or less deaths with positive ka/d, then positive k/d). I think she will accomplish Mission 2 fairly quickly, but Mission 3 I think will take her a bit longer and I'll have some time to work with her.
So she had .35k / .68ka / 37%w before she played last night, and .37k / .70ka / 38%w when she finished last night. An improvement across the board!
As promised here's another video. I could not find the video I was thinking of (it may have been my son who is fairly new to Halo matchmaking (we've done a lot of the campaigns together) as well, I think he went 20 and 19 with the assault rifle). This video she goes 9 kills, 2 assist, 11 deaths so almost double kills with a positive ka/d:

QUESTION FOR YOU: I kind of wondered if I should have done this a bit different, like tried to get her kills up to double digits THEN worried about deaths. Thoughts? May be too late, but the thought did cross my mind...

their are plenty of people out their that go 14 and 19, I will take someone that goes 4/5 over them as long as they are putting shots into the bad guys. I would just concentrate on her to just keep shooting. Hell if someone goes 5 13 8, at least they are bringing shields down.

i was really bad when i started playing H3.
one night i played with dixon, F1R3, and Neks. they gave me a bunch of pointers.
1. don't die!
2. unless you have a reason to go "covert" you should be dumping as many bullets as you can.
3. if you die with grenades, you're doing it wrong.
4. always have cover, and try to hold high ground.
5. don't walk on the sidewalk. meaning to don't take the beaten path. you watch the beaten path from a vantage point.
given everything i've read, you're on the right path, but she may want to be shooting more. staying at the base has it's advantages, but she should explore the are around the base as well. baby step it.
she can try:
(cliff side base)
the double rocks right in front of the base
the little nook on the cliff to the left of the base
the rocks near the cave to the right of the base.
(sea side base)
the large rock to the left front of the base (pride rock)
the large split rock to the right front of the base and there is also a little nook if you turn right once you are out of the split
just some ideas to get her a little closer to the action, but not up close and personal. she'll have more shooting lanes with cross fire action. she's also closer and can really use the DMR more effectively at that range.

1.) if her shields pop, like they did when she was behind cover when the warthog went flying by (3:30-4 min mark) she needs to stay out of firing lanes until they recharge all the way. She poked her head out just enough to be shot and die.
2.) shortly before that she was being chased by a ghost and hid in the corridor. A red dot was running up behind her and she was too focused on the ghost, which wasn't a threat anymore. He came up behind her and killed her.
3.) her aim needs improving and her rhythm of shooting is off. Because she shoots too fast, her dmr is kicking way too much for her, or anyone else if they were doing the same thing, too control.
4.) when she goes around corners, she needs to start looking around those corners before she runs into them. This means turning her body in the direction of the corner before she rounds it instead of passing it and then turning.
everyone else has great comments, and wamam said most of the stuff i was going to say anyway.
ask one of the better halo players, like normalguy, to give her a class
