Subject: Sniper rifle from halo 1 or2 which one is better?

At pretty much any distance further than point-blank, it seems way easier.

here is what both of them look like at the minute

Halo CE Sniper Rifle
* More ammo
* can kill up to 3 people with 1 shot (if the 1st person has no shield)
* night vision


Halo 2 sniper
* cant think of anything that makes it better


so id have to say the Halo CE Sniper Rifle was better


* It fires faster.

That's just about it.

I like the sniper rifle from halo one better because not only does it have night vision and a distance gadge that measure the distance to your target, but it can pierce through two enemy at the same time and in one shot too. It also look a lot better too.

I like the one from halo 1 better

My Grunty claws will STING!

He's gone, thank the nipple!

The 2 sniper rifle is cool but I like this about the Halo one:
1. Night vision
2. Overpenatration
3. Firing is more realistic
4. Mele is more realistic

H2 rifle is good too though

If you invite me to your group you will be blocked.

I'd say they're both the same, they just get tweaked a little because the games are different.

Look at this DUDE.

I like Halo 2 sniper rifle better and I love the beam rifle too.

That's really too bad about no night vision in H2, that could have made a cool level.

the first one of coarse, yes you can shot faster with the 2nd one but , man i just like the first one better , it sounds more like a real sniper than the 2nd when you shot it, and the night vision was a plus.

Have you guys ever killed two grunts with one shot in Halo 2? NO...

Yes, got two and wounded an other.

Does Halo 2's sniper rifle take skill? NO, that's what auto-aim, larger hitboxes, slower moving targets, and magnetism are for.Have you heard of crappy connection on Xbox Live?

Also I rarely use the night vision, and what would be the point? Their are not that many(Backwash but that got removed) big open dark maps in Halo2.

It would be pointless to have night vision in Halo 2 because their is one dark multiplayer map.

Don't forget that Halo 1 has no dark multiplayer maps. The nightvision was included for the 'Truth and Reconciliation' night level. Not to mention that the night vision was worthless, by the way. All it did was make everything with a green tint, It didn't help illuminate anything at all.

Not to say that the Halo 2 sniper was better, mind. For one, it took away the motion tracker when you zoomed in (which makes sense for balance issues, if the H2 sniper is as overpowered as everyone says it is). But the H2 sniper rifle had the cool feature of showing ammunition remaining in the magazine right next to the reticle, which puts less strain on your eyes, because you don't have to use periphrial vision to see how much ammo you have left!!!1 :O

...Using the button to activate the flash light does the same for night vision in the sniper rifle.

Depends what you mean by better.
Yeah. If it's "better" by how easily it can kill people, then I guess the sniper rifle in Halo 2 is a "better" weapon since it just gives you the kills.

The sniper rifle from the first game can hold up to 24 bullets in back up, in addition with four bullets already loaded. That's twenty-eight bullets, total. The sniper rifle from the second game, however, can only hold twenty bullets, with four already loaded, making a total of twenty-four. That's a whopping difference of four bullets between games. So, I guess the first game's rifle is better, because it's just that leet.


Wrong. You can get up to 64 bullets. In Truth and Reconciliation and other missions you start with 64 bullets. But you can get only 24 bullets :P

They are kind of equal. Let me explain, Halo 1's sniper had night vision and it's shots were powerful, but it was harder to use. Halo 2, it was accurate and it's rate of fire was greater, but it didn't have the ability to shoot through people

Yeah... is it just me or when you start T&R on a higher setting such as Legendary, you start off with less than sixty four bullets...

:D Im pretty sure i used the night vision scope on other maps too other than Truth and Rec... it was awsome. Yep... confirming the fact that in fact i think that the Halo CE S2 AM Sniper Rifle was more powerful than the H2 sniper. Has anybody here killed more than 3 with one sniper shot? I've killed 2 with a sniper shot... and in Halo CE i've even managed to kill 3 grunts and a jackal =P The only good thing about rapid fire is if you're <<<INACCURATE>>> and you decide to miss... or you decide to use the sniper rifle as a close range weapon. :) Trust the sniper guys.
