Is i just me or do the snipers never hit the target unless it is red?
I have been standing completely still aiming at my target who was still and it wasn't red I fired at the head first and then body since it was really far but it just never hit him? Is this me or does it happen to everybody?
Please don't say I suck with snipers cause i am always one of the best in the vista games.

How far was the target because the snipers in Halo 2 have a range.

There are only two games that require Windows Vista, and those are the mediocre Shadowrun and Halo 2 Vista. Being one of the best in these games doesn't really impress me. Unless, of course, you were referring to PC games. Which, then, you should have clarified. :P

I think the target you were aiming at was probably really far away. I think the only way to reach someone from extremely far distances is by leading your shot.

Actually in Halo 2 the sniper does have a range. Not the beam rifle, but the human sniper does.

Doesn't seem to be a problem for me on the Xbox version, I snipe from base to base in coagulation.

Yeah.......let me clarify this. Every weapon has a range, some longer than othres. For example, ever notice that occasionally when you shot at a guy pretty far a way with your pistol it never seemed to hit him? That was because you were too far away and the bullets simply "dissapeared" once they reached there maximun range. This is easier to see with plasma weapons, especially the needler. So basically, instead of putting the range of the sniper at 1000 (the pistol was at 30) I guess they changed it to be lower for some reason.....
