Check out the Postgame Carnage Report! The uncensored, NSFW Halo fan podcast!

Halo 2's retarded auto-aim makes a good sniper. Making good shots in Halo CE or Halo 3 = good sniper.

Halo 2 = child assisted auto aim.

That, and not standing in the middle of the map, and always having a BR or Carbine or Beam Rifle as a backup, and always staying under cover. Moving around a lot helps. Halo 2's ridiculous auto-aim makes it 2384723 times easier to snipe though.

I feel that its just as easy to snipe in Halo: CE as it is in Halo 2.

NO SCOPING, you're never going to play a game where at least 1 fight doesn't get really close. Avoid his shots and calmly shot your own. Also the snipe accross the map, or mid-air snipe doesn't hurt

I keep reading about this 'aim assist' crap. I've missed people by what looks like a bullets width. How the hell do I turn on this 'aim assist'??

Hello, is there anybody else in here?

Good Aim.

***Keys to good sniping****
1. Find a high sensitive thats good for you
2. Keep moving. Even while zoomed in
3. Headshots
4. No Scoping

Also use beam until it overheats then switch to human. after that switch to beam cuz it will be cooled down by then

There was a man from Allentown who fed his son to death.
He calmly watched him gorge himself until his final breath.
And there he stood, surprised and shocked above his tiny frame.
He said: "I bear no blame for this. I only share his name!"

im a former Halo PC player (once i got a 360 i quit) and in PC the netcode would be soooo bad, that you have to lead your shots. for me it is very bad because im so used to leading my shots. its been difficult not too.

  • 06.25.2007 11:41 AM PDT

lol

its pretty much skill. I'm a good sniper because i can keep the reticle steady, stay calm, and I always shoot to kill.

getting at least 7 (unassisted) kills with your 12 shots.....sniping on halo 3 is just a much of a joke as it is on halo 2. got triple kill when sniped 1 person on mongoose and two going off man cannon. just takes time, and the ability to shoot while moving.

no luck, a steady finger (low senseitivity) practice, and a sniper rifle.

HALO<3

my advice on how to snipe in H2 is go crazy, swipe your crosshair over enemies heads and keep flicking the right anologue stick left and right, up and down

also most H2 players can get head shots instantly and anyone whos played asension rifles at level 34+ should know how frustrating it is when one team has a sniper

My last thread: Why Reach Sucks

<3 Foman

Well i don't usually lose team snipers ever... Beat strongside in rumbe snipes on H2C and got my 27 in H2C from a rumble snipers game. So i can snipe a little. It's all about placement, putting yourself at a good angle. You want to keep your sniper at head so you can quick scope, and if you'r about to go around a corner, say about to walk around to the back of a base on beaver creak, scope in, keep it in 5x's, and sweep snipe people as soon as you see them. Always switch it up and move around, like don't just camp because you got a few kills on the top of big tower, jump to the spiral ramp (ascension) and look at banshee pad. DO NOT HESITATE. If you think someone is someplace, poke out and be prepared to quickly pop it on their head and kill them. If you miss, and you dodge behind a wall, and they're just frozen staring at your position. Guess what you should do? No you don't pop out and try to out snipe them, auto-aim makes that a retarded move, unless you know they suck lol. In general back down and look somewhere else and try to pick off anyone who heard the shots of your battle and try to kill them before they see you. There really isn't a whole lot of luck in snipers if you play it right. In ffa it isn't really at all, teams can be if your team is oblivious of snipe entrails and have no idea how to call out or aid a team mate hiding behind a wall waiting for cover fire. Generally with sniper games:

-Don't hesitate
-Stay by cover and check for common camping spots before crossing any open areas.
-Be aware of every angle you can be shot at, at all times.
-Don't try to line up a shot too much, just give it a precise flick onto their heads and let the massive auto aim do the work.

that should be enough to make any of you guys known snipers amoung your peers if you apply it.

Oh and P.S. I know none of you care if your holding a beam or human sniper. But use the human for long range battles when you need more ammo, and use the beam for closer battles when you need the quick double shot to finish up someone jumping away or poking out. Think about it, quick 2 shot to kill someone in quicker paced battles, and the human snipe for those longer battles where your picking people off in the open. I hope that one opens a few doors for you guys in the future.
