Bungie doesn't see gamers any more. They see walking credit cards.

Beam, I just seem to be better with it, dunno why.

HUMAN sniper cuz you always have a definite amount of shots, unlike the beam... also, the reticle is a whole lot cooler and im used to it from halo 1... lol i like it alot better

Human sniper is my favorite. I only use the beam if I can't get the human sniper.

i use the rifle because which sniper do you use in every other MM type? The only other time you use beam is in Collisum. (spelling)

Beam rifle because the reticle let's you see they're head to make sure you get a head shot.

I like both but if I had to pick one I'd pick human. I don't like how the beam overheats after two quick shots. The beam does have more shots than the human though. It's really close between the two though...I just prefer being able to shoot four shots without overheating.

Beam to start out with, then when it overheats switch to human and by the time your done with the 4 shots there the beam has cooled down. (lets hope you dont need that many shots)

"If I'm not back in five minutes... just wait longer."

Human for close range shots.

Beam for long range shots.

whichever one i find first

i used the beam first in sniping because you get 2+ shots then you switch to the human and get 4 more shots than switch back to the beam for 2+ more shots

Human sniper is better because you can go through a round as fast as you want instead of waiting for the beam rifle to cool down every 1 or 2 shots.

I find it easier to melee with the sniper than the beam, hence I use it. I don't know how to snipe at all.

As I lay in my bed at night, looking up at the stars, i wonder where the hell my roof went

every truly good player, with very few exceptions, uses human over beam. If you go into a high level sniper game, you only see human shots when someone misses with the beam or has to fight more than 1 opponent at once

i use beam because you can basically do a sniper double shot with it, you dont need to aim for the head as much. a body shot followed by another body shot is too fast for them to dodge with a beam.

I just like the crosshair on the beam rifle better, makes me feel more secure and confident in my shots, plus after using human snipe since I first played Halo 2, one day while in a snipe game with my friends, I just switched to beam rifle to mess around, and ended up doing like 500% better with it than I'd ever done with human.

I also like the sound of it overheating at the same time you take someone out :D
