Stupid question - actually, statement - you forgot a QUESTION MARK. I have a better one:

Who here has no skill, and whines and cries in order to shift his own weaknesses onto others?

Sniping is nothing short of an Art form. It takes a LOT of skill and talent -- whether with a rifle in your hand, or a Controller S - to snipe effectively. Snipers don't just waltz around Blood Gulch trying to pick off some random guy from afar, wasting 2 clips before finally scoring a frag; Snipers don't toady about (totally stole from Cortana's rant @ beginning of Two Betrayals) Sidewinder, hiding behind rocks and trees until they get a rocket up the ass - Snipers must be constantly mobile, constantly alert and aware of what's not only going on a mile away, but behind their backs and in front of their faces, too.

An effective sniper is one who can expend all his ammo, wasting 2, maybe 3 shots to one frag, and live to gather another bundle of ammo off the dumbass he just capped. An effective sniper is one who can reach out and pluck you out of a moving Warthog or Ghost. An effective sniper is one who doesn't -blam!- when he, in turn, gets a nice 14.5mm Armor-Piercing Fin-Stabilized Discarding-Sabot round through the forehead. As a matter of fact, an HONORABLE sniper WELCOMES this - it means he's got some competition.

I totally agree with you. Sniping requires superior skill, ones who hate us are ones that are jealous of our skill. I am from Vanguard Snipers clan, we havent lost a single game. Ever.

Funny. I love playing with snipers. Why? Because

1. its more of a challage (out of the very small group of people that I have played with no one can beat me)
2. I, as a sniper, can appreicate a fellow sniper's marksmanship.
3. They are snipers, not campers.
4. It adds to the realism of the game, and therefore, makes it more interesting.
5. Occasionally I might learn a new trick or three.

For all the sniper hating folks out there, just deal with it.

really i must agree with VS Shadow Wraith a real sniper you don't get a chance to dodge your never even find them and if by some reason you find them because it takes more than one shot to kill you they are gone on the other side of the map by the time you respawn. also if you try to take a van or a sled (hog or a ghost) you are pumped full of lead or a grenade up the ass. also a good snider if you mange to get close can kill you with his own pistol or plasma pistol the secondary weapons of choise. and I just want to say this only bad snipers need cammo

I agree with all you said im using this for reference

When you snipe you have to be patient and wait. also you have to do things on your own which can make it harder.
Also when a sniper kills you with a good shot its like wow he is good and i usualy compliment him because sniping in halo isnt about fragging( well it really is but its kindof something else snipers know what i mean the HONORABLE ones that is)its like a sport with a honor system and when you get killed you admire his shot and try harder.

i personally admire another sniper in halo he/she offers a bigger challenge and you could learn something from them, such as good sniping spots.

Snipers rock. My LAN parties (sixteen player) wouldn't be the same without them. Having someone covering your back when you go to get the flag is a very good feeling, and I can't count the number of times it has helped me and my team. Hoping that you won't get shot by a counter-sniper makes the game more intense, you shouldn't get pissed cause they shot you. Besides, when you respawn, unless they're smart, they didn't move, so grab your own and take them down.

I personaly enjoy fighting/killing other snipers insted of people who go trotting out in the middle of sidewinder (although it's fun to dodge rockets constantly from a distance). I respect anyone who decides to become a sniper simply because it's harder than most other jobs.

BTW: Snipers aren't campers. Stupid snipers and people with rocket launchers are campers. GO SNIPERS! May you frag hundreds more people in your days.

We all hate it when the peice of crap hides up in the hills, but it's part of the game. You're as able to do it to them as they are to you. So, props to the sniper!
