Same thing with the Rocket Launcher, you can spray him with bullets to take him out of his scope. But since everyone is so good at no scoping now, the Sniper is a Done DL. You're dead.

Sorry, but I disagree with you guys.

The sniper takes more skill than the rockets to kill in one shot.

It was sad. Today I got the rockets, got four kills every time, and each was a direct hit (not the ground right beneath them), trust me. Sniper has its own playlist because it takes more skill and is challenging.
Rockets don't...I wonder why?

Why in the hell would you BXR someone with rockets? That wasn't a very good example....

usually i would get about 3 kills per clip in sniping

Well today I got the sniper and got 12 Kills everytime, compared to your 4 kills with the rockets. Each was an easy head shot (Not a body shot on their body), trust me. The only reason rockets dont have their own playlist is because host is too dominant with rockets.
Why in the hell would you BXR someone in the first place? That's cheating and gives you an unfair advantage!

You sir, must be a magnificent sniper! I've never gotten 12 Kills with 12 Bullets! I usually shoot twice, even if I get a headshot, I get screwed over alot if I don't usually. Haha.

Sniper rifles do require skill to use. If they didn't I wouldn't suck at it. Well, maybe not suck (actually yes). Maybe barely mediocre (nope, nope, still suck).

The rockets however, even I can get a significant number of kills against players I know for a fact can kick my ass. Of course, I've played a whopping 16 games in Team Sniper. And my played/win record of 16:9 in no way reflects how poor I really am. I've been playing with people who are excellent with the things and have seriously bloated my stats in that area.

I am getting better though. It now only takes me two hits to kill somebody whereas before I would threaten a reload. No kidding.

RIP Halo 2.

Not a big sniper fan myself. I'm at best an inconsistent sniper. The only exception to this on on larger maps when sniping at reasonable distances. This gives me the advantage of carefully lining up shots without the stress of facing imminent death if I screw up. From there I can snipe pretty well like most people should be able to.

DL, you are being very block headed.

Are you everyone?

No. So your story cannot be compared with others.
Surprised to hear your get 12 kills everytime.

I'd love to see a game with this.

Well my skill meter overflows everytime I use a rocket and depletes everytime I use a sniper rifle.

My last thread: Why Reach Sucks

Done DL, stop picking on these kids and using your skill to reinforce your argument, you silly goose. The rockets, because of their heavy splash are a much more potent and simple weapon than the sniper rifle. A rocket launcher, launches a lethal explosive towards an opponent that will kill them if it makes contact with anything within the player's viscinity. A sniper, to perform the same 1 shot kill, must penetrate a target of a much smaller scale. Thuse creating a greater nescesity of precision. I'm going to leave that argument where it is, and hope that you understand from past posts of mine that I am far from a noob, and know full well all the advantages and disadvantages in either weapon. And as we both know, hopefully, that'd we'd rather be holding a rocket launcher (on most maps) than a sniper rifle.

P.S. sniper is my favorite weapon.

Done DL, are you saying that if a legit 8 had a sniper, and a legit 18 had a Rocket Launcher, it would be a close battle?

oh and to stay on topic, from this kid's idea of a pro sniper, i think im on the brink of being a "pro" sniper, considering i beat strongside in rumble snipes in the h2c, and got my 27 in h2c in rumble snipes against some hefty competetion... and outplay people who are currently 37's-ish in snipers. i dunno, maybe i just like inflating my e--blam!- into an e-rection, but i'd say on occasion i've been know to land a headshot or 2.

Of course it won't be a close battle, the skill-less sniper would win.

Rocket Guy shoots the rocket
Sniper Zooms in
Sniper receives a message and checks his friends list
Sniper sends a party invite to another player
Sniper headshots the Rocket Guy from across 1,000 feet
Rocket Guy Dies
Sniper side steps as the rocket buzzes by him.

That's how much skill it takes to use the sniper.

Well I beat StrongSide in H2C in a lockout ffa. And we all know that Lockout FFAs prove the most skill.

Posting this only because I'm an unbearable know-it-all.

Done DL, dude. Since the body comprises everything from head to toe, then EVERY shot to the body would be a body shot. I believe you meant torso or mid-section.

Yeah, I know, I'm a prick.

Yes, but that's only if you want to get technical with it. In general when someone says body shot, they generally mean non headshot.

No one has gotten a message from Disembodied Soul?

What the hell...double posting and the naughty word.

You know what? I don't even care. I doesn't bother me in the slightest....
I still think he's got it out for me though.
