I was discussing this topic with someone I was doing a one vs one with. We had played a match before an I had won but this time we were on asscention (big spiral satelite in the middle) and he was owning me with the sniper rifle. In the sniper tower he had both rifles covered and before I could get anywhere he would kill me. I was thinking at that time, Is there a counter to the rifle? Is it balanced? Well, the score was 8 - 2 so in my opinion there isint. To balance the sniper, the battle rifle should be able to have a 2x and 5x zoom and everyone should spawn with it on asscention. The SMG just dosent have the range nor the power to counter the sniper on such a big 1v1 map. I hope that some other people out in XBL land feel the same way. I was just hoping to get some feed back on it and see if other people agree with me. Mabey we could get Bungie to make it downloadable in content to solve this tiny issue.

The current BR is fine. We need to spawn with Generics (SMG and BR)

I find the sniper is also fine.

Sniper rifles can never be to powerful, but Halo 2 topics in New Mombasa.
