That is somewhat the point. He's supposed to keep your group pinned while his teammates maneuver. If that isn't his purpose he should take his kill, then seek out opporunity targets for a few moments, and then flee. Sniper's should never engage in prolonged combat.
A prone individual is very vulnerable to grenades. Additionally, if he's on the far end of the map is also likely to be isolated and alone. Get to him. Ghosts are very hard to snipe now that they have boost and Halo2 is supposed to be populated with more objects to use as cover should you want to take a less risky route.
In theory that is what a sniper should do, but in reality (or in the game for this matter) EVERYONE will be sniping, so noone can even move without getting 7 bullets in the head, and then when the snipers finnaly do get a chance to get a view of the enemies spawn zone, they will just spawn camp, the game will become WAYYYYY too slow paced and wont be any fun, i want halo 2 to be face paced, so your jumping around while both teams clash with vehicles and weaponry, all the bullets and mayhem flying around, not 2 teams just proning at each end of the map trying to snipe each other...
