Leading.
It'll help, but it's extremely difficult when someone is far away or moving at a high speed.
If the person is in combat with a a member of your team, just go for a body shot. At the very least it'll take half of their overall health(including shields) and allow your team to finish them off. Or if they are already almost finished, it may kill them. It still tips the scales.
Another technique involves sweeping an area, and if you fire precisely when the reticule is red, and you sweep fast enough, you'll always hit them. The problem is, it's technically cheating, and it kinda ruins the fun of the kill.
I prefer leading. And although it's hard, takes patients, and takes time to learn and get better at, it's the best way to snipe anything that's moving without taking advantage of the game's anti-lag programming.
I'd normally recommend you play Team Snipers and just camp a lot, and practice. But Team Snipers uses a crappy playlist of small maps, meaning the art of short range sniping is all the skill you'll get, which really only comes in handy if you have a crappy weapon and someone comes in close range of you. And even then, the "skill" of close range sniping is just sweeping the area and trying to hit someone 10 feet in front of you, which really removes the point of "sniping".
Just remember, "One Shot, One Kill" but if you must you can do two body shots. It's extremely easy in Halo 2, and if you get the Covenant's energy sniper, you can do it twice in a row with no delay, if you don't mind the weapon overheating and taking you out of zoom.
