Will there be more than just the pistol and sniper rifle as sniping weapons in Halo 2?
The most recent weekly update might be suggesting that there will be more than just the human sniper rifle in Halo 2:
[* The damage handling code now pushes around the cause of the damage (i.e. what weapon it came from, what vehicle you were hit by, which sniping weapon you were just headshot with)]
The article can be accessed at: http://beta4.subnova.com/forum/?pid=20040604.224357
Can somebody clarify this?

There is no scope on the pistol anymore. But you can snipe with the Battle Rifle, the Covie Carbine, the Sniper, and the Covie Sniper. No others have been announced yet.

I hope make sniping harder. I know this guy, w/ the sr, he can pin down a whole base on ctf. He just sits there guarding the respawn areas with his sniper, no one can get any weapon to take him out.

[color=yellow]I dont get why the pistol had a scope because they didnt add a scope on it. Its weird. But it will still be fun. I think my favorite gun will be the battle rifle.[/color]

Sounds a lot like me. Except i'd be able to take me out.

Oh, and the original pistol did have a scope, it was really small at the end of the Barrel. You can see it if you look in the manual. THeres the gas chmaber, the barrel on top of that, then the lil scope.

no scope on the pistol? that chaps my butt. three shot kills are my forte. i guess the other scope weapons will make up for it though.

Why settle with three shots? How about one shot with the sniper rifle! That's my triple forte.
