Subject: Stop the snipers

Einstein
Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.

I heard somewhere that in halo 2 when you shoot the sniper rifle theirs recoil when the gun kicks up in the air and then comes back to the center point. That will make it more challenging to sniper it wont be 4 shots in a row, there will be a delay.

my two cents

Where the heck did you hear that? Bungie never said that and I can't remember any article saying that.

Hikaru, i am not gonna argue with you coz the most we have played against is 8... we won but they were only 1 flag behind... i'm just wondering, so did your team win a 15 flag CTF against 12? coz if you did that's crazy... honestly, they were little kids huh? and they obviously weren't even 1/4 as good your weakest player. oh and hikaru... where are you from? state and city that is...

and one more thing: everyone says they are the best in HALO.. i love showing up to a party, or my roommates bring some friends over that i dont know and they see me playing HALO and they start talking about how they are the best in HALO... and then i whoop em 25 - 4... i love it...

snipers are a part of any game, look at counter-strike, people complain about the AWP but as lots of ppl have said, to beat a skilled sniper, you need to be skillled too.

Subnova in their E3 2004 impressions of the multiplayer said that after you shoot forcing the gun to kick making you have to readjust your aim making headshot all the more important thus there will be less camping n00bs that spray and pray with the sniper rifle

i think that you should shrink the sniper magazine to one bullet so that only whit a clear shot 100%hit it works.then they will move over to another place after one shot so you don't get a game full of snipers.

As much as I hate being sniped...Sniper camping is PERFECTLY acceptable. Whats everyones problem. I never snipe I prefer to run people over and gun people down but I still dont complain when I get sniped.

The sniper rifle isn't of the most overpowered I've seen in FPS history, but I would like them to add a few things to make it more or less a weapon that requires mucho skill to use...

1. Moving to fast makes it hellive crappy accuracy... (I know spartans wouldn't have this issue, but balancement is more important then sticking to the storyline). I'd say somewhere around the speed Wolfenstein for XBox did it... (It would also give the duck more of a purpose)

2. Make the rate of fire like 1/2 to 2/3 of what it is in Halo: Combat Evolved...

An army of sheep led by a lion would defeat an army of lions led by a sheep.

Actions speak louder than words. Anyone ever heard that saying before?

if you have read subnova's halo 2 impressions then you would know that the sniper rifle will kick after each shot so you wont be able to fire four round at the same place thus making it harder to use and thus less n00b camping only the real men would be l33t enuff

I'm just stating that I wanted it like that, because I grew up in sniping in the origional Team Fortress (not the easy sniping in TFC), and it was an actual challenge in it... It wasn't a crappy gun once you learned how to use it, but it wasn't easy either...
