As far as I know there is no hit spot on a tank. At least I've never seen it. However if you can get some one on Wraith or Scorpion let them bash the top off. From there get to the high ground since they'll probably die. Once this occurs you can shoot down either killing the gunner before he can get back in or you can get a nice little head shot once they are back in the tank.

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

What does that have to do with Halo 1 sniping?

  • 09.08.2005 8:20 PM PDT

Watch out for S2pidi-T
What doesn't destroy you makes you stronger... For the next battle.

KOTOR
Antigravity

I don't think that it has to do with this thread. By the way, it's a nice guide. It's really helped me with sniping.

No soldier should be honored for doing what is expected
of him. He is after all, just doing his job.

Shorter and not so detailed? Then it would be a guide, it would be tips. And it wouldn't be up for over a year.

Dude, excellent guide (didn't really help me though...not to brag, but I consider myself an excellent sniper)
My technique is as follows:
1: ALWAYS go for the headshots, even if this means taking more time tracking your target. The more you do it, the easier it will be, i.e. on Live (H2) when I play team shipers at least half my kills are headshots (most of the time; i do have my bad days)
2: TAKE YOUR TIME. Relax. Nuf said
3: Move after about two or three shots (or less,even). When the people you killed respawn, they'll make a personal vendetta against you, and, sometimes, work together to kill you. Nothing pisses off a ground pounder more than to be running to cover and suddenly die from a headshot
4: Save your shots. If you run out of ammo, you'll have to abandon your position to get more.
5: Only snipe vehicles if you have a definite shot. This is especially true in Halo 1, since the vehicles are indestructible. If you fail to kill a Scorpion driver on the first shot, you're basically toast, as he/she will fire the AR at you to take you out of zoom, and finish you off with the main cannon. Ghosts are also a bad idea to shipe, especially from the front or if they're moving- unless you get a headshot, they'll rapidly close on your position and finish you off very quickly.
6: Always carry a short ranged weapon, preferably a shotgun, if at all possible. Here's a weapon's guide, ranked for effectiveness (1-5, 5 being good):
H1:
4: Sniper rifle, M6D Pistol
5: Sniper Rifle, Shotgun
3: Sniper Rifle, AR
Notice that there's no rocket launcher. This is because it is too slow to use, and is more of a medium-long range weapon, unless you're good with it up close.
H2:
3: SR, SMG
3: SR, BR (Battle rifle, takes place of M6D)
5: SR, Shotgun (this combo is always a good one to take)
5: SR, Energy Sword

Notice that there's no Covenant weapons listed. This is because this list is drawn from what works for me, and I hardly ever use Covie stuff (except Sword), unless it's Dual Weilded.
7: NEVER GIVE UP! Have fun, and keep at it.

There's my two cents. Hope it helps. BTW, I'm also on the RVB website, you can PM me there or here if you have questions. (name= Sgt_Plato)
Feel free to send me a party invite if you are ever on Live.

Hikaru: Sorry if you felt like I was trying to undermine you for the longest post of all time, or trying to take over your thread. Just got carried away a little; only trying to help.

a couple extra points

-memorize spawns (not easy to do, but it comes in handy)
-use 2x mode more often, expecially when in smaller levels
-know head height at any time (ie when in the hallway on CO coming from camo room), makes for easy head shots
-dont stop moving
-if the other team knows spawn points and has sniper, melee when respawned to avoid headshots (dont do it too often, it may develop into a bad habit and you'll end up killing teammates upon spawn)

no offence (at all), but you are completely misled and have the wrong idea on many of these weapon "combos"

for halo 1, sniper+pistol, and in h2 sniper+BR is the only way to go (or should be ranked 5), even at small places like Chillout or Lockout, if the other team knows you have a sniper+shotty or anything besides sniper+pistol(or BR) they will pistol/BR you to death 85% of the time (unless you have good cover from teammates, then the % drops a bit), you need to have your pistol/BR with you at almost all times except in rare circumstances, just my experiance from playing w/ Rx, StK, LT, NKI, GTC, etc etc
