is the sniper rifle going to be upgraded for halo 2?
i think there should be more rounds in each clip...like 8 clips of 10 and they should remove the streak left behind after discharge. what do u think?

I disagree, they shouldnt make it to powerfull, I like the four shot clip... its easy to use and the streak shouldnt matter, cause if you a good sniper, you should kill in 1 maybe 2 shots

If anything, it should be toned down a wee bit... Maybe make it you cannot fire it accurately if your moving to fast...?

I think they should leave it how it is...

EDIT: 40x would be impossible to even control.

The extra ammo seems nice but sometimes when your up against a kick ass sniper the little streak they leave behind is your only shot a t finding them and turning things around.

I FULLY AGREE WITH A GOOD SNIPER also a good sniper rife should be able to change into a fully auto smg

Well depending on the map, you might need the new zoom.

I'd like to see some jitter in the scope if you're running or have recently come to a stop.

I want a realistic sniper experience. Halo Sniping doesn't involve half the skill that I've developed in other games.

the streak should go away, even if you kill in one hit, then they know where you are for when they respawn in multiplayer

The sniper round should go faster, if you ever played on Halo PC you have to fire in front of the person, they should keep the streak but make it quieter. And if you want a sniper thing with no streak, just use battle rifle.

It's called balancing people, if it had no streaks then it would be impossible to know where he is. It can't be the ultimate unstoppable gun that everyone wants, it just doesn't work that way.

Well technically.....
None the less, the streak doesn't bug me as much as the fact that this sniper rifle is so bloody loud.

I think its fine the way it is, it would be too cheap without the streak

Tell you the trueth, I'd rather have 1 or 2 shots only per reload.. The sniper rifle is way to easy to use in Halo 2, I want it to be like Wolfenstein has theirs... If you move to fast you lose the scope and the accuracy is lowered... (Don't give me, well master cheif is super strong crap.... Balancing is far more important then following the storyline)

I don't want to feel like an amature when I snipe in Halo 2... I want an actual challenge..

If they do anything with the streak left by the bullet, they should make it less noticable... But still there...

In QuakeWorld Team Fortress (the first FPS I think to use sniper rifles), sniping was a skill and a pain in the ass to use... When your an HPB and better then 90% of the LPB's at sniping you know there is some skill involved in there... I want to have the same feeling when sniping in Halo 2... Except HPB's won't exsist anymore since 56k is not allowed on xbox live...

I agree with General Fox. I feel like such a cheat when I use the Sniper Rifle because the weapon is so baby-ed. The thing is just so stable even at a full out run that it's just embarassing to call yourself a Sniper using it.

the streak isn't suppose to bug you or be an annoyance, its there to show the person or team that getting shot at where the sniper is so that you can defend your self by going to kill the sniper. I don't know aobut you but it's damn annoying playing halo and getting sniped with the pistol and having no idea where its coming from, even if you do figure out where it's coming from you die before you can react. this will be multiplyed by like 3 for the sniper rifle seeing as how its one or two hit kills. like somone already said, its all about balance. if you took away the streak you might as well make the gun have no sound and kill one shot no matter where you hit because you're boned either way.

You guys are all talking multiplayer, but in campaign you want much more power and no streak. I think they should have a different on for single player. Besides if you die from sniper fire you can see where he came from and then when you respawn you can get some revenge

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Ok, one... you need the streak, the loud noise and DEFENAITALY the 4 round clip. Cause I know people who get Killtacular's in one clip. All head shots... now... if they had more ammo... they'd be even deadlier and w/o the sound and streak you wouldn't know where they are. It allows balance. Oh and speaking of running with it and it being still a perfect scope... I would agree that it should at the very least wobble a little and you shouldn't be able to go as fast as you normally would..

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.


Behold the power of the Originals, the Gods Axeone-Neurone.

The contrail is also realistic. The sniper round is traveling at mach 9. At that speed it would super heat the air around it and cause a plasma trail similar to a fighter jet.

Meaning... people for the most part rely on the streak left after a sniper round is fired to find the sniper. Well.... -blam!- snipers who stay in one spot can be found that way.... good snipers move around constantly.... excellent snipers.... well... they do everything and anything they want cause they can take down enemies point blank range.... LoL
