I think now in halo 2 instead of sniping being easy like in halo 2 i think that in halo 2 you shouldnt be able to move when your zoomed in. since its a 2 handed heavy weopen. that doesnt go for the battle rifle any on else agree?

No, no way in the world would that be a good idea because if that was to take place the Sniper Rifle would be as good as a Plasma Pistol.

in my personal opinion running while scopped in should be about as accurate as trying to shoot a moving target from the passenger seat of a vehicle. But that's just me. I think that would really balance out any weapons that may be 3 hit headshot kills like the pistol in halo:CE

1 shot for the head is a must. Other wise you it woud take out the fun of shooting them. You might as well say that it would take 2 rockets to kill someone.

MC is strong. MC is very skilled. It is only logical that he can move and snipe at the same time. There is nothing overpowered about the Sniper Rifle, it takes true skill to be able to use it in a close range situation. It takes true skill to be able to headshot while moving.

I understand it's just that I have mastered moving and shooting at the same time. I can multitask.

So what is the problem here? You have achieved a skill that the average player usually cannot use. Congratulations, you just became a better sniper...

Just leave the sniper the way it is, it's perfect the way it is.

Keep it the way it is.
I got/get most of my sinper kills by moving when in zoom.
But recoil would be a good idea for the sinper.

How about you can only walk with the sniper zoomed but the closer you zoom the slower you are. full zoom is walk, x2 (or what ever it is) a little slower... good or good?

1. To be anywhere accuracte they should make it that you are required to move at walking speed or less.

2. The rate of fire be toned down to 1/2 to 2/3 (possible even 1/3) it's speed (which I heard is going to happen)

When I first started sniping in what I believe is the first FPS to have sniper rifles, it was seriously a major pain in the ass to use them, but once you learned how... They were just as good to use as they are now, the only difference is the fact you needed "Skill" to use that one... That's why I want the sniper rifle to be like Halo 2, a serious pain in the ass to use but once you get the hang of it it's a walk in the park...

If your going to make a comeback, please put some effort into it next time... I don't need sarcastic remarks, they're not for good arguements at least....

OK. I see your point about arguments General Fox. It's just that you don't truly believe that Halo was the first FPS to have a sniper rifle in it do you?
