Subnova said that the rifles kicks up after each shot and i'm fine with that. In Halo 1 you could fire off four consecutive shots and hit the same spot now in Halo 2 I see the sniper being more like the sniper rifle in Return to Castle Wolfenstein a weapon only the Elite players could wield effectivly.

the sniper recoil kick will defintly stop those crappy newbie snipers who 'rapid' fire the sniper rifle only hitting their target once

I sorta take offence to that though I do not rapid fire. you should be able to toggle the recoil

If you dont rapid fire why would you take offence? And I am so happy with the changes to the sniper rifle imo RtCW had the best sniping ever but it was balanced this is how I see Halo 2 being like

I think that the sniper rifle should be left the way it is. It encourages people not to stay in one place and to keep moving. I hope headshots stay one hit kills. Keeping it this way encourages people to move and not to stay in one place or camp with the tank.

Contrails should be left in

i think sniping encourages u 2 stay still insted of moving, because when ur moving u r easier to spot and u still die even when u try running.


also everyone who is going for harder to use interfaces with kick and stuff remember that MC is a super soldier and can hold the sniper rifle perfectly still. if it kicks when the MC is holding it just think of what would happen when the poor weak ODST's try to use it. probably would do a back flip or something.

I hope that the covies sniper rifle is som kinda of laser thing beacouse plasma travels too slow and u can see it quiet well, thats why i think the covies carbine won't work so well.traveling speed has to be instant so u can call it sniper but i think it will be well in halo 2.
Or if it is plasma thing it has to have homing ammos but then it would be kinda of stupid and it wouldn't be a sniper.

they should make it louder too. so u can accutally tell where people are this time, like the awp :P. they should take away the smoke trail too, thats kinda annoying.

The only time someone notices a contrail to find a Sniper is when the sniper misses
