Snipers are newbie gun , because during battle, they keep shooting me while I
cant shoot them back with my pistol,because my pistol cant shoot far like snipers do

omg... the sniper rifle is not a newbie weapon... it actually takes a good deal of time perfecting your skill with it...

Oh and on the subject on you not being able to shoot them back... the sniper rifle is meant for long range, while the pistol is more for medium range assaults (but it can be used long range quite easily...)

i have killed many of my friends from long range when i had a pistol and they had a sniper rifle... it all depends on weither your suck or not...

I am specialist at sniping. At the Halo PC trial I was in the Boold Guillch(whatever) cave and I was taking off 5-6 enemies per minute.
One newbie took the sniper rifle and started to shoot me from the enemy base while I was shooting other enemies. I killed him all the four times he took the sniper rifle.
Is sniper rifles for newbies?
I don't think so...

indeed!

sniping takes skill. its the newbies that have to be CHEAP and look at your screen! there's nothing quite like dropping someonw from half-way across the map. plus, there are other guns that can counter a sniper. i.e. the rocket launcher or a nade. just send a rocket or get a lucky throw on an unsuspectin sniper, and boom! no more big holes in your head.

There are 10 kinds of people in the world: those who know binary, and those who don't.

i have to agree that...that this is the weirdest and stupidest post on here. ur opinions on how newbie-ish a weapoin the sniper is are your own, even if many people think they are wrong. its true, the easiest way for a newb to get kills is with a bit of time witht he sniper rifle. but...obviously ur a newb too, if u cant manage to avoid a newb with his sniper long enough to getin range with a pistol. when i get newbs sniping me, i just melee them in the back, or get real close, watch them looking for me, yell BOO!, punch them in the face, and then run away while they're all panicked(no it doesnt kill them, but u should hear the way they scream)
so yea the sniper rifle is for newbies. but it is also for experts. and if u r an expert, snipers, especially newb snipers, should not affect u in the slightest. sorry, my firend, but it would appear that YOU are the newb, not ur supposed newbish sniper.

It requires skill, sniping is an art, if you don't like it tough, cuz on LIVE I am gonna own you with the sniper rifle.

I will own with all weapons. Except the Rocket Launcher. I have a bad happit of using it at close range.

byt eh way, screen sheating isnt cheap, its a skill, just like anything else. when ur playing split screen, learn to use it. when ur doin link games, learn to live without it, and when u've got teammates on the same tv, use it for recon. its a hell of an advantage to have. and its only called screen cheating by those who cant do it, everyone else, just takes it for granted as a part of the game, so just get used to it.

ps. of course he keeps shooting at u in battle with a really powerful and long range gun when ur so far away that u cant shoot back. dumb. ass. thats sorta the point, isnt it? to snipe is to kill something far away with a good shot so that they cant fight back. and by the way, because you apparently dont kno, in multiplayer halo, you are suposed to keep shooting at the other team, if nothing else then especially when they cant shoot back. This is called the objective of the game, and doing it makes you win. i dont kno if u understand all that, but i'm sure with some work u'll get used to the concept.

HEY! NONE OF THE weapons are newbie weapons,all the weapons are good balanced and i can use them all,anyway im calling me Rush Viking over the net when im playing Halo PC,so come there and see what i mean!
Have someone noticed that the scope on the sniper rifle on the xbox version have a 2x and a 10x zoom? ,on PC they have changed it to 2x and 8x zoom, i think that's fit better.

Dude, why can't you check your grammar before you post? Your topic doesn't even make sense.

Lol, yeah seriously, I'll think I'd do the same thing. Just make a list of all these people's gamertags then when Halo 2 comes out, hunt them down and bestow some ownage upon them. Mainly the idiots like this guy who make useless threads of spam.

What you say about weapon balance is totally unture, and especially to what who ever started this dumb post, the pistol is a newbie (aren't you not allowed to say that here anymore) weapon if there ever was one, it can kill in a few shots, and can out snipe the sniper rifle at moderately long range. Thats one thing I think bungie messed up on, the pistol is unrealisticly accurate and has too long a range, and the AR is unrealisticly inaccurate and has too little range. Oh and yeah, the sniper rifle isn't a newbie weapon because they suck with it, I think you should more say you just don't like people who are good with it, because you don't know how to avoid it.
