Subject: H2 Sniper Rifle

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, since we know it's going to kick after each round forcing you to re-aim it, thus making it a more balanced and harder to use weapon, why not just make it a bolt-action single shot rifle with a 10 or 12 round clip? This way, it kicks, and you have to eject the spend casing and slam home another round into the chamber before you re-aim. This will FORCE you to go for Head Shots, and I think would be really sweet. Comments?

Well bolt action allows for a MUCH bigger round so it wold probably be one hit ko

Keep the weapon as is. Maybe have a little kick, but if my visor (that's what he looks through people) goes out of zoom every time I fire I will be pissed off. Also no bolt action. By 2552 semiauotmatics will be just as accurate as bolt actions.

I agree

Well, it's firing 14.5mm rounds as is, I'm not sure you want to go higher. Cause then it'll be a newb gun ot like the Magnum Sniper in CounterStrike. I say though, leave the strength of it as is, just make it a larger clip, bolt-action, more powerful scope, and better accuracy. I'll compensate RPM, Rounds per Minute, to get those.

Why would the UNSC get rid of a good thing? Honeestly now. The gun is no newb stick. I've seen newbs shoot entire clips without hitting a damn thing. The gun requires some skill. Making it a bolt action weapon would just alienate the sniper from the Halo universe.

True, yet part of me wants to get the feel from other games that make the sniper a great thing to master due to it's single shot. And also, let's not get into a discussion about weapons of 2552, they're still using projectiles... I know it's a game, but, in my experience I have seen many a newb pick it up and attempt to use it. Not saying they get kills, just that they will even attempt, and waste round after round. Sorta angers me a little. Maybe I got issues if I get mad at something like that but... that's just me.

i havent heard of this either, but it sounds like a bad idea, cuz with the shields on and full health (my friends are babies), head shots dont kill.

Bungie has said that, (along with magazines who have played MP at E3), that the reticle is different, and that there is a kick after each shot cause of the recoil so you need to re-aim perhaps not re-zoom, just re-aim so your shot goes to the same place as your last thus forcing you to go for head shots now more so.

Um, not sure what you're talking about. Headshots with a Sniper kill in one shot, no matter the oversheild. Or am I wrong? Someone else wanna field this one.

Full Health and 100% sheilds should not matter. If you shot the head it's a one-shot kill. Test it out in MP if you don't believe me.

With an Overshield you can survive a single headshot. Otherwise without an overshield you die.

i usually play with sheilds off, but when we had a link party they had shields on, and i couldve sworn i shot them in the head many times and have them live on each occasion. i might be wrong.

My group always insists having shields on and it takes only one direct headshot to make an instant kill. Only exception, as I have said before, is when you have an overshield.

Theres a difference between headshots and FOREheadshots, foreheadshots are one shot, one kill.

I think that they should get rid of the entrails because its unrealistic to me. The magnum rifle in real life leaves a ripple efect in the air but not an entrail. Its also distracting to me as a sniper to shoot with it. Throws off my leading skills

I never said the new one is bolt action, I only said it has a different reticle and has a small kick. And I am LOOKING for where it says in an article, otherwise ask other people on this site and they will back me up as well. Can someone help me find the article?
