Just wondering, cuz a lot of us claim to be really good at Halo...this poll is intended for snipers, but all Halo players boast about your best kills, awesome feats, or crazy legendary skills!

My best one....I think it's probably been done more than I think, but I'm happy with it.......is where I was on the blue base at bloodgulch, and someone was driving the ghost up the hill to get to the sniper spot behind the rocks, and I got him in his ghost going up the hill from acrossed the level...it may not be 'that cool'...but it was the last kill of the game and we were tied 14 to 14.... : )

I normally miss the first two shots, which makes them panic enough for shot three which normally lodges itself in the cerebral cortex.

I dont shoot with a Sniper unless i can hit em in the head. My best thing i did was i was red in Blood Gulch in a 8v8 Match with friends. And the Blue team was camping inside there base for the flag and 2 sniper were on top. I went through the portal, shot the 2 snipers, ran up threw a grenade inside and went jumped down with a shotgun and killed all 8 of em. Of course i got killed when they respawned but it was a moment of triumph :)

1 unless shields are put on higher percentages...


I usual go for body shots/headshots only... I've been sniping and found easy ways to get what I'm trying to go for... I'm a bit rusty then when I was origionally (QuakeWorld Team Fortress), but I find myself better then the average Sniper at least in most games I play online...

I personally go for body/head shots... Body Shots if I want to get more hits more often then head... (since the body is a bigger target then the persons head), but I'm not one that will conserve his ammo... I find that you have a more likely chance of dieing if you do...

Snipers also make good scouts as well... Informing your team how what/how many are coming very much benefits your team =]

I am more of a counter sniper... can only hit a head shot when the target is sniping.

If I feel the need to snipe on a non-sniper, I aim center mass and fire twice.
If I miss I move on... because that is how I find my targets when on counter.

But, I do leave the damn thing alone if I have a good sniper on my team!
I hate it when I go for a weapon that everyone on my team knows I am best,
or better, with and it is gone!

You can loose a good game that way...

I've done the entire game, legendary, human weapons only(not including vehicles), saved all but ten marines, no revert to saves, and all of that in less than 16 hours. No deaths.

I'm good, in my opinion, a freaking monster, in several others' opinions. I go for headshots and usually hit my mark. I generally stalk my targets and am constantly on the move. When I see a threat I analyse it in a second and go from there. If I feel using a bullet is in order, I do it. If I feel it is a waste I find my next target. But don't assume I am always a sniper. i do very well in every other field as well. Especially martyr. heck let me tell yuo people a great CTF story.

Two weeks ago I was playing an all sniper CTF match, 3 captures to win, Blood Glutch, no vehicles, 100% shields. I was coming up on the hill near blue base when two red guys show up. I engage and kill them both. While I am doing this tango of smacking and shooting four other snipers see mee from the opposite side of the map and start shooting. All their shots are misses. After dispensing of the two that gave me the most trouble I whip out my SRS99C S2 AM and pull the trigger four times. Resulting in 4 head shots.

If I had the equipment to post this on the internet, considering I recorded this match, I would. But I don't. That is how goo I am.

Blame it on playing for three months straight trying to get vengeance on an old friend of mine. He was the one that got me hooked and now he regrets it with a passion.

My best kill was LAN. I threw a nade under my friends warthog. It flipped and he jumped out, so I snipped him in the head in mid air.

Once again...this statement holds true, especially in Halo: "There is always someone better than you no matter what".....Hikaru, have you found your challenge?

MY best are:

Instinctive shots, I've shot in places I didn't know people where there and I've gotten a lot of kills from it.

5 to 10 kills per shot, I've gotten a few large ones before in other games

In a regular TFC map, I was sniping at a person, I ducked the instant before he shot then stood up again getting a headshot.

Shoot and killed people falling out of destroyed air units in C&C renegade

Killed 4 people in a row within 15 seconds with the AWP in the xbox version of counter strike

I've shot many people that have "launched" themselfs into the air on various Sniper Maps in the origional Team Fortress... (and I mean high and very fast, not easy shots)

Don't worry. I'm not one to get upset over a silly...take that back, an awesome game. I have no reason to hunt you down or any one else. I generally try not to keep a grudge. And if someone is better then me, then I know I must go back into training.

That's good, i guess...in a kind of scary way...good for you though! You could play Halo as a full-time job in other words, haha, seems like it anyway.

In a LAN game I'm one of the best sinpers in may area. But there's just too much shooting lag on xbc, and I can't hit the broad side of a barn on it. I like playing at a friends house more anyway.
