Playing some xbc, with Team fox like usual, we start of some CTF BG, and we're blue. Right off the bat, I grab sniper, teleport, and head up to light ledge. I hear FOX 4 say "Warthog, heading towards red portal" So i zoom 2x, take a casual shot at the warthog. Bam. Headshot. What's more amazing, is that the warthog stopped directly on top of their portal, blocking it! It was amazing. If you have any amazing stories about amazing sniping shots, post 'em here!

we were playing on blood gulch and we were doing team snipers and my team mate and i saw one person going for the the camo and when he got it he jumped now my partner was on one side of the level across from me and i was on the ledge on the left of the level at the red base. anyhow he jumped and out shots crisscrossed thru his brain spinning him in a weird counter clockwise manner. it was good.

Man, the best sniping is when you do it without any zoom at all. Like, I was at BG, and I was playing CTF. I was employing a strategy I call "Fishing", when I pop the flag outside their base and wait for some poor sucker to pick it up and I'll come out and waste him. Anyways, I was fishing and I was in there base with a sniper. I had been fishing for a while and was on a running riot, so they were getting the general idea and trying to stop me. Well, 2 guys come in behind me from the roof (Im sitting behind the corner of the front entrance to the base) and each picks up a shotgun. Anyways, they come around to where I am and I give each a clean shot to the head with the sniper (no zoom). I loved it. Since then I have become much better with unzoomed sniping, I find that practicing with a sniper rifle unzoomed is a great way to improve your overall aim.

Well this ones not multiplayer, nor is it that great (i'm not into sniping). I was playing AotCR on legendary. I was in that area underground with the bridge across the chasm. I got a headshot on a red elite across the chasm that when through his head and hit the orange spot on a hunter's back.

Hello, I'm Daryl. Nice to meet you. See you around.

I was playing on XBC when my partner (it was 1v1) decided to just do tricks. So tricks we did and one time he parked a warthog (or maybe it was a tank) next to the blue base and tried to launch off it with a Ghost. So I went up to the front of the base to watch and I zoomed in once and stood there. He launched off and was like 30 feet above the base slowly doing a backflip in the Ghost. I had shot two shots to try and hit him but missed both, then when he was fully upside down I fired a third shot and it hit him in the ear. He fell lifelessly out of the Ghost, and the Ghost also (it's a vehicle...).

Blood Gulch, 2v2. LAN. 2 t.v's.
I had my sniper/shotgun combo, and was running the right side of the map towards red base. I heard the tell-tale wurrrrr of a Warthog I x2 zoom and turn to my left.
One Impulse shot, went through the drivers head, right into the passenger's head. and the warthog stopped dead. Both of them lying on the ground beneath it.
( For the record, I could never do it again if I tried. )

I have a couple, both in campain.

The first one was in Two Betrayals. I got to the part with the massive Covie/Flood assult on teh far end of the map and you have to sooner or later steal a Banshiee. I was busy sniping hunters from the far right behind the rock when I accidently head shot one of the invisable elites that had been standing in my way. That was cool.

The second time was as cool as it was funny. My Boyfriend has this idea that he is a sniper god. So so during Halo on Legendary he whined that he should take the sniper rifle because he was a better shot and I was terrible. Well, in the end we both ending up getting rifles. We were about to find the last of the drop ships and we were sniping from the hill at the convies on the structure. Needless to say, I killed twice as many covies as he did and one point saved his ass from charing elites, since he wasted all his ammo. That shut him up. Hehe.

I have one in campaign, and one in mp.
I was playing T&R, on normal, and i had just gotten keyes. I ran back to the control room, where the inviso sword elites are, and managed to snipe both inviso elites through the head in one shot.

In multiplayer, i was playin 1v1 blood gulch. My friend was standing behind one of the battlements at blue base. i was on mt red (the hill behind red base) He starts jumping up and down and saying "nyah nyah nyah, you can't hit me" i hit him through the top of the head mid jump.

One Blood Gultch in the base with no shadows on the side (red probably) looking towards the blue base. Then a blue starts coming over below the far left path but still on the bottom of the level. I take that guy out with a pistol with no zoom while the reticle is still blue. It is funny hearing him get mad when I do that.

CTF, Blood Gulch... we're red... I get the sniper just after respawning and head for Pride rock (that's our code name for the rock to the left of red base if you're looking at blue base from red) and see the warthog with our flag going i zoom in 10x and shoot the gunner in the face, then i see the warthog start to spin around so i shoot the driver in the head. then the flag bounces to the back of the level and as i see people go for the flag, i shoot them in the head one by one, untill the flag is returned... most glorifying moment for me... i think

This isnt the most amazing, but its a bizarre one in a million thing to happen:
I was playing 4v4 on a LAN game, (4 tvs, 4 xboxs) and my team mate and I both had a sniper rifle (in blood gulch). Only that he was way over on the other end of the map, almost behind blue base, but enough to see the other side. He and I both were sniping the same person walking around in the middle of the field. Well, apparently we both shot at the same time, both got headshots to the same person, but HEADSHOT'D EACHOTHER BECAUSE WE WERE IN EACHOTHERS LINE OF SIGHT. yeah... I doubt that would ever happen to me again. but wow.. just wow

Well, one time on Blood Gulch, I was just playing a little one on one online with my friend. The lag was decent so I thought sniping was almost out of the question... except for the server, which he was. Anyway, I took a ghost out of blue base and was going to head over to the red side, when out of the blue as I was cresting the gulley where the teleporters are, I was shot out of my ride. It was the single most lucky shot of my friend's life... To this day that just strikes me as the most cheap shot anyone ever took at me... well, other than all the jackal fighting my other friend does to me on longest (ultimate grudge match for us).

I was playing HALO on legendary. When three elites came out of a boarding ship. I head shot the first and it went through him and hit the other two in the head and killed a grunt in back of them too. I guess you could say that i have alot of skills

On multiplayer.

A guy had spotted me in a tank, for some reason he figured it would have better chances of survival he he gets out of the tank and hides behind it until further reinforcements came. To his unfortunate luck, im a pretty damn good sniper... Just as he was getting out (you know during the camera change from a 3rd person veiw to a 1st) I shot him right in the noggin, LOL, he didnt had a chance to look around!

On multiPlayer

You know that little cliff near the blue base? I was standing there with a sniper rifle waiting for my first victim to appear. AT the other extreme of the map, that is the red base, there were two guys nuking it out. I could barely see the action with my sniper.. and out of nothing I gva eit a shot... to my surprise I gave the final blow to the enemy Spartan!! i was amazed out of my mind the incredible range and lucky accuracy i had!

Single flag CTF blood gulch. 9 all (first to 10) this would be there last assult before it was our turn to assult but from my little vantage ledge i see that they have broken through our defenses i watch with horror as the flag man leaps out from the back of his warthog runs up the ramp of the base jumps heading straight for our flag base, just as his chest disappears into the base i make one last ditch shot... straight into his head, the annoying man who lives inside your xbox announces its red teams turn to attack we score first time with a quick attack and we won 10:9, Marvelous

I was at a 3v4 LAN last night, we were playing BG CTF, and one of my teammates with the SR saw a ghost coming off the ridge that runs alongside the edge of the canyon (the one that's not in shadow). Anyways, it was jumping off the ledge, and he shot the driver in the head in mid-fall.

By the way, that game lasted 5-1/2 hours (the longest I've ever played), my team (the one with 3) won 15-13.

xbox live for halo. Anyways, the best shot I had, was one left in the chamber, (last bullet), and two guys are right in front of each other, running straight at me. I had camo, so they didn't know where I was at. Also, there was no radar. This was for the game winne. I took one shot, and it killed them both. Double kill, and game winner.

On Side winder I shot a rocket from one side of the map and my cousin just backed(WArthog) out from a bottom of the cliff and ran into the rocket onm the other side of the map. It was like a one in a million shot.
