The sniper is a 1 his KO in a game with NO SHIELDS. It also is a 1 hit KO if you get a headshot (unless you're incredibly skilled, or the person is standing still, good luck).

Hmm... Shooting is a difficult topic to guide. I think it was pretty accurately covered in the weapons guide (see previous posts). I find that only practice can really make your shooting better, although some tips help immensely. It was a shock to me when first playing Halo online 1.5 yrs ago that you had to lead your sniper shots, and that the pistol was affected by gravity. MAN was that surprising.
Most of sniping is your ping. Depending upon that, the game responds quicker, or slower, so you'll have to adjust your lead for it. If your ping fluctuates continually like mine (stupid dorm connection...), you'll have to learn to adapt quickly, which takes FOREVER.

Thinking about making that guide,

You want hints. Look, read, listen, expirement, and eventually, you become an ok player, than a good player, than an excellent player. Me, I dont know where I would go in there. All I know is that when its BG slayer, 16 person, I have almost never lost, and I never use a vehicle. I get most of my kills with the shotgun and assault rifle. Check the net for tips, go to other forums. I probably know just as many tricks and little pieces of knowledge as everybody else.

Heyyo,

Heh, the guide's pretty good, but the pistol ain't affected by gravity. The prob is HaloPC seems to have trouble getting your aiming vectors with the pistol, so usually in order to accomodate this handicap yes you have to aim higher.. so well, I guess if thinking the pistol is affected by gravity helps? then sure, whatever helps you pwn more. ;)

Ok folks, I gotta temp site up for now until I can fix it up:

Scopean, In response, i tend to use the pistol whenever possible, the sniper rifle when prudent and available (the majority of the time in large maps), and the assault rifle/flamethrower when the sniper rifle isn't prudent/available.

(no flaming intended) Mard, its nice to have an explanation on why the pistol is affected by "gravity", but ignorance is bliss, and i would like to think that bungie did it purposefully. I guess that it just adds a skill requirement, and a some spice to the stew that is Halo PC.

(roman) Latin sucks, except for the curses,

PS Nice site Mard, and good explanation on the Netcode

I didn't think you were the weirdest person.Those links go to the my account button. I normally go on [RS], continuous boarding action sniper slayer, or other no shield games. It doesn't look like Halo 2 Zanzibar because Halo 2 has some rendering, for lack of a better term, that Halo CE cannot duplicate. It was also done by non payed fans that probably can't compete with big game makers like Bungie.

yeah for a long time, my friends and I swore that after a certain distance the pistol bullets' spin from the barrel cause the trajectory to curve (like a curveball). But after some experimentation in multiplayer, we decided that wasn't true...

so no one can figure out why there is gravity on halo?

it is because the ring is spinning. Centrifugal force causes all objects on the ring to cling to the inside of the ring, simulating gravity.

It probably has its own gravity. Its big enough.
