I'm waiting to see what they're doing with the human Sniper Rifle, seen as we've seen absolutely nothing of it spare the e3 S003 demo.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but it didnt feature in Zanzibar at e3 2004 did it???

I appologise if i'm wrong about that comment, just wondered if anyone could back me up or tell me i'm wrong lol.

It was at E3 2004. Rewatch the flyby across the level. They zoom in on the sniper. "Snipe the spartans as they come over the wall" (something like that) also further backs it up although you can even see it with your own eyes.

I thought the Covenant Carbine was a sniper rifle. Then again, somewhere else I heard it was the Covenants' answer to the Battle Rifle. Either way, I don't wan't the Covenant having Sniper Rifles. In Halo, I loved using my handy little pistol to massacre a whole Covenant troop, watching them run in circles, helplessly, as their weapons bolts would dissapear before they hit me. (I am talking about the second level Halo, at the very beggining where the dropship lands near the pod, and I am across the bridge dropping the grunts like little flies. . .)

Oh, but yeah, Halo 2. I guess it would be cool to have Covenant snipers, of course, they would be no challenge for me to take out. But for the marines that totey about flailing their arms everywhere, well that is a different story. Actually they would be kinda hard to hit. . . but in reality, the Marine and Covenant AI is much better and more smart, so it might be more fair. Just thinking back to Halo when I have a Sargeant with a sniper rifle in the side passenger seat, those Covenant could have quite good sniping AI. Man, those marines with those snipers. . . Even when I was barraling around in circles they shot out and hit those covenant square in the forehead.

BUT that is the sniper rifle. I am sure there are going to be many cool guns in Halo 2 that we haven't seen, plus all the kick@ss ones we already have seen. Either way, I am bouncing off the walls for all those new guns. Can't wait to try em all out!

Whats so exciting about the battle rifle? its just a mix between an innurate AR and a crappy pistol. I like the new needlers, their actully powerful right now; they just never hit anyone because one can straife 3 inches and dodge a clip of them. But the improved speed and homing capabilities their going to be a good mid-close range weapon. Given that you dont blow yourself up...

If I could have voted for two I would have. Mine would be the two new sniper guns (Human and covie). I bet they'll be way cool! I always liked being a sniper. When I play aganist my bro and I get a sniper I shot him a lot( Unless he gets one too then it's a mater of who will have to reload first).

OXM said in one of their halo two columns that, yes the covenant carbine the covie answer to the battle rifle. Plus, since AI has been improved sniping should be more fun.

my most anticipated gun would be the energy sword. having an energy sword for close up (no one would live with that special run-up attack) and then when sniping i would use the battle rifle...alright

In reply to sniper rifles faster than light stuff.


Don't get mad if this is a little off topic, but normal real life conversations do too to stay interesting. But about the whole sniper bullets going faster than light. I do think that is scientifically impossible, the speed of light is the fastest possible speed. Now veering off the Sniper Rifle subject. . . If light speed is the fastest possible speed, and I know that the closest solar system to Earth is four light years away, then it would take four years at least to travel their. Now getting closer to the point. . . before the game Halo, The Pillar of Autumn had to escape by following the Cole protocol blah blah blah and they shot out into a random vector direction. In the book it said they where only in slipspace (presumably light speed) for only two weeks. I am not much of a scientist, but two weeks going light speed wouldn't get you very far. I don't know, but I didn't think two seperate solar systems could be so close together. Nevertheless, If this solar system was that close to Reach, don't ya reckon they might have NOTICED IT??? I solar system that close to Reach with those planets yet nobody went there. just a little thing I thought of as wierd. You can go back to talking about the new Halo 2 weapons now.

EDIT:Sorry for it being so long, but you can just skip it if you want. Anyways, something that just hit me was that the Covenant ships went faster than the Human ships. Faster than light speed? Who knows. I talk too much anyways.
That is all.
