I didn't blow up the sun so you kids could brag about it! Now get out there and fight some aliens!

I suck with a sniper so, Hell yes!

I think the sniper shouldn't be sticky at all. It deters skill. Although, considering ODST won't have matchmaking, it would definitely help out in Firefight

Still, I'm having trouble swallowing that a sniper rifle developed (or is it the same one?) earlier than Halo 3's sniper rifle has a feature making it far more user friendly.

Its the same one, anyways, what does aim assist have anything to do at all with the weapon itself?

It means it's easier to use and takes less skill, that's all.

If you would like to know more about Mythic difficulty please go to this thread. Thank you.

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

It's fine as it is. In Campaign the only times you'll really want to use a Sniper weapon is when the Covenant aren't expecting you and you've got both height and distance working in your favour. Anyone can hit stationary targets.
As for Firefight, I don't really know. I suppose it'll depend if it's laggy with 4 players over XBL or not. Even then I think I'd rather have a Plasma Pistol and Automag for Firefight.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake.
You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.
And the Science gets done.
And you make a neat gun.
For the people who are still alive.

Sorry, but it takes skill when you have a sniper. No lock-on for noobish players. Imagine it..Having a sniper lock on...Over Kill.. Imagine multiplayer how easy it would be to get a head shot or just simply snipe someone.

The thing is, there is no multiplayer in ODST unless talking about Firefight which I think ODST would be the only game that I would want this in play.
