I am hoping for this. It can be argued that we saw the sniper rifle in the cutscene and it looks the same, but COME ON you REALLY think that they are going to show the actual start of the game? NO way! anyway on the bungie day podcast they stated that Nathan Fillion was playing the training and did we see a training in the vid? I DON'T think so. yes i know that Joe Staten said that this is exactly the way the game starts, but lies guys. Anyway what I'm saying is that bungie probly already has put this exact thing into the game, just they're not ready to reveal anything about it yet, and from the post above with the 50 cal suppression it DOES look like you can infact pull it off.

Life is not a journey to the grave, with the intension of arriving safely.

Whether or not i can be done in real life isnt very relevant. It wont be done in the game for ballancing reasons. it would make the game considerably easier if it was in there, and i dont think thats a good thing.

are the silencers that useful in the game? in the trailers i didnt see stealth kills as such... so is it just a gimmick? that actualy a question, im not just making a point lol

in the podcasts they said that they had to change a few things in the game for the e3 demos, possibly so that they could show off how different it is to fight in ODST

ITS 500 YEARS IN THE FUTURE! Jesus i think they are going to find a way to silence a sniper rifle


have you SEEN a .50 cal bullet? or seen the damage it does to objects? there is no way you could silence a .50 cal sniper rifle, even 500 years in the future. I mean, does the fact that it can pierce a spartans shields AND armor in one bullet mean anything to you? besides, the sniper rifle is about the size of an ODST already; with a silencer good enough to supress the sound of a .50 cal bullet firing on the end of it? it would look ridiculous.

I could only imagine a silenced sniper if they made a completely new gun that is less powerful, smaller, and silenced. and besides, both of the silenced guns we are going to get have scopes, practically making them sniper rifles anyway.

Freedom has two parts: potential and resolution; as metaphors have two parts : form and interpretation; of course, the two are intertwined. Metaphor lines the road to freedom, as symbols and words are the bricks and mortar of meaning. Freedom being the briocoleus, the mason.

Who said there won't be a silenced sniper? You never know.

And who says it has to be a .50 cal? .50 sniper rifles are not meant to take out personnel, they are for vehicles. And even then its already been proven that you can silence a .50 caliber sniper rifle.
