Sniping is an essential part of the game. Although I prefer the pistol (HAHAHA), snipers are needed on a team, and very useful.

Snipers are awesome. But... They are way to easy to use.

Sniper over here too!

you cant hate someone because they snipe, and if you do it means your crap!

I prefer to have sniping battles with snipers far better than me, much better a challenge and it makes me harder by learning from mistakes and using the skills they use for the future!

As long as they don't camp or spawn kill, they're fine by me.

Snipers are great, although if you have too many in any one game it gets rather monotonous. It really just boils down to a 'sniper battle' which is really just trying to find the other guy before he finds you.

No one else here thinks that the sniper rifle is easy to use in Halo? Don't get me wrong, I love it. My name is Madsniper, but the fact that you can be running full speed, looking through a 10x scope, and put four shots in the exact same place is to easy. I change roles completely in other games like Ghost Recon. I spend half of a match creeping around to get into a tactical position and stay still and prone. In Halo, I run around like a mad man getting headshot after headshot.

I love snipers, There are two snipers in my group of friends and we get a fair bit of stick because we dont fight "properly" but they dont complain when they are running back with the flag getting punded by the enemy and I start putting down covering fire!

i honestly don't mind the snipers in Halo cuz they always leave a "shot-trail" so you will have an idea where the shot will be next time

I'm sorry to tell you this but if the person firing the sniper rifle has any skill you won't live to see the "shot trail". I like snipers.

Snipers and sniping are both cool, because sniping keeps you away from DIRECT danger and snipers present the unique challenge of avoiding head shots, closing the distance and slaying them. Try the stagger approach to avoid them


For the uninitated the stagger approach means running, stoping, and then running again (repeat), it's effective because the opponant expects you to run and is turning to follow your movement and then is thrown off by your stop, it can be ineffective if they can gauge how often you stop and have the target reticule there to hit you, but if you change your running distance between your stagger then you should be fine

I'm sorry i dont like snipers-the kind that find a spot stay there and wont press a button till your in their sights.On sidewinder my friend-a complete sniper-stayed in the one place. We had a 20 minute standoff cos i couldnt go round to get him-id die- and he wouldnt move to get me. Finally i used several teleports(btw i dont know the layout of the maps well) and i got back around to get up where he was and kiled him. Its hilarious to see a sniper panic if you find him 7 times out of ten they dont change weapon and try and snipe you from 5 yards or so.Heh. But then again theres nothin like a sniper v sniper match. But sniper v charger....no way hozay
