as many of you know, this game is based during halo 2 (cleaning up cheifs mess, again lol), but do you guys think that it is going to have the high rate of fire, steady sniper that we all loved from halo 2? also, this is only partly off topic. you had more shots with the covenent sniper in halo 2. think that will come back.

No the Halo2 sniper will not be there.

no, it's made from the Halo 3 engine, so it will be the Halo 3 sniper. Thats why the rocket launcher doesn't lock on either.

Exactly with the engine but do you have proof that bungie didn't add the lock on since there aren't any missle pods?

to be honest that makes the game less realistic (in the halo universe that is) mostly because of the timeframes. and if we cant lock on vehicles with the rockets, and the missle pod wasnt there in halo 2., then what can we use. unless the missle pod is there because it on the same engine.

Possibley bungie hid the missle pods and we have the Spartan laser(which there should be a skull that makes you say 'I'ma firin meh lazor BBLLLLAAAGGGHHHHHHH' before shooting the laser)

The missle pod was still in service during Halo 2, just not in that area.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite airstrike.

For clarification on the Beam Rifle:

Halo 2: 18 rounds
Halo 3 (campaign) 20 rounds
Halo 3 (multiplayer) 10 rounds

Not here to debate, those are the facts. Don't like it? Seek lies elsewhere.


As for the H2 Sniper, it was limited by the tech of the day. Like the BR, it was hitscan and required less skill/talent/ur mum to use than now, but not by a huge margin. The Halo 3 one is more balanced, however you are right in noticing the model number has changed inbetween the games.

But really, not enough difference between them to warrant a different weapon in-game, like the SSMG which does something the SMG does not. The Sniper Rifle has always held 4 shots per magazine and has 20 spare rounds. Other than different scopes on the HUD, they are all the same.

Go Go Happy Time!

I wish people would do some research before asking stuff.

But then why is the pistol different? Huh? They can still make different weapons you know.

Lets see, wat can use to kill the enemy with a rocket and cant lock on? Try skill, Ive heard it works.

ok mr sarcasm ive kiloled plenty of ghosts with out locking on, im just saying that it makes the game less realistic.im talking about hostile air-to-ground support when there isnt a spartan laser handy. trust me, ive tried to do stuff like that, boarding a vheicle, waiting for it to come close enough can take a hell of a long time.

Well genius, the M6C/SOCOM is a special forces variant of the M6, not a mainstream issue pistol.

well smart ass he means the game, adding new weapons, not real life

  • 07.27.2009 8:53 AM PDT

The M6(C? I think?) is the Halo 3 pistol, as the M6C/SOCOM is the ODST pistol.

  • 07.27.2009 9:30 AM PDT

Actually in one of the videos I saw, the scope was clear like in halo 2, not green. So, I'm thinking yes.

EDIT:
Scratch that, maybe not, I just watched the video again, I couldn't tell.
