If you look at the figure all the way to the right (Linda?..) then you can see that the Sniper Rifle is unlike any Sniper Rifle we have seen through the Halo games.

You can tell because all the Snipers through the trilogy have had a "needle" (don't know the correct term) of some kind sticking out of the bipod. Obviously the Sniper in the picture doesn't.

Also all of the Snipers have had a flat-topped scope while the Sniper in the picture has some what of a curved top on it's scope.

There also is no iron-sight like the Halo 3 Sniper had.

I dunno if that's just old news or not, but I just wanted to provide some proof that we should be seeing a new Sniper Rifle, so all you MLG people out there get ready (sorry, no proof of the BR to be in the game yet =P )!

PEACE!!

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

1 more difference I see is that the H3 sniper has the bar at the end of the scope to carry it and the Reach sniper doesn't have one.

Uhhh... Snipe?

Why do you doubt this?

Through each Halo game there has been a new Sniper Rifle so why not Reach.
It's Bungie's last game, I'm sure they could push the barriers a little bit.

I hope it has the Halo: CE night scope (with night time levels).

well its not really Bungie's last game,I think its the last Halo game.And in my opinion, it looks like the halo 2 sniper rifle.Although I could be wrong.

I wish I was still legendary.

It could be, but could just as easily be artistic license. remember that you can swap out scopes on sniper rifles, if you think realistically. I personally think it's the Halo one sniper with a Halo 2 style scope.

Well, all I know is that it's a different style of Sniper. Whether it's a brand new one, or if it's just a mixture of two or more Snipers we've seen through the trilogy (although just mixing 2 Snipers together could peev some people off including me).

It just has a different scope. It may be the Oracle Scope Linda has used sometimes in the books.

that's the scope used in Halo 3.

I don't accept Group invite any longer

I read first halo novel, if i remember correct. Linda is very professional Sniper. She shot so fast, that Master Chief hardly can tell which enemy Linda shots first.

That sniper rifle may be re-designed for Linda, to be most effect recoil to increased speed shots.

on picture, different scope, thicker body, maybe shorter barrel.

that my guess.

There are more differences than just having a different scope. Probably even more than I named if you look hard enough.

Also, what Sniper in the trilogy are you refering to as not having the same scope? Or is it all of them?

  • 10.09.2009 5:41 PM PDT

Ignorance is BLISS

I dont really see any difference in the sniper it still looks all the same

In the games the Scopes are basically all the same, in the books there are different scopes though.

Are you sure? It says that on Halopedia too but I'm not so sure. Meh, either way I doubt it will be that different. We have a different sniper rifle each game and they all feel the same.

The most epic ending of any book, movie, or game is the end of ghost of onyx. If you haven't read it you should. If you have then " Spartans Never Die"

Linda actually used several different scopes throughout the books. I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of evolution with this sniper rifle. The scope included. different magazine size. different scope options. Nothing I know for sure but just assuming this is a completely new game engine and bungies last hurrah at Halo.... they are going to make it king.

Cool so what if this means we get to customize our guns. Just hope it doesn't turn out to be cod.

Oh, Lord no! If Bungie makes guns customizable (which obviously means class based because you must have classes to customize something) then that will kill everything about Halo in my opinion. I hate how CoD worked out in matchmaking because everyone would go for MP40 with Juggernaut (WaW of course) and let's not forget about Noob Tube!

heopefully there is a new sniper rifle, maybe one were you actually have to lead your shots. This would help make Halo Reach feel like it is definantly a prequel...
