many use the S2-AM and many have a hard time hitting it things. here is a few steps that could help u.

step-1: find higher ground this is for a view of the battle grounds and it makes it easier to find targets.

step-2 : know the map. this includes all hiding spots, openings, and weapon spawnes. why weapon spawnes, because the other team wants the power weapons and right before they get it u carve a hole in thier head. the reason to know the openings is because if u pin them down they will go for the nearest opening so if they move for it u will plaster him to the wall (it might be a little while before they move).

step-3 : wait, by that i mean by wait for the perfect shot not when the target is run at top speed or drive zeeg-zag. fire when they slow down aim for the head don't try to hit the chest or legs. make each shot a kill.

step-4: stay in the shadows it will be hader for the other team to see u camo. is one thing that every sniper needs. don't stand in the same spot just get a few kills then go for another spot.

DO THIS AND YOU WILL BE A TRUE MARKSMAN! :)

No offense, but sniping is probably one of the most widely discussed combat roles found in Halo. Therefore, you really haven't posted anything that the rest of us don't already know. Also, there is a Halo 1 sniping guide sticky at the top of the page.

sniping is not nubish in any way. a good offense sniper can turn the tide in a battle and all u need is a pistol and rifle. start at your base sniper then move closer to opposing base and continue this until out of rifle ammo then move in and provide supporting fire. but NEVER be a sniper hor the kind that when they run the go back to base to obtain more ammo and whack friendlys in the back for the gun (now that is nubish).

and by the way up at the top that was some very good advice.
