Well, the way I see it there are 2 fairly intelligent routes Bungie could take with the sniper assuming that they are going to change the current no-scoping machine that makes team snipers team shotguns. I want to know which one of these routes do you think Bungie could take. They could make a heavy assassin sniper or a light scout sniper. Lets take a look at the 2 different snipers.

Heavy Sniper Model
Pros
1. extreme long range capabilities
2. ability to shoot through certain materials
3. 1 shot kill no matter what
4. looks totally badass

Cons
1. heavy, making your guy run slower
2. very slow rate of fire
3. crazy recoil
4. low ammo cap
5.takes a long time to reload
6. very loud

Light Scout Sniper
Pros
1. quiet
2. very mobile
3. fast rate of fire
4. low recoil
5. high ammo cap
6. not usable at extreme long range but good from long to medium range.

Cons
1. 2 shot kill on body, 1 shot kill for headshots
2. cant shoot through anything but bodies
3. less accurate at extreme long range compared to the Heavy Sniper.

Night vision for BOTH GUNS!

Well, which do you think sounds better? the heavy or light sniper?
Please Post as I spent a lot of my time thinking this through and I don't want all my work to be wasted.
Discuss.

I want the stanchion. its perfect for the heavy sniper class, as even a shot to the hand is lethal.

I want a bigger ammo magazine and night vision.

I think i would want it to be a heavy sniper, while the beam rifle can be a light one, but have it just as long ranged.

*I'm just going to say that if the snipers were to change, that the human sniper rifle should be made to be suited to take down vehicles, while the covy sniper should be better suited for killing infanrty.

ok.... I'm not trying to piss off people who play as elites, but I'm just thinking that because the Unsc sniper is meant to be an anti-material sniper, and it never said the covenant sniper was meant to do the same thing, I was thinking that the human sniper should be a heavy sniper more suited against vehicles.
