in an interview with the winners of the mountain dew contest who play halo 2, they said that the sniper rifle now kinda pushes up everytime you shoot making it harder to aim your next shoot, so now you can't shoot two quick rounds like you used to be able to do in halo 1. i like this because, it's gonna be harder for campers to snipe common players.

Snipers aren't for n00bs. Its takes a considerable amount of skill to accurately wield one. In my opinion, nothing is for n00bs. Now say if theres someone, who does nothing but snipe and he's really good at it and you can't get close to him, it would be cheap to just camp from an invincible spot and kill, kill, kill. Thats n00bish. Anybody who uses the same tactic over and over and over again like camping an important spot and sniping the whole round is noobish.

it is great, instead of two cheap fast shots to kil l someone, people have to focus on headshots now, giving noobs better chances, and harder to spawn kill

they should have it like splinter cell where its moving all around when you are useing your scope, you hold l and hold you breath and its still but it only lasts a couple of seconds

[color=lime] anyone that says snipers are for no0bs is a no0b themselves. It takes alot of skill to use a sniper especially close range no zoom sniping. If you can master that, then sniper is most powerful gun in the game. [/color]

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

It wont move that much. The recoil is to give visual reference for your delay between shots, same as the M6D. The reticle won't move just the gun barrel.

I corrected your statement.

Yeah we should all use only Covenant weapons and the MA5B, because those are the only weapons that take skill.

I dislike this change. The Xbox Live n00bs should die like the mindless sheep that they are. If you can't learn to dodge 2 bullets from a 4-shot magazine by strafing erratically and laying supressing fire on the sniper you deserve what you're going to get. The funny part is I'm still going to own all the pathetic players who like this change because they feel it makes their lives easier. Ah well, at best it will make sniper duels even more tense and heated. Of course, the other guy could just whip out a battle rifle or Covie carbine and finish the now-seriously-handicapped sniper.
