Subject: what do you think of the new sniper rifle tweak?

"This ain't no ice-cream social" Sarge RvB

The recoil will definately make it a little harder for us non-camping free-roaming snipers. Close range sniping takes more skill than camping, obviously, but campers are not the problem. Not sure but aiming low, say around the body and firing 2 quick shots wouldn\t that take them out anyway? If you can take a headshot, then simply aim for the body and fire, fire.

Old info I knew about this since E3 2004 impressions first came out. Also I like the change no more jump strafe running sniping that filled Halo 1 only the patient and elite will be able to use it.

u guys r idiots, it does take skill to use it, it is hard to get ahead shot when a person is moving diagonal or horizantal, and jumping and sniping, or moving and sniping. like that one guy said, people who say sniping is for noobs, r just noobs who cant snipe

the whole point of sniping means u usually camp the whole time, u r not a whimp if u snipe, all u do is counter snipe from the other base, the whole point when sniping is to kill afar, plus, sniping adds strategy, u guys just suck at sniping and dodging snipes

Snipers arnt for noobs...i think they should be a little less powerfull like it will take all 4 shots to kill someone. But ususaly people who think they are for noobs aim sucks because they cant use em...only in some games they are for noobs...1 shot one kill yeah thats for noobs

Any decent player can avoid a sniper. It's not that hard and unless you're an idiot, who likes to stand in one spot then a new player probably won't hit you.

Also Halo 2's MP expierience is different than Halo 1 in duex you will be sniping for the betterment of your team in a CTF match. It will be alot easier to get headshots when people are focused in on their objectives and sniping could take over the game but Bungie is counter balancing this.

i sure hope if there is recoil that the retical dose not move, only the gun barrel because not having the retical move is one of the great things about halo.

i think they should keep the recoil but make it so it harder to get headshots and also make ti so headshots are 1 shot kill(duh) but if it hits anywhere else then it barely hurts you. that way if you really suck at aiming it would take more than a full clip to kill someone. also it would discourage people from doing the infamous "kill someone by shooting them in the foot" move.

Well first of all if there were not snipers gaming would go back to the old military style of fighting, lined up and hoping that you don't get shot. Sure snipers can be considered cheap, but if you think about it thats what makes us better. The harder of a sniper you face makes you re-think strategies and become a better player. Snipers were invented to keep casualties to a minimum, while slowly dwindiling the enemies forces. Snipers can also be helpful by pointing out any problems that can arise on the battlefield (ie. where the flag is, approaching enemy forces, possible locations of enemy snipers, etc.). I admit I do snipe at times, but I make sure that when I take a shot I don't have to swing around and take even more. To be a sniper you not only have to be a good shot, but you must move after every shot( to make sure you aren't found), move very quickly, and be stealthy. Those things to me take alot of skill.
