It seems that bungie is making Halo 2 more vehicle base and CQ combat (close quarter combat) base game, with the duel weapon stuff and all. I am all for the more of a role the vehicles are goin to have in halo2 multiplayer but y CQ combat. I am a die hard sniper rifle fan, and with the news that the rifle is going to have recoil really is a punch to the stomach to me. I beat halo on all the difficultys and i can say this without the pistol it would have been extremely hard for me. If they are takin away the scopes for pistols and having recoil for the sniper rifle that just stinks. If they are goin to have recoil the sniper rifle outta be able to carry more shots or somethin. That or it should be more powerful. The pistol part might be ok with the battle rifle if the battle rifle can shoot just as good as the pistol in the first halo. O well this is just how i feel. Im sure im goin to get hammered by the people who hate snipers. But all do respect the role of a sniper is a very important one. I know on many CTF games with out snipers the games would have gone on for ages cus snipers provide excellent cover. If your stupid enough to stand still somewhere than it is ur fault.

Yeah, I'm with arch.

I'm all for realism. I want my games to be as realistic as possible. Even if it makes gameplay a bit more annoying, I love it because it's something that you have to practice to master.

it recoils and it is realistic it evens the playing field and makes it more ballanced because snipers shoot twice and then have a kill without taking any damage so i think this will make snipers have to actually become good at hiting a running target but i am sure sprinting will help

i want realism too but i read in the books how MC is like a bio engineered super soldier who is extremely stronger than normal humans and with quicker reflexes and stuff. With these enhanced traits let along the Mjolnr armor he should be able to withstand recoil.


Also doesn anyone know how the covennant carbine rifle is goin to be, is it goin to have recoil and is it as strong as the regualr sniper rifle.

bungie kicks ass


i always thought halo was anti sniper, but now they do a few tweeks just to make sure you know who is making the game... not campers, not snipers, not fairies... MC is supposed to be an almighty badass, so now that people have to run around and kick the crap out of each other, im happy.

They better not have auto aim. OMG that would be something that would make my skin crawl. All that would do is show u dont have to be good at halo to kill people. Basically all u would have to do is point and shoot. That would blow big time.

Instead of the recoil thing with snipers i would be happy that the reticule moves a little, and u have to hold ur breath with the sprint button to keep it still. But doin this would also take down the sprint meter. So u would have to keep an eye on that. i dont know just somethin that would still let snipers be balanced with the rest. if the recoil isnt that big well maybe it would be alrite but if its too big than i beleive it wouldnt be balanced.
