Snipers are definately not cheap , and since you can see the trail left by the bullet it always gives away where the sniper is. Just one more of the many things bungie did to even out the weapons. Also when your snipeing you have to let your guard down.

I find sniping a very hard job, but it is anoying to be killed by a sniper. I'm a driver and I hate it when I get shot out of my vehicle.

Five Tenets of Bungie.net Forum Life:
1. Trolls will always be well fed.
2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

Sniping is fun. There's nothing more satisfying about sniping than hearing some yell,"Where the f**k did that come from?"

I use the rifle, but I get bored camping, so I run around with it at x2.

I snipe alot. w/o the trail the sniper would be cheap, but sniping with RL's is more fun.

Anyone who thinks the SR is cheap should just give up playing Halo due to their lack of skills.

I like the SR and I like sniping. I don't camp, I thing that camping is actually cheap. The SR is my specialty but a LOT of room for improvement. Anyone who thinks that sniping is cheap probably aren't very good snipers themselves. If they got good at sniping I bet that they would love it and think that its not cheap.

Check the link below, its a short movie of MP Halo. These guys are good at sniping. Plus the rest of the movie is cool.

I can snipe, but I don't. Even so, it isn't cheap unless they are camping or spawn killing.
