I wish bungie can turn the sniper 's power lower


Well obviously some weapons are going to be more powerful than others. the downside with the sniper rifle is the slow reload rate, low magazine count and few rounds per magazine.

Live with it.......

A good Halo sniper can pin down teams and turn the tide of a battle in a few shots: however, a good Halo team will treat the sniper with utmost respect and fear, thus throwing everything it has at said marksman until the threat is gone: a sniper is still vunerable, unless its opponents are idiots.

The sniper rifle in halo is the most balanced i have come across in my time as a gamer. For example the Halo SR does not kill in one shot (not including Headshots) where as may others do CS AWP (if ur lucky u might get hit in the leg) or MoH sringfield 09. The 4 shot clip is great coz it counters the fact that is takes a maximum of 2 hits to kill someone that is running, strafing and jumping; so you are bound to miss a few if you aren't 1337 with a SR

The Halo SR kills has around a 90% chance of killing in one shot: occasionaly it hits opponents anywhere below the shoulders and fails to down them instantly, rather it takes them down to one block of health: but this is seemingly decided at random... however, contact with the neck or above is an instant kill.

PRICE CHILD SAID THIS
"Well obviously some weapons are going to be more powerful than others"



yeah i know that, BUT this weapon have TOO much power, you can kill a person with one bullet , that 's crazy, ALSO many people told me " that is life", NOO noo noo, that is not life!
because in halo, pistols can't kill a person in one bullet, while sniper can do that

Bungie was trying to make it realistic to make the sniper have a 1 shot, 1 kill. If you were shot in the head, would you live? oh, and by the way, it does take two shots to kill someone usually if you don't hit them in the head. Are you new at this fearless? Because everyone (except newbs) know that...

Pedantic Semantics aside, most concur that the SR is balanced, and it will doubtlessly not be changed for Halo 2. If the SR incenses you so much, then play with shields on.

I am against sniper , because its not same to pistol , in halo you can kill person with a ONE bullet , while pistols you can't kill a person with one bullet, that's why i am against the sniperfans,ALSO snipersFans can sit back and shooting , while his emeies can't shoot him back ,BECAUSE pistols can shoot far as sniper do!


Also , i am not newbie , i play this game for two years and counting

(By Dr. Fearless)
Are you some sort of dumbass? Honestly!? Some weapons are more powerful then others. What it sounds like you wanna do is make everything the same damage! ThAt iS WaCK!

AND YES, IF YOU WERE SHOT BY A SNIPER IN REAL LIFE, YOU WOULD DIE (unless maybe they hit you in the toe or finger, or something like that) and you must also think, the MC's have shielding. Since the Pistol is not as strong as the Sniper, it must first penetrate the MJOLNIR armor (2 shots I believe, sometimes 3 to make them down) then, when the shielding is down, any shot could kill MC in the head. Since the Sniper is stronger, (as it should, because it is meant to shoot farther then all the guns in the game.) the sniper can both penetrate the MC's armor, going through to his head, killing him.

I hope I have taught you something today
I will be teaching grammar to you tommorrow

Just change you're weapon settings to "no nipers". You'll have to do wothout the pistol but you'll have to live with that. Talking of which i think that should DEFINITELY be changed. I like my pistol.

The pistols in Halo are capable of killing in one shot also: anyone who believes this to be untrue is, dare i say, unskilled.

Everyone but you understands that the SR is fair. Just because you don't like SR's, it doesn't mean you have to start whining about how, "It's to strong!" Bungie was even nice enough to give a trail of where the bullet came from! Just to make it easier to find them, so I also don't understand you talking about how it's, "impossible to find them!"

This is to furry. Does the pistol really kill in one shot to the head? Because I thought it takes two shots to take out the shields, and then (after shields are down) you could kill them in one shot, or is that what you meant?

If you meant the coventional shield: yes, one shot to the head will kill.
If you meant the over-shield: several shots are required to wear down the shield, i believe.

Cab and Fearless... tsk tsk tsk. A skilled pistol man (such as myself) can easily take out an enemy sniper. REMEMBER: one bullet shot to a sniper while in zoom will knock him off zoom, leaving him confused or running. (or he'll keep zooming in and try and hit you) I don't like snipers much (atleast I don't like using them; I'm better for running in, killing everyone, and taking the flag with me) but a sniper could easily kick my ass if I wasn't careful, but I could just as easily kill the Sniper man if he wasn't either.

a pistol can kill a person in one shot, even at the kind of distance a sniper rifle would conventionally be used for. So your point is not valid, really.
