i'm sure this is an old topic, but i'm new.

i for one loath the white line given off when i shoot and i hate it even more because my favorite level to use it is on boardin action. and i say it should NOT be in halo2 or atleast fade extremely fast so you have to be paying close atention to see it.

Sniper will have recoil, where did you hear that? Recoil doesn't make sense in Halo... he has a two ton suit that has strength enhancing abilties.

Disregard this post ^^^^^^^^^ I wasn't thinking straight.

Then tell me why he gets recio with e Pistol, Shotgun, RL, or P. Pistol.

Either way it is still a lot, but for some reason I remember reading it was almost 2 tons... w/e. I thought it was in the manual but I just checked it doesn't say anything. But what exactly do you mean by recoil, like it just moves up slightly?

It already had Reciol now it has a little more. Tracer are a snipers worst enemy i know it makes it balanced be really how come it can't be a short trail.

Ok... I admit, you win, I lose, he has recoil but the aimer doesn't move up or anything like that. I wasn't thinking straight ><

why would it still have recoil

it's hundreds of years in the future
you think that they would get around a simple thing like sniper recoil if they have cars where each wheel has there own axel and you have super humans running around winning your wars

It never had a recoil (when zoomed in atleast, by no recoil i mean it didn't reposition the reticule or delay the next shot)
The trails are there to give the victim a chance to locate the sniper and prevent constant camping (the sniper is forced to keep on the move)

If the Sniper didnt have a condensation/tracer it would be too uber.

I was sorta thinking that the covie sniper won't have as much of a trial, but will be much weaker and hold a little more ammo, something along those lines.

I think they would look like the trails on those things in the E3 real-time demo in the begining.

You can see one 36 seconds in.

Yea, but thats cause when you zoom information is sent in to the visor you never look into the scope. When you shoot it unzoomed you see the little recoil that comes from the SR.

Sniper trails, and it is good they are there, or it would be near impossible to find snipers.

covie sniper can fire 25 times, but over heats after two rapid shots
