well we've all heard some little tid bits about sniping. and i know there is alot of you sniper fanatics out there. but there is one more little sweet ass tid bit the the bungie princess revealed to us. that you can snipe through walls. how cool is that? think about it, you're tracking a running foe sprinting for cover behind a wall, just a you match his speed you prepare to fire but he dissapears behind the cover of a concrete wall, but you fire anyways. you foe thinks he's escaped then, thud, his corpse hits the ground and you see the wonderful phrase. "you killed (insert name here".

i realise this has been in other games apparently, but its going to be even better in halo 2 becuase....well it's halo 2

its good idea but i dont think you will kill them but definatley hurt them... and also it may determine on the distance of the shot...(phsyics and all)

i think it should be limited. Sniping thro walls will make Spawn Killers happier than a retard in a candy store, imagine on longest this guy just starts unloading down the hall, no matter where you are, your hit. So dumb

The whole point of "walls" is too take cover. If people could snipe through walls, imagine all the spawn campers.

Bungie never said they were going to. The person who posted this topic misread the Bungie Weekly Update and thought the Bungie Princess said snipers can shoot through walls.

I'm sorry, but did any of you actually read it?!? She specifically stated taht you would NOT be able to snipe through walls, and that those who played Quake, or whatever would be disapointed. READ IT

i realise what the weekly update said, i was sayin to the poster that it was a decent idea... why do ppl come to forums to look for things to flame? Were you not breast fed enough as a child to where you need to make yourself look better than everyone else?

Sniping through walls would be -blam!- (and he said it won't happen) if anything, they're making it harder on snipers. (recoil, the levels: Hell, have you seen all the obstacles we can hide behind to avoid sniper fire!?) and all the other guns in the game will make things much harder.

Um... I believe SOME snipers are cheap (spawn killers, snipers that only snipe... etc) but ya, they should make it harder. I say this because the ultimate sniper in my area can be taken down by me takin' 2 shots in his stomach (get him off zoom and then kill him)
To make it more challanging for me, and other snipers, I like the recoil, but I also think it should be like in SC:PT, where you have to hold your breath and you only have a breaf window of opportunity to kill someone while keeping the sniper steady. I find sniping more fun when their is a challenge.

Its an interesting thought, but I think that would only be good for multiplayer, cause the AI is different in the two games.

and they would have to be definate kill shots, otherwise you're pretty screwed depending on the range.
