The reason that I'm saying that the sniper rifle might be bad in halo 2 is because of the recoil. In halo the sniper didnt have the recoil so you could get two shots in a row and kill somone. But in halo 2 you have to take one shot, let the sniper rifle bounce up and then aim again. And in that time the person could have jumped in a vehicle,get killed by solmebody else(It would probably only take two shots from any gun to kill the guy you were aiming at) or run away. So its going to be pretty hard to get just one kill(but its easy to get somebody if there standing still).

Any ideas on how you can control the recoil?

I think it makes the sniper more selective. It requires someone with skill to kill someone in one shot.

Hmm... I wonder what happens if a marine shoots it. Probably does a back flip...

You'l get better with the recoil....in fact when you get awesome with the halo 2 sniper....you'll be unstoppable with the halo 1 sniper. Besides everyone always took the sniper....it was so hard to get when you play Halo PC

Haha, that would be hilarious, we dont know if it takes two shots, they may have changed it to a one shot kill

"You have the brain of a 5-year old boy, and I'll bet he was glad to get rid of it."

I believe the sniper round does a little less damage this time around too.

Carbine isn't the sniper.

yeah, the latest xbox zone says that the covanent have both a carbine AND an energy sniper. the carbine is like a battle rifle variation.... not sure I like that, but we'll see how it goes.

the sniper being a one shot kill would suck... unless it had like one shot per magazine...

Well, there's only one way to deal with annoying recoils...
Aim for the head!

Unless you have a time machine, I don't think you should be telling us how things are supposed to be in the future.

Increase sniping efficiency, then the Halo 2 sniper rifle will be suited for you. This time the sniper rifle will totally enhance the overall effect/impression it leaves for the player. Now you need to really look for a good spot, you need to learn how to take your time, and you need to aim more efficiently. It rocks, and if you get 'em well, you'll feel a lot more skilled.

As another player, what makes you feel more threatened: a guy shooting 4 shots at you in no time or silence, making you believe that you are being traced by a deadly sniper? I think it is number two. If you see 4 sniper shots miss you, you'll say "wow, that guy really sucks!" If you hardly see the shot and it appears to get you in the head, I'd be a lot more scared. Why more fun when scared?. you might ask. It's the thrill.

Less shot-tracing, longer aiming for sniping person, more skill needed sounds like awesome sniping conditions!

aim at feet and the recoil from the 1st shot should bounce up to thier head and then shoot when it is at his head

There is no need to be insutling. That guy simply didn't read the above statements. Let's remind him in an appropriate manner that it is helpful to read through all the posts before he posts himself.

Leave out those unecessary insults!

Now only pros with the sniper could actually use it good. I can get a headshot on a guy who is running all the way across Blood Gulch. Its not hard. Now with recoil its at least more realistic.
