Practice makes perfect.

Play some MW2 and learn how to quick scope. Once you can do it easily and cross map it, it becomes really easy to line up shots in Halo 3.

Trust me. I was average at sniping before MW2 and afterward i was fairly decent now, not great, but better than i was before by far.

no no no no no no no no no no higher your sensitivity. quick scope dont rely on no scoping. dont prescope walls and doors then they will just jump and if you are on a low sensitivity or even high its hard to catch up to them b4 they fire a shot, quick scope them. other than that its practice. to me playing playlists with a br makes me bad with my sniper but my sniper gets everything warm so basically just keep playing snipes. watch some of my vids on my fileshares.

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

Best way, it's hard but it helps. You need to turn your sensitivity to 2/3 and play Rumble Pit, if you're a low rank, there shouldn't be a lot of competition for the sniper. This helps you track targets and get used to surrounds/ being a target yourself. Being good doesn't mean being able to head shot. I clean body shot and allowing a teammate to finish is always a good help!

Honestly just practice. Use what feels comfortable to you, and just do it. Theres really no secret to snipers, you just have to do it. Be patient, aim carefully, but be quick about it, and if you are in a sniper fight and you dont think you can win back down.

My last piece of advice is be confident. Dont be afraid to take shots, but dont try to take impossible shots. There is a big difference

fear me, for i am pro sauce

i use 2 sensitivity

i play lots of custom snipers with my freinds just messing around trying to no scope, people always say playing better people makes you better, in my case when i play my freinds i get owned because they can snipe

they do get scared when i pick the laser up though, i love that thing
