Unlike the BR the pistol has a maximum range and needs to be aimed. The BR on the other hand can land perfect headshots from across the map and literaly curves the bullets for you. (lots of aim assist + massive amounts of bullet magnetism = BR)
On the subject of lag, I was refering to player bouncing around the map. I know in Halo 1 that you have to aim ahead because of the netcode. It is rare in Halo 1 that the actual character model of the person you are shooting at actualy "teleports" to a different area of the map because of lag. This often happens in Halo 2.
Compared to Halo 2, the Halo 1 sniper rifle was alot more difficult to use. So, for spawnkilling, Halo 2 makes it alot easier. The BR can kill someone almost instantly if in the hands of a "pro Halo 2 player". The sniper rifle in Halo 2 has almost as much aimassist as the BR AND still has bullet magnetism. You could literaly spin around, shoot in the general direction of someone, and get a headshot.
Halo 2 had many noob friendly camping spots. You could camp in Halo 1, but you would soon find your camera floating over your dead body with the respawn timer in the corner wondering "wtf just happend????". Sitting in a small hallway or on a building in Halo 2 with a BR or any powerweapon gave noobs free kills.
Halo 2 does have many places that allow people to super bounce. This allows player to get to places that give them an instant advantage. No such thing is present in Halo 1, or atleast not practical enough to do in a fight.
I do know my facts. If you are going to prove me wrong then do so with something that makes sense.
Agree with the aim assist for the BR, this was one of the many things that bugged me about the weapon.
Never seen the player bouncing before, never experienced it. I do however dislike the leading a shot in Halo PC, but then thats because im not very good at it, if only they could have had a better netcode.
Sniper rifle? I agree to some extent, the sniper was easier to use in Halo 2, which kinda took away from the skill, but the Halo PC one wasn't exactly difficult either, except the leading shots, one guy could dominate and spawn trap on Blood Gulch if positioned right. Never heard of this 360 stuff with the sniper, this isn't Halo Reach, now that's a sniper anyone could use.
Agreed with the camping, i've seen alot of it on Halo 2 xbox but however, since i joined Halo 2 Vista late, i haven't seen much of it, but then i don't really play the game to see it anyway.
Super bouncing is non existent in H2V, except for rocket launching but you need overshields for that anyway. In H2X it is there and i agree, was ridiculous on some maps back in the day.
