Does anyone else believe that the sniper rifle's bullet tracers across the screen should have the option to be turned on or off in multiplayer? You could find the best spot in the entire level, but the trace of your bullet gives your position away and you're shot repeadedly in the head before you can even load a second clip!!! does anyone agree... or disagree...

I personaly like the fact it has that line, apart from being damn cool, it also means that thorugh LAN and Halo:PC there isn't just one guy sitting and taking everyon out as he camps on the Snipers spawn point. I think maybe they should put the option in for the people who want it. But i like it just the way it is.

The tracers are on for a reason. If halo was real of course there would be no trailers, they are there to balance out the gameplay on multiplayer. Bungie do not want someone to play god hog with the sniper.

The Master Chief emerged from his code. After seeing his dynamically lit realtime shadow, he went back for 9 more months of development.

If Halo was real the contrail not tracer would still be there. RipSaw calculated the rounds travel at Mach 9. At that speed the rounds would superheat the air and leave a vapor trail.

Lag?? Because on the Xbox you pull the trigger when their head is in the reticle.
