Subject: Overpowered sniper rifle

i have seen this so many times i cant help but post it. The sniper rifle in halo reach is way to overpowered. Here are my reasons.
1.Holds way to much ammo
2.Does to much damage to vehicles
3.Spawns way to fast
4.No bullet dropage( laser accuracy)

Personally, im tired of people camping in the back of maps and constantly pickin up sniper rifles till the game ends. there should be only 2 clips in the sr and it should only spawn twice a game.

Generalizations.

Halo 1, 2, & 3 held 20 shots too. They were also laser accurate.

I've always felt that a gun is almost never overpowered. If it feels that way, the rest of the weapons should be amped up so it feels less powerful. If you start nerfing all the guns, at the end of the day we are all shooting water pistols at each other.

Also, 343 should add a gun that shoots saw blades, perhaps on fire.

How is this Canon related?

Sniper in Reach is actually the closest thing to canon that we have, seeing how the name of the rifle includes the "Anti-materiel" part.

The circular saw type of blade right? With spikes and spinning and chainsaw noises of undefined origin?

Considering it fires a .57 round, it's logical.

No, at the end of the day, you're playing Reach.

The sniper rifle hasn't changed much. When it spawns in reach, it only has 12 shots. The range only goes across half the map in most maps. At a really long range (hemorrage) the sniper can miss. Also, that map has sniper locations (not the rifle, the person) that everyone knows. You can find the sniper easily.
