What is better? The Human Sniper Rifle or the Covenant Beam Rifle?

The Sniper Rifle is better because it can hold significantly more ammo, and can fire four shots before it is necessary to reload. With the Beam rifle, no-scoping is easier due to quick shots, but it overheats very easily.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

I'd rather be holding a Sniper in a regular game, but in a TSN game I'm going to be using the Beam Rifle as much as possible. Firing off two consecutive shots with little delay to land a quick bodyshot kill outweighs the overheat.

Beam Rifle is good for the double-shot, but for noscopes and general use I prefer the Sniper. Just feels better.

In TSn i think the beam rifle is better, but anything else the human sniper because it can hold more shots. I voted for the Beam rifle cos in a snipe v snipe off it has the upper hand

I'm not making excuses. I never claimed to be good. I have never played any colonel better than me though.

Pretty much this.

One does not simply stop playing Minecraft! Or Fallout!

As stated above, they both have pros and cons, but I prefer the human Sniper Rifle above the Covenant Beam Rifle.

Is it just me or does it overheat quicker then in Halo 2.
