What do you think the sniper will look and be like? What about the clip capacity? Do you think anything will be changed?

They did have NV in Halo 1. I hope it returns. But, the Beam Rifle is PERFECT. I like it better than human sniper :)

Yes, definitely get rid of the trail. What good is a sniper when you can see where it's coming from. They should make it where when it fires, you can tell if it's close/far and right/left.

Yeh the sniper rifle was pretty good but I really liked the NV in H1. Hope that returns.
And I also agree that the covenant could use a new weapon cache or two..maybe a whole boatload...

You can't go and get rid of the trail. There has to be a down side to every weapon. Bream Rifle is it over heats quickly but shoots super fast. Human, doesn't over heat, but leaves a trail. I hope it has a few adjustments, but stays similar.

you realise how hard it would be to find a sniper if there wasnt a trail?

At least 8 in a clip, because a 50 cal sniper holds usually 10 rounds, and the halo sniper is a 57 cal, so it should hold like 8 rounds.

No way could they get rid of the trails. You guys have no idea how terrible that would be.

The sniper is a power weapon and kills in one shot from any range. The downside is it is useless at close range and firing gives away your position.

- 4 shots is enough
- NV would be cool as an option
- Beam is good but needs something else to offer over SR and vice versa.
- Both snipers need longer range - almost unlimited because firing from one base on coag only gets half way which is very frustrating.

What do you guys mean get rid of the trail? You are only saying this because you want to be able to hide in a little nook and camp the entire time you have it, rather then go out and move around like any skilled player.

i just hope they bring back the night vision... it's perfect the way it is... the only way it could become better is graphically. Hell, i like the bullet trail, when i'm gettin shot at... so i can see where he's at... and -blam!- him.

It shouldn't change, it won't feel like the sniper Rifle if it changed.

But bringin back the Night vision would be cool.

I really hope that they constrict the field of vision while scoped, much like in GRAW. This will actually make you feel like you are looking through it, not a picture of crosshairs.

You can't bring back NV in multiplayer sadly yhough, unless it is a different button.

The sniper rifle seriously should be nerfed in Halo 3. Halo 2 had too many sniper whores online.

Losing the trail would be stupid as hell. I would like it though so the like in Halo:CE he has to pull the bolt back like a real sniper rifle does. I mean yes it's not a realistic game but I mean add a little to how the weapons operate. It's not like a shotgun is going to shoot a rocket is it? *cough* modders! *cough* But the Beam Rifle has an advantage. It does have less bursts and overheats faster but it's faster, and it has full ammunition when you start with it.

I think that the Sniper is fine as it is but some look/graphical improvements on it wouldn't harm
