It should stay exactly the way it is. 4 Rounds makes sense because although the size of the round is 14.5 X 114mm, it is an APFSDS round, the likes of which are big and honkin'. What would be awesome is when you fire it, you can see the sabot flying off from the round. That would be hella-cool (is that hyphenated?). Also, the trail, as much as I hate it, is really needed for balance purposes. I think Bungie got the Sniper perfect in Halo 2 and it should stay that way.

yeah, the trail is really good when you know that you leave it, you have to move, and it makes you a better player, the trail should stay, otherwise noobs would just hide away sniping and you'll never find them...
About NV, I should say it would be fun having it as an option, like on the covenant sword with the Arbiter, should be perfect in night time maps and everyone should enjoy!!!
I know I will.....

Nightvision on Live would be PIMP! 4 shots is good.

Why do you need night vision anyway?
No dark multi player levels in a halo 1 or 2 no use

Sweet set up mine is a 360 on a 62' DLP

What use is NV in a map like Coag...or any other map with light in it. NV is only useful...AT NIGHT! (hint:"night" vision). But what would be cool is if it had Thermal vision. Of course if they did this to the SR the beam rifle would need some kind of vision modes too.

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


EXACTLY

it would be stupid to get rid of the sniper trail, image someone having done a glitch of some sort, so arent in the usual places on the map, they could sit there for a whole game without being killed, at least the trail in this kind of situation would help the others in the game.

I did think of them getting rid of the sniper trail.. but sreiously, it would cause such an annyance to the others in the game.

SNIPER RIFLE IS GREAT improves your aim alot. Night vision was cool in halo1 though they got rid of it in halo2 as their wasnt a really good dark level to use it for.Halo3 will b great bungie has saved the best for last

No, you need to stop making pathetic requests. How about they grant you invisibility next?

I say bring back the night vision scope, it was very useful. And remove all auto-aim for sniper weapons; swipe-sniping bugs me. It takes all the skill out of it. Other than that, it's fine how it is. I wouldn't mind a larger ammo capacity, but that'd ruin the balance.

It's a 57 cal. round. Have any of you fired the 50 cal. sniper? Let me get to the point it should cause a large amount of damage on the Banshie(spelling?). They should bring back the night vision and the distance counter. Made me feel special when i hit a guy uber far. Also have so that when you fire you unzoom. That should bring in more school.

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.


but then, they would have to add in breathing effects, leading your target, and prone. it is to easy to snipe now, and removing the trail would eliminate any chance of them dying

i like the beam rifle better, it has a higher maximum capacity and it has no reloads.

The only thing I want changed on the human snipe rifle is the removal of the stupid tv in the scope. Yeah it's a nice touch, looks cool, but on small tv's its in the way, badly. It should go back to being a little more low profile.

The beam is good but a little over powered with the no reload, +4-6 shots, and firing speed.

I'd lower the firing speed (over heat slightly faster) and make the max shots 14.

Nightvision.


Agreed, and i would not change the rifle in any other way.

  • 05.22.2006 7:12 AM PDT

1. Night vision for dark or HDR-heavy environments (enemy can blind sniper with flashbang).
2. Matrix-style bullet trails.
3. Louder and environment-immersed sound effects (enemy can trace a sniper through 5.1 speakers)
4. Stronger zoom for bigger maps.

The over penetration .. don't get me wrong, on CE it annoyed the hell outa me when the round went through two grunts then killed a marine .. but i miss it on Halo 2

Clip size is perfect & there really wasn't a need for NV in Halo 2 .. but i also wouldn't mind the adjustments done by Gunns for Johnson ..

Depends if this games attracts noobs. When they start they can't shoot straight so we cannot give them a one shot. LMAO. 6 clip maybe, 5 if not
