dont like my driving? stay off the sidewalk

ever jumped on the passenger of a vehicle seat with a sniper? the hitboxes grow to like 5 times what they should be on enemies and you can literally get headshots while the vehicle is doing flips.

i also like how they put in bloom but you cant even fire for that half a second anyway so your shot is always exactly in the target reticule. way to add in useless visual clutter....

Good point, Darkoverlord3000! The Revenant thing was just dumb to add. Did they actually think no one would abuse that?


It's things like this we as a bungie or halo waypoint community take for granted. Alot of people don't know about rev sniping and will simply go for the cliffs to snipe or camo snipe under some rocks, while the revenant drivers (regardless of a passenger) get into CQC with infantry and vehicles. It's impossible to get a combination of a revvy driver and sniper passenger if you're playing as a random.

Tries to look at OP's snipe stats.

No linked gamertag.

Surprise.

OPINION = DISREGARDED.

And so God called Moses to come forth but he came fifth and was therefore disqualified.

Opinions are like farts, everyone has them, no one wants to hear them.

What happened to making it "idiot proof" Bungie?


When has Bungie ever made a new Halo game more skillful? Its always been dumbed down.

Also, why was it buffed to anti-everything weapon, when all the other anti vehicle weapons got nerfed?

My basic gameply rule for Reach, if there's a sniper on the map, the map is trash and ruined.

Revenant sniping? Wouldn't that make sniping harder because you're in a moving vehicle?

OP: totally agree. I am a bad sniper but jeez getting headshots is way too easy.

  • 12.22.2011 10:31 AM PDT

The best event in the Halo series was the grunt rebellion!

Listen to some of this on, this site.

This is why I stay on the flood...

Passenger seats in Reach get a boost of auto aim. Its most noticeable in the Revenant, which has an insane amount and getting kills in it is piss easy.

Oh ok, thanks for informing me!

Breaking barriers.

Halo 3 sniping is the hardest since CE. H2 was easy and Reach is hilariously easy.

  • 12.22.2011 10:51 AM PDT

Sniping is going to need to be easy with zero-bloom.

I still think it's balanced because there is more depth in the Halo Reach world than in Halo 3. The scale of the world is larger; the players smaller.

Nope. SouthPole isn't a person. He's the avatar of the force of tryhards everywhere. He stalks the web looking for retards to set straight. He can not be stopped by mere bans or thread locks for he shall rise anew.

You do realize that bloom has almost no effect on sniping, right? No Bloom will be no different in that regard. It will actually be harder because the game plays a lot faster, making it harder to snipe.

Not to mention a revvy has a mini cannon ontop of it, is agile, has a boost feature and is impossible to flip over unless you're driving a revvy for the first time.

@Southpole: I meant snipe vs. DMR.

With no-bloom on the DMR, a sniper is going to get absolutely melted trying to line up a shot.

A bad sniper will, yes. They still need to put 5 shots on you while you only need one, maybe two.

  • 12.22.2011 1:09 PM PDT

Isn't DMR a 4-shot kill now in MLG?

I'm just saying whatever advantage the sniper had before is pretty much nullified now. A sniper needs all the help he can get.
