Subject: Should Sniping change for Halo 3??

Its a theory you idiot it doesnt have to make sense

Do you belive in love at first sight? Or should i walk by again?

I think that the sniper should be changed. I like the halo 1 sniper but i dont like using it in that game. The halo 2 sniper is ugly but easier to use. What's your opinion?

I agre but sniping was so easy because the master cheif is a geneticlly enahnced superman basically so he could hold the rifle that level and still fire without moving,,,

I think he meant that the bullet traveled at the speed of light, you click and it is there.

In Halo 1, the sniper was a skill weapon. Unless the target stood still, they still had a chance to get out unless the sniper was great at leading the target to get the headshot, much like leading a target with a rocket in Halo 2.

Not at the speed of light, but think about it... Todays snipers fire faster than sound...

The sniping in both Halos is is great, partly because sniping in itself is fun. But your right the Halo 1 sniping took more skills. The sniping in Halo 2 is way easier.

They should think about maybe making the sniper zoom scope pressure sensitive kinda like Perfect dark zero's system for sniping.

Also halo 2's sniper had limited range I noticed, I think that range should be increased so say on coag. Unlike in halo 2 where you can't shoot a person who is on the other side of the map, make it so in halo 3 you can hit someone who is that far away.

I dont just mean the sniping i mean the look of the sniper if it has night vision...its would be cool if it had therfmal vision but i think the sniping for halo 2 is easy but he is the master chief he could take superman anyday!

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

NO.

Maybe make it bolt-action? That would make it take more skill than shooting anywhere with about 3 rounds. PS: What does a sabot charge bullet do? The manual refers to the sniper rounds as sabot rounds or something like that. PSS: Got it. A sabot round is "A lightweight carrier in which a projectile of a smaller caliber is centered so as to permit firing the projectile within a larger-caliber weapon. The carrier fills the bore of the weapon from which the projectile is fired; it is normally discarded a short distance from the muzzle." I wonder what that would do to affect sniping.

I think it's fine the way it is, although the human sniper seems a bit blocky. I'd like to see it a bit more streamlined. Does'nt make sense though with Earth being captured.

I thought the snper rifle is way better in halo 2 then Halo 1. Commenting on what someone said earlier, you had to lead with the sniper in halo 1. In Halo 2, its more realistic because someone could be boosting in a ghost and you could still hit them (if your good). Try doing that is halo 1, gaurentee you its near impossible. So keep it the same. Also, I think they should put back in Night Vision in Halo 3, that was fun using.

  • 05.11.2006 4:31 PM PDT

They should make it 3 body shots= 1 kill, 1 headshot= 1 kill.

I agree. We have rifles today that can shoot half a mile and yet in the future this thing cant reach across coag.

  • 05.11.2006 4:34 PM PDT

If you do make the sniper range higher, give it less ammo. Being able to kill a guy a mile away seems kind of unfair, no?

i can stop modders all i need is a combat shotgun and a -blam!-load of airline tickets


Make sure its not the game shotgun because then you might be point blank and not hit anything

I don't care how it looks. I think they should tone down the auto-aim/targeting/yaddayadda a bit in general. The only thing thta bothered me was that you couldn't (I think) hit a target that was out of the sniper's range. Even if you timed it right.
