Are you serious? Do people like giant maps that take forever? Halo 3 had plenty of mid-small maps. Sandtrap was boring as hell! Valhalla was meh at best.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

Snipers should have bigger maps, not smaller ones. It should be about actually sniping, and not "who can get the lucky no-scope then run in for a punch first". However, the current BTB maps do not work, nor does the score limit. The maps should be specially made, and the score limit should be to 20-ish, perhaps lower.

Perhaps, but then again larger maps in Reach can't support it. At all. Between the forgeable layouts for large maps, which is pretty much what, 2? Options are rather limited. But the problem with larger maps is, well. Anyone can snipe on them. They turn into stand-off maps where you can't take alternative routes. Thats why I'm rather happy to Zealot. I can understand why people would want larger maps but my god its -blam!- boring playing on these maps.

And that's what I feel the Snipers playlist should be: pure countersniping in a slow-paced, more cautious game. That's why I would also like a drastic decrease in the score limit: it makes every move count while not dragging out the game for too long.

Trying to use the sniper like a shotgun, then pulling out your pistol or sprinting for the melee is retarded to me.

That's BS. What you call "lucky noscopes" is in fact a lot of skill. My friend is extremely good at sniping and he hardely ever misses a noscope. Snipers on big maps is boring as h3ll. So much more skill involved in small maps.

Think about what you just said, and think about the actual purpose/design of the sniper rifle. It zooms to 10x for a reason.

B Rye is right, the maps need to be larger, and the kill count a lot smaller.

Team Snipers on the current maps may as well be a game type in action sack.

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Posted by: Sentox6
Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

No-scoping takes more skill than sniping from a distance. That is all.

sniper maps should be about lines of sight, zealot isnt a sniping map, it doesnt have many lines of sight and will just big one big no-scope battle, countdown is the exact same

they need to put in larger maps, games on larger maps only take forever when both teams sit in one place. if ne team attacks and gets the kills, then the games are shorter, this is what me and my friends do when we get hemorrhage, we attack and end the game quickly

boardwalk is a good sniping map, it has a good mix of close up no-scope battles and decent range sniping, the map in general sucks but it has a good mix of sniping ranges
