Tip 2: Play Halo 3. If you can snipe there, you can dome anything in Reach.

lolBTBsniping.


This, except I suck at Reach's sniper. RIP Swipe-Snipe

All I do is swipe snipe for no scopes and quick scope...


I can't do it in Reach. The sniper just feels too heavy, for lack of a better term.

Been playing ODST and swipe-snipe is godly, especially with the beam rifle

I hate that map so much - mostly because I'm just "there for the ride". I crouch bottom mid, poke out to put a few shots on people, but otherwise, I'm just running around trying not to die because I can't snipe and don't get the shotgun.


Snow bound would have been a good map with static spawns, more cover in the snow, and a power weapon to push for. :/

I don't think that would help it.

It is a bad map.

Snowbound > Most default Reach maps

Unless you're playing the team that sits in the tunnels with shotgun. That's no fun.

I always hated grenades on that map too.

It's basically just Reach's grenade system. I understand why they act all stupid - snow, but it's still just as lame as Reach's grenades.


Ah that's a good point. It's why I miss H2 frags. They'd bounce on everything.

Tap Y, Y quickly so you can zoom out without having to toggle through the zoom modes.

Aesthetics is an art, your body is the canvas, weights are your brush and nutrition is your paint. We all have the ability to turn a self portrait into a masterpiece

beam rifle = two chest shots and then switch weapons quickly. key to at least a 45 in team snipes.

beam rifle does the work for you. IF my little brother can get a 45 than mostly everyone can.

I'm going to invade your heart like a barn swallow high on milk chocolate and grandma love.

Fairness is only possible within the limited powers of man. Elsewhere, there is only chance.

Thus I refute thee.

I too like sniping. I'm no pro, but here are some pointers I find I do frequently.

a) Don't zoom out using the stick, just quick swap with Y. Faster imo, and allows you to check surroundings with a better CQ weapon.

b) Strafe while aiming.

c) Find spots in maps you know well. Spots where you cannot be flanked are nice. Have an escape route too. A sniper's a powerful weapon the other team wants.

d) In close quarters, strafe (physically walk) your reticle into the enemy, don't use the stick so much. May miss like crazy otherwise. This may just be me.

e) Don't always go for headshot if time would be wasted. 2 shots is still a kill.

f) Don't hang around sniping where the sniper spawns. Enemies will be checking that location to grab it, so find a better spot.


Once again I'm no pro and these tips may be total fail, but...

  • 01.11.2012 8:59 PM PDT

I snipe sometimes. it's good to stay in a safe spot but it's also good to move around sometimes. Don't pop out when you're one shot. keep your aim steady

  • 01.11.2012 9:20 PM PDT

And if the enemy is really far then go for the body.
