I personally found Halo 3 sniping to be my favorite. I preferred the Beam Rifle and recoil as opposed to the Reach sniper's bloom.

Best of random chance

I hardly see how this fits specifically in the Reach forum...

The Alt. of JJ WEBBY due to Gamertag/Windows Live ID change.

Definitely Combat Evolved.
Every weapon felt so powerful and pinpoint.

Only other place for it would be the Flood, but the only Halo they talk about there is H4.

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

Eh? But Reach's sniper bloom is effectively irrelevant...

I like sniping in this game. Sniping in combat evolvd sucks. And halo 2 and 3 isn't much different from each other. Only in reach does it feel sliiiiightly different, but not in a bad way

If you reload-cancel then immediately fire there's bloom on the sniper.

Those milliseconds that it takes the reticle to reset could be used to line up another shot. In essence, it slows down chain-sniping.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.

ODST.

I'd say CE but seeing how bad my sniping is while I'm trying to complete the campaign on legendary, I'm horrible at that.

HCE: Didn't play enough competitively to form an educated opinion.
H2: Too Easy
H3: Inconsistent
Reach: Consistent but pretty easy

I went with Reach.

I would have liked Halo 3 the most if it didn't have the upwards kick.

So none. They all suck in different ways.

  • 01.12.2012 11:31 AM PDT

Halo 2 > Halo 3 > Halo 3 ODST > Halo Reach > Halo CE

Based on campaigns.

I suck ass in all of them apart from CE. I dont know how you snipers do it, its just impossible for me

Halo CE was fckn epic. It was like a machine gun in a way.
Halo 2's sniper was a bit slower but still great.

The others sucked.

Reach because it is sssoooo much easier tbh. I miss the beam rifle though :(

Elites in H3 were a joke.

Reach Beta is where they were finally formidable players. And then they got the nerf :/

So your issue is more with the fire rate of the sniper, then?

I miss being able to fire a bit quicker in Halo 2 and 3.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

I liked using the beam rifle in Halo 3 over its sniper because of the recoil, so I stuck with the BR over the human sniper.
