Subject: What is your favourite method of sniping?

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

I soft scope.

What's hard scoping?
It's when you sit in scope watching an area waiting to take a shot. It involves a lot of prediction. For example, if my team calls out the enemy team is spawning their snipehut on Asylum, I'll scope in on it and wait for them to pop out.


That's just ambush sniping, I think. Hardscoping is basically camo sniping on the cliff on hemmhorage.
What? No.

At least you admit it. Most randoms in this game know that they're the best sniper in the game when in reality they're awful and just waste the ammo or don't help the team with it.

I need the practice with the sniper. Thats why I pick it up.

A mixture of hard scoping and quick scoping. 9 times out of 10 my no scopes are complete luck.

I hardly ever pick up the sniper anyway, I'm pretty terrible with it.

I'm a better sniper than you though.

Missing every damn shot.

Rofl. I suck at sniping as well, but am occasionally good. If I'm lucky I can get a no-scope... but for the most part I need to scope in...

In BTB, hard scope. In 4v4s, no scope or quick.

I don't have a favorite method cuz sniping is for phags.

yup

In 4v4s and the such mainly quick scoping but because I'm not a very good sniper I usually let others take it.

In BTB sniping is much more heavily weighed to positioning and far less to aiming/accuracy so I take it more often. Sitting on your base is useless, if you are playing retards please push up. In BTB I do hard scope quite often because I usually know where people will go. It is far easier to predict movement and when I see them I have plenty of time to line up a shot.

A competitive players main goal is to win.
A casuals main goal is to have fun regardless of whether that results in a win or loss.
It has nothing to do with individual skill or knowledge, it has to do with the reason you play.

I've never hit a single sniper bullet, that's how I roll.

720 noscope is my favorite way to miss though.

Hardscoping for me - I can't quickscope, and I only noscope if I have no other choice and someone's bearing down on me with a sword or something. I ususlly miss the noscope though, which is why I don't do it!

Please do not send me "recruitment messages" as I'm not interested in joining any groups currently.

Quickscoping. It's more reliable than no-scoping for me and better for pushing up.

Of course I don't snipe much anyway because I'm not a particularly great shot with the thing.

Try and hide your jealousy better, child. Stay on topic. OT:I'm inconsistent with it. I also hardly pick it up in 4v4 maps.

"To me, a nice triple kill with the sniper is infinitely more impressive than any Living Dead Killionaire"

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

If i have some sort of cover then I'll hardscope from the side of that and just headshot when they come around the corner. If I'm caught out in the open against someone shooting me with a DMR, I usually find their rhythm, and immediately after they shoot (while they're still waiting for the chamber to cycle and fire the next shot) I hit them in the body with a quickscope and whip out the DMR to finish.
