The pink-machine will be making a return. Good to see, hopefully they make it atleast half as likeable as the human sniper :p

it needs a more solid feel. I didn't get the same adrenaline spike as when using the sniper rifle. (is that bad? getting adrenaline spikes when killing?)

I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum...and I'm all out of bubble gum.

You can see energy building in it? Is that what the WWU said? Might be interesting.

I've seen polls, and its generally agreed on that the human sniper feels more powerful than the covvie sniper. Compare !BLAM! to beeuuu.

Anyway, in the update, bungie said that they are making the covvie sniper feel more powerful, so that should take care of things.

No one likes the covy sniper because its unpredictable........with the human you know you have 4 rounds to kill so one.....but depending on how fast you fire the covenant one it changes the amount of successive shots you can fire.

It is a nice change though and hopefully mabye the shots can take down more damage in Halo3 than the human.......to even things up

They said that it feels more powerful and that you can see energy building in the covenant sniper. Also they said that they would be bringing weapons from Halo CE back in, they will probably bring back the pistol and shotgun and we all know that they will most likely have the AR in Halo3. Knowing them they have probably changed how much energy the beam rifle has since it will most likely be more powerful; so less shots can be fired.

Hey, let's not start misquoting stuff. They said they were "rebuilding old Halo weapons". There was no mention of bringing back Halo CE weapons....

Rebuilding as in changing the assault rifle to be more accurate?
Rebuilding as in the needler sucks and u should be able to fire a whole clip at once?
Or rebuilding as in making the plasma pistol be held upside-down?

In other words tactical changes, power changes, or cosmetic changes which one do you think it will be the most.

The reason the sniper feels less powerfull is because its quiet and it needs to be a darker color... not purple and pink....

The majority of the gun is dark grey, not pink and colourful...
