Sniper rifle is suppose to be something...well, that takes tremendous skills to use.
In halo1 and 2, I guess everyone has realized that the snipers in halo are a lot easier to use than the snipers in other games ( CS, Battlefield, Battlefront), it's becasue of the auto aim. Whenever u shoot someone, as long as ur aim is someone near the target, u automatically "locks on " to it. This auto aim makes sniper easy to use and takes no more skill than battle rifle. the reason no-scoping takes skill and is hard is because it has no auto aim.

My suggestion is--take off the auto aim for sniper, but also, make it so that u stay scoped even if u get shot.

taking off the sniper autoaim will increase the difficulty of sniping, make sniper a truly "skill weapon" , but it would be too weak if u get knocked out of scope when u get shot, so make it stay scoped.

just a suggestion

Actually it's harder to use when it unscopes, when I spawn only with a SMG and a far ennemy aims at me with a sniper, I try to shoot it, even if one bullet out of 10 reaches him, it makes him unscope his zoom and he can't snipe me, and when i'm near enough from him I throw grenades at him. That worked a couple of times.

i personally thought that the sniper from battlefield was one of the easiest to use snipers because mouse + keyboard = no autoaim needed.

keep things the way they are. the sniper is perfectly balanced the way it is. the sniper is a long range weapon, it doesnt need to be a skill weapon. even with autoaim you still need a decent amount of skill to ill with it.

Sniper Rifle is hard to use without a scope. Some people just have good aim with it.

It depends on the gameplay control of a sniper rifle in each game, not the rifle itself. Sniper Rifle=See target, look at target through scope, pull trigger. It's not so much as a thing to do with "skill"(god, stop using "skill" as an excuse-a game is supposed to be fun).

I agree with what you said about the sniper rifle's scope shouldn't disengage whenever you get shot. Without shield, yes. With shield, maybe it'll knock you a slight bit off target.

As the veil of lunacy descends, as past and future blend and shuffle, one image appears and flickers through the landscape, wraithlike. It is the Hatchling, the Newborn, walking the path of corruption, a lone figure shining in the toxic shadows. She comes dressed for war, and her wrath is terrible.

^^^Yeah, cause I know when I get shot I still have the composure to keep looking through the sites.
