the sniper in H3 should atleast have an x2 zoom cos man the x10 scope is -blam!- for big maps, especially Relic

Goodbye limitation!

It's not as much of a good idea as you'd think.

It already has a x2 scope. No to the x20. I'm sure some sniper rifles in real life can hit up to around 15, but for this game's sake keep it at 2 and 10.

Theres nothing wrong with the way it is now......if you can't hit someone whilst double zooming you shouldn't pick up the sniper at all.

It was 2x and 10x in Halo CE and 5x and 10x in Halo 2. Personally i liked the 5x and 10x of Halo 2 better.

These are the pale deaths...

no. it would be too clumsy, then, and there are no guarentees of maps being obstanately bigger to the point that would require that.

Nah, don't need.

I think it would be cool to have a slide scope. Hold the button and it zooms slowly (by .5x) and if you click it - it can jump to 5x and 10x.

Carrots.

Snipers hide away, and than kill people from a realy far distance with a super-powerfull weapon while no one can do -blam!- about it, and charts say that 70% of the Halo community are snipers... that wouldn't work! Even super powerfull long range weapons that give you cheap kills need limitations!

wtf???

i think the 5x and 10x were perfect, but maybe there could be something like a 5x and a 12x

the zoom is fine the way it is, but i don't like how there's a limit on how far you can shoot. i think that after a certain distance the bullet should begin to not be as accurate, and that might even it out. MAYBE.
