Something that came across me, why has thw Sniper Rifle's second scope been reduced to 8X? It seems pointless and never made any difference.

Another thing, the PC manual says that the Rocket Launcher has an 8X scope; did that not make it into the game?

The rocket launcher only has a 2X scope. Besides, I think a more powerful scope would be needless on a rocket launcher.

I don't think that the 8X vision is useless at all. It's great for sniping at long ranges.

In Halo 1, the scope is 10x. It has the same level of magnifacation, and in HMT the level is still 10, but it says 8 for whatever reason.

Apparently Gearbox decided to waste time editing things that didn't mater than fixing the crappy netcode. Curse you and your lack of AI syncing.

The European version of Halo Xbox has a sniper rifle with an 8x zoom.

But that's not the point. We're talking about the sniper rifle's 8X zoom, which I don't believe isn't that bad.

The thread starter talked about how 2x and 8x scope makes no difference. I provided input against it.
I see.

8X works just fine for me on maps like Blood Gulch, Sidewinder, and Gephyrophobia.

The sniper on the Xbox does NOT zoom to 10x. It is a misprint. It does, in fact, zoom to 8x. If you were to look at the tags from the Xbox, you would see that the second zoom level was 8. I know this to be a fact from a very long process of getting a Custom Edition map converted to run on the Xbox where a weapon (an AT4, if you're wondering) had a 10x scope. It zoomed further than the sniper, which was unmodified from its Xbox state (due to the way that the map gets converted, the stuff form the Xbox stays)

I always figgured that it went like this: 2x + 8x = 10x.

Dont speak again until you grow smarter. Go out and learn the specifics before you -blam!-. You clearly dont know what you're talking about since you contradict yourself in your main statement.

yeah the roket launcher doesnt fly fast enough to deserve a better scope.

Maw

If you want more magnifacation, I think you can mod it. I think eight is plenty. The sniper rifle has 2x for short range, and 8x for long. Perfect.
Wait a minute, I have 9x on my .22!

You, my friend, are obviously well informed.
