Subject: Your opinion on Camo Sniping in halo 4?

I like Halo: Reach. I think its a fun game. What i DON'T like about it is that the maps such as SwordBase is terrible. I don't hate armor lock, but i can say it can sometimes get annoying. Bloom doesn't bother me either.

Part of being a sniper is maintaining concealment, what's the point of everyone knows where you are?

Not to mention you shouldn't stay in one place too long...

this...

OP what's you strategy? running straight at the enemy with the sniper and hoping he doesn't notice you?


I look for where they are usually always at, and then I put suppressing fire on the enemy and he'll go back to cover and when he comes back out, I do the same thing until he runs to another spot. When he does that, I fight my way towards him with PV and DMR at my side and push from the other side, not the side he was on but the opposite side. After that I kill him.

Wait...

Are we talking about people using the active camoflage pickup in tandem with a sniper rifle? Since when was that cheap?

Or is it some armor power in the game now?

Its a armor ability in Halo 4. I think that Active Camo should have been a power up.

IMO camo should be gone from the game.

NON FACET NOBIS CALCITRARE VESTRUM PERNĒ¢UM

Hmmmmm.....Sniping with Camo, why not? Isn't the idea of a sniper to not be found and shoot from the most advantageous place on the map?

  • 12.06.2012 9:25 AM PDT

-blam!- Was that actually blammed out? Or did I just type it? You'll never know.

cheap tactic
HahahaOhwow!.jpeg

Seriously, if you've ever called anything in game that can be done sans exploits/hacking a "cheap," tactic you should stop playing.

I hate sniping in every regard. It was a monster in Reach, compltely ruined map flow on foot or in vehicles, and is the same in Halo 4, worse now because it doesn't spawn on the map, some lucky person(entire team) on their team get's one through ordinance. Add in the fact that you can just point and shoot anywhere on a target without aiming them and get headshots.


It's the second factor that made me retire from big team. I love big maps with lots of room for vehicle battles, but the DMR still tools vehicles along with two of the three snipers, and since the enemy team always had rigged dice, there's no point in even touching a vehicle.

How is it different from camo sniping in Halo 3? Or Halo 2?

Racism isn't wrong if it's funny.

You know, I've never had trouble with this. Just bait a shot, run your reticle over the source and once you see that red gamertag pop up start firing away.

If there is one camo sniper it doesn't bother me that much but when there are multiple, I want to punch a baby in the throat.

Alright.

It's still not cheap. It's simply not retarded. To do anything else would be a pretty stupid plan. A player shouldn't feel bad for not giving up an ability that is to their advantage.

You realize that it's statistically impossible for the other team to always be cheating, right?

My opinion?

Its a joke that theres even an option to press a button and become invisible.

  • 12.06.2012 10:00 AM PDT

I don't mind it considering I could do the same thing if I wanted to. Also Isn't that the point of being a sniper is to be in a high place and as hidden as possible?

  • 12.06.2012 10:03 AM PDT

People are only now catching on to this?

I laid waste to noobs all day in Halo Reach with the Active Camo + Sniper/Dolphin Beam/Blueberry Launcher combo.

  • 12.06.2012 10:05 AM PDT

I hate camo snipers.

  • 12.06.2012 10:19 AM PDT

Don't LOL if you aren't L'inOL.

Halo: Reach
Halo 3
Halo ODST

Kinda annoying when it happens, but doesn't happen to me often.

  • 12.06.2012 10:28 AM PDT

If I ever see anyone post in a thread "That's your opinion", I immediately lose all respect for them.

Also, if you're discussing a topic with me and you resort to name calling, pull "life checks", or just call anything you don't agree with retarded without giving legitimate reasons, don't expect me to take you serious in anyway what so ever.

"cheap"

lol you sound like one of those guys if they were to play street fighter you would complain that fireballs are cheap.

  • 12.06.2012 10:33 AM PDT

It's annoying, but not really a big deal.
