The tank sniping spot was a bad idea in the first game. It made using the tank less effective and less realistic. If you bring back the tanking sniping feature, you might as well bring back the almighty anti tank pistol, which could take out the tank by firing 1 of its clips at any spot on the tank. If you ask me, the tank in Halo 2 is just strong enough, being able to withstand small arms fire, but not being able to withstand more than 1 rocket hit.
Also, if you remember, with a little imagination on the part of the tank driver, the effectiveness of the sniper against the tank can be reduced in Halo 1. In order to do this, the driver must merely drive the tank into the engagement backwards, therefore not giving the sniper a clear shot of the hatch.
Conclusion: Do not bring back the tank sniper spot.
