Since they changed the sniper in H2, does anyone think that they will change it again for H3, and if they do what improvements would you like to see/

Yah, they should get rid of auto aim, and the close range reticle shouldn't be there, so no scopes are hard as hell. Then give it a cool new appearence. I liked the distance calculator in the Halo 1 zoom mode.

i didnt notice anything different in with the sniper in H2

that which is not dead can eternal lie, but with strange aeons even death may die.

they did change the butt, and the scope, and the barrel, they changed it alot, plus the auto aim.

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

Allow it to shoot further, as it did in Halo 1.

I like the scope more on Halo 2.

I also wouldn't mind having night-vision back.

Other than that. it's is fine.

The auto-aim stayed the same.

Why does everyone think there is autoaim on the sniper?
Its almost exactly the same.
The only changes to autoaim would have been the result of optimization for XBL.

But I would like to see them change the No Scoping.
I think its far too easy.

"There are fighters and there are targets. There is nothing else."

i wouldn't mind having night vision back either, especially if theres a nice dark level to use it on.

-Its a MG42!
-My favorite color is bubble shield

make it yellow, we need a yellow gun

i think its fine but i like the distance counter in H1 and night vision is really cool especially if multi player levels had some in dark.

all of you people are soo full of yourselves, you would be nothing without auto aim


Agreed I may not be very good at the game but I can bet you anyone who takes off auto aim would shoot like crap. Atleast for a while till they got use to it.

The sniper rifle is too easy to get kills with. It is easily the most dominate weapon in the game. (Yes, more than the sword). Id like to see a heavier recoil per shot (no more easy kills with two shots).

too easy? yea if you are a tournament player and play multiple hours every day and have no life, personally id just rather keep my distance or have a shotgun as a backup, but anyways

keep all the weapons the same, and add none! other than the new Assault rifle, it looks like it might be cool

I hope that they dont put the tracer on the bullets this time round.
Snipers dont have tracers.

No, it'd actually be very dumb to put a tracer on a sniper rifle.. BUT, the sniper rifle in Halo 2 would be incredibly easy to kill with without a tracer, since all it would be is:

BAM. tink BAM. tink BAM tink (still don't see the tracer.. little bullet holes appearing on the wall next to me.. ) BAM-Face-melted.

If have read the manuals. then you would know that its not a Tracer.
The Sniper Rifle is Gas powered.
Its smoke that follows the bullet, not a tracer.

And it adds some balance to the Sniper Rifles.
That way when you die, your team or yourself have a chance to see what direction the shot came from.
Its actually quite brilliant on Bungie's part.

bolt action
definetly

and they should change the rounds so they are a little smaller for a larger clip. Maybe 5 rounds instead of 4.

lol, no i'm not 100% sure but i wouldn't make sence to put tracers on them don't you think?

scene 1:
As he slowly moves towards his target and puts his next victim lined up with his crosshairs. Not to move. Not to be seen.
He takes a moment to make sure its a perfect shot.
he gently squeezes..........*BAM!!!!!!!*......target down :)

scene 2:
"-blam!-!!!!!!, i had a tracer ON!!!!!"....."RUN!!!!!!!"
lol

ps. sorry couldn't help myself.

guys the sniper is fine... the clip size does not need to be adjusted... the tracers that dont exist dont need to go away... etc... night vision would be cool to have back and all but its fine w/o it if there isnt a large dark level in which to use it
