I think the human sniper in Halo 3 should have a mode where you can see through walls for a brief moment (like 5 seconds) The bullets should also be able to pierce through walls. If they didn't the STWFABM ( see through walls for a brief moment) mode on the sniper would be useless. Well i think it would be a cool idea

Damn, I meant to add a poll. I make one

.. Wait, so the Sniper we've been using has never worked since it didn't shoot through walls?

Odd.

I think they should do it like they do it on G.R.A.W. the sniper riffles are able to snipe through relativly thin objects they could intergrate this into the game have some objects and walls that could be sniped through and some that cant the reticle would turn red if you can snipe through it works well in G.R.A.W.

Well, you did say "The sniper is useless without the ability to see through walls" (give or take)

  • 07.20.2006 11:35 PM PDT

You cant cheat death, you dont live till your ready to die.

I think it should at least be able to shoot through more than one person, like two guys with no sheilds....

I said that it would be useless to see through walls if you did not have bullets that could pierce them

Two guys with no shileds standing one in front of the other... not likely

good idea though

I don't think Bungie would do it, but I agree with you. I never got why your sniper carried semi-armor piercing rounds, and couldn't shoot through wood.

Well, see, wood in the Halo universe is much tougher than standard wood. A few years earlier than the events in The Fall of Reach, scientists genetically transfused metal into the wood, to create some sort of super-wood. This was during the "Super" era. Super soldiers, super wood, super vitamins, super manatees. It was all becoming super. Does that make sense, Zikes?

So are you talking along the lines of infrared or electromagnetic, or what? just seeing through walls kind of sounds odd

Technically it's impossible.. Unless the Spartan emitted some sort of X-ray from his helmet. It's a silly idea, in my opinion, but I'll let you guys put in your opinions.

True. It could happen, but it's not really how Halo is played.. Seeing through walls isn't a big thing they've ever liked doing, as far as I can tell.

Do you guys think that any other weapon should have some "special" power or ability

  • 07.20.2006 11:58 PM PDT

because if seeing is believing,
then believe that we have lost our eyes

ok i think thats a bad idea cause 1. pretty much no sniper can peirce through pretty much any wall. ( if so it would hit the person on the other side with such little force. )

2. playing ctf with a flag inside a base wold be pointless beacause with a sniper like that it might as well be out in the open.

You've forgotten one key thing: Halo is not G.R.A.W.

Yes, it works well in GRAW. GRAW is that kind of game. (And actually, it's only in singleplayer GRAW) Balance would be ridiculous. It'd be very hard to hide from snipers, even more so than it is now.

Is'nt the sniper powerful enough? Way too much power in one weapon with this "seeing though walls" thing...
