A question about the Sniper Rifle

Games Other Halo
1

OHAI. I’ve been on these forums quite a bit lately, and it’s probably where I get the vast majority of my Halo 4 info from (I think the game is looking pretty awesome so far) - but I have a question about the Sniper Rifle that I can’t seem to find an answer to, so I was wondering if anyone here knows the answer.

So in Reach the Sniper Rifle was a very good anti-vehicle weapon (especially against the Banshee) and it always kind of annoyed me in BTB/Invasion. Will the Sniper Rifle in Halo 4 behave in a similar manner? Or is it more like it was in Halo 1/2/3 in that it’s really only designed for infantry combat?

I’m not really here to debate whether it should or shouldn’t be effective against vehicles, just looking for an answer really. :slight_smile:

No one knows,Haven’t seen any game-play using sniper rifles to destroy vehicles,so in this case we’l just have to wait and see.

The ONLY thing we know is that Banshee health has been bumped up due to its slower movement, although that’s barely related to your question…

Well one thing we’ve recently learned is that different parts on vechicles have a differeny number of hp assigned to them that adds to the total number of vechicles hp. I’m not entirly sure how this will effect weapon use such as the sniper when going up against vechicules.

I’m a huge halo nerd, and i know that the sniper rifle is going to be like the one from halo 3 and reach it’s going to be effective against vehicles but not as effective on vehicles as in halo reach. Now you have to remember that could change it at anytime. Keep up the work 343i!!

I like it. You have to waste an entire clip or maybe more to take down a banshee for one kill in Reach, I think it’s fair.
