Everyone seems to really love snipers pro, and it just turns into this huge, sloppy, close range battle a lot of the time amongst players who have no idea how to snipe
why not make the gametype snipers pro a match that goes to 75 and gives 2 points for a sniper headshot and thus rewarding people who actually snipe verses this huge melee/body shot war that the playlist has turned into?
Please don’t mess with snipers, it’s the only playlist that is any fun in Reach IMO.

Snipers and Swat have the closest thing to balanced gameplay because there are only two options for Armor Abilities.
Team Snipers still needs some updating. Snipers Pro should be weighted to a ratio of 4:1 and always appear in the upper slot. There needs to be better map selection for Snipers also. It’s like I see Reflection and Uncaged for the voting options everytime.
I miss the large scale snipers games we had in Halo 2 and sometimes Halo 3. The only large map for Snipers I see is Hemorrhage.

And hemorrhage always ends in one team being spawn camped, or very slow gameplay.

how would the change i proposed make it ‘less fun’?
i agree hemmorage is awful
Even the smallest of changes sometimes can have the biggest effect on how people play.

so people not melee’ing the crap out of each other in snipers is a bad thing?
Honestly it just provides more targets for me to shoot in the head. It means more people running out into the open, in which I can snipe for free kills.
to be honest i think that would be a better scoring system because when you try and snipe theres always someone who just shoots randomly hoping to hit you so your scoring system sounds pretty good i agree.

Imagine on reflection. The key point in snipers is the upper area the lift takes you to. There is often plenty of melee combat going on up there. I can just aim my sniper up there and get a few free kills on the guys running around up there punching everyone that runs up there.
343 STUDIOS!! CMON UPDATE THE MAP ROTATION IN SNIPER!!! YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY LIKE PLAYING THE SAME MAPS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER!!!
WE BOUGHT MAPS FOR A REASON TO PLAY THEM!! ADD THEM IN THERE!!
ADD THE SICK -Yoink- COMMUNITY MAPS THAT YOU DID FOR TEAM SLAYER!!
GOD -Yoink!- IS IT REALLY THAT HARD???
SOMETIMES I WONDER…DOES IT TAKE ROCKET SCIENTIST TO FIGURE THIS CRAP OUT…
All caps = not taken seriously.
And I agree with the OP’s idea. I mean, if there is any playlist at all that should make use of the bonus points for headshots, it’s Team Snipers. After all, it IS called Team Snipers and not Team Bodyshot + Melee.

God idea for a game type but no need to replace Snipers Pro. Make it a new gametype. Give 3 points for an assassination because the worst thing a sniper can do is let someone get behind him.
Temporary speed boost for a headshot and temporary overshield for an assassination? Too far?
Id say the overshield thing and speed boost are a little to far cause if the person sneaks up behind 2 or 3 snipers than he can kill them all realtively easily by just assasinating the first one.
