How there is now a flashlight on the Sniper Rifle and Beam Rifle? I wish we got the classic white smoke where the bullet traveled where back. It better then just having a big white or purple light coming off giving a way your position so quickly. What you think?
I 100% agree
Yes and no.
Definitely. The vapor trail from the bullet has always felt very Halo to me, and it being gone just doesn’t sit right… even though it’s such a small thing.
My feelings about this can be summed up in three letters and one punctuation mark:
Meh.
In other words, no, I don’t hate it, but I won’t say I like it.
When I’m using said weapons I don’t like it. When I am looking for the other team who is using it I love it.

Agree!
Yeah, the beam rifle still has the trail, so why doesn’t the Sniper? This is something so small that can really change the feel of the weapon.
i think the light is better
I don’t think it’s a flashlight. Isn’t it supposed to be light reflecting off the scope?

I only call it that because it’s pretty much a bright flashlight. I don’t think it is, I think it’s just the Smart link doing some smart scoping.
Some of the other weapons also have lights on them. I think they’re on them to cater to the casual crowd and because the weapons are easier to kill people with so it gives you an early warning system. The sniper with all the bullet magnetism and the hydra with the lock on feature as examples.
yes and no

My thoughts exactly. Part of me doesn’t like it and thinks it gives away snipers positions, but the other way part of me knows how OP it’d be in warzone.
My Solution: Remove the lens flare for the sniper everywhere but warzone. For warzone, some variants will not have lens flare (i.e. Halo 2 Beam Rifle). For the shotgun flashlight, remove it entirely.

It’s a lens flare.
I very much prefer the trail to the white and purple dot of doom.
Well its there and I dont care.
Yes i agree because it is unrealistic.
I’m not a big 343 ranter, but I agree. It’s the small details like the smoke trail from the sniper rifle that should remain in the game in order to give it that classic feel. Also, Is it a flashlight or reflection from the scope? either way, It doesn’t seem like a very necessary change.
Personally I like the sniper glint (yes that is what it is called) but the nostalgic feel of the vapor trail is always great to see
