Uh, thanks for the tip.
Why would 343 make the reticle any smaller? It’s a one shot kill to the body! That’s basically like making a shotgun that can kill from any range!
why not? just line up body position to the gaps in the reticule to center it and fire, would take some adjusting but its entirely possible.
The narrowing of the skill gap continues. You don’t even need headshots for sniper insta kills now.
> Good. It’s a one hit kill no matter where the shot hits. Not being able to no scope is a blessing.
I’m not trying to say this is a bad thing, not by any means. I just noticed that it was a pretty clever way to balance it’s power. Unless you have the Chief’s luck, you’d better zoom in, lol.

Good. No more no-scoping and two-shot per reload are good since it’s a 1sk. Now top that with less ammo…
Personally I wish that all sniper rifles had no displayed reticle when not zoomed in, or maybe a large one like that of the binary rifle, not a big fan of no scope sniper pros. I find it irritating that the gun can be used like that and I always have, although I do understand the feeling of getting an awesome no scope it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest if 343 made it that much harder to do in Halo 4.
appearently its not a one shot kill, in the new Vidoc an elite minor survives a body shot.

… no

Well elites may be stronger than Spartan IV’s, it’s a one shot in multiplayer for sure.

Please explain how a sniper that kills with one shot to the body is NOT narrowing the skill gap.

if its extremely hard to aim with, alot harder then the regular sniper and has less clip size and ammo then that somewhat balances it out.
I remember reading just like the Boltshot, the Binary Rifle is a multi-purpose gun, a shotgun up close and a one hit sniper at long range.
Would explain the large reticule.

Hard to aim? Even with zero aim assist it is OP and promotes unskilled gameplay.

If its hard to aim then it requires more skill to land shots on target AKA making for more skilled gameplay

which rewards skill and punnish lack of skill.
how ever, i don’t know its full implementation, it could be easy to aim with which would be trouble some 
Are you saying it is hard to body shot your team mate with a sniper in Reach? It most certainly is not.

Not this again…
It’s not about good players “adapting”, whatever that means. It’s about the fact that lesser-skilled players are given increasingly easier opportunities to get kills against other players.
Please stop using “adapt”. Certainly if all you play is Infection, and all “MLG players” play is MLG, you could probably beat them in Infection the majority of the time. That’s not what we’re talking about.
OT: I wondered whether there was a smaller reticle in those poor-quality videos. Thanks for clearing it up, and I’m glad there isn’t one.

How is it OP and promotes unskilled gameplay?? The weapon is a one shot kill. and has a huge reticle while not scoped in. Kinda seems like it’s balancing it out. And plus, there is no garante that you will even get the binary rifle to play with for any game. just like the sniper. If you ask me, the binary rifle seems like a promethean stand point of the spartan laser. 1sk anywhere.

NO, you need certain conditions and rules to play well aka halo 2, but this is not and if you cant play halo reach or halo 4 or what ever they you are not good at the game, if you can only play with 1 rule set then you cannot play the game, its like if im amazing at swat but nothing else i cant say im MLG and sick at halo, cus i can only play swat, and that is what you guys do all the time
