I hope 343 has enough sense to add a new sniper rifle or just bring back the beam rifle. I also would like to see a new shotgun. They need to make one of the regular rifles have 5x zoom instead of all of them being 2x or make them both with attachments.
Bring back Covenent sniper riffle
I really hope that they dont give the sniper too much bullet magnetism and auto aim. Sniping in halo reach is a joke and halo 2 was also pretty easy. Instead I hope that they make it like Halo 3 or Halo 1 with hitscan.
I think most of the weapons will be hitscan.

The only reason sniping was considered “hard” in Halo 3 was because Halo 3 had woefully bad hit registration. Shots through the centre of an enemies face would either register as a body shot or not register at all. Rarely would it register as a headshot when it should have. The only time you would consistently get headshots was when you aimed at the peak of the head.

H2 and Reach used hitscan. not H3. Reach has good detection but a HUGE hitbox which is the problem. The mechanics of the hitscan are perfect.

Oh i didn’t say it was hard. I’m just saying that the sniper felt like it had less auto aim and bullet magnetism while scoped and unscoped in halo 3 then it did in halo 2 and reach. Couple that with the hit registration like you said, and it made it harder. But of course we all want good hit registration. Which is why i said hitscan.

No, i know that lol

Halo 2 was by far the easiest game to get snipes in due to the bullet magnetism. You could clearly miss an opponent’s head and still get the kill. In Reach, you do actually have to hit their head to get a snipe (lag aside, and Reach definitely has the least laggy multiplayer), the problem is a combination of slightly larger hitboxes and slightly slower movement speeds. It’s still nowhere as bad as Halo 2 was.
As much as I rocked the Halo: Reach sniper, I think it’s best that they return the Halo 3 sniper. It took more skill and all the more because of lag (laughs).

No way. The amount of bullet magnetism is almost the same in reach as it was in halo 2. Reach however has HUGE hitboxes and more auto aim. You definitely don’t have to hit an opponents head to get a headshot in reach. And don’t even talk about no scoping in reach lol.
Ok 343 its been 3 weeks where the hell is my sniper (gametype) in match making

Are they bringing a sniper gametype back to Halo 4? It’s one of the most awesome gametypes and now I have to go back to Reach to play!!!
