Am I the only who thinks the Halo 5 Sniper sucks? Yes it does still kill, but it aims in too quick. There’s just something that doesn’t give you the same feel that was in every other Halo.
The sniper sucks? The bullet magnetism is ridiculous, you can get a hit when your reticule is nowhere near their body. As for the scope, people were complaining in the beta that it was too slow, so 343 sped it up.
I have always been really good with the sniper, but I have definitely noticed a change, I would normally hit atleast a body with almost every shot and now I usually hit the head with every shot it is much easier. Personally I found the sniper to be easier to use and the beam rifle to be harder to use.

For me being someone who had played ever other Halo. I’d rather the funnest gun to use on the game to be the same. Let me rephrase that, I don’t like how it doesn’t feel like a Halo sniper in my opinion.
I prefer the Halo 5 UNSC Sniper over the one in 4. The one in 4 may have had the power, but the UNSC Sniper in 4 just felt wonky to me. Don’t ask me why, it just does.
It’s too easy to use now. It went from there being pretty good snipers here and there but most players being average with it, to everyone having MLG accuracy. I’ve never felt so intimidated by snipers in any past Halo game. I hope 343 addresses the hitboxes and tones them down

Plus the look acceleration is still messed up too.

H5 is the only Halo where instead of “How did I not hit him?!” it is “How the hell was that a headshot?!”
My only complaint with the sniper is how fast it can zoom in, other than that I like the gun.
The bullet magnetism is ridiculous

Lol right!
If I shoot them in the upper body around the shoulders I get a headshot medal…
It’s honestly a bit too easy to use… and there’s nothing more frustrating that being on the receiving end of a sniper shot, attempting to Thruster Pack out of the way, only for the bullet to curve like 5 feet and they head-shot you mid-thrust.
Halo 3 had it right with its Sniper…

The only thing that threw me off the most with the Halo 4 UNSC sniper was how when you were zoomed out with it was how it took up like ~1/4 of your screen; just with the scope on it.
2 easy to use
definitely isn’t as fun as previous games. Way better than halo 4 but that’s not saying I much though cause sniping wasn’t fun at all in halo 4.

Definitely! I used to suck with a sniper rifle but now I’m popping heads like it’s cool. I’ve shot guys in the chest and been given headshots or shot at someone who is running toward cover and gotten headshots after their body is already behind it. I went on a killing frenzy last night during team snipers on Deadlock with 3 hat tricks. The sniper is way to easy to use. It’s not really a skill weapon anymore it’s just a few guaranteed kills after anyone picks it up.

This 100%.
I just want the flashlights turned off at the scope.
Jesus, light doesnt reflect that much off a scope, and the reason why other games have that light reflecting is so snipers can’t hide in bushes. These maps are much smaller, you have red and blue guys, and there is tracer rounds on the bullet to show people where a sniper is out. I dont need a bat signal also to figure out where the sniper is at.
With Halo reach I could easily kill without even zooming. This sniper looks like it wouldn’t work if it got scratched lol
Idk but i love to snipe in H5,ppl who say easy to use didn’t match with higher skilled players…
