How "good" should the sniper be?

This is mainly a poll to see who likes which sniper better.

In Halo 3 the sniper had a headshot hitbox of that being… the head and the head only even the rocket launcher acted almost like a shield for half of their face.

In Halo Reach the sniper could get a headshot as long as the trail went through their head. (example: Shooting someone who is above you up through the body and touching the head = headshot) I found it to be too easy and made for a less satisfying feeling when getting headshots simply because it was almost hard to not get one.

And sorry I don’t remember EXACTLY how the Halo CE or Halo 2 snipers worked… I’m just pretty sure that Halo 3 sniper was the hardest to use

Which one do you want the Halo 4 sniper to feel like?

I want it to be hard to use.

CE. If you missed, you missed. Unlike H3 where you could shoot next to their heads and still get the kill.

H2’s and Reach’s should be killed with fire.

If the trail goes through their head I’m fine with it registering a head shot, it makes sense that if my bullet enters through their butt and exits through their face that they should die.

Sometimes “making sense” isn’t the best thing to base your game development around

Me to… hard in a good way though, not by adding stupid amounts of recoil and slow RoF but by making the hit boxes better and dumbing down the auto aim

In between Reach’s and Halo 3’s. The sniper should not be able to destroy vehicles.

For some reason i could never get the hang of sniping in reach, I had an easier time in H2 and H3.

Oh god op your username is awesome

> Overall, I find that I can be more successful with our Sniper Rifle than I could with the Halo 3 or Reach ones so it’s probably a tad bit easier to use.

That was the opinion of Chris from the bulletin. Easier to use than Reach’s sniper? That doesn’t sound good.

If it’s easier the reach’s… I don’t even know what i’ll do…

Even though the pros said it felt clunkier and harder to use than reach’s

MY BRAIN… :s

Frankie said that it is somewhere between Halo 2 and Reach in terms of easiness to use.

I guess that is okay.

MY GOD! That aim assist and hitbox. Don’t they realize how devastating that is?

At least getting rid of that bloom is a step in the right direction
