We just can’t win. Any gamemode I try there’s always some over the top garbage. I quit the instant I saw the skewer/mangler loadout.

Couldn’t agree more. On maps like Aquarius that are already dismal for snipers, having the bulldog in means it’s a shotty mode, not a sniper mode. No incentive to use sniper when it’s basically a CQB map and everyone gets a shotty.
Would be fun if we had mode select! But we don’t.

Thats 1 of the problem. Add desync and high ping to the equation and there you go. The bulldog is more reliable in CQB maps.
We’re not even addressing the big problem with snipers in this game. That stupid lens flair makes counter sniping unnecessarily frustrating. You can’t even see the top half of the enemy you’re trying to shoot

The lens flare is suicide, the point of sniping is shooting from concealment, not to notify the entire map where you are. I only no scope snipe and even without the light your round streaks can give people a pretty good idea where you’re at. I get having the lens flare so that people aren’t just being obliterated by by snipers but I find the flare is just too much.

Sounds like someone’s upset about people beating them in a game.

i think its more the map layout where to use a sniper and where not.
if we take halo 4 ragnarok in a shotty snipers game type then the sniper is good usefull since it has more long range in the layout and less close range layout so the sniper is good for that game type more to use then a shotgun.
if you take complex map from halo 4 in a shotty snipers game type then the shotgun is the best weapon to use there since its more close range and almost has no long range.
its more in each shooter game that long range weapons like the sniper are compleet crap in a close range map with a lot off buildings.
same with the shotgun that is compleet crap in a map that has more long range and less buildings and so.
I hate HI’s sniper rifle due to the low fire-rate. Also, correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t the Shock Rifle also have a faster firing-rate than it does? I could’ve sworn it fired much quicker in the first few months after launch.

Boy, you’re sure whiny, ain’tcha. If I was any good with the sniper I’d be picking everyone off with it instead of crying on the forums that people aren’t playing the way I want them to.
If I’m not using the sniper rifle it’s because I hate it lmao it SUCKS. It’s dogshite compared to the previous games. I’ll use the skewer and actually land shots with it. Sniper? Just call me Leonard Church because rounds and rounds of weapon drills and in-match use haven’t done squat to make me any better.
inb4 ‘you just suck at sniping’ no it’s Infinite. Even in other games sniping doesn’t suck near as hard, I’ll land headshots all day. Idk what they did to the sniper in this game but the experience is atrocious.

Oh my god thank you.
You have the longest reaching stick in the game and you’re getting beaten by the shortest? By a cudgel?
Wow.
Okay, you’re Diamond I so you aren’t bad, but I’m honestly shocked - because I sure as Hel do not ever see the Sniper rifle at our level.
I tend to use the snipe as much as I can in that mode, but how can you get mad at others for using the shotgun. It is one of two weapons in the mode.

Maybe thats due to the glare possibly being to much of a risk but what do i know i didn’t play rank that much and only played it when my friends were online and wanted to play infinite something that stopped happening after the launch of season 2
I’m pretty good at halo
Is it? Why do they put a shotgun in the mode then?
If it is a warm up for ranked why don’t you spawn with a sniper in ranked? Hell- why do you have the firing range in the academy if this is not to practice with - you guessed it - a specific weapon.
Just because you use the playlist to warm up for ranked doesn’t mean everyone else does.
The shotgun makes the gamemode more accessible. Some people like the mix between ultimate long range and ultimate close range weapons. They like being able to switch between a scoped in headshot and to quickly flick to a shotgun to take out that guy they can hear behind them. Some people want to use the bulldog in order to complete challenges. Some people just want to have fun.
So there you have it. Post addressed and all issues answered. You’re welcome. If you really have a problem why don’t you get better at countering shotguns with a sniper rifle - it would be good practice for ranked after all….
Hell - you could even use the firing range to practice with the sniper rifle…or set up a private match with teammates in a custom game

Its shotty snipes, it its fair game, go out touch grass or something. Plus is the best place to go get bulldog chalkenges done.

Team snipers is slow enough

They should add for everyone a max start 6 Frag, Plasma, Spiker and Dynamo Grenades for each person in shotty snipers LoL.
It’s called Team Snipers. It’s not called fiesta or Action Sack. They should be separate gamemodes entirely. It still wouldn’t matter if they were separate because you tryhards would still be sprinting around, sliding, and going for melees. H3 had these types of players, and H5 was worse because of the abilities. People like you are too dense to realize that when you actually go up against somebody that’s actually good with the sniper you won’t be able to do anything because you failed to put in the time with it yourself. All those shotgun kills were for nothing. You’re telling me to touch grass when you probably don’t even workout and have zero muscle mass. Just stop. Come back when you’re ready put on your big boy pants and try again.
I’d be higher if I kept playing it but I wanted to get Diamond in both. It’s ironic how much easier it is in crossplay with mnk to rank. Probably because I’m getting actual teams. Solo playlist is awful and borderline unplayable.

If the S7 feels slow and clunky you might try change your zoom sensitivity settings. Put your 5x and 10x zoom sensitivity modifiers at 1.2 or 1.3 and see how it feels.
