While I like mixing up enemy variety and gameplay scenarios, dying to a sniper is always really cheap and often involves an instant death before you even know they are there. And then many more deaths after, usually. The snipers in Halo 5 were pretty annoying I thought (but not as bad as Halo 2).
Thoughts on keeping them, removing them, or nerfing them?
I like them. They add another layer to combat and force you to be more careful, punishing you if you just run out guns blazing.
I don’t mind the jackal snipers or Promethean BiRi snipers. So long as they have a decent glare on them so that you can quickly recognize them from afar it should be fine.
Snipers are a unique enemy type and add a fun challenge to the game, I think they should stay.
Sniper Jackals yes, Beam rifle no. Focus Rifle instead, pls.
I didn’t have a problem with the BiRi in either Halo 4 or 5.
