A friend and I have noticed (in-game) that getting sniper kills is probably the easiest out of all Halos (yes, even easier than H4 and H2A), which is way too easy IMO. Has anyone else noticed? I’m not saying it’s an easy weapon to use but it just doesn’t seem to be that much of a skill weapon anymore.
Personally, I’d change it to Reach’s difficulty, or any other Halo just not as easy as it is now.
Oh it definitely is. I suck with snipers in every game, I’ve no patience to use them. I ran around no scoping everyone in my first game of shotty snipers yesterday.
I’m glad me and my buddy aren’t just seeing things haha
In Shotty Snipers at least everyone has a sniper but in Arena and Slayer games there’s only one Sniper on the map. I can’t really say it’s game-breaking since it is possible to shut him down with your team (or if you’re sneaky on your own) but it is definitely annoying getting sniped more than any other Halo before. Sometimes it doesn’t even feel satisfying to snipe someone.
I was just saying last night that the sniper rifle is to easy to use imo. But I did notice that there is a decent amount of bullet magnetism.
I was decent with the snipers in all halos but in 5 I’m definitely able to get way more kills. Maybe it’s the 60fps?
My bad, I’m not around the forums too often and didn’t see any topics on the Sniper either.
I don’t know what it is, bullet magnetism could be possible for sure, but I doubt it’s because of the 60 fps since MCC doesn’t have the same issue.
It is easy until you meet Players with high level skills.

im not sure if they would be able to change the aim assist just for the sniper… maybe im wrong
No doubt about it OP. A friend and I have always hated sniping but with H5 have seen an uncanny increase in perfect headshots. Most likely a tweak 343i made because they’re stepping into Esports now.
If you’ve been apart of the League of Legends community you’ll find out that when company’s get into Esports it’s all they see and causal player preference isn’t their goal anymore.

I’m Diamond 5 in Slayer, Diamond 2 in Arena and Onyx 1817 in FFA but that doesn’t have anything to do with how much easier it is to get hits and headshots with the Halo 5 Sniper than any other Halo Sniper before. The higher you get the less a solo sniper will have success at carrying a team with snipes alone, sure, but my complaint is more about it being less skillful than previous iterations.

I remember they implemented a system in Halo 4 where they could adjust weapon traits on the fly. If that’s in Halo 5 then they should be able to change it pretty quickly. Either way, when different weapons have different aim attributes (compare Sniper snapshots with Beam Rifle snapshots) changing them should definitely be possible.

Hmm, yeah you’ve got a point. But after seeing Snipedown’s first snipe spree in Halo 5 (Halo 5! Snipe Spree vs CLG + FaZe Enable, impressions, and giveaway information! - YouTube, it’s theater mode so it may seem that his shots are way off but that’s not what I’m complaining about) I’m not too sure if that’s the right direction for Halo eSports, it’s just too easy now.
Yeah same here, Im hitting headshots that were definitely not headshots. But if Im zoomed out it registers like it is suppose to
The hitboxes are far too generous.
Some people might like it, but headshots don’t often feel as rewarding.
YOUR AIMER SHOULD BE ON THE HEAD OF THE OPPONENT FOR IT TO BE A HEADSHOT!!

I do not deny it is easy to land Headshots with that snipe(smilar to H3 snipe),but like most weapons in H5 you can obtain a high skill level,kill faster with high accuracy.
