I went into snipers today for the first time after the playlist update and I was just disgusted.
Binary snipers only playlist and beam rifle only playlist? What is that about?! Both of these extremely horrible gametypes got voted for 6 times in a row simply because these guns are so easy to use. Snipers was the only playlist that had some spark of individual skill left in halo 4. Now that is gone.
I was looking forward to the snapshot playlist but when we finally got that one voted for I was disgusted yet again, why would you give us beam rifles and human snipers in a snapshot playlist?.. really? Which one do you think people are going to choose… Whoever’s idea it was to give the no scoped beam rifle that much aim assist, or even aim assist at all should not have any input on the next halo game.
It’s just boring… one shotting people with binary rifles and no scoping every kill with the beam rifle… It is easier to no scope with the beam rifle than it is to no scope… It should never be like this… EVER.
On a side note the new map The Ark is a good map… I just don’t want to play snore fest beam rifle no scopes on it.
I’ll agree on the Forerunner snipers part but apart from that I have really enjoyed Snapshot and Covie snipers. Sure the beam rifle may be easy to use but then again, so is the Shotgun. Every Shotty Snipers game I am in 70% of the kills are a result of the shotgun (which is beyond easy) yet I see no complaining.
I have played one match of covie snipers and one match of snapshot and enjoyed both allot. I even got a nice 241 :3
Glad I got feedback before I start purchasing stuff. Prob gonna stay with standard big team, ctf and ricochet till 5 comes out next year. Campaign too.

They seem to be missing the point with the snapshot playlist… The joy of getting a no scope was that it was difficult… No scoping with the beam rifle is virtually the same as playing the SWAT playlist.
And about the shotty snipes… I always disliked shotty snipes from when it was first introduced. The reason I never complained about it is because the shotgun didn’t break it’s gun role.
The beam rifle is atrocious and shouldn’t even be considered a sniper… it breaks the role of a sniper, you shouldn’t run around and no scope everything with aim assist on a sniper rifle.
Can you contribute your feedback like this on the Team Snipers playlist here please?
