I think this goes in the matchmaking forum sorry if I’m wrong.
Ok so I have noticed that the sniper does not fire nearly as fast as it did in halo ce, halo 2, or even halo 3. I’m assuming they did that because it shoots too fast when aimed in.
In reach, they slowed it down but that was ok because in order to kill someone you had to pop their shields first, then kill them.
In halo 4 it still shoots slower. However, in Halo 4 you die faster (at least I think so) than you did in reach. So if you get in close quarters with someone who has a BR, the BR will almost always win. They only way to beat it is shoot then pummel or get a headshot.
So I think they should keep the fire rate the same when scoped in, but speed it up when no-scoped. That way you can have a better chance at killing someone up close.
Does anyone agree? Or have you guys never thought of it?
Those situations where your being rushed with only a sniper in your hand can be tough, but this was done to prevent people from just shooting the sniper back to back without and just two shotting people. In my opinion The whole point in the sniper is to takeout targets from a distance with accurate head shots. You will just have to shoot and melee or do your best to go for the head. Good Luck.
I like how the sniper rifle is now, it fired way too fast before in the other games.
It needed punishment to equal to the beam rifle’s over heating.
I think it just depends on how attached you are to the Sniper rifle in matchmaking, I’ve hardly used it in my time on the H4 servers. But, IMO, the rifle definitely has a different feel to it from past games. Whether it’s the sound of it (Which I REALLY thank 343 for improving on with ALL weapons I love the sounds of the DMR BR and AR in Halo 4) or the way it’s designed. Honestly I wouldn’t rely on it for close quarters, hardly anybody would but. Just all I can say if you’re gonna use it. Pick a spot, get comfy, stay hidden, stay alert.
Play octagon… You’ll learn how easy it is to use the snipe in CQC… No scoping has never been easier than in this Halo.

It does not seem different to mean IMO man, but IMO the beam rifle is a totally different story.
