All the snipers in this game are so easy to use. Seriously feels like everyone’s using mods, NOBODY’S MISSING A SHOT. 343 you have nerf the snipers in some way give them lower ammo so that way I only die 4 times. Especially the beam rifle that thing is disgusting.
I also want know why 343 didn’t nerf the beam rifle along with the weapon tuning, because initially they were going to.
That’s because there isn’t descope.

This. The sniper isn’t the problem. The issue is the user not getting knocked out of scope when shot.
Previous Halo games allowed you to keep snipers in check by pinging them with your rifle, which caused them to descope. Descope has been removed and replaced by flinch. Poor decision IMO–snipers can remain completely unchecked.
I think we need de-scope, and all of the snipers need a little less auto aim. Especially the Beam Rifle since you can shoot it so rapidly.
You can tell that the sniper is kind of boring now, because it is so easy to snipe, for example not that many people even pick up the snipers now on pitfall or even normal maps.

lol, I pick it up all the time. However, it does get quite boring just using them, if you think about it. I do have to say this, I’m a sniper, myself, but i take my time when i shoot.

It’s okay, we can be awesome together.
I’m a terrible sniper too.

I disagree. Nobody avoids the Rocket Launcher or Shotgun because they’re “easy to use.”
I think people don’t pick up the Sniper Rifle for two reasons. First, the maps are cramped and there aren’t very many places where you have a good, long-range view. If you have a Sniper Rifle, chances are you’ll use it more at close range than long range, in which case you’re better off with a loadout weapon. Second, sprint allows people to both scram out of view when they know a sniper is around (which is easy because the maps are so cramped) and close the distance to the sniper very quickly and easily.
Bottom line, there really aren’t very many opportunities to use a Sniper Rifle in its intended role. Even Team Snipers matches tend to take place on maps like Abandon and Shutout and the game actually becomes Team Snapshots.
I’m not saying magnets… but magnets.
they do need to reduce either the ammo on the snipers or increase the respawn time on the sniper rifles on pitfall because right now if you don’t waste ammo you can almost never run out of sniper rifles spawning right under you
The only time snipers bother me is when they kill me at close quarters. As if it’s bad enough their aim is better than mine, they have to prove it within distance of an automatic rifle xD
Sniping in Reach was easier, that being said, i find it a bit sad that now you get a sniper medal for just killing with the sniper, in old Halo’s you only got one if you hit a headshot…
No descope and the fact that the SR is now super easy to use. Seriously, I sucked with it in every Halo game prior to H4, now I’m getting a snapshot in just about every game.
That shouldn’t be happening. At first I thought perhaps my skill had improved, so I jumped into H3 to test it out… I sucked with it.
Like I said: no descope and aim assist are to blame.

I suck with any precision weapon. CQC hammers and shotguns all the way.
and occasionally there is the satisfaction of getting up close and personal with the sniper that just took you out:

Why not add descoping and then add an armor mod or something that keeps you from getting De-scoped. Problem solved, snipers stay happy and people who disliked getting sniped also stay happy. I think it might work, anyone agree? The armor mod is also optional to add to the game, I guess.
armor mods and AAs are terrible keep them out of halo or at least in the next game keep the crap in a different section where i dont have to deal with it.
