To you fine players who can 360 at 10 sensitivity and snapshot my head off without even blinking, to you fine players who just mop up doubles and triples across the map without breaking a sweat or a single entire magazine, how do you do it?
The Halo 2 sniper was pretty on-point, as blocky as the game was compared to what we have now, anyway. The Halo 3 sniper was just as accurate, the bullet would hit where your reticule was, and if it was red and you were looking at an opponent and fired, the bullet would hit them. Reach was kinda the same, but the bloom was annoying.
What in all of UNSC controlled space happened!?!? The Halo 4 sniper rifle feels like I’m carrying around a stack of cinder blocks. I can’t hit the side of a barn with it, and the constant killcams of people taking my face off without even being aimed at me, or even having a red reticule is KILLING ME!! >_<
What’s the trick? Is there some kind of lag with the bullet that I haven’t timed down, yet? Is there a way the bullet will kind of swing if you’re moving the gun whilst you shoot? I try so hard to even hit peoples bodies with this thing, but I’m almost better off with the magnum at long range. What is it that I’m not understanding?
Unfortunately it’s all just a matter of skill, but I feel this difficult to say because the sniper rifle almost feels easier to use for me. The only thing I notice is the bullet travels to the point at which my retina is aiming.
The UNSC sniper is just plain harder to use with the faster player movement speeds, no doubt. I’ve been having more luck with the covie sniper and the binary rifle (naturally).
The kill-cams are kind of glitched. And those people who jump around, close quarters aren’t snipers. They are people with 1 shot kill dmrs. The real snipers are using stealth and hard to find places around the maps, sometimes moving up the battlefield at long range. And to hit the target…just aim at them and hit c:
It’s lag. I have the same problem. Also, the hitboxes in halo 4 are atrocious, and the auto aim in halo 4 makes me sick because it pulls the reticule so much. There is too much auto aim.
I feel that they did change it to be more like H2, because of the beam rifle making an appearance. Love the beam rifle! Although, I never seem to get it in ordinance anymore.
I do think the bullets arent as instantaneous as Halo 2 and 3, but I actually enjoy Team Snipers in Halo 4, I think the Sniper is really easy to use. But I don’t enjoy the close quarters snapshot gameplay…
It mainly skill, but I have found that when i play team snipers the kill cam shows people just jumping around and shooting and getting kills, I call that luck. I am a hard core sneak far range REAL sniper. The people who just jump around are NOOBS. yes i do get in some sniper fire fight but when i get snap shot they will be really close. I think it is stupid and lots of lag. kill cam needs to be improved
no-scopes are just a ton easier in this game. that’s all it really comes down to. the reticule/hit boxes are bigger, and it’s much easier to get a snapshot. i played h3 snipes (my only 50), and was decent at no scopes, but now coming into h4 it’s ridiculously easy. in h3 if i needed to warm up or i’d get torn apart at high levels, and no scoping was pretty difficult if i wasn’t “on”. in h4, it takes maybe like a game or two to warm up and pull of easy snapshots. not trying to say i’m the best, because i’m far from it, but it is for sure easier to snapshot.
