What kind of sniping rifles do you think they'll have?

Games Other Halo

First of all I don’t just mean like one UNSC and one Covenant/Forerunner, I mean heavy or light, Semi-auto, bolt action, or Beam Rifle or just constant Beam, and finally medium-far and ultra long range.

There are many combinations possible and although the covenant may make an appearance who knows if the same covenant style weapons will. Let me clarify on the “heavy or light”, based on the vehicles they may or may not have there may be a anti-vehicle sniper required, those vehicles should have a sniper that has you move slower (think detached turret) than one meant for infantry (Random Example UNSC for Infantry, Forerunner for vehicles).

I personally don’t think they should mix any of these traits together because I don’t want a sniper that can 4-5 shot a tank while still allowing you the same movement freedom as a regular weapon.

So as you can understand there may be multiple Snipers needed or almost none at all. So which ones do you think they’ll bring back and what new one will be made/needed?

Hopefully the old Beam Rifle makes a return.

3

so basically, the same sniper (for infantry) and maybe some sort of one-shot like from gow3 to take out vehicles?

4

I just want something that can kill with one shot to the head no matter what range just like the other snipers from games past, I’d go for a forerunner Sniper.

5

They said there’d be more guns than any other Halo game. Maybe the human Sniper Rifle, the Beam Rifle and the Focus Rifle?

6

If the focus rifle makes into Halo 4… then I can not be held responsible for what would happen if I ever got near a 343i employee

7

What no Forerunner? 343 won’t stop there they could make more and not just ones from the older games. (focus rifle was kinda bad but had a cool look it just didn’t have the stopping power)

Something along those lines yes but it wouldn’t need to be zoomed in to shoot or have a REALLY slow reload and shoot time. That’s what I would want them try out.

9

I want an energy carbine. Rapid fire, or charge up sniper shot…

10

I hated the Focous rifle. And Reaches hitscan sniper was so easy that it took no skill and is overpowered so i prefer a halo 3 like system

11

A sniper like Conker’s Bad Fur Day would be great to compliment the SRS99.

12

why not make a sniper that detonates like a grenade on impact? that could be forerunner style weapon.
