I would really like to know why.
Because they are lame and pathetic and think that anyone who does not play “their way” is a noob. Its simple egotistical BS. Ignore it, use whatever the hell you like and have fun.
I am guessing cause of the AC users that try to raise their K/D… but in the end, alot of weapons are being called noob weapons… come to think of it, about the only ones I havn’t heard about yet is the covey sniper and the carbine… thats just so far. Unless you are abusing it, I wouldn’t worry.
It can be considered nooby compared to previous iterations. I suck with the Sniper and Beam Rifle in Halo 3, but in Halo 4 I´m snapshotting like there´s no tomorrow.
Because many call it camping when you sit back and kill people from a distance with the weapon. You know, what you’re supposed to?
It’s like a lot of players have this mentality that you should be running out in to the thick of battle and snapshotting everyone you see.
Not to mention many just get pissed off when you kill them in any way, period. So, they throw out excuses.
Because compared to the sniper in CE or Halo 3, it is ridiculously easy. Have you tried no scoping with the Beam Rifle? It should be called the Snapshot rifle, it’s that easy.

Be careful not to forget the the sniper is ORDINANCE. It’s supposed to be powerful.

This. It’s so freakin easy to use.

Really? The Covey sniper is the most complained about Sniper in the game. It should be renamed to “Snapshot” rifle.
As APPARITION13 said: “but in the end, alot of weapons are being called noob weapons”. For me personally Its not a noob or newb (whatever term you choose) weapon, but there are some weapons like for example the binary rifle. The binary rifle many can call it a noob weapon because of it crazy one hit kill.
Exactly, each weapon shines in a different light, and when seen in that light, people attack.
bullet magnetism needs to be reduced and being knocked out of scope when shot needs to be readded.

Being powerful and being easy to use are two separate things. The Sniper should be powerful, but difficult to use, but it’s not difficult to use, it’s ridiculously easy.
The Sniper needs to go back to how it was in Halo 3.
This version of the sniper is the poorest of all previous game variations, it sounds terrible and it’s far easier to get unscoped kills (snapshots), it really takes away the majority of skill required of previous versions, and is essentially too easy to use,
Just another issue in a long line of them with this game.

Bro I’ve yet to hear somebody call another a “noob” for using a sniper rifle that you earned.
They made snipers extremely hard to obtain in this game.

While I can agree with you that it is easier, I still think it is better than any other weapon. While it shines at long distance, it’s poor CQC qualities balance it out.
I had no idea people even considered it nooby. It’s a power weapon and should be easy to use while being very effective.

How can something be readded if it was never there in the first place?

Halo 4 Weapon Magnetism
Because the Halo 4 sniper rifle does not require skill like the Halo CE and Halo 3 sniper rifles.

this is what confuses me - the snipper in REACH & now H4 are supposed to be super easy to use but i flat out blow donkey with them.
imho: the way it auto tracks enemies throws me right the hell off. i am confident there was auto track in H3, but it seems to have been ramped up and it is difficult for me to get used to - not that i was a beast before, but i just hate it now.
