Destroyaaa Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 Remember team snipers in halo 2? Starting with a Human sniper and the Beam rifle was the reason team snipers in h2 was so much fun. The beam rifle was better than the human sniper back then provided a quick 2 shot kill. In halo 3, for some reason the game did not allow you to spawn with a beam rifle. I do not understand how this happened, but not having a beam rifle to start with in team snipers made it slower paced. I would pick up a beam rifle whenever I found one on the map, but it wasnt the same. Halo 4 needs the beam rifle back or a sniper similar to it. The focus rifle in Reach was just awful. It takes forever to kill someone and you need to hit them with practically the whole thing before it overheats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haloman 2 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 I 1 hate team snipers I thought it was boring and I hate to admit this but I suck at that game type. And i'd agree that the focus rifle sucked so much because everyone is bad with and no one knows how to use it and in fire fight the jackels had them and just kicked your butt whenever you noticed them and was about to snipe them.

The human sniper shot sooooo much faster, and the beam rifle would leave people on the floor before the enemy knew what hit them. Another reason I don't like the sprint ability. Give people an ability that allows them to move rapidly, but give them a sniper rifle that's slower. Yeah, that makes sense. People keep talking about tactics, well I'll share a little something. Those people never played halo 2. The weapons were so quick with the fire rate that you had to KNOW where the whole enemy team was or you would die the second you went out of cover. NOW all you have to do is sprint and you can duck and dive between cover with pretty much no risk, no tactics, callouts? no that important. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink Lemonade Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 ya miss switching between those to weapons all the time, fire two shoots from a beam rifle and then immefiatly switching to the human sniper rifle. I agree it should be brought back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carts Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 I wouldnt mind seeing the RoF from the Halo 2 sniper to return as well. Would only make sense to keep a balance between it and the beam rifle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedStarRocket91 Posted March 8, 2012 Report Share Posted March 8, 2012 What I'd prefer to see is settings customised so that only a headshot will kill. The actual weapon used doesn't really bother me that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The actual weapon used doesn't really bother me that much. There are ways around that in which you can customize. You could have your shields regenerate at a really high speed so that the person wouldnt die unless it was a 1 shot kill (which in your case would be a sniper bullet to the head). In halo 2 you could change your handicap for similar results. But yes it should just be an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
