  • Sniper rifles r good if used correctly. like in cobonation with the scorpion tank or rocket launcher. just to give the other guy a chance, you know....

  • I am a sniper, and a darn good one. I usually own those who I see in my cross-hairs. Unless I am playing 1 on 1 with this one friend, he always gets me because he uses the and looks at my screen, whats that tell you? On Xbox Live, I shall own him. ~SO

  • I could make you spin in a circle from the other end of the board or just as easily gun-but you. Plain and simple- I'm the best.

  • bad halo player: doesn't understand the game play, the weapons & how they work, the way the vehicles work, or how to use the levels average player: may not know much, but has the gist of it, lacks a bit of practice & isn't all that knowledgeable about some of the intricacies of the vehicles/weapons/game good player: pretty clear on how weapons etc work & how to use em great player: kinda has a matrix thing going, knows their weapons/vehicles etc with Halo you gotta understand that if you can kill someone, they'll have a go at you at some point, but that doesn't make a weapon or anything else 'pussie' because to use all weapons properly etc, takes skill, if someone tried to mow me in a hog & kept missing, that'd be laughable, but if they got me first time, fair play to em, same for snipers etc, you get me first shot, good job, now I'm after you, 2 shots, still, well done, anymore... starting to be lame... nothing in halo is 'pussie' really, its just making sure you're not the pussie, because if you are skilled, you can use anything effectively & thereby make it useful & a valid method.

  • if they had the sniper they would not say that about themselves only because you dominated them and using a sniper is dam hard you can miss and blow your cover remember halo is covert and non-covert

  • They were pretty easy to use in Halo, but I heard in Halo 2 the sniper rifle has a big recoil, that makes it much harder to hit consecutively.

  • Im a pussie... That doesent mean I cant break my foot up in your ass and literaly scar your for the rest of your life. If you dont like the way halo is played, dont play it at all. We dont need another one of you who spam the New Mombasa with "OMG NEW VIDEO!" or somthing -blam!- ed up like that.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DunWun SNiperz can kiss my BLEEPIN BLEEP BLEEPITY ......i hate them the only time i use the weapon is 4 close range lololool......HARAY for the cheif in the tank blow that MF'ER AWAY LOL BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.....Death to all sniperz![/quote] You'd be amazed how useful a sniper rifle is in close range combat if you are skilled enough to do so. It takes a great deal of dexterity, but headshots are just as effective at killing your foe from 8 feet away as they are from 8000 feet away. And I greatly appreciate knives answer to the header question- amen, brother. And if others are using tactics that you think are "cheap", than if you can defeat them, then it is more power to you. There is always going to be those who, in your eyes, use cheap tactics. You just have to learn to overcome these tactics.

  • Hey dude in halo anything goes, if people didnt want you to dominate in halo they should of went to the game edit screen and changed the weapons its their fault so just keep doing what you do and they will either get really pissed at you or they will get better and learn to beat you or they will learn not to try you in halo ever again!

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CabooseMoose7103 You just don't like the fact that someone can completely pwn you with a tank. Tanks are fun and half the time the people driving them are just doing it to either escort somebody else, draw attention from somebody else, or just to be stupid. BTW the machine Gun doesn't do ANYTHING at long range. About the only thing it does is soften a target you have cornered so you can finish them off when the rocket finally reloades.[/quote] First off, i have never been owned,in a literal and gaming sense. i was just saying that guys in tanks are -blam!- and nobody wants to acknowledge that fact. i can still kill the tanker w/ a sniper rifle or ghost. it doesnt matter. the point is, a tank driver, compared to a sniper, IS a -blam!-.(ps. im in school while doing this in case u were wondering) BEOTCH!! j/k

  • Their probably totally pissed off how good you are. My friend is an ace with the SR. He seems to be able to get head shots without even trying. This really pisses me off at times, and i might slag him off for not being able to do anything else, etc, but in actual fact im just getting pissed about dying for the third time without knowing where he is. He is actuallyu the best player out of all of my group. I wouldnt say they're for wusses, they're for those that can use them, which unfortunately doesnt include me.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] JohntheSpartan in my opinoin, a guy w/a sniper rifle vs a tank is braver then a guy in the tank. cause u have to sit still and wait for a shot, whilst a tanker may be lookin on your screen to blast u to hell(god forbid should they decide not to look on your screen) also considering the tank has the 50cal. machine gun plus the cannon, the tanker, in my PROFESSIONAL opinion,is the -blam!- of the pair.[/quote] You just don't like the fact that someone can completely pwn you with a tank.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] JohntheSpartan i know that there r the good and the bad, but,in ur opinoin, r they 4 -blam!-? thats my favorite weapon, plus a shotgun[/quote] No, their just like people who complain about camping. They just get mad because they can't do it very well and you can. Plus you said you dominate the game so they may get jealous. [Edited on 10/27/2004 7:07:50 PM]
