Not to try to ruin the heat of the moment. But the Sniper Rifle does register more than ya think. Take my buddy [url=http://www.bungie.net/stats/Halo3/CareerStats.aspx?player=SM00BERS0N]SMOOBERSON[/url] for example, he doesn't appear to be having any trouble with the weapon so far. BTW, notice that he has almost half of his Sniper Kills with headshots. However, I do in fact agree with your statement. But just remember that Halo 3 is still new to the gaming world and still has alot of unsolved bugs and glitches that need to be worked out.
