these are two of the main weapons of both halo 3 and halo 2 and the sniper is present in all games as one of the most effective
having said this most people tend to either need serious work or some fine tuning. soi have decided to share a few tricks to improve the use of these weapons.
(if you have mastered either of these weapons you need not read on)
anyway lets start with my best weapon the sniper:
some things you should know about sniper are that the sniper has a "kill box". this means that if you swipe the retical over a person and shoot you have a high likelyhood of getting a hit. this is due to the auto aim which will slow your retical down while it is on the enemy.
you should also know that the starting point of the snipers retical is just below the head on an anemy at almost any distance, so you can aim a little bit higher to score easy head shots.
and finally most people will either use a "bad strafe" (aka back and forth movements that are entirely predictable) or no strafe. so moving with your opponents instead of moving your actual retical makes aniping much easier.
for the sniper i would reccomend a low sensitivity\
now for the battle rifle:
the battle rifle is a 4 shot kill weapon and is extremely effective at all ranges.
a good br requires a good strafe (see strafing thread) because most people will die with a br even though they are good with the weapon because they do not stop to think and strafe. this leads to easy 4 shots for the other guy.
also for those of you that do not know you can hit a person 3 times any where in the body but as long as the last shot is a head shot it will be a 4 shot.
now for long range never use the scope unless the enemy has not yet seen you. i say this because if you do zoom in and the other guy gets the first hit you will become unscoped and your retical will be somewhere off in space while you are getting killed.
Practice methods:
to practice the br i would reccomend that you download the map br stadium from my file share (the gt is DRAGUN FYRE1554) and the game type that i will enitle practice. (will be available as soon as i get back online.)
also pm me if you would like help with either of these weapons will get back to you as soon as possible
