In Halo world, everything goes down hill. It does suck that you and most H4 players have missed H2 because it was so much fun. Sniping was fun you could do all kinds of tricks with it too, like the melee-zoom snipe. It's not so fun anymore. When do you see people having low scores nowadays or no assists?
and here i was thinking i'm just good. i get snap shots all the time... takes too much time to zoom in. Never really used sniper much in Halo 3. Never really played Halo before Halo3. i notice the rockets dont fly level anymore in halo4. the needler seems to lock on a lot further away from the target now too. maybe, just maybe, 343 realized many of the people who throw down money on Halo today are 45+ years old. there really needs to be a OPM mode. Old Person Mode. You get these young kids playin with us... we stand no chance.
Because like the rest of this game, 343i wants to make it so that anybody can use everything. People don't want to feel bad when they can't hit a target with the sniper, so 343i makes it easy for them. It's like ordinance. People don't want to get angry about not being able to get powerweapons because they didn't get there first, so 343i made random drops with weapons that disappear in 10 second negating any reason for weapon control. The shots I've hit with the Halo 4 sniper are beyond ridiculous. It's almost annoying how easy it is to use.
