How Did He Master The Sniper - #6 Snip3down | Halo Top 25

[@robertbenato845]

Only knowing Snipe from Apex puts the craziest perspective on why he's coming back to Halo. Holy shit what a god

[@darrinidontcare9526]

Actual facts. Literally getting memed on 24/7 in apex and the halo community treats him like a god.

[@deankruse2891]

@@darrinidontcare9526 yeah, halo is tactical in a way a BR can’t be. Dominating someone over an entire match/round in a game with symmetry and balance is what makes Halo harder than Apex, as great as apex is.

I love snipedown, he's one of my fav pro's but he is not a top 2 of all time Halo player That belongs to the Ogre's and I don't even care for Final Boss or the Ogre's much But Ogre 2, playing 70 something MLG events and winning 40 something of them with 4 national championships He's the undebatable GOAT, but Snipedown is a certified top 10 halo player of all time without question

[@Juice_grows]

@@PYChamp that is the most absurd reply I’ve heard. Snipedown was one of the best halo 5 players. He was consistently placing top 3 all through halo 5 and was definitely without a doubt a top 5 sniper in halo 5. I will agree that frosty would give him a run for the best but snipedown would be considered the greatest sniper ever in halo since he’s done it since halo 2 in every single halo. The only players that were as good or better with sniper in halo 5 were frosty, Royal2, shotzzy and stellur

[@Juice_grows]

@@PYChamp yeah I already said frosty was a top player in halo 5. You obviously don’t know what happened before halo 5….. snipedown was a top player for a nearly a DECADE before frosty was even a pro player!! So no I would not place frosty above snipedown. He won more than any other player during h2a. He was one of the most winning players in halo 3 and was one of the best in EVERY HALO GAME SINCE halo 2 so snipedown > frosty on my all time list and nothing you say will change that

Snipedown's sniping in 08 and 09 was so ahead of it's time that it took till the ending of Halo 3 in 2010 for other MLG players to replicate what he did with the sniper.

Brilliant sniper Eric was he was insane definetly one of the est snipers to ever grace Halo but Tizoxics Sniper was better as far as pure shot he'd hit shots Id never see snipedown hit, all though snipes hit some of the best and Impressive shots Tizoxics sniper was just nasty. If you've ever seen Tizoxic play against Str8 Rippin online on Narrows that's a perfect example of how good Tizoxics sniper really was.

[@callmecosmic]

If you haven't noticed, this list has been a total PR stunt to showcase the current pros to help push competitive halo for the future of the series. While some of the spots do happen to fall into place, the majority of the top 15 placements are an absolute joke. While I do think some of the current pros are absolutely amazing (as you will find out from where I put them) you simply can't put them at the top of the pecking order ahead of some of the legends. Of course everyone is going to have their own tweaks and personal criteria but we can all agree that some of these spots have been way off. I laughed when I saw Ogre 1, I mean Ogre 11 get placed. His list and mine were very very similar (you can find it on KZbin.) Here is my top 10 1. Ogre 2 2. Ogre 1 3. Walshy 4. Pistola 5. Snipedown 6. Roy 7. Lethul 8. Royal 2 9. Snakebite 10. Lunchboxx This Top 25 list actually has damaging impacts on the legacy of some of these pros and really discredits much of the halo esports scene and its history. I have much more faith in the community list to do right by these players. No disrespect to anyone on or not on the list but you can't deny some of the major snubs.

[@unscarred444]

[@benjamingoodwin6277]

I swear nobody read the waypoint post. 343 didn't make the list nor did H5 pros it was was like 7 or 8 casters for halo walshy was even one of the judges and they created their own separate lists and they created the list in advance to the waypoint post so its likely they didn't understand the criteria that they have on the waypoint post. And just because one judge had you somewhere doesn't mean you will end up there on the official list. Everyone recieved points based each judges ranking. It is very possible we have some people in the top 10 that weren't on judges top 10 at the end of the day they are former halo pros and casters. People will hate and act as if it is 343 doing this, meanwhile there literally the messenger. Lastly go read the halo waypoint post. The list was never meant to be that serious more just for fun in the weeks leading up to infinite.

Frosty is a incredible Beast when looking at H5 ngl, he and his team dominating the game for long long time, sometimes faced by young guns like bubu, shotzzy huke etc. but snip3 is since such a long era on the table. thats sometimes the reason he overshadows frosty, even frosty was or maybe still is one of the best Haloplayer. i still remebering one of the first H5 Turniers, on Coliseum CTF, where he climes over the right side into blue base from the top and nobody expecting him there.... this was such a great play, but looking back just one of a lot of incredible plays by him.
