I remember back in the day when Reach first launched, there was a lot of trying to snipe the driver, or the gunner... I pulled the tables and would aim for the hood of warthogs, or the front center of ghosts. It causes a different kind of panic, because they suddenly realize the vehicle is a MUCH bigger target than any one individual is, and usually resulted in them beelining directly away for the nearest cover in a panic. The backs of Scorpions were *very* soft, too. It became a game of if they could get away before I pumped enough rounds into the vehicle to kill everyone on board, 'cuz I wasn't trying to make my lives last a long time. Except Falcon gunners. EVERYONE sniped Falcon gunners.

@@ArnieMcStranglehold I take a slightly different approach when it comes to fighting the Scorpion. Given the long range I always pop off three to four rounds over the cockpit to strip off the cover before landing a single headshot. It's great for when you want to remove the tank as a problem but can still let teammates take a now vacant enemy tank for themselves

5:46 As it turns out, Halo 2 never had/used hit-scan weapons at all, the reason why they are so fast is because Bungie increased the projectile speed of all the human weapons to 400(BR,SMG,Magnum) up to 1200(Sniper,Beam) units per second instead of the 100-250(?) Units that H1 had; and in addition to the wonky netcode, Halo 3's weapons are dramatically slowed down especially the BR which is at 180 or so Units. Then Reach came along and jack it all up to 1200 for every human weapon and its been like that ever since. Great Video as all ways!

Addendum: The actual values for each bullet weapon in Reach are DMR: 3000 AR: 3000 Magnum: 3000 Sniper: 6000 Needle Rifle: 1500 Focus Rifle: 4000 I as Alex Luca pointed out, my initial values for reach are off. So using the Program "Assembly" by Xbox Chaos I checked each weapon's "proj" tag and searched for its "Initial" and "Final" velocity fields. If anyone has MCC on PC you can double check for yourself. Though Assembly does not support H1 and H2:A needs to be decompressed then re-compressed after messing around with the tags.

Literally every time I hear someone talk about Halo 3's netcode like it was somehow whose than Halo 2's I feel like I'm losing my mind. halo.bungie.net/news/content.aspx?cid=14347 Halo 2's networking code was *garbage* for the "host" of a match. It created a distinct and noticeable issue with the behavior of weapons for a client vs a host, as the system always favored what the client saw when they pulled the trigger. This single handedly created Swipe Sniping and a hundred other problems, including inconsistent round grouping on the BR and wonky auto aim on various weapons. The perception of Halo 3's netcode as being worse is because it was vastly more *fair.* Under bad network conditions, it was crap for everyone, but under good network conditions, it was good at the same level for everyone. And fwiw, as pointed out in the Bungie article above, H2's battle rifle and Sniper Rifle were both hit scan weapons as of Halo 2.1.1. Whatever may have happened on the Vista port or the MCC port, it's irrefutably true from a firsthand source that Halo 2 had hit scan weapons. I know it's hard for a lot of folks to grok, but H2 was a garbage fire of a game. The entire campaign structure fell apart and had to be rebuilt two years into development. The multi-player didn't work basically until three months before going gold. The fact that it was playable at all - and most folks don't remember how bad it was prior to the 1.1 update - was absolutelt a triumph, but its failure to deliver on iterating on the brilliance of Halo CE are writ large across its entire construction. Halo 3 is a great effort to merge the two games - one they intended to make (Halo) and one they found a way to make despite years of struggle (Halo 2). It merges what makes both games beloved by their fanbases but still manages to do some new stuff. It's the model that every Halo game should use and aspire to.

I'd love to see "The Evolution of the Carbine." Arguably my favorite weapon, it's basically the Covenant version of the Battle Rifle except it's semi-auto instead of burst fire. I LOVE the sound the Carbine makes, it's basically saying "POW POW POW!" every time you fire. I was very disappointed with the sound change in Halo 5. It's sounds like firing a pea shooter instead of a deadly precision weapon.

Halo 3 is my favorite sniper for quite a few reasons. the green wire-frame on the scope view is one of the best design choices I've ever seen. it looks so utilitarian and as if it were just put together yesterday. there are even pieces of it that look like they have weld based scorch marks on them. the sound is powerful and intimidating you can hear the cartridge hit the floor if you listen close it's generally hard to use but predictable, like it should be it looks designed to be treated rough and beat up like it did when Romeo almost died and finally, I love how the shots bounce and even pass through multiple targets. lucky enough to have that happen quite a few times

17:40 here is the probable explanation : in 3D animation software (and by extension the game engine into which keyframe animation is imported), 3D "Euler" rotation works with three separate values : X, Y and Z -one for each axis. Each axis is evaluated one at a time, this is called "rotation order" -this is a bit hard to explain without pictures, but the nature of Euler rotations makes it so that IF a prominent axis (such as the axis along which the view bobs left and right in Halo) is evaluated *before* another (such as the "view height" axis), increasing the value in the "view height axis" will exacerbate the existing movement in the "bobbing axis", proportionally to the altitude the player's aiming at. This is because animation systems in games are parametric, *ie* reacting to in-game parameters on top of pre-baked keyframe animation. Depending on whether the player view is set to add to an existing (animated) rotation channel or multiply final transformation matrix by the view axis, this is going to look different, and have unwanted side-effects such as this exaggerated view-bobbing. I hope this was somewhat understandable, english is not my language. Here is a good resource to learn more : kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpqUmaWNnaaWnJI

(For Halo 3: ODST) "With the removal of the universally pretty great battle rifle came more room for individual precision weapons to shine and serve their purpose, and MAN the ODST sniper shines. Not only does it retain the incredible animation and presentation of the Halo 3 sniper, it gives the gun a beefy boost in damage, which leads to it feeling more like a long range anti-material sniper rifle." I'm sorry, _WHAT?!_ What damage boost are you referring to? Headshots against even basic brutes won't break their shields on normal difficulty, so I'm legitimately dumbfounded by the above statement. ODST is tied with Halo 3 for being my all time favorite game in the series, but that doesn't mean I'm blind to its flaws- chief among which (for me at least) were some of the lengths the game went to in order to make you feel weaker than a Spartan, especially when it came to our beloved sniper. Maybe it has a higher base damage in the game's files, but if that's the case, then they must have increased enemy shields to the point of redundancy for it, because the only enemies worth using it on take _more_ shots to kill, not fewer.

I’ve never really felt like the Sniper Rifle has changed all that much throughout the series, it’s very consistent. Hopefully the Infinite Sniper brings back the very powerful sound the H2A sniper has.

Oh man, my favorite has to be the Halo 3 incarnation of the sniper rifle. When you spawn with it during the mission The Ark and hear your ODST allies mention a good angle to take a shot, and overall just styling on the brutes, led to some seriously fond memories. The rifle in multiplayer also shined, too, for all the reasons you mentioned. In MCC's PC release I feel like an absolute GOD when I manage to get a shot off on someone. Also, I'd love to see an evolution of the plasma pistol, since in Halo CE you could fire it even faster than the plasma rifle!

H2A's sniper is by in far my favorite iteration. Those "crunchy" firing sounds it makes are just so pleasing to the ears! Though I gotta say that Halo Reach's sniper is a close second due to its ability to take out vehicles, especially banshees given how over powered they are in Reach.

1:44 This part is bullshit, it isn’t because of an “attention to detail” that the sniper performs that way against floods, it’s because the sniper’s damage multiplier is below 1 (I think like x0.3 or something) which means it does a lot less damage to flood.

you should watch bungies GDC talk on the Halo 3 sniper. they literally talk about making it look good for youtube. By keeping the bullet trail longer and adding the BACKFLIP animations when you headshot someone. AAND making the game feel more floaty. kzbin.info/www/bejne/boqtZmapoMhgoZY this is exactly the opposite of what 343 does. they dont care about the small intricacies of these. Maybe i'm wrong and they just dont talk about it. but nothing they do seems to show the same amount of care and work.

My whole theory/backstory for the wire on the sniper in 4 was because in some lore thats how spartans used the scope the wire would plug into the helmet and a video screen would pop up in the visor showing them the scope and what they are aiming at. A example video that shows this is in Halo legends "the Babysitter"

Man, Reach might be my favorite game, but Halo 3 had the best human sniper rifle. I loved the sound the bullets would make as they flew over your shoulder, the way bodies took flight from HVAPFSDS-powered death... Most importantly, I loved the repeated building of obstacle courses to perfectly fire a ricochet into a fusion coil to unlock some kind of gate, or a similar ricochet arena to headshot yourself or someone else.
