Kain rising Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Hmm... doesn't look too different if that's what it is. Slightly bigger scope section and no bottom cross piece on the stock... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 I'm not quite sure how you get that rendering from that screen shot. Oh, wait...there's a guy in the grassy knoll too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldorado Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 The rendering is of Halo 1's sniper rifle- "^ Sniper Rifle from first halo." As he said in original post. Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camp Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 OK...allow me to re-phrase: I don't see how you can come to any assumption about what that black thing is in the screen shot. OXM seemed to indicate it was a sniper rifle too but there's simply not enough data in that image to come to such a conclusion. *sigh* You should read the captions and not just look at the pretty pictures. Ok...so I missed the small text. Loose the attitude next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robot Monkey Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Easy, guys. Let's be reasonable. HL2 was understandly upset by a reply that ignored the text of his post. There's no need for anyone to get fired up over a couple of screenshots. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrik Draven Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 It just looks pretty much like the original sniper rifle, to me. If that wall wasn't blocking out the barrel from view, we'd know for sure if it's identical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 If that wall wasn't blocking out the barrel from view, we'd know for sure if it's identical. Oh, good call, I can see the resemblance now. And in fact it appears to me to look like it is the same rifle. Can't wait for Halo2 on Live!

Robot Monkey Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 It doesn't look the same to me. Like Jason said, it looks like they eliminated the bar between the grip and the stock. Saving a few polys? I'd suggest waiting til Halo 2 comes out to see, but I suspect that I won't be seeing the sniper rifle up close. -j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted March 22, 2004 Report Share Posted March 22, 2004 it looks like they eliminated the bar between the grip and the stock. but I suspect that I won't be seeing the sniper rifle up close. We can settle both of these ponderences with a little MELEE action once H2 arrives. :green: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HL2CROSSFIREMOD Posted March 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 JTello, A fellow Irish man! The guns do almost look identical (with the exception of the bar being elimination from the butt of the gun to the handle.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrik Draven Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 Sniper rifles are pretty cool but, I'll be honest, I REALLY liked how the battle rifle sounded, and looked, from the E3 demo last year. Sounded like it had some decent balls, and take down power. Actually, I kinda favored the assault rifle from the original Halo due to the fact that it was a real challenge to use it effectively. I can see myself the new Battle Rilfe ALOT in Halo 2, depending on if the developers let us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 JTello, A fellow Irish man! Yes, I noticed that! And as far as favorite gun in Halo, mine would definitely be the pistol. I am a mediocre to average with other weapons, but put the pistol in my hand and I become a killing machine. I don't get it really, but I instantly become lethal in close range and from a mile away with the pistol. :tu: What other weapons or vehicles are you guys particularly lethal with?

Mark E Posted March 23, 2004 Report Share Posted March 23, 2004 I'm not particularly lethal with any of them, but I do have a lot of affinity for the needler, just because it's such a pain in the ass. Mind you, I was a big fan of the snarks and the hornet in Half-Life too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrik Draven Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 Pharmboy, I think you've got an affinity for bugs! The needler is actually a pretty nass-TAY weapon, if you know how to really use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 The Covenant have their own sniper rifle,which I'm really looking forward to. As for the needler,not only is it a bit more powered up & can shoot a bit faster,it now does double damage - once when it hits you, & after it explodes. Fun stuff is a'coming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
