So... The Battle rifle gained a digital scope, but the sniper rifle went backwards in time and got a glass scope instead of a environment-scanning display? Wtf 343.

Wow we will have to wait and see if there next move is good or bad.

Who designed that. That design makes almost no sense... I thought this was Halo 4, not WW2?

That sniper scope looks like a microwave.
It also reminds me of a spectrum-analyser lmfao.

I have a hard time believing even the most diehard fanboys would like that scope.

Nah thats to good for ww1. It looks like it would fit in CoD black opps 2.

And the hud needs loads of work. theres like nothing on it

The sniper looks good.

If it was in CoD it would look cool as. But its is not. This is halo. But one good thing is they are tring new stuff out :D so good on them

ive played cod. But i dont own it.

XD nice

You are so ridiculous little boy ;)

The Sniper looks good, everything except the scope.

I agree with you :D

BURN IT! BURN THE SNIPER TO GROUND, LEAVE NOTHING BEHIND!

I noticed that, and posted it on bnet with the topic name "SGT JOHNSON CONFIRMED IN HALO 4" and everyone was like HERP DERP HES DEAD DERP YOURE STUPID. No one can take a joke, lawl. This was right when it was announced, and I had remembered that out take.
Halo 4 looks like it should be pretty fun.

To be honest, the sniper scope looks more similar to that of Halo CE than it does of the other Halo's. From H2 on they added in the full size screen, and in H4 they added multiple visible elements, similar to that of Halo CE as opposed to the screen of H2-Reach. I like the deviation from the recent designs. It makes the sniper rifle look like a bulky, cumbersome, and powerful weapon.

Too bad bulky covers up the majority of the screen.

Perhaps to hamper its ability to no-scope, confining it to a more sniper-oriented role.

Usually you spot someone offscope before you scope in to pick them off...

Its really not that bad, it doesn't take up half of the screen, but it is bulkier than previous iterations.

I agree that tech wise it doesn't look as sleek as the Reach sniper, but I still like that bulkier design as something different than the older designs, that bulky feel makes it seem more powerful to me atleast.

all i want to know is, why does the sniper look like it has a dial up modem built into it...

WTF HAVE THEY DONE! That is a disgusting design...

the new sniper actually seems like a more advanced version of the H1 sniper:





they made the actual scope a bit bigger and the display actually readable.
imo it's accurate and i do like it. just wish it were just a tiny bit smaller.

Man, you are easily offended :P

i agree with ya Caboose. I would choose h1 sniper over h4 sniper.

Its a different art style man, just like Bungie did with Reach, 343 is doing it with Halo 4. And 343 is trying even harder to give Halo a different look, just because they want to make new Halo games stand out from the Bungie style. Its a big scope, and it looks different from the old ones. Get over it :P

It just looks like some rusty, fallout themed technology. It just seems awkward when advanced technological architecture present.

I think they wanted you to feel like this: Hey! Lets put you on an advanced forerunner world in which your "human" weapons will look like garbage compared to forerunner technology.

I think its a technique that 343 wants to use in order to immerse the gamer with their world.

Thats just the lighting of the level :P We haven't seen the sniper in any other context, excluding that one little bit of gameplay.

I agree with you on the different art style part. And they have done a really good job so far on making things different but still look Halo and fit in with the general design - until now, that Scope is really really bad and does NOT fit Halo at all... it's horrid and they better change it...

Although tbf, it could just be a bad photo..

Halo 4 best have Fred/Kelly/Halsey/Linda

Maybe, at least a easter egg...

Linda was in Halo Anniversary.

i assume you hated the falcon then since heaps of features were from the osprey :p
