{{Main|Sniper Rifle}}
*Maximum telescopic zoom reduced from 10× to 8×.
The Sniper Rifle is a [[Precision weapon|precision]] [[power weapon]], which fires highly damaging projectiles at near instantaneous speeds. It features two levels of zoom, and a magazine of 4 rounds. This makes it a powerhouse at long ranges, capable of killing most enemies, including enemy players in multiplayer, with one headshot, and outranging other weapons like the [[Battle Rifle]] significantly. To compensate for its power, it is a relatively rare weapon, and ammo for it is difficult to find.
 
=== Changes from ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' to ''Halo 2'' ===
*Minor cosmetic changes and shorter overall length.
*Decreased the maximum reserve ammunition capacity down from 28 to 24.
*Medium telescopic zoom increased from 2× to 5×.
*Night vision function has been removed.
