{{FactOrFictionResolved|07:25, 19 October 2006|[[User:Vlad3163]]|Im not the one who disputed the page, but its just a normal sniper with more than normal ammo. If it killed Hunters in one shot from the front, then I would consider it a "super sniper".  Just because the level designers gave you 40 more rounds on a mission where the entire point of the first half of the mission is to snipe, doesnt mean that one sniper deserves its own page.|02:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)}}

I noticed recently that neither this article, nor the article on the SRS-99 AM sniper rifle has virtually nothing, no information whatsoever, on the sniper rifle model used in ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary'', neither articles said anything about whether the sniper rifle model looked like the SRS-99 AM, or even something remotely similar to the SRS-99D S2AM in ''Halo 3''. I mean this is ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' remastered, so things like the M90 CAWS shotgun looks more like the M45 Tactical Shotgun, or more specifically, the M45E, and the MA5B looks aesthetically similar to the MA5C in ''Halo 3'', except it has a larger magazine size of 60 rather than 32, the Plasma Rifle looks the way it did in ''Halo: Reach'', but where is the model for the SRS-99C? There is no information on this. I think the Trivia section should be added with that new little tidbit of data, or else a new section should be made about changes made between the original ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''. --[[User talk:Xamikaze330|Xamikaze330]] 12:20, 23 November 2011 (EST)Xamikaze330

There are two variants of of this rifle shown on this page, both with introductory paragraphs and infoboxes. Why not just split the article into articles about the two variants on this page?

:This ''used'' to be two articles. We merged them back then, and it seems like we were too lazy to make the Halo 2 variant written more like a variant. Their relationship are like the M45 and the M45E. "When I joined Halopedia, we didn't have any fancy schmancy two variants in one single page, we had two pages! Two pages, and a disambiguation! And we deleted that disambiguation!" —[[User:Spartan331|<span style="color:silver;">S331</span>]] [[File:Bubbleshieldhud.svg|14px]]<sub>(The anti-[[User profile:Spartan331|social]]  [[Special:Contributions/Spartan331|contributor]] who [[User talk:Spartan331|talks]] too little.)</sub> 23:01, 29 November 2011 (EST)

I couldn't help but notice that in one of the sniper rifle articles that the little bit of trivia about it resembling its real-world weapon counterpart, the [[wikipedia:Denel NTW-20|Denel NTW-20]], (also called Mechem NTW-20), was removed. The weapon was seen in the movie ''District 9'', which can be seen [http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/District_9#Mechem_NTW-20| here on IMFDB]. Now, why was it removed? It is a valid piece of trivia that is as noteworthy as the MA5 is to FN F2000. Why was it removed? Can we have reinserted please? I'll do it myself when I can, but I'd like to know why it was removed. --'''''[[User:Xamikaze330|<span style="color:Black; font-family: Halo;">Xamikaze330</span>]]''''' <small>['''''[[User talk:Xamikaze330|<font color="Blue">Transmission</font>]]'''''|'''''[[Special:Contributions/Xamikaze330|<font color="Green">Commencing</font>]]''''']</small> 15:34, 22 November 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330

:Lots of weapons in the ''Halo'' universe resemble real-world weapons, which in my eyes isn't really notable enough to mention in an article. Given that, I'm guessing the trivia was removed for not being notable.--{{User:Spartacus/Sig}} 17:20, 22 November 2013 (EST)
