Since [[Sniper]] ammunition is very rare in the Halo games, each Sniper bullet is extremely valuable. Therefore, instead of wasting [[ammo]] on a charging enemy by using the no-scoping tactic, it would be better to switch to a Battle Rifle or any other weapon that can kill the threat, without wasting the "ever-so-precious" Sniper ammo.

However, while Sniper ammo is pretty valuable in the extensive maps, you want to keep the other team from getting your Sniper Rifle. If you have to spend two to three shots keeping yourself alive, it's often worth it in the long run if you don't let the other team kill you and take your Sniper ammo. The best players will often never get into this situation as they won't allow the other team to get anywhere near them. Even if the other team spawns near you, you should just move and migrate to a better location.

Many players on Xbox Live, view this tactic with hate. They consider it a cheap shot, not only at point blank range but also at mid range as well. It has been known to be as dishonorable as a n00b combo.
