Talk:SRS99C-S2 AM sniper rifle

From Halopedia, the Halo wiki

Suggested Merge

I am suggesting that this article be renamed "S2 AM Sniper Rifle" or "SRS99-S2 AM Sniper Rifle', and merge the articles about the SRS99C and the SRS99D. They are just two variants of the same sniper rifle, and do not deserve seperate articles any more then the M16A2 deserves a seperate article from the M16 article on the real wikipedia.

Facts Confirmed

  • On 07:25, 19 October 2006 User:Vlad3163 had some issues with this article, including, "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.". However on 02:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC) they were resolved:
  • I did this, I created this article. --JohnSpartan117 01:59, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Dispute? I undisputed this article. Whoever did it, didnt even have the balls to say why. Seriously! Play the damn mission and see!--JohnSpartan117 06:03, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
  • A new name then?Ok...if the name is the problem, just rename it to "Extra Ammo Sniper". --JohnSpartan117 03:32, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Ok, let's think about this for a second. The Sniper wasn't actually carrying any more extra ammo-it still had just four shots in it each time. JOHN was the one with a little extra ammo. So maybe he used some EB Green to tape a little extra on himself, or we could go for a stretch and say one of the Marines held some for him. The gun itself is not special in any way. InnerRayg

Is the halo1 sniper rifle and its halo2 counterpart the same? They can't be for instance, i think i heared the ammo amount you could carry was different (possible resise of ammo, or due to mc's new suit), also 4 definent there is NO night vision on the halo2 1. Bold text

Quad Shot

Isn't that telling people how to cheat. Yazelflech

Flood: It is completely useless against the Flood in Halo: Combat Evolved.

It's not COMPLETELY useless. 99 shots will kill a Flood on Legendary. I'd call that useless, but not completely. 216.222.183.233 07:59, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

For all intents and purposes, it is completely useless. You don't even have the ammo capacity to squeeze off 99 shots, let alone that much time to do so before you're charged and overwhelmed (assuming you're at close to medium range). 11:25, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

'Snipers don't do that'

The quote given is correct; the suggestion was to add a looping animation triggered by a timer if the weapon was scoped and then left. Snipers don't fiddle with their scope in the field for no reason while looking down it. The 'proof' given in the claim the statement is wrong states that in specific situations, a sniper might make adjustments to a scope in the field, if there was a good reason to. This doesn't refute the statement; there's never any recon data given, so no way to adjust with it in mind, and since the scope is impossible to 'off' there's no argument for readjustment. McLees is right; in the situation in Halo, a sniper would never adjust their scope.

It can only be said that if McLees' quote is read in a ridiculously over-precise manner it is not technically true of a series of variables which aren't in the game and thus he had no reason to be talking about because they would only be present when a marksman was engaging a series of pre-scouted targets, as opposed to a sniper engaging targets of opportunity.
