The sniper rifle has a better rate of accuracy but the covenant beam rifle is easier to get a hit with.
... Wait, what ?
For me the beam rifle is easier to get a hit with. the sniper rifle is more difficult.

re: Which Sniper?

I'm almost positive that the two guns' bullets are programmed exactly the same in terms of their accuracy and such, so all this BS about not being able to snipe with the covie sniper is in your heads. That part is all mental.

The beam rifle only overheats if you take consecutive shots very quickly. If you're patient and you pick your shots, you never have to reload, which is extremely useful. Also, its shots' trails fade much faster than the human rifle.

In Team Snipers, it's clearly preferable to have both, since you can start with the Beam Rifle out, switch to human when it overheats, and then switch back to the Beam (which will have by then cooled down) when you run out of ammo in your human rifle's clip.

In pretty much any setting other than Team Snipers, this is a moot point since nearly every map with snipers has human snipers, except for Snowbound.

re: Which Sniper?

NO WAY GUYS ITS TOTALLY EASIER TO GET A HIT WITH THE LESS ACCURATE WEAPON, DUH.

Btw, both guns ricochet, and both have the same accuracy and bullet speed as far as the game is concerned. The difference comes down to whether or not having no reload time outweighs the loss of firing rate.

re: Which Sniper?

In my opinion, Beam rifle's are ez to no-scope snipe with, strait up sniper rifles are good for scoping. Your experiences may differ, but this is the way i think it is.

Covenant is for fighting one person, human is for multiple.

re: Which Sniper?

I prefer the Human sniper I'm a very trigger happy sniper and i hate it when my rifle overheats. But i also hate it when im about to fire my final killing shot and the magazine runs out of ammo. It gets really annoying especially when shooting at a noob that outruns you and makes you look like an idiot.

Human sniper all the way. The Plasma rifle never seemed to work very well for me.

re: Which Sniper?

I prefer the sniper simply because I often miss the first shot and have to take another couple. When I do this, the beam rifle will often over heat because of my fire rate.

re: Which Sniper?

quote Nicks
They both have advantages and disadvantages. Human snipers are better for actually sniping, but are terrible close range, (at least for me) In sniper playlists I always try to get both, because the covie one is easier close range, but not as good long range, (for me).

All in all, the human snipers benefits overshadow the covies benefits in my opinion, fell free to disagree with me though.

I second this.

re: Which Sniper?

I Preffer Human Sniper, It Doesnt Over Heat, But Also Because Its Superior In Long Range, And I Normally Hide In Trees (Thank You Grav Pads), Then I Shoot, Since I Always Hang Out In The Border Of The Map, Not Many People Make It To Me So The Reload Time Isnt That Horrible
