{{ | {{:SRS99 series/Gameplay|In multiplayer, the SRS99 can be highly effective at close range in the hands of a skilled operator, as the highly damaging round is just as powerful at close range; a single round followed by a melee strike will kill a hostile almost instantly.|Rounds fired by the SRS99 leave a trail that could be traced back to the sniper's location.}} | ||
===Changes from the SRS99D-S2 AM in ''Halo 3''=== | |||
*Increased damage against vehicles, destroying them with four to six rounds. | |||
*Has a thumbhole stock rather than a pistol grip. | |||
*Updated colors. | |||
*Scope is smaller. | |||
*Can neutralize a Scorpion tank in two shots, one to destroy the canopy, and a headshot to kill the now-exposed driver. | |||
===''Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary''=== | |||

*In the ''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]'', the scope shows the identity of the weapon's user as "ID-[[SPARTAN-B312|NOBLE6]]", regardless of who wields it. This is not present in the final build. | *In the ''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]'', the scope shows the identity of the weapon's user as "ID-[[SPARTAN-B312|NOBLE6]]", regardless of who wields it.

*At the beginning of the [[campaign]] level ''[[Nightfall]]'', the player receives fifty rounds instead of the default maximum of twenty. This is a tribute to the level ''[[The Truth and Reconciliation]]'' from ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]'', in which the player begins with a larger-than-normal number of sniper rifle rounds. | *At the beginning of the [[campaign]] level ''[[Nightfall]]'', the player receives fifty rounds instead of the default maximum of twenty.

*The weapon's reticule bloom has almost no effect on gameplay. However, its accuracy is not 100% perfect due to bloom. This can be proven by enabling the ''Bottomless Clip'' option in gametype settings, then firing the rifle as fast as possible. Eventually, the reticle will be fully expanded, proving that each shot is very slightly skewed. | *The weapon's reticule bloom has almost no effect on gameplay.
