'''Sniping''' is the act of covertly eliminating targets from a concealed or distant position. Snipers often rely on stealth and nearby cover; sniping is rarely performed from an open or conspicuous location. The most popular sniping weapons are the [[Sniper Rifle]] and the [[Beam Rifle]]. Others weapons (such as the [[Covenant Carbine]] and the [[Battle Rifle]]) can also be used, though they are significantly less powerful and have a shorter range. | '''Sniping''' is the act of covertly eliminating targets from a concealed or distant position.

Snipers are particularly useful when keeping a team coordinated. A sniper with a headset can report back to his team, relaying information on the locations of enemies, enemy vehicles, what weapons an enemy team is using, and other hazards. A sniper with a good position can survey the entire battlefield, searching for important events and observing them in detail with a scope. | Snipers are particularly useful when keeping a team coordinated.
