swipe snipe

A term in Halo 2. It is where you take a sniper rifle, zoom in and aim at the head. Aim to the right or left a little with the right thumbstick(don't move). Now hold in the opposite direction and press R. If done correctly, you will headshot the enemy, provided that you hit R at the right time. It was first seen in a video on the internet where the author called it "swipe sniping". It is called swipe sniping because you "swipe" the reticle in the opposite direction. It has no in-game benefits whatsoever, but to claim that Halo 1 takes more skill than Halo 2, given that Halo 2 had way more auto-aim than Halo 1 did.

Name1:I like Halo 1 better than Halo 2. It takes more skill.
Name2:But it was all about the pistol!
Name1:Oh yeah? How about swipe snipe, Energy sword, Rocket lock-on, Lunging melee, etc?
Name2:But Halo 2 has Xbox Live!
Name1:How many more stupid arguments will you pull out of your ass?

Snipe Hunt

A snipe hunt is a practical joke that involves experienced people making fun of newcomers by giving them an impossible or imaginary task.
The snipe is a real bird. It is not fictional nor extinct as many definitions claim. The common snipe is prevalent in Europe and Northern Asia. The Wilson snipe is prevalent in North America and is considered by some a separate species instead of an offshoot of the common snipe.

The snipe is responsible for the term "sniper" derived from marksman in England that had enough skill to stalk and kill the fast moving bird. The snipe is very fast and flies in an erratic pattern, making it an almost impossible target for novice hunters.

Since you have never been on a hunt, we should take you snipe hunting.
