Of course, knowing which direction you just took fire from can make it easier to spot the sniper, but in playing Halo and Goldeneye, I've taken multiple shots from the same sniper before I spotted him on occasions (especially artic camouflaged snipers against snow in Goldeneye).So, I'd say that a missile attack from a hidden sniper would not cause the victim to automatically spot the sniper. Instead, each shot would provoke an immediate opposed spot-hide check with a cumulative -4 penalty on the hide check for each shot made from the same hidden position against the same target.</blockquote>
