Yeah it's still a weapon capable of killing you quickly if they actually manage to hit you with it. It's just the Flood Combat Form behavior is to get in close usually. And with any weapon they use they don't fire them as frequently as Covenant would. So chances are they miss the Sniper shot and don't actually fire again before you manage to kill it. Rockets are so much more dangerous than other weapons because the Flood only needs to fire it one time for it be devastating. Same with Shotguns and Swords. And none of them need the precision of a sniper shot.
