In the original Halo Multi player maps there is a maximum of two weapons you can wear. Depending on the game-type you start with one ore two of the 9 available weapons.
There are two ways on setting the sniper as starting weapon.
First is per game-type, second via mod.
1 . Set Sniper as starting weapon per game-type option
1.1 Edit game-type
Before starting an in game Halo server , go to edit your gametype.
You can see the available list of game-types in the game type list.
You can access that list from the Multi player screen:
