Destiny needs more long range maps
Maps like first light and bastion need to make more of an appearance in future titles in destiny's life time, give the snipers of destiny more room to put their skills to the test.
(No, camping out in the back with an ice breaker, or a high fire rate sniper isn't skill, it's borderline camping)
It's a constant struggle in normal PvP now to actually snipe when you're being taken over by shotguns and Thorn's all the time, (you can check my characters stats. My main weapon used is a sniper rifle (Patience and Time) and I really love to be a sniper in this game), unfortunately there are a lot of close quarter maps. Most of you would say "There are a lot of points in [map] where you can snipe, stop complaining" or "play combined arms".
Let me explain, I'm aware of these spots, however, I'm not the type to wait in them, I'll actually move around to get shots all over the map, and combined arms comes around every couple of weeks, so I'm forced to play in cqb maps. All I'm saying is that I want to see more long ranged maps and maybe even a "big team battle" game type in destiny or future titles.
So if you are a sniper and really dislike having to snipe on shotgun maps 24/7, reply and share your thoughts.
Honestly it feels great to snipe a shotgun user, however I want to go head to head with other snipers, its pretty fun like "damn he/she got me, I'll get em this time" I like sniper battles, so yeah.
One more thing, if you're a kick ass sniper and looking for a group to play with, hit me up on Xbox one GT: Vaencent or find groups in here, be nice alright.

I personally don't want maps as large as that, but it would be fair for people that enjoy those very large maps. These maps are boring, because the games usually go to the time limit. People are afraid to move, because the chance of being sniped by a guy at the back of the map is pretty high. I personally want more medium sized maps. Shores of Time is my favourite map, due to it not forcing you into CQC wherever you go. You can have actual gun fights at range. Rusted Lands and Black Shield are also pretty good for that, too. Destiny has way too many maps that force you into CQC. Almost every map has small corridors and obstacles everywhere. There definitely should be more maps that reward using a scout and/or sniper.

The map size might be ok for the most part if the fireteams had less than 6 guardians. Sometimes it seems like 6v6 is just too much on the majority of their maps and maybe 5v5 or even 4v4 would be a nice change of pace. Most players I see don't have much of a strategy in the 6v6 game types. They simply spawn, switch to shotty, then race to the first red dot on radar to trade off shotgun kills and then spawn again just to rinse & repeat. I don't really have a specific set of weapons I use because I tend to decide on what to equip when I see what map I'll be playing. I'm not advocating to remove 6v6 battles I just think it'd be cool to play something else every now & then just for fun.

I use shotguns predominantly and I too want less CQC maps Something to use my Scout Rifles on and a reason to use cover to approach and shut down my sniper ememies. I remember people whining about long maps like first light and the one on mars so they removed them from the other maps making combined arms. Then they tried one more time with skyshock and people still bitched that the maps were no fun. So now everyone who like those matches is SOL for 2 -4 weeks at a time. All because "Waaaaaaah Vehicles. Waaaaaaah snipes.Waaaaah long Games" This could all be fixed with Custom Matches, but barring that just make more game types readily availible. Why do we have to wait for what amounts to weekly RNG to have the CHANCE to enjoy PVP ?

Love how you call sniping, camping. Tell me again how running around with a long range rifle is effective. This isn't call of duty now. On you're point, though, I agree that the maps need to bigger. Too many maps cater to shotguns and that's why we hate them so much.

I want more widows court maps

5 RepliesEdited by Walshie Nightly : 10/23/2015 11:20:47 AMCouldn't disagree more Edit: I'll expand. First light and bastion are terrible. The matches never finish people camp in the back the entire time crouching with snipers or crouching inside with shotguns. Then you have the vehicle abusers who just fly around annoying everyone. They're Not cool vehicles like halo they're stupid and really underwhelming / easy to kill. You may get one kill before getting wrecked on it only to run to the next vehicle and repeat the process. Why you ask? Because they're bored as hell. For anyone that actually snipes a lot maps like rusted lands, cauldron, asylum, shores of time, banner fall, frontier, memento, the portal map (I forget what it's called) all of these have plenty of space to snipe open lanes and areas where shotguns are good as well. If you're having trouble sniping on maps like this you need more practice. Sniping people with shotguns at close range is way more satisfying then getting into snipe battles imo. Although snipe battles are fun also. Personally the long range maps are boring. Mid range maps keep play quick and action packed which is what I like and a majority of other players as well. At first I didn't like vertigo cuz I got shotguned a crap ton. I'm getting much more comfortable with it now and I'm comfortably able to run tlw and snipe on it which makes it fun. The one map tlw still shines and gives me a little semi thinking about the fun I abused it for in year one. That about it.

Need to find a sniper with decent RoF and a shorter range. My low-grade humility works great for [u]medium[/u] distance. Does work for cqc too but you have 1 shot to take at the head if you miss you won't have to for another or time to swap weapons(unless you have blink. Don't do cqc sniping unless you have lots of practice with your sniper rifle.

Edited by Lance: 7/17/2015 10:21:11 AMYeah, I know. Bungie goes on and on about weapon classes being "optimal" at close to medium range when there are so few long range environments.

Agreed, bring back the big 3 maps .

2 RepliesIt doesn't just need more large maps, it needs to include the existing ones in rotation for all 6v6 modes. I'm not a sniper, but I am a scout rifle enthusiast 😉 I do well with scout and shotgun combo (lord of wolves - I ain't cheap) Will be playing combined arms later (16.00gmt) If your still on ill hit you up
