Video:To all those saying "Shut up shotgun nub. You can't make dis post unless you use the OP weapon U make argument against. U can't snipez , cuz you barely even use dem."
Snipers have may be the most skilled, but do they really have a high learning curve in Destiny, if not, a learning curve at all? Let's see why I believe they need nerfing:
-The ridiculous impact snipers can one shot revived enemies, completely ruining the point of over shields on revives
-Very High Target Acquisition makes head shots extremely easy to get
-Little to No Recoil allows for follow up shots to be extremely easy with little to no effort
-No Sway, allowing players to be completely agile and spam fire while maintaining targets
-No velocity limitations (Why would bungie add Hakkë weapons with velocity buffs, yet there are no limitations/mechanics to make this relevant? This applies to all weapons)
-High rates of fire (Similar to scout rifles)
-Head shot hit boxes are big, allowing for ridiculous one shot kills that shouldn't happen (Neck, shoulder, ect)
-Semi high ROF snipers with all listed above.... Really, Bungie?
-Conspiracy Theory-D
-Can outgun regular CQC weapons because of all listed above
-I recommend Nerfing the salty community as well. Nerf cries are running rampant on things that don't even need it. (In short, don't always listen to the bitching unless you actually looked into it.)
Other than that, they're completely fine and only skilled players can use them, right? (Obvious sarcasm) No, but seriously, something needs to be done about this. Anyone else agree?

Want to go to Black Ops 2 or Ghosts? They're so OP that quick scoping is like the biggest crutch ever.

Hey check out this small weapon balancing article. Give some feedback https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/153008748/0/0

No they are not they just need to dumb down aim assist.
-
Dude stop bitching and git good
-
Seriously? Now its snipers are op? Year one was shotguns now its snipers! Guess what ppl, you cant kill everyone, everytime! Odds are your gonna die eventually in crucible! Deal with it and learn to counter. Just because you like to run a certain loadout and strategy does not mean it is ideal for the situation or the loadouts or strategy that your enemies are running! Stop crying foul everytime you get outgunned.
-
I knew it!! people would complain about snipers ever since shotguns got that nerf....
-
The problem is that you are a cancerous shotgun nub, which are still the over lying issue.

Only reason shotguns got nerfed is because babies using snipers couldn't compete close range.wow what a realization actually have to work for it F that just nerf it
-
Lol u suck just use a sniper dummy sheesh prob solved
-
If u think snipers are good now go back to year 1 when we had the vog sniper.
-
If you think you have skills in this game because you can snipe you're a delusional idiot. Shut up.
-
Tip. When being revived the moment you are press duck or jump. Enemy shot misses or doesn't kill you and you escape. Works most of the time.

Edited by Arrg_The_Pirate: 10/25/2015 8:29:40 PMThese (insert gun type here) are way over powered you can kill someone from crazy far range, they reload way to fast, and the perks make multi kills possible. Who at bungie though a shooting game should have a (insert gun type here) type weapon available to everyone. It makes everyone have a crazy high advantage over everyone else. Crucible is nothing but a bunch over over powered people running around shooting other people with the same op weapons. I cannot even play crucible the right way because the guns everyone uses and are available to everyone are so op I feel like I am cheating and don't use them. The only fair way to play crucible is we all get the formal bow emote and kindly great one another. The friendliest team wins

You beat snipers with [i]knowledge.[/i] You know the maps well enough to avoid the long sight lines and choke points that the vast majority of the rely upon to be effective. Don't complain. Adapt. Complaining won't make you a better player.

Edited by The Spartyboy: 11/4/2015 3:28:19 PMDid you not play year one? It was soooo much easier to sniper in year one than it is now. The hit boxes for the head were twice as big and there was basically infinite range. Not to mention that every body and there mother had the unflinching/target acquisition sniper because it was so easy to reforge. And the point about revive sniping, lol, don't get killed by the guy in the first place, or have your team do something about the sniper before they revive you right in front of him. If the dudes teammates in the vid had just gone after you with a shotty, you would have been done for, but those kids just sucked. Shotguns can do the same thing to revive shields, by the way. Do you people just complain about everything you get killed by? "oh em gee this dude killed me with a gun gotta nerf it". Complain about something that is actually something they need to fix, like sunbreakers, or loot tables, or trials. Like damn, guns are the last thing they need to worry about.

Edited by MrMikeyDmason: 11/4/2015 3:00:26 PMI personally like where they are at. Shotguns can one hit kill and do everything a sniper can at close range. All you have to do against a sniper is shoot them first and their sight will go all over the place. Aim assist is messed up though, I'll agree with that.
-
Edited by Pro: 11/4/2015 2:43:00 PMI feel like snipers have received an over all nerf in year 2 already. My head shot percentage has dropped from like 47% to 35% in year two. I can't really say why either. Maybe I'm just getting old?
-
The high aim assist needs to go. I barely need to stay at head level hard scoping to get headshots magnetized from my reticle on the wall next to them. This would let me outgun the bad snipers with my scout again. For many of the reasons you state it's not like they don't already have a significant help using them compared to other shooters
-
Lol that was beautiful and ACTUALLY TOOK ALOT OF SKILL.
-
I agree, snipers are a joke. stupidly fast fire rate for a weapon that can two shot across the map no scope sway so people can hard scope forever and barely any recoil. Rez snipes are fair because fusions and shotguns can also kill on the revive.
-
And in that video it was lagging and you shot immobile targets. So I mean...
-
Snipers do not one shot over shields even to the head
-
I'll agree they need more depth but not by much. They should bring back de-scoping from halo in some form or another.
-
Snipers are easy to counter so stop complaining
