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? [b][i][u]I'd love the community's feedback.[spoiler]Open opinions and actual feedback in Destiny? Lel. Not from this shitty community.[/spoiler][/u][/i][/b](Ocean wave of salt water incoming).

Snipers are already nerfed to the point where shotguns look better.
-
They do not need changing they work as intended. I may start a new thread which asks Bungie to change all weapons to feather dusters so that way no weapon can never kill anyone which is what it seems many players want.
-
Fuc k off. Now that shotguns are absolute wank you've moved on to snipers? Piss off and play something else

Edited by It Is Jason: 10/18/2015 9:14:57 AMIf they are so good why do that vast majority run around with a shotgun all the time, including you. Could it be the vast majority of maps are close quarters? Could it be that shotguns can kill WITHOUT headshots at range, could it be that hiding around a corner is a lot easier than aiming while being fired upon? Hmm seems quite clear why every noon uses a shotgun and think they are good, so let me ask you WHY DO YOU NOT USE ONE? The ONLY thing a sniper has over a shotgun is range, everything else a sniper is less powerful than a shotgun and the reason there is no drop off is because most of the maps are too -blam!-ing small, in combined arms you notice the drop off. Recoil is equal depending on gun Target acquisition is better on shotguns Range better on snipers Aim under fire is insanely better on shotguns Hip fire insanely better on shotguns Difficulty to use shotguns are massively easier Rate of fire equal depending on gun Impact no sniper can one shot to body People who argue snipers are op are idiots, if they are op go -blam!-ing use one and see how well you do, all I use is a sniper because I prefer the challenge of AIMING instead of running up to someone and having a massive area of damage to hit.
-
Disagree completely. Your screen rattles like crazy if people fire at you. I love snipers and shotguns too, but you sound salty to me. Some people are just great snipers.
-
They're fine as they are, and I don't use them. They require patience which in some games, is in short supply. If the problem is with spawn campers, that's an age old problem that's been going for as long as PVP FPS games have been around. We just walk it off and move on.
-
Nah they are fine. Halo doesn't have recoil and you can jump and snipe at the same time in it. Cod has sway but shots are usually 1 hit kills no matter where you place the shot. Snipers are the least of the worries of this game
-
There's 20 reports
-
My sniping montage
-
But they were pretty much unchanged since launch day.
-
Play cod and I want to see your rage posts because just about all snipers are 1 hit kill
-
Op must be a blink shotgunning scrub that get mad when people quickscope him
-
Cocaine is a hell of a drug
-
Felwinters lie lol
-
They only kill in one shot if you get a headshot. All you have to do is strafe and you can usually kill them first.
-
The FUTUUUUUURRRREEEE [spoiler]doesnt have bullet drop[/spoiler]
-
If you're getting beat that bad by a sniper then you need to find cover.

Edited by FlareFL: 9/29/2015 11:02:37 PMWhat are you talking about? Not all sniper rifles have high target acquisition and stability and why the Felwinter's Lie shotgun is in your list, it's a joke or i just don't get it? P.S.: Semi high ROF snipers are shit in PvE and in PvP as you said thay can be used for body-shot action like Scout rifles, but it's pointless, because this action will leave you without ammo very quickly.
-
Ok. Go play cod. Oh wait. Same thing there, hunh? Oh oh, go play...nvm...same thing. Damn...your right. It seems every game in the world makes snipers a one headshot kill...hmm...go play battlefield? I mean it's the only game that deals with bullet drop and wind factors...other than that, IT'S A -blam!-ING SNIPER YOU MORON. MUCH LESS THOUSANDS OF YEARS IN THE FUTURE AND IN SPACE SO WHAT GRAVITY/ WIND RESISTANCE ARE WE DEALING WITH? You wanna be realistic? Ok. Then every planet would have its own gravity. Wind. Weather that effects the same gun differently on each planet. So one planet you snipe right on target, and another you'd have to aim 10 feet over to compensate for heavy gravity? Bungie can honestly make these guns do whatever the -blam!- they want cause this is a time where technology has evolved past our understanding. Just shaddup and don't walk into a open field. You should be good.
-
I like the sway and bullet drop concepts. Possibly even windage. Those would at least give us on the business end more time to notice (and avoid) the scope glow. If they had these additional challenges I'm okay with the one-shot kills.
-
You're right, snipers should be brought into line with everything else. Why does one bullet kill my guy? Seems like i'm forever being one shot killed
-
Edited by SuperAznStoner: 9/29/2015 8:42:32 PMYou're bad
-
I think snipers are fine i rarely die to them. If a team is wrecking u with snipers put on a shotgun and flank. Thats what i do. They wont have a good counter since TLW got nerfed so hard.. Unless theyre using a universal remote which is highly unlikely since thatd cut off their mid range all together
-
If you're getting outgunned by a sniper in cqc you need to put sticks down immediately.
-
When you use a sniper the flinch is verry big whem shot. The recoil is also bigger on snipers then on other weapons. So if you see a sniper just shoot him or run away. Also snipers are only a one hit if its a headshot or the target is weakend. They are not usefull in short range, getting a kill on verry short range is because of luck or because the target is verry bad. And with the addition of high RoF low impact snipers, a bodyshot will only take away 100-120 health. So plenty of time to get away.
