if this doesn't prove aim assist is a big factor in sniping then I'm sorry but ...um.... yeah ....

I think that Bungie needs to go further with snipers, they are too powerful (and boring) in ToO. The aim assistance needs to go down and also scopes should be all for long range. If shotguns range was nerf so they are only useful at close combat the same should apply to snipers were all scopes should be useful for really really really long ranges. The zoom on Shortgaze and Ambush scopes should be increased a lot. In ToO eveyone is hard scoping the revive with a 1000-Yard with Shortgaze or Ambush.
