People are going to use whatever gives them the edge, and in Trials (and Elimination in general), snipers are significantly more powerful than other options. If IB is fixed people will just resort to camping in their spawn for special. It's the way it is unless Bungie decides to rebalance certain mechanics inherent to the mode (such as revive sniping).

Revive sniping is so underhanded and stupid. I don't think they should change the IB, just make it so if u change weapons, u don't have ammo. It's already a drastic drop in ammo if u change from a sniper to a shotty once in game, let alone If u do it again. If u change weapons in game more than once, even if u have full ammo, u have zero ammo.

The problem with revive sniping is that the risky part should be the revive itself not surviving after revive. If they just nerfed sniping, then Crest and LBN would be very OP. In my opinion, the fix should be a longer immunity window (allowing escape after revive) and a longer time to revive (2 sec or 1.5 with Crest/LBN). That would make the snipe target the reviving player rather than the one being revived.

That's actually a good point, and I have to commend you sir, you are talking like a true game programmer, rather than a whiny little kid wanting to get the edge.

On these forums everyone talks like they are an expert software engineer. "Bungie should do this", "it's easy to do that." People have no clue how much work goes into game development and how a seemingly small feature could take significant resources to implement. I am not a game designer, but I do have the common sense to recognize how the pieces fit together to some degree (some programming experience helps too).

Lol, try camping vs a good team of puchers and see how you do.
