Honestly i think that if snipers could one shot off of a hit to the torso they would still be underpowered compared to other weapon types. Because of the extremely low max sensitivity in this game, a sniper is handicapped in any sort of close quarters or midrange engagement. It takes hundred of hours of training to start getting consistent headshots in a game with predominantly close quarters maps and a highly flexible movement system. Imo anyone can pick up a controller and go on a 5 kill streak shotgunning in close quarters, which requires no precision, only some basic evasion skill and an understanding of where the 1hKo dropoff range is. I've spent a lot of time sniping in various first person shooters like halo, battlefield, and the old cod games and it feels like destiny has mechanics in place specifically to make sniping as difficult as possible. The way turn accelleration works makes me think that bungie intended to limit the effectiveness of sniping in almost every situation except extreme long ranges.

You have to be a terrible sniper. If you have any sniper with QuickDraw or snapshot you can literally drag scope anything. There are some shots I've pulled in this game that have me sitting there thinking I have to be cheating to hit these shots and I'm maybe an above average sniper at most.

Yeah i'm definitely a terrible sniper in destiny. Trying to get better, its really the low sensitivity that throws me off. 10 in destiny is like a 3rd of what I'm used to in Battlefield or Mw2.

You should try sniping in bo3. That'll really test your skill. Mid zoom, 0 aim assist sniper vs ttks under .5 if target is mobile, less than .25 if prefire or ads. Sure it's a 1hko and you can rock a high sensitivity but you'll only get that one shot.

Edited by XxSwampDad420xX: 4/3/2016 8:37:02 AMHaven't checked out bo3 yet, i'll have to give it a shot. I didn't like the way rifles handled in bo2 but 3 looks a lot better. I used to be pretty clutch in MW2, i could consistently win rounds with the bolt action rifle. The average assault rifle in that game killed in 2 bullets so i felt pretty boss. Unfortunately it's been taken over by hackers so I'm trying to get good at destiny. Can't play for 5 minutes without someone turning on aimbot or activating so many cheats the game crashes.

The only 2 shot ar was the fal. Everything else was 3 to 4. The fal was fire though...
