Ice Breaker in Trials of Osiris?

Tl;dr - Something needs to be done about Snipers in this game. I don't know why but I find it incredibly cheap to use Ice Breaker in Trials. I love the weapon, but people are making me hate it. I sort of want to go with Bungie and leave the OP weapons behind, to be remembered as the greats of year 1. I'm okay with that. But if so many people are using Ice Breaker in Trials for the ammo regen in first round, then I think all in all it means that snipers have grown to be a problem. So much so that teams literally rely on them more than their primaries. Trials has been sooo infested with Snipers this week. I had a failed flawless run, a successful flawless run, and then tried to get a low level friend some gear through drops... I got so frustrated from playing against nothing but snipers in every game that I had to stop playing. Edit: I main a sniper as well most of the time. I love them. I'm good at sniping. Was one of those fullysik quickscopers back in the MW2 days.... Snipers are the hardest special weapon to fight when you're not using a sniper yourself. You're almost forced to try and out snipe a sniper. If you run at them you get picked off.. If you try and contest with your primary at mid to long range, you're probably screwed. The fact is, some people are nuts at sniping. There are some real freaks out there. If your team isn't as good at sniping, the chances are you have no other good options. You can fight shotguns with primaries if you play smart. Snipers how ever just need a head glitch and they're good to go. I know this is a difficult issue to tackle, because nerfing just makes other things stronger. There has to be a way to make sniping more punishing. Give snipers kick back, like you're forced to unscope or some shit. Give us a class with a super than can target people through walls and launch a fkn lightning strike from the sky on them to make them move out of their hideyhole. A team of competent snipers are extremely hard to fight against... Especially on Widows Court when they get the good spawn next to the church. I mean really, that maps spawns are really unbalanced. People at the top get high ground but they have to go out into the open to see whats going on, whereas the other spawn get TWO buildings they can move around in. RaNtOVeR

  • This is an old thread, but it still holds true. I am not a great sniper, I will admit that. However, when trials is nothing but Icebreakers, it can be really frustrating. Seriously, as you mentioned earlier, you have to out snipe a sniper in order to win. We have a pretty good team, but only one sniper among us. I guess I just have to keep watching my K/D ratio drop.

  • I played ib with shotty and mida and never had a problem with a snipers. Trials I've went flawless on widows court only with 2 shotguns and 1 sniper. It's all about positioning.
