As this arguement goes on there really is no simple way to fix snipers. They supposedly work as intended according to bungie. Adding more flinch could help and reducing base aim assist across the board could be a good start but year one never had aim assist problems and snipers were just as good back then. Stability would need to see a reduction. Descoping would reduce sniper usage overall to somewhere along the lines of nonexistant so i dont think that would be a good move on anyones part.
