Outdated: The Sniper Gun shoots too far: A Thread on Destiny Sandbox Balance
[quote][b][u]Disclaimer:[/u][/b] This thread is a year old and is wildly out of date. I have left it as is to represent my thoughts at that point of time, but compared to what we know now a lot of them are VERY VERY silly.[/quote]

[quote][i]"Is it me or does the sniper gun just have way too much range? Just because its accurate doesn't mean it needs to shoot far. I mean Tiger Woods is accurate, but he doesn't pull up from half court and score a grand slam now does he?"[/i] --Anonymous User (Deleted), June 7th, 2008.[/quote]He's right you know. The Sniper Gun does in fact shoot too far, and while this might not have been a problem in Halo, it most certainly will be a problem in Destiny if steps aren't taken to prevent the Sniper Rifle and other longer ranged weapons from completely dominating the sandbox.
I encourage the reader to join me on an speculative journey as we embark to figure out exactly how Destiny's sandbox might work compared to Halo.[quote][url=http://www.bungie.net/en-us/Groups/Post?groupId=19148&id=60597516&path=1]Click to continue reading to the second post.[/url][/quote][quote]Edit: If you don't read the entire thread and instead skip to posting a silly response, I reserve the right to laugh at you.[/quote]

5 RepliesIs it me or does the sniper gun just have way too much range? Just because its accurate doesn't mean it needs to shoot far. I mean Tiger Woods is accurate, but he doesn't pull up from half court and score a grand slam now does he? The sniper is too powerful from far away. I mean every game I'm in there is some noob off to the side just sniping everyone. I was playing on Boneyard and the noob didn't even let me charge up my laser. He just noob shotted me in the head. Bungie, there is something wrong here. Last game on the Reflection me and my little brother rushed Rockets and shotgun when the game started, but this noob didn't even follow us. He went straight for sniper gun. And then me and my brother got killed by some DMR noobs and they took our Rockets and then that sniper noob just kept killing people from the side. He had almost all of our teams kills. I got so mad at him for stealing my kills I went up and betrayed him because I wanted to show that idiot I don't deal with noobs on my team. Then I picked up his sniper gun and wasted all of the ammo. I'd rather have 5 kills and 20 deaths with skill weapons than going 20-1 (I guess I was the only one that could kill that noob) with that noob sniper. So thats what I did. I showed him that I have zero tolerance for noobs on my team. It takes no skill to use a sniper, you just shoot their head once. I think you should improve a gun that requires more skill. Thats why I think you should give the shotgun more range. Not as much as the sniper gun, but about as much as the DMR. This way skilled players like myself will have a chance with these noobs. Its impossible to take out a sniper with the shotgun. Another way to change is to add some spread to the sniper gun. That really showed those DMR noobs. I think it could be very good in stopping the sniper gun noobs. bulldogs69 8/29/10 Originally posted by Naked N00B
