I am very new to gaming (modern gaming anyways). In the first 4-6 weeks of playing destiny I couldn't break 500 points in Crucible. I worked at it and eventually could top the charts... since reduced to middle ranking in IB.
Recently I thought I would expand my skills by learning to be a Sniper, but I don't get how to do it in Destiny.
1) I find that I settle into a spot and end up getting killed by someone with a euros regime or other high powered non-sniper gun... whats the point of a sniper rifle if the other guns have the same range without losing mobility or sight? Am I doing something wrong here? An example would be sniping by C facing B on Venus map (maat mons I think its called).
2) it seems like there are not many snipe points, so if I try to hunker down, I get maybe two kills until I am hunted down.
Tips? Tricks?

Edited by NightMare3883: 12/22/2014 7:22:47 PMThis is not one of the easiest games to pull it off in(PvP I mean). You want to kill the sniper mentality and think more like a designated marksman. Move with the team and use the lowest zoom. Another good idea is to find one rifle you really like and get used to it. You can't really be effective in crucible camping as the maps are not built with traditional 'sniping' in mind(long range, clean line of sight). Hope that helps and good luck! :)
