Outdated: The Sniper Gun shoots too far: A Thread on Destiny Sandbox Balance

[quote][b][u]Disclaimer:[/u][/b] This thread is a year old and is wildly out of date.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]

  • What the -blam!- are you doing? If you ask them to nerf the sniper rifles, they will overnerf it like they did to the plasma launcher in the Halo: Reach beta when people bitched about it being unfair. That weapon was useless by the time the full game was released! Nerf it and the Hunter will be useless! I don't want two character choices instead of three because of the Hunter's nerfed skills! Nerf -blam!-ing space magic out of anything! One magic bomb annihilated that gameplay demo boss in a second.
