Outdated: The Sniper Gun shoots too far: A Thread on Destiny Sandbox Balance

[quote][b][u]Disclaimer:[/u][/b] This thread is a year old and is wildly out of date.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

  • It's still to hard to judge at this point, simply we don't know what the damage ratio is for snipers and we haven't seen any gameplay. Not to mention we don't know there structure of the pvp arenas or areas etc... If there is any, So I would consider discussing this when we actually have info on snipers and pvp
