Snipers are just as cheap imo, you sit there waiting for people to walk into a choke point/flag. It's pretty easy and you're away from combat.

Id rather be sniped off an objective than have me and possibly 2-3 others being blown off a flag to kingdom come by a corner camper using Nova Bomb

It's kind of unfair to generalize us. I, and quite a few other people who use snipers don't camp, and only use them to pick of enemies at mid to long range. I've even been forced to use it at close range when someone with a heavy shows up. I only use my sniper to deal with long range encounters, but for the highly packed zone attacks where I'm in the front lines, my trusty hand cannon is much better for those situations. If I were to compare the amount of time using my hand cannon vs my sniper in a match, I would say that most matches would be 80% hand cannon, 20% sniper. However, I will agree that camping takes no skill and over all, is just really lazy. Maybe if Bungie cut the spawn rate of special ammo [i]*wink wink, nudge nudge*[/i], then maybe these complaints wouldn't be so numerous.

Generalization is often a poor move but it's true, Snipers in general run the outskirts of the maps, watch choke points/ Cap points. I'm not saying you shouldn't play like that, I'm just saying it's no more difficult than using a fusion rifle or shotgun. I suggested special ammo changes a while ago, the issue isn't the weapons themselves but that they can be mained as a primary.
-
The point of a sniper is to tactically hold a point from long range. I usually try to do this. It often means camping. I usually get a nice fire running
-
Again, not saying it shouldn't be played that way, only that it's no less cheap than a shotgun. I could say "Well a shotgun is supposed to be used in close combat and well sometimes I have to hide in a room."
-
Actually a shotgun is meant to be used while mobile IMO. The shotgun can clear a room and then you leave.
-
A shotgun is for CQB, running out in the open willy nilly is not how it's intended to be used. But alas, I foresee a stupid comment on your part, this will likely be my last reply.
-
Fair enough. I usually like to suck behind cover, reload and sprint/slide to the next point of cover. They then either come to me or I run out sprinting and sliding in order to avoid death and invective them until they die. Usually works.
-
I strongly agree. Special ammo spawn rates need to be severely changed.
-
yes, aiming for the head in a shooting game is cheap. the nerve!
-
They're not difficult to use.. Especially with the fire rates.
-
Yeah and I bet the blocks you play with in your special class aren't difficult to use either.
-
Strong insult, I main a hand cannon you degenerate.

lolllll
