How to use Sniper Rifle in Crucible
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?

2 RepliesI recommend not listening to the majority of the advice given on the forum. Take it in and peel away the opinions, looking for facts. Get a sniper rifle you feel comfortable with (test them in pve areas with lots of moving enemies, not in pvp). I like low recoil and a decent RoF, but you might prefer something else. When you're comfortable with your weapon go to the crucible and play. Don't go in to snipe, go in to learn the maps. Look for long sight lines and choke points that you feel comfortable trying to control and practice.
