I don't know about you all but I'm sick of trials being broken down to who can camp and snipe. Especially this weeks map. It used to be fun, but now it's 98% sniping and that's just boring. I know people want to win but man-up and come at me!
On a more serious suggestion, whoever gets revived does so and gets an overshield, yet you are still vulnerable to a one shot kill from that pansy sitting on the other side of the map watching you. How about after a revive, you can't get one-shotted? Making the over shield effective. They won't nerf snipers obviously because sooo many people would cry because they would lose their only way to win. But buff the overshield after a revive to resist a one shot makes perfect sense.
I expected a backlash of nerds justifying their cowardess but over 400 replies!?!? What makes you all so mad? My rightness? Most of you sound like you were raised by the Internet!
On a side note I keep being accused of being a "shotgun noob". I prefer fusion rifles to be honest. Check the stats. Also I got about 29,000 crucible kills. Only 3,000 of which are shotty. So...math.
So, 700 comments and 14 of whatever those blue arrows mean later, the young are here still trying to prove their hidey-hole not moving strat is honorable and almost tough. A lot mention a "push"? Informing me that I have to find a workaround mechanic to counter their sedentary playstyle. Or to [i]rush[/i] their side like, "oh no, you gotta find me here holding hands with my teammates if you actually wanna play the game". It cracks me up and y'all have made me rather popular on this forum which I know for a lot of you is all you wanna be! Ha!
To the 11% of the people who replied that share my opinion, thank you, you get it.
Well three (?) days and 10 away from a thousand replies regarding this post, after all the name calling and intentions to assassinate my character and playstyle and after all you little weirdos snooping around my stats trying to use them as a leg to stand on, the Hidey Snipey community has only strengthened my dislike for them. It seems a person who doesn't spare words has no place in this easily offended digital realm. One person commented that my post is "a little forward". I agree, and it's on purpose. Since your egos have been coddled you just can't handle it and my assault on your playstyle is taken with such pain it's comedic. Then I'm accused of it being a "salty, whining, complainer" for even speaking up! Madness! Maybe they thought I would yield, or even worse, be reasonable. My TrashTalk-Fu is strong. I'm not sure what offends more, my anti-camping campaign or the fact that I always have a zinger. As if I base my self worth on my KD (like most of you), it's insulted. You have revealed your hurt by defaulting directly to attacking people who shotgun even if I don't mention it. This is not a debate on which is better, shotty, sniper, fusion, sidearm etc. It's a post against a playstyle that I dont like, one I find boring and cowardly. A flaw in the system that allows one to get one shotted with an OVERSHIELD!!! A SHIELD!!! Fine, take the shield away, it'd make more sense than having one that is one-shottable by ANY weapon.
For those who are unafraid to engage in a chaotic fast paced fight on the virtual battlefield I salute you. To those who slow it down with hand holding and hard scoping, the hiding and then have the nerve to defend it with a righteous indignation...gfy. :)
You all think I'm referring to a gun as the problem. No, the behavior is the problem. You act like cowards when sniping. The sniper is not the problem, the problem is the panty wearers that be holding them. Lol don't deny.

Honestly, this week I've been dealing with the invisible crouching shotgunners more than snipers, so I haven't really cared when I get sniped. I have, however, developed a love/hate relationship with invective lol. I do agree about revive overshields. No one with an overshield should be susceptible to a one-shot kill.

I just went on my second guy running a supercell. Here's a tip, don't go rushing the same door if that sniper keeps tagging you.

2 RepliesSniping on this game is perfect. Needs no Nerf. Two to the body, one to the head. Takes extreme skill and precision accuracy. If anything needs to be done away with, it's some of the perks. Ones like one shot in the chamber does more damage etc... The cheap rolls. They've gotten rid of some already but some others need to go. Maybe they need to buff the overshield after being revived. I'd be okay with that. Means after getting a pick, pushing the orb is a must. Other than that, it's perfect. Only certain sniper rifles can hit you off of spawn. One thing you could do to improve your chance of being revived, without being picked off over and over again, is don't run out into open space. Push up the map and play "smarter". I don't like these "Nerf the sniper posts" because you are the annoying kids who ran the thorn/last word, with a shotty. My only way of countering you A-holes before they finally nerfed that meta, was my sniper ;) If you are a shotty player, who likes to run out into the open like a hero, then maybe it would be smart to push the overtime control point area, with your shotgun and hold it down until the "campy snipers" have no choice but to come to you, near the rounds end. Anyway, the snipers need no nerf. You need to adapt and learn how to play to your own play style. Maybe try playing "smarter". Sounds to me like you're just inexperienced in the crucible or any competitive multiplayer setting my friend. Anyway no malice intent, in my post. In fact I don't like replying to many topics in these forums but when I see anything about Nerfing the only thing that has kept me playing destiny from vanilla start to now, thru all of the other unnecessary nerfs, I tend to get a bit edgy. Pretty much the motto goes in the trials, "adapt or die". Farewell my friends. May the odds in the trials be in your favor. ;) [url=https://youtu.be/J6vZMZCKEfc][/url]

4 RepliesEdited by UltraThub2: 11/28/2015 2:21:30 PMShotguns were never really a problem, people only complained so much because they wanted to run blindly around the map and not get one shotted. (Instead of using better strategy) But one shot revives by snipers from all the way across the map is just stupid. Let me make it simple for all the simpleminded folk. Shotgun to the face point blank on revive=still alive Sniper to the face from across almost any distance (except maybe one or two maps with extreme distance)=kill So your telling me that the overshield can survive a point blank shotgun even with a few lucky crits. But the guy taking a dump across the map can kill you in one shot easily. People will say im salty but honest their the only ones here afraid to take a challenge. I personally love having the rush of split seconds to shotgun/fusion rifle a guy jumping around you or get a multikill while your in the middle of the chaos. Even the split second decision to fire off a shot or risk the melee. I love the feel of being close enough to your enemy that the battle could result in a fist fight. THAT is being a true guardian. Not someone so scared to loose their precious K/D they look down a sniper scope guarding a corpse for most of the game. Dont get me wrong, snipers have their uses, but ive gotten plenty of kills with a sniper while participating in the game and moving around and not just puppy dog guarding dead people because their too afraid they let them revive they'll lose. *throws salt into the air* now troll guardians, troll and cry those salty tears of fear.

2 RepliesI think the problem is that.... Special ammo is far too potent or abundant. It should spawn in rarity like that of the heavy ammo, but in randomized positions away from the spawn of players. That way it'd force people to play a bit differently round after round. Another big problem is the abundance of special ammo you can start off with. Everyone using a sniper needs to start with 3 in the chamber and none in the reserve.

1 ReplyI've got a solution to the over shield...make trials a single elimination match, like it should be! You die, your done for the round! Then we will find out who the best is, it will be the only guy left instead of the guy that got revived at the right time. Until then trials is just a joke imo.

The issue lies in the fact that Bungie can't balance weapons. They need to take off damage fall off to allow faster ttk from a distance with autos/handcannons, remove 1 shot body shots on shotguns and also take off 1hko for sniper head shots. Firefights should last longer not being reliant on who sees who first

Agreed

1 ReplyI love this post. But I definitely agree with you. I don't really mind snipers for good communication with your own team and rushing them screws their playstyle up. As for the revive.. ugh. I've died 4 times in a row because I kept getting sniped after I was revived. You would think an overshield would give me a little bit of vulnerability. But no when I run up with my invective to someone who just revived it takes a whole 4 shots.

1 ReplyAll secondaries should be limited to a certain amount of special ammo per game. Too many snipers who know how to sit back and pull the trigger for an easy kill, but can't ever use their primary and win a gunfight

Put on a 1000 Stare of Aim Assist and you'll be just as good as anybody at sniping. It's okay, I'm actually happy people are sniping over shot gunning.

Ehh, camping a point you control in the same salvage or control is tactical Helping your team's rush by sniping us tactical But when the entire team is using this tactic on ANY game mode (at least three) I leave Simply because playing PvP makes me angry at times (Hell to the point where I nope out)

1 ReplyI don't think snipers are a problem but the overshield ideas might actually be good. I hate to say it but unfortunately some maps get the advantage over others because you can get to the sniping line quicker than the other team. Then if you get the first snipe, you can effectively red snipe that person the rest of the game and end up winning just off that

My friend you just can't snipe can you You probably just try to engage with snipers at long range with a primary
