Do YOU as the Community Think snipers are op and why?
-
The only thing that pisses me off is how easy it is to snipe whilst being shot in the head!
-
I may suck with snipers.[spoiler]i only tried them once [/spoiler] but if u know how to aim and sit in the background your golden
-
I think that beginning snipers have a sharp learning curve but once you play around with a certain sniper/scope you can land headshots fairly easily. I think snipers need a bit more flinch but not a huge nerf. Primarys should also be buffed in general when they are going against snipers...

1 ReplySnipers Op? No Primaries underpowered? Yes
-
They do what they're supposed to, got no problem with them.

12 RepliesYou can't address the community as a whole because they're stupid and just going to follow the trend and say they take skill. Nobody thinks for themselves anymore and actually looks at what's happening directly in game.

Edited by juharr: 7/6/2016 12:13:42 PMMy rule of thumb is that if I think something seems OP because I'm getting killed by it and it's pissing me off I'll try it out. If I can just start killing at will with something then it's OP. If I find that it has some type of learning curve then probably not. So, have you tried sniping? If not, give it a go and find out for yourself. And if it is OP I don't go on the forums to bitch about it. Instead I use it to crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentation of their women.

5 RepliesIf you can hit a head shot on a moving target or out snipe someone before getting sniped you deserve that one shot kill. If you snipe someone that is sniping someone else you deserve that kill because they weren't aware of there surroundings. I understand it's annoying getting sniped when you go around corners from people hard scoping but that's why we have the ability to flank or just don't go that direction again. And the one body shot than primary kill is cheap but it still takes some skill. But if I get someone charging with a shotgun it's a good counter.
-
Shotguns...
-
Yes.... but what else would they be? They're snipers. Are they rampant? Hell yeah
-
Body shots should do less it takes no skill but other than that they r fine
-
Snipers are in an OK place. All I'd like are HC rounds back on the Mida so I can counter them again with it.
-
4 RepliesOp? Nah, everything else is just a bit underpowered. Snipers are the easiest viable option in all crucible modes on almost every map, I would like to see body shot damage reduced and rof reduced to make them more of a sniper than a slow rof scout rifle, but they aren't op.
-
Not OP, as they're a sniper and designed to kill someone with a headshot or at least do a heap of damage because the round they shoot are suppose to be powerful.
-
Not OP. Just not many ways to counter them. I have a helmet. Can I get a perk that gives me damage resistance ti sniper head shots.
-
Not op but all the new maps favor snipers and sniper game play
-
No, because I'm not a pussy
-
The ONLY thing that doesn't feel right...is when you're lighting a guy up from close to mid range, and he's tanning shots with that little sniper glare up...boom you're dead... De-scoping after one shot wouldn't work, but after two or three head shots? Seems right to me! Then it's an actual gun fight again...
-
There not op but people constantly just sit there and aim down sights making them really annoying. They hard scope so much I could flank and sit right next to them they wouldn't notice .. I've done it before
-
Primaries serve their role, but not enough due to nerfs. That's the reason snipers are invading everything, The role is small but it's still a necessary role, that's why the guy with universal remote never really gets a high score
-
They make it too easy to snipe in this game. Unless you're using No Land Beyond, your signs are clear and stay rock steady at all times. Flinch doesn't even do a damn thing to throw off a sniper's aim.
-
Only OP because of two things. 1) You get literally 0.000000025 seconds to react the second you see a sniper glare (whether they were hard scoping or not) to move or you are easily headshotted. 2) People are [i]still[/i] sniping in Auto and Shotgun ranges!!!
-
Special ammo is too abundant. Today I was spawn-sniped 5 times in a row by the same dude, before I could even move. On the 6th spawn, I finally spawned somewhere else...
-
2 RepliesSnipers are what snipers should be. A single shot to the head and two shots to the body. They have a scope glare which telegraphs their location. They are only truly effective at certain points on the map or if the enemy stands still a lot. Getting sniped is frustrating, but you're more likely to get killed by anything else. Just play smart.
-
1 ReplyUsing a sniper they seem legit but the last few days I've gone to a sg and I like it it's fun but snipers just seem to have no flinch maybe a primary buff? Shotgun buff idk but all of yup are wondering why snipers camp in the back of the map it was cause of the last idiotic patch WHICH PROMOTED CAMPING if you're going to increase zoom which has no effect whatsoever you're going to promote passive play same with handling reduction it's stupid that y here's so many crybaby es on this game even more stupid that bungie listens to them #ripsunsinger #micdrop

1 ReplyIt's really about the no flinch. Any other fps, you shoot a sniper they have to readjust. I suck at sniping in other games, on this one I can just sit there and headshot after headshot. It's like sniping for dummies.
