So there's been a lot of debate on the forums in year 2 over sniper rifles and their effectiveness in PvP.
This poll isn't to see if people think they should be nerfed per se (solutions could just as easily be buffs to counter weapons/primaries), but to just see if people believe there's a problem.
Bungie have obviously made attempts at balancing them already with ammo changes that ended up only jacking up PvE.
So what do you think, is sniping a problem in the current meta?

6 RepliesBungie says that they don't seperate PvP from PvE in the sandbox so that your guardian will feel the same in both modes. Then explain why there is a noticable sniper flinch when shot in PvE and not nearly as affective of a flinch in PvP? Bungie needs to reverse the ammo economy nerf and rework the sniping mechanic in PvP altogether. Several things can be done that bungie doesn't do. Nerf the tar out of aim assist, or remove it flat out. Add sway and hold breath to steady aim. Lose breath on hit and over a period of time. Descope when hit (at least descope on crit and each hit during crit). If none of these then carpet nerf RoF on the entire class.
