I hate you all. But i give you all props. Sniping is uber hard, for me at least. Lol.
Side note- we all can agree that thorn is a little op...right?
Edit1-
So as of Monday after getting home from work i started my sniper training :). And to my surprise, i did better than i thought i did :).
Today my traning will continue....
Edit2-
Just wanted other snipers opinions, is it bad to feel dissapointed for not gettong head shots? And having to try to get the kill with body shots?
Edit3-

Sniping seems pretty easy but I have always enjoyed sniping in any game, I even snipe with the nlb
-
E-spear is BEAST in pvp. Especially with last round.
-
I use Ldr and mine has final round ;)

9 RepliesSniping is fair game. Too many people walk casually, camp, or stay wide in the open for the entire game. I'm not going to waste my time getting to you if I can take you out then move on to a closer target. And I snipe if it's a flippin hunter.

1 ReplyWas playing control on shores of time yesterday. We had C, the enemy had A and B. We were down by a few thousand. And I kid you not, all 5 of my teammates were sitting there sniping by C looking at B. They were all touching each other. And I was the only positive one on the team. I hate this more than being killed by it.

4 RepliesI like sniping in this game. Got a bit harder with everyone using shotguns now though.

12 RepliesEdited by Torus: 3/30/2015 4:59:20 PMI support snipers but if you sit in the back of the map all game your just as bad as a shotgun/fusion user. Edit: people seem to think I'm hating on snipers. I'm not. I'm saying that if you are one of those people that sits in the back of the map and doesn't budge then your no better then someone that uses a shotgun/fusion rifle the whole match.

1 ReplyThanks man I always get flak for using my Fel winter though wish they were more like you.

10 RepliesSniping in this game is actually easy compared to battlefield games where you have to lead and adjust for gravity and such.

3 RepliesWhen you see what map you are playing on. Prepare yourself for sniper encounters (shores of time/blind watch and the two earth maps) Go in knowing you're gonna have to snipe and stick with it through the match. A good sniper to use and start with is an LDR and patience and time.

1 ReplyWhen practicing your long ranged marksmanship you're likely to run into a superior sniper. When that happens try to take them from an angle they don't expect to be shot from. If you aren't spotted immediately you may even have time to aim your shot.

3 RepliesI use a sniper with last word, save on the smallest maps (Firebase Delphi)

3 RepliesThere was this Hunter the other night using Icebreaker all the time, even shooting from the hip up close. Damn he was good.

Edited by Urks: 3/31/2015 1:20:17 AMAnd I hate all you people who can only use shotguns, they're super easy to use. I always carry a sniper rifle on me, usually get about 5-6 kills a round with it.

4 RepliesFirst time I ever fired a sniper rifle in crucible was an accident. I forgot to eqip my shotgun. Saw someone coming on the radar and quickly switched guns and pulled the trigger. Headshot. I wish I had known how to record clips at the time I would have saved it.

Edited by CaptainKev91: 3/30/2015 4:11:30 PMThe moment I ditched my shotty for a sniper rifle is the moment PvP started becoming fun. I'm pretty average at sniping but it's so much more satisfying landing a headshot from across the map than rushing in and trading time after time with all the other shotgun users. I agree, all the sniper rifles are pretty balanced except for Thorn :)

1 ReplyI run and gun with my LDR 5001. Just like I did in halo. My only complaint is that no scoping isn't very easy
-
3 RepliesLdr + firefly = explosions all over the map! Good times.
-
3 RepliesYeah, it's annoying as hell to get killed by. However, as you say, it does require some skill (campers notwithstanding).

1 Reply1. Thank you. 2. No. We can't *all* agree.

Compared to most games, sniping in destiny is super easy because of the generous autoaim
