Why are there so many quick scopers in Destiny?

At least in a situation like this, I understand the problem lies with the player and not the weapon. Im getting soooo sick and tired of being in Crucible matches where there's literally a sniper around every corner. Why do you need a sniper rifle to kill someone who's right around the corner?! Most of the maps in the game are too small for them to begin with. I get they're supposed to one-shot you, but when EVERYBODY uses them within auto-rifle range, sometimes even shotgun range that's when it starts to get ridiculous. It's not Call of Duty people..... *EDIT* It's died down a little bit, mostly happening in the Iron Banner. But now people run around in Skirmish with Y1 exotics. *sighs*

  • That's because some of these guys are trying to relive the old quake/unreal tournament days.

    • Because the sniping mechanics are the easiest ever -no scope sway -semi automatic sniper(no bolt action, well NLB is a bolt action but its way out matched by literally every other sniper in the game, crucible wise) -perfect accuracy -no bullet spread from origin point -player movement patterns are way to easy to predict, gameplay mechanic wise not player wise -most snipers can nearly one shot you , so if you have taken previous damage your doomed -unflinching perk

        • Sniper at close range shouldn't even be an option. Aim assist should be range dependent. The closer you are the less aim assist you get on a sniper. Same for handling. The reason you don't use a sniper in close quarters is that there is no room.

        • Aim assist is situational. I cant tell you how often someone -blam!-s me up because i have more aim assist then they do. But this is a pretty good example of BS aim assist if you want to watch. http://destinytracker.com/destiny/videos/xbox/xOMIGUHx/dde1b741-dac9-4579-84e3-cc95071e43c3

            It doesn't have to be COD? I'm trying to kill the other person. A sniper headshot will do the job.

          • It actually operates worse than CoD, do you understand how aim assist works? I can literally spin around in a circle, close my eyes, and scope in "close" to your head and completely destroy you before you can say "I suck at destiny". Complaining about snipers is literally a joke when the meta is totally in favor of shotguns. Please go back to daycare little blueberry.

              Because quickscoping in Destiny is a legitimate tactic with actual skill needed to succeed. Unlike CoD, where aim assist makes it fairly easy, in Destiny you need to put more effort in.

              • Because unlike CoD quick scoping in destiny takes skill and practice because you have to get a headshot. People do it because when they pull it off they feel accomplished. If you walk around a corner and shotgun its whatever, but if you hit a quick scope its like " omg, did you just -blam!-ing hit that! "

                • Because a sniper outguns any weapon. Red death, hawkmoon, nirwens mercy, hawksaw, whatever..even the lowliest sniper trumps them all.

                  • The whole deal started in CoD with snipers killing with 1 shot to your leg. In Destiny it doesnt but the aim assist is waaaay too high thats what these so called "snipers" exploit.

                    • I feel like you played against me last night when I went on a No Land Beyond spree. For so, sorry that you couldn't counter a bolt action sniper.
