What's a sniper?
I hate it how Bungie changes 2 things on snipers ( OP flinch,which honestly isn't that bad,and the damage reduction to the 1000 Yard,Longbow,LDR etc..) and it makes people just use shotguns! Like really? Don't get me wrong I don't mind getting shotgunned from time to time,but only getting rushed by a shotgun every 2 seconds get kind of annoying.
I don't know what Bungie should do about snipers,maybe change them back to how they were in year 1 or 2?
Just my opinion though. (I don't mind if you hate on me,just don't think of getting a response from me)
Thanks.

7 RepliesI think all special weapons are in a pretty good place right now. The issue is the special ammo. There is too much available in pvp still. I would say special ammo should drop once per match. Players should have to turn to primaries 1st and always. I see players run shotgun or camp sniper all game long. It should not be so.

Matador 64 is a great sniper
-
No sir it's just cuz destiny players suck and can't use a half normal sniper. They need one with more aim assist and no flinch that basically trumps all other weapons.

7 RepliesI still use snipers all the time in elimination and trials.

Snipers are fine. They still one or two shot. Bungie fixed them so people can't sniper easily while being shot which is how it should be Any balance issues in pvp have nothing to do with snipers Buff auto rifles so they are close range beasts that way people have a close range counter to shotguns

Dunno but I'm loving the Devil's Dawn. Not the best but works for me.
-
I'm still a good shot with my longbow
-
it's fun because all they do is charge you, you can easily pick them off if they're not right Infront of you
-
Leave them as it is but bring back the zoom as it was 2 nerfs ago.

11 RepliesThey nerfed snipers? They still do 1 shot kills as usual. Ah... thats right now you cant just stand still and consistently 2 shot the with ease. I guess now you actually a bit more skill to use them. The shotguns in this game have how many nerfs again? You can whine about shotguns again after budgie snipers a few more times lol. Maybe then ppl will actually take it seriously haha.

Specials in general are an issue

3 RepliesSnipers are fine it's shotguns that are the problem. The maps are so tight you can easily close the ground to get a shotgun kill and primary's are so nerfed that they can't take out a rusher before they get to you

4 RepliesI can't remember the last time I was killed by a primary that you have to point and shoot. Destiny's pvp has never been particularly good but it's at an all time low right now, imo. My playstyle has always been to be an aggressive sniper.. and that playstyle is literally irrelevant right now. If I get within 10 feet of someone I know the shotgun is coming out.. and I've never been one to sit back, so I'm in a dilemma. I play to finish to the bounties and that's it. I'd rather get killed by Suros or burn out from thorn or even get 1 shot by Hawkmoon, all day long rather than play in this meta.

2 RepliesEdited by ISP WRATH: 10/21/2016 8:02:37 AMOne clip of special is all that you should get so it is used in those special cases where a one hit kill is needed. Special is so abundant and the speed that you can travel is so ridiculous that closing to range is to easy. Maps are tiny and a high range shotgun can one shot hip fire from ridiculous range. Very few maps are designed in a way that a sniper even makes sense as a choice. Special should drop one box like heavy and at the same time so players have a decision of which to go for. Primary use where gun skill and evasion tactics win out is a more enjoyable experience as getting one shotted every death is very frustrating.

5 RepliesI saw 4 snipers in 2 games yesterday. I think they're fine.

1 ReplyA sniper is the thing that comes out of the Warlocks hands when you press RB/R1

3 RepliesThere's a really good one that I'm seeing in crucible alot lately I think it's called a Matador?

Descoping.

15 RepliesI'd rather be shotgunned in the face than sniped around every corner. No campers, fast gameplay. Much better. Snipers are fine now. Just use fusions to counter shotgunners people. You can desintegrate them before they get too close.

Until the update i was only shotgun Never was sniper Hated sniper But now i use sniper and except how much noob i am with sniper its not that terrible like people say

1 ReplyEdited by Gray Sox: 10/21/2016 5:35:21 AMIt's almost like I told you people exactly this would happen. Snipers were already getting less kills on average than shotguns, then bungie decided to nerf them anyway.
-
1 ReplyMaybe I'm wrong, but I feel that Long-Range Scopes (Best Scopes btw) reduce the Flinch slightly. At least it feels like that for me.
-
I don't mind, it puts a wall between the ACTUAL snipers, and the meta snipers.
