Trials of OhSnipers

I don't know about you all but I'm sick of trials being broken down to who can camp and snipe. Especially this weeks map. It used to be fun, but now it's 98% sniping and that's just boring. I know people want to win but man-up and come at me! On a more serious suggestion, whoever gets revived does so and gets an overshield, yet you are still vulnerable to a one shot kill from that pansy sitting on the other side of the map watching you. How about after a revive, you can't get one-shotted? Making the over shield effective. They won't nerf snipers obviously because sooo many people would cry because they would lose their only way to win. But buff the overshield after a revive to resist a one shot makes perfect sense. I expected a backlash of nerds justifying their cowardess but over 400 replies!?!? What makes you all so mad? My rightness? Most of you sound like you were raised by the Internet! On a side note I keep being accused of being a "shotgun noob". I prefer fusion rifles to be honest. Check the stats. Also I got about 29,000 crucible kills. Only 3,000 of which are shotty. So...math. So, 700 comments and 14 of whatever those blue arrows mean later, the young are here still trying to prove their hidey-hole not moving strat is honorable and almost tough. A lot mention a "push"? Informing me that I have to find a workaround mechanic to counter their sedentary playstyle. Or to [i]rush[/i] their side like, "oh no, you gotta find me here holding hands with my teammates if you actually wanna play the game". It cracks me up and y'all have made me rather popular on this forum which I know for a lot of you is all you wanna be! Ha! To the 11% of the people who replied that share my opinion, thank you, you get it. Well three (?) days and 10 away from a thousand replies regarding this post, after all the name calling and intentions to assassinate my character and playstyle and after all you little weirdos snooping around my stats trying to use them as a leg to stand on, the Hidey Snipey community has only strengthened my dislike for them. It seems a person who doesn't spare words has no place in this easily offended digital realm. One person commented that my post is "a little forward". I agree, and it's on purpose. Since your egos have been coddled you just can't handle it and my assault on your playstyle is taken with such pain it's comedic. Then I'm accused of it being a "salty, whining, complainer" for even speaking up! Madness! Maybe they thought I would yield, or even worse, be reasonable. My TrashTalk-Fu is strong. I'm not sure what offends more, my anti-camping campaign or the fact that I always have a zinger. As if I base my self worth on my KD (like most of you), it's insulted. You have revealed your hurt by defaulting directly to attacking people who shotgun even if I don't mention it. This is not a debate on which is better, shotty, sniper, fusion, sidearm etc. It's a post against a playstyle that I dont like, one I find boring and cowardly. A flaw in the system that allows one to get one shotted with an OVERSHIELD!!! A SHIELD!!! Fine, take the shield away, it'd make more sense than having one that is one-shottable by ANY weapon. For those who are unafraid to engage in a chaotic fast paced fight on the virtual battlefield I salute you. To those who slow it down with hand holding and hard scoping, the hiding and then have the nerve to defend it with a righteous indignation...gfy. :) You all think I'm referring to a gun as the problem. No, the behavior is the problem. You act like cowards when sniping. The sniper is not the problem, the problem is the panty wearers that be holding them. Lol don't deny.

    If you lost and they won there is nothing wrong with their behavior unless they were manipulating the network. We didn't have huge problems against snipers, but rather shotgunners. I appreciate that you're attempting to better your game by shaming people into not sniping you, but do you think you might put that effort into learning to adjust to not getting sniped in the first place? 90% of the time you get sniped is because you poke your head around the corner of a known snipe alley..even worse you then dart back only to poke your head out a second time to engage them with your primary. Outcome: domed.

  • Dude.. seriously shotgunners are master campers too. Not sure what you're getting at. You can camp with any gun.

    • Just to be clear, you're mad at campers who are snipers. Those who rush around quickscoping your face off are fine though, I hope. You know - rush of blink to them with a shotty - they pull put the big sniper rilfe and headshot. Also I hope you're mad at shotgun dudes who crouch and wait for people. As a sniper who has been sniping since I've played this game - playing shotgun has always seemed easy to me than taking headshots on the fly.

        It's a competitive game mode, people take it seriously so they snipe, shotgun, something tht they are confident of doing and use a strat of the weapon tht they are using, whether tht strat being, camping, rushing. People want to get to lighthouse so they use what they want to get themselves to lighthouse or just winning games.

      • Same can be said for shotgunners who camp doorways, no!? Get killed once by someone hardscopping/camping a lane.....shame on them Get killed twice by someone HS/camping....shame on you! You can easily counter this! Also I do not understand why people are complaining so much about snipers all of a sudden. The AA and snipers have been the same since Y1 so why now yall want to complain? Just because more people are using snipers now? Getting killed to much by snipers? Someone please explain to me because I must be missing something

        • Actually there are tons of people who do not camp with a sniper rifle. I will literally run around the map with my primary out and if I see an opportunity to snipe someone or my team mate tells me where someone's sitting I will snipe them. If I put down a particularly good player then yes I will watch their orb to ensure they stay down for the round. However just because people snipe does not mean they are always "camp sniping". Honestly camp snipers are so easy to flank as hard scoping takes their radar away from them.

          • People run around with shotguns, range is to high. Shotguns nerfed to were a warlock melee can outrage. People run around with snipers, "aim assist" is to high. Will the world be happy until we use sticks and whack eachother? No

            • It is a natural consequence of the Elimination format. No self res means people will play defensively.

              • Sniping isn't that bad if you can't beat them join em xD also the whole snipe off res thing if your good enough to put them down and keep them down then so be it if people weren't stupid and just continue to res the teamate while a sniper is looking you might actually win :)

              • Post should be over. Guy got destroyed when someone looked up his stats. More shotgun than primary. So glad a player like you got destroyed. No primary shotgun rushing thrall. Hope you continue to get sniped in the face.

                  • I do agree trials is stupid hard when your forced to snipe at everyone because they sit back and camp. I like when everyone comes to the center and has a primary face off. But I will say there are several ways to prevent res snipes my favorite is to shade step by the guy getting revived. It causes auto aim to drag the scope and it's a lot of fun.

                  • I'm with you. I dislike it but you have to play with it. That s why I play rift or control. I love the description of said panty wearers. I feel the same way. Its nice to play a team with autos , someone that takes a chance at trying to out gun you.

                  • You can't play every trials game the same way. You have to adjust your strategy to counter the other teams tactics. Sometimes that means rushing and sometimes it doesn't. Getting set in one play style will make you loss matches.

                  • The game has been slow down way too much. And Bungie did it on propose and I get it. But some matches are sooo boring. I like to snipe and I like to rush, but every once in a while a competitive high pace game would be awesome. The guns need to be tweaked a bit more. More noticeable drop off for snipes. Buff hand canons! I think shot guns are at an ok place but giving everyone a Conspiracy Theory was dumb.
