So...When did this happen? 2 months ago people wanted more sniper usage, but now people are saying that people need to use PRIMARIES more. How stupid could you be? If someone sniped you, then you made a dumb decision. Also people say "How can you get sniped from a foot away, that's what shotguns are for," with the release of new, shorter ranged maps (Vertigo, the Dungeons, Cathedral oD). I am a pretty good sniper, and would hate a sniper nerf/special weapon nerf. So suck it up, or get better.
EDIT: 270 Comments, So far more people are for snipers than against!

Quick fix is to remove special ammo upon death. At the current rate, people have enough special ammo to use it as their "primary". Shotguns didn't need a nerf. Removing special ammo upon death would have balanced the game a bit.

People complain about aim assist on snipers but I hope you realize that Longbow, LDR, HB, Shadow of Veils, and many more all had tons of AA in year 1. Nothing has changed, there is just an increase in sniper users.

7 AntwortenI've always hated snipers. In all games. I never seen the point of making the most damaging gun ALSO the longest range, lol. I mean, realistically it makes sense. But it screws balance. "You have to aim." Lol, you have to aim with every gun.

I hate sniper rifle + radar. Just snipers.. It's ok

Bearbeitet von cuzzybubba1: 12/2/2015 6:37:00 PMAll of a sudden everyone wants to be a sniper. I played a game last night on Frontier where I crossed under the bridge with heavy and there was 4 guys almost side by side on the side up top hard scoping. I killed them one by one with a rocket per guy and not one of them descoped it was quite funny. TLDR, everyone can try but very few are actually really good. They need to increase zoom so they are actually using for sniping instead of these ridiculous quick scopes and 1v1 while the guy is 5 feet away.

1 AntwortenIt probably has to do with map design, it says a lot when almost every lane has sniper coverage in almost every game you play.

Bearbeitet von Wickedstrife: 12/2/2015 5:24:21 PMI have hated snipers since Modern warfare 2. Hater from day 1 son get on my level. Seriously though who doesn't hate getting one shot by a guy you never saw across the map or a guy short or mid-range who is a good sniper that a.d.s and headshots you even though you hit him with primary. But that is just part of the game and you just do your best to counter it. P.S. I forgot that snipers don't move. I saw a post somewhere saying that there should be sway and holding your breath to steady it and that makes sense. I think literally any other game with snipers that is the case. I'm not crying nerf or anything just saying that seems like a curious decision by bungie to make them not have any sway or anything.

I love No Land Beyond though

18 AntwortenYes because snipers in destiny don't require you to be at range. I, a person who sucks at sniping, can literally call out my no scope headshots from fusion range about 75 percent of the time. I can do this while talking damage and under fire. It is far to easy to just press L and R fast in this game and get a headshot. At first I never expected it because I though it was so damn lucky I was getting them. Then o realized it wasn't luck. It's just how the aim assist, aimer slowdown, bullet magnetism, whatever you geniuses wanna claim it is, works in destiny. Cuz it works for me all the time with 1k yard feels like an aimbot. And apparently there are snipers with far higher aim assist... It's easy mode. Either take that aim assist down a notch or don't nerf other specials. PS yes I've played other games and I told you I'm not a good sniper in them. Haven't ever felt that high of aim assist with a sniper in halo, CoD, Battlefield, Gears of War, etc. and in most of those games a sniper is either a power weapon pickup people fight over or it sacrifices your primary weapon. There's no tradeoff in destiny. You can get ammo all game for it and rarely run out for more than a minute

I prefer shotguns. The changes recently have been annoying. More people sniping. I get killed by "headshots" that are impossible. And yet it seems so much easier that people are getting them left and right.
-
1 AntwortenHonestly I find myself using my sniper more than I primary
-
3 AntwortenDon't spawn with special and lower aim assist on snipers, then it would be a little better, I'm a shot gunner and I DO agree with with shotty nerf btw
-
4 AntwortenEvery weapon in destiny has been nerfed, some multiple times. Except for sniper rifles. Only gun in the game to not get nerfed
-
Nothing against sniping per se, but I think penalizing people who stay hard scoped for periods of time is the next step in weapon tuning.
-
8 AntwortenThe sad thing is that people complain about Aim Assist when they don't even know what it means. Even if it did though most of the snipers now have less Aim Assist than the snipers from Year 1.

7 AntwortenBearbeitet von Guldfesken: 11/28/2015 8:06:20 AMI have nothing against snipers but when you can play an entire game with your "special weapon" then something is wrong.

You get banned?

8 AntwortenI've always hated Snipers; they're so much more cheap than Shotguns. At least my FR/Sidearm can actually counter Shotguns, while there's no counter for walking into a room or area and being killed by some asswipe hiding halfway across the map with aimbot levels of aim assist.

5 AntwortenI would rather die from someone actually sniping in Destiny than some running around with a sniper like it an smg quickscoping people at point blank range.
-
it would be sick if at the start of the match youre given 10 sniper shots but the moment you run out that's it, so that's 10 potential kills with a sniper the whole game, but once you waste that 10 that's it no more ammunition until the next game that shit would be cash.

1 AntwortenIt's going to get worse as they become the only viable special weapons. I can't say I disagree with your post, but going "I'm a pretty good sniper and would hate a sniper nerf" is just a slap in the face of shotgun users who feel the exact same thing only for their special of choice.

5 AntwortenI love snipers. Nothing makes little bitches cry more than a good sniper. To all the bomb ass snipers in destiny, (quick scopes and hard scopes) I love you guys. Keep those heads glitching and those squeakers squealing! Snipers aren't OP, you're just jelly because we are the ones with the almighty K/D's, we end your kill steaks, camp your revivals, stop your supers, and are probably the reason you didn't get to the lighthouse. #suckstosuck

"Everyone complaining about snipers are stupid. You should know better than to walk through a hard scoped doorway and get shot! If you get sniped you're a scrub! People say to use primary weapons but I tell them my sniper is my primary. Even though they can OHK at any range and have aim assist for some reason, it definitely takes so much skill to snipe. If there's a sniper/special weapon nerf I'll lose my crutch and then I can't pretend to be good at this game!" - OP

I don't think anything but invective needs adjusting as far as special weapons go. Reduce special ammo spawns to four or five minutes. Then, increase regen time and reduce impact to use more shots per kill for invective.
