Grinding through the boring pvp quests. I've never bothered with trials. This is such a boring game type. Nothing but snipers.
Well done bungie on destroying your legacy.
Edit: four games in, nothing but sniper battles. Switched to imago loop and telesto out of sheer boredom.
Edit2: if this gametype is for 'skilled' players then why are they all using mida and 1000yard stare? A good player can use any gun.
Edit3: someone start a petition to rename elimination to snipers and revive-spawn camping. Its catchy.
Edit4: man, some of you guys are very salty! For those that get the point I was trying to make, thanks. If everyone uses the same setup constantly it creates a stagnated play environment. After getting bored of snipe-offs I resorted to jumping round corners throwing grenades and firing my telesto. It was fun. Some guys on my team followed me. Yeh strategy has its place but it has less place in a first person shooter which is meant to be fun.
For those that focused exclusively on my skilled players line and got aggressive, chill. I'm not saying anything about your skill or how much skill it takes to press a button. I'm sure you guys would love to have an argument about your dick size all night, good for you. I'm sure if you all had the worst snipers with no aim assist you would all be the best. Honest.
Final edit: If everyone could start using fusion rifles and side arms just for shenanigans that'd be great. Vie la revolution.
Be excellent to each other. x

Been using only NLB/fusion or sidearm for a week now in crucible. Most fun I've had in a long time!

5 AntwortenMost snipers in this game are pretty bad TBH. They rely on camping doorways and lanes. If you blink and slide though them most snipers won't get you. Also most are blind to the flank. A half decent team can rush most snipers and wreck them
-
Play cod or battlefield this game type will always be the same snipers and long range guns it will never change
-
I scout rifle/shotgunned, worked out not bad for me.

Bearbeitet von xCPT WOODx: 1/14/2016 1:32:02 AMOne shot one kill. Why not use it? Edit: osok works best in elimination

If CQC weapons (shotguns, fusions, and autos) were more reliable or more powerful the there might be incentive to use those over long range weapons. Fusions/shotguns don't compete in the versatility, power, and range snipers can offer. Auto rifles haven't been competitive since the suros rampage.

Camping at the back of the map. Sniping is really weak and it's lazy.

14 AntwortenEh. Every pvp mode is basically snipers right now.
-
1 AntwortenI've found a solid strategy to avoid this nonsense (which is the same I employ for most of the Crucible), don't play.

[quote]So Destiny is basically snipers?[/quote] Fixed it for you. And to answer your question; yes.

3 AntwortenThis meta is trash compared to the Suros/Thorn days.

3 AntwortenYep. Trials of Osiris is now trials of Osnipers.

Easily got three Light Houses last weekend with a guy who had never been using Shotguns. You do not have to snipe, you do however have to have teammates that do not walk into hard scopes. Most snipers cannot actually snipe, they can only hard scope a corner so they already have their cursor at head level and a safe place to duck behind if you engage them and don't finish them. Just refuse to engage, camp like they do around a corner right by where the control point will appear. Always rush the area the control point appears and gain control of the area and deny the other team if they are camp sniping.

Edit 2 - so true. At least in the days of yonder, we'd be killed by more than one set of weapons. Namely, 2. That's a 50% decrease. TL;DR - Boring therefore bad.
-
I think you misspelled "Crucible".

2 AntwortenI run a sidearm because I enjoy being James Bond.
-
2 AntwortenAgreed... 3v3 modes are cancer nowadays. I used to enjoy them but now I've moved onto Clash primarily.
-
Skilled players use the best weapons they can get. They can use any weapon, but why be at a disadvantage? I personally use the zhalo and yeah the 1000 yard stare but I like how the 1000 works.
-
At the end of the day players who know what guns are op will use them... the meta is a bit like cod u have 2 guns that stand out TLW and MIDA due 2 pulse patch scouts have come in...TLW is a easier weapon 2 use now And guys do snipe but most of them are hardscope heros and can't react in CQB the maps aren't great most of them shouldn't b in 3v3 it does get very boring fast due to bungies great plan of making 99% of weapons poop in PVP

3 AntwortenTrials pulse The Chap Suros rocket launcher That's my trials load out
-
Bearbeitet von Erijian: 1/14/2016 12:06:23 AMYeah; mostly because of revive sniping. Remove that mechanic and other Special Weapons would be used more often.

2 AntwortenSounds like u suck I didnt read anything but the first few lines :P

2 AntwortenBearbeitet von Big Cash Moneys: 1/13/2016 11:51:43 PMI believe myself to have gun skill. I tested this by having this one scrub in my party and I would mention guns and if he said "NO DONT USE THAT ITS SHIT BRO" I would use it in the next Trials match. He said Black Spinde didn't have enough aim assist, went 12-4 k/d, he said Telesto was the worst PvP exotic in the game, went 9-0 k/d. [spoiler]Edit 1: Changed belief to believe[/spoiler]

3 AntwortenTo all of the people who are complaining about snipers in ToO and elimination you're all just dumb crybabies. No one is forcing you to run through sniper lanes or to try and out snipe actual snipers. Dodge, duck, dip, dive, and dodge them and plaster their ass against the wall with your shotty. SIMPLE

1 AntwortenLove how everyone defends sniping like the current state of crucible is actually balanced. The only reason everyone is getting so salty is because this is the only game half of them can be good with snipers in, so they're going to claw and fight all the arguments against snipers until the very end. To be completely objective on this... Can we all look at the fact that we've nerfed primaries down to a level where they actually take time now to kill somebody, requiring a bit of gun skill and game skill to be good at the game. Which is great.. [b]BUT[/b] we forget the fact that there are now so many ways to instantly kill a guardian, that our primaries are essentially useless besides cleaning up kills that our grenades, or specials didn't quite finish in one hit? I mean, truthfully please, how many times do you guys think a primary weapon does the [i][b]full[/b][/i] extent of damage to your health now-a-days, compared to other weapons like specials? I mean taking you from full health to dead with only the primary; it really doesn't happen anymore, does it? And just one more thought.. Can we stop the shotgun nerfs? They were 100% okay before this last patch. Let's get down to the REAL problem here, which is causing the shotgun rushing to happen so often and so effectively:[i] movement mechanics.[/i] Destiny, being so [i]greatly[/i] engineered with all these different ways to move forward at faster rates that walking speed, was never programmed to allow for ways to move sideways or backwards at faster than walking speed.. I mean seriously?.. I can close a gap in 30 different ways in this game, yet I have absolutely no way whatsoever to widen a gap between me and an enemy without giving my back to them and attempting to run away, opening me up to being shot freely.

1 AntwortenI don't use snipers in PvP. Nor do I mind them, I know where they are, and I just have to take steps to avoid them.
