you would be best friends with me

"thanks to everybody disagreeing with me. every rage post you make give me a free Bump so Deej will see my post. your Dooming your Own OP weapon by Arguing with me." that makes no sense. the mass say no to your idea = no change. bungie is focus on the community. community = mass. and i also say no to your idea because it's really terrible..

Hahahaahahahahahahahababahahababababah This idea is so horrible.

Shut up kid.

This sounds horrible lol

That's a terrible idea. Snipers aren't even op. Let's make them useless! Let's turn patience and time into a completely useless gun! Not a good idea bud.

I guess you want sniper rifles to be obsolete like fusion rifles?

Looks like someone got owned by a sniper earlier.

So how many years are you willing to wait for this? lmfao this is hilarious, i dare you to bring this up if they do nerf snipers.

You are soooo wrong and you are just one of those kids that has no skill. You have no clue how much the scope already bounces around when being shot. Just because you have no capability of moving and shooting, or you have no thumbs, doesn't mean you should post a hopeless rant. Btw your welcome for the bump.

The problem with using snipers in the range that they are intended for is that there is almost no where to use snipers.

As with so many of the "balancing" ideas that people propose, you have failed to think of the adverse effects that this would cause in PvE. Getting unscoped would make snipers much more difficult to use in PvE, as there are many areas in the game where you aren't able to snipe from some high perch away from enemies. Most of the time you are still close enough for them to take a few shots at you. Descoping worked in halo. The way sniping worked in Halo made descoping a highly valued element, as the halo sniper was a very overpowered weapon at all ranges. It had full vision in front while using, 2 different room levels to snipe easily at different ranges, a very fast fire rate and reload speed, almost no recoil, and held a ton of ammo. It also required a high amount of skill to use effectively. All of this combined with the fact that players in halo had full mobility whole scoped in made people able to stay scoped in while moving around with ease. In this sense, descoping worked as it was the only effective way to combat a good sniper. Destiny snipers are NOT halo snipers. Few fire as fast or reload as quick. Nearly all of them have higher recoil. And when you snipe, everyone knows it because of a bright red light that people see coming out of your gun. Aiming down the scope is a bit slower and prevents you from moving too much so you can't run and gun with a sniper all that easily. Then there's the ADS that is present in Destiny that wasn't in halo. In Halo, you never actually looked into a scope. It was always just a link-up to your helmet, so you could zoom in and shoot accurately without having to bring the gun to your face. Being shot disrupted this link, and that was alright as all you had to do was re-click the stick to put you back in the scope. In Destiny, you actually aim down the sights. Being shot once would not necessarily make you stop doing so. It makes no sense on the control side either. While you're holding down the left trigger you're supposed to zoom, but descoping would add this awkward feeling of not aiming down the sights even when the trigger is held. You would have to let go and push down the trigger again, which is just a really awkward control set-up. Descoping was a very key element to halo. The way halo plays made it an essential component. However it does not belong in Destiny. Sniping may be a bit powerful in PvP, but then again so are shotguns and fusion rifles. And on the PvE side any nerf could very well ruin the balance of snipers. It is best left as is.

Also one key thing: Bungie had de-scoping in all halo games they made, from CE to Reach. You only mentioned 2-3 ;)

Stopped reading at the shotgun bit. You say this until they give you a shotgun like felwinters lie. It's like sniping again...

You are making no land beyond even more useless...

This is the dumbest post all day. Snipers for sure take skill.

There already is a penalty for using them at close/mid range, it's called "get rekd' by a fusion rifle or shotgun" Seriously, if the sniper manages to get two shots on you before you kill them, you took too long. And yes this applies to Praedyth's revenge and other high fire rate snipers.

You are a shotty pussssssy I bet.....

That's actually one of the most reasonable ideas I've heard on these forums haha

Lolno

This is literally the most -blam!-ing stupid thing I've heard, that would make snipers completely useless

First things first, after checking your stats, it is very clear to me that you rarely, if ever, use a sniper rifle. Period. For anything. Since you don't know what you are talking about, it probably would be best for you to shut up now. *hands OP some tissues*

Short range game, short range sniper mechanics. Deal with it.

Please take your pvp -blam!-ry elsewhere. I love my snipers in pve. Go ruin some other game you whining -blam!- bag.
