How to use Sniper Rifle in Crucible
I am very new to gaming (modern gaming anyways). In the first 4-6 weeks of playing destiny I couldn't break 500 points in Crucible. I worked at it and eventually could top the charts... since reduced to middle ranking in IB.
Recently I thought I would expand my skills by learning to be a Sniper, but I don't get how to do it in Destiny.
1) I find that I settle into a spot and end up getting killed by someone with a euros regime or other high powered non-sniper gun... whats the point of a sniper rifle if the other guns have the same range without losing mobility or sight? Am I doing something wrong here? An example would be sniping by C facing B on Venus map (maat mons I think its called).
2) it seems like there are not many snipe points, so if I try to hunker down, I get maybe two kills until I am hunted down.
Tips? Tricks?

Sniping is fun and challenging in this game cuz the maps are pretty small compared to other games where you can be an elite sniper. Best bet is learn the maps and find some spots but more likely than not you can just stay in one spot, hopefully you aren't those players who just camp cuz most of us know the maps already and I personally as soon as I die getting sniped I can find my way to the sniper and take him out real quick. I've sniped though as well and my advice is soon as you get a kill or so in that spot move cuz more likely the person or people you just killed will hunt you down. I've been able to sneak up on snipers everytime cuz they think can just camp at this one spot the whole match but not in destiny.
