Are Sniper Rifles perfectly balanced?
Since Destiny released I have heard calls to buff Scout Rifles and to nerf Auto Rifles, Shotguns and Fusion Rifles.
I haven't heard a peep about Sniper Rifles.
In PvP
[spoiler]* Snipers are identified by a red laser emitting from their scope when they ADS.
* Snipers are a One shot kill to the head or two shots to the body.
* Snipers have no hip fire reticle.[/spoiler]
In PvP
[spoiler]Are snipers too powerful? I have seen many strategies in the raids and strikes consist of sitting back somewhere relatively safe and taking pot shots with Sniper Rifles.[/spoiler]
Are we perfectly happy with this? What are your thoughts?

Edited by Midknight00711: 12/13/2014 11:10:10 AMNo they're not balanced. The hitbox for things is just broken. I actually quickly knocked out my Thorn bounty on the New Earth Map once I figured out if I quickly just snap to somebody in mid-air it's almost always guaranteed body shot. And once I got the vault of glass sniper rifle with void damage, the auto aim just made it so easy it was disgusting I stopped using it in PvP. PvE, who gives a crap, its grind grind anyway.
