For those who don't know-
[b]Hitscan[/b] : [i]A type of damage hit registration used in games where there is absolutely no travel time, or path alteration of the virtual bullet.[/i] *Think of the Halo sniper.*
[b]Ballistic Style[/b] :[i] Different than Hitscan because bullets possess semi-realistic properties, in that they travel at a certain speed, drop due to gravity, and ultimately require a different play style to hit targets.[/i]*Think of the Battlefield sniper*
Obviously weapons like rocket or grenade launchers need to be ballistic style, on the other hand laser type weapons are normally Hitscan, but when it comes to primary weapons like auto rifles, shotguns, snipers, and LMGs, which style of hit detection would you prefer in Destiny?
Cheers!

There would also need to be a way for the player to see these variables and know how to compensate for these factors. So, ballistic would be interesting for snipers and create them more difficult while bringing more respect to skilled sniper users. But regular weapons should stay hitscan.
