Sniping in 2.0

Bungie should change the mechanics back to the way they were

33

I like the new sniping mechanics

62

2.0 encouraged me to drop my sniper rifle and use a shotgun. Any sniper rifle enthusiast probably noticed a difference in the mechanics. It is much harder to snipe in the crucible now. When you are scoped in and you come under fire in 2.0 there is almost no chance of you landing a head shot because the reaction to being shot is now exaggerated greatly. Before it was still very possible to land the headshot to defend yourself. I think it was Bungie's way of trying to make the unflinching perk more useful, because you know, it's their perk and they want you to play the way they want you to play. In my opinion it was a mistake, I thought sniping was perfectly balanced and now it is much more difficult which led to me switching to my shotgun which I hate using because as everyone will tell you, they are cheap no skill ways of getting on the scoreboard in 6v6 matches.

  • The only difference I've noticed.. And I have more sniper kills than any other type of kill in crusible (including handcannon and super kills), is that post 2.0.0 it is WAY easier to jump snipe. Flinching is the exact same. So yeah. Take it or leave it but with my experience I can confidently say sniping has gotten a buff if anything.
