Snipers in Destiny have had an easy time from what I understand. Makes sense that Bungie would try to make it a bit harder to consistently land a head shot when you're under fire. Speaking from the view of someone who finds it pretty frustrating to get my face peeled off even as I rain down shots on a sniper I find it pretty acceptable that you should have to do a bit more work and have a bit more concentration to headshot an opponent who is already peppering you with lead. Shotguns and snipers have both had their fair share of frustrating extremes to play against, seems only fair that both get taken down to earth a bit.

  • I've been on both ends of those situations, and when I am shooting someone with my primary and they still get that headshot I think "damn that was a nice shot" when I get killed from stupid range with a shotgun, or even more so when I all but kill someone and they blink shotgun me I want to turn my game off.

  • I would think damn that was was a nice shot more if it didn't consistently happen. The fact that you don't get knocked out of ADS when sniping is already a huge advantage and the fact that before 2.0 the recoil effect from taking fire while sniping was minimal made god snipers so frustrating to play against. Obviously I'm a bit biased as I'm a shotgunner, but I can take a step back and say ok maybe the range on my felwinters is a bit ridiculous. So I would expect snipers to man up a bit and concede maybe they've had a bit of an easier time than in most fps games and they were due for a bit of a nerf as well.
