Snipers are becoming an epidemic. Limit special ammo.
Bungie has taken action on shotguns but has done nothing about snipers. The major problem is snipers can play through the whole match with nothing but a sniper. Special ammo my ass. There's nothing special about it if you can get it through the whole match. It should drop along with heavy ammo so you would have to choose which one you will pick up.
Also, i find myself fighting snipers up close to mid-range. Players will say to keep out of sniper lanes, but snipers are everywhere. There is no escape. Lol. It should be impossible for snipers to be able to kill you at a close range. Snipers are a long distance weapon. It's like a shotgun killing someone from across the map.
Finally, snipers don't seem to be bothered by being shot at. I can blast a sniper with whatever weapon, including heavy machine guns, and they just stand there and snipe me in the head. Not sure if this is lag or what. But it's infuriating. You should not be able to snipe under fire. That's why snipers belong at long distances. I'm not really calling for a nerf just limit special ammo to where you can't troll with your special through the whole match.
Edit 1: Lol, look at all the snipers giving me hate. Sniper rifles are on the chopping block at Bungie headquarters as we speak. Just a matter of time before something is done. It's Ok, if it makes you feel better to attack me then go ahead. Come at me haters.

11 RepliesOk, I don't snipe because I'm 56 and my reflexes aren't what they used to be, but I read your post and you need to understand a few things. I just played the IB from Tue to Sat and got killed by a sniper maybe a total of 5 times during my ranking up to 5 last night. If you stand in one spot for more than 3 seconds in a lane that's more than 50 meters long than guess what, you stand a chance to be sniped. If I see a sniper scope I bail so fast my eyes can't keep up. I'll try and flank them so they're not just sitting in one spot the entire game. You mention snipers don't seem to be bothered by being shot at. Wrong. Try sneaking up on one and unloading with a shotty, grenade, or my new fav, Nirwins. They'll be toast just like any other weapon carrier. Try it sometime because it works. It really does get very, very old with all the X weapon is OP shit. Holy mother of God, can't you people just use some tactics for once in your short 11 year lifespans, or how about this. Maybe you should grow up a little bit before you play a game like Destiny because it obviously seems to be a bit much for you. Sorry is its a bit harsh, but A LOT of people on this forum need to GROW UP!

This is exactly what people said for shotguns, hopefully fusion rifles don't get attacked as well
-
Just buff the shit out of the primaries. What's the point of primaries when secondaries are 1hk?

Edited by LUISESARTE: 11/24/2015 7:33:39 PMCrying baby just focus on another gun..... result: nerf primary ....nerf heavy?.... You are not inmortal..... just get your head down... or just dont be an easy target..may be you are too slow and need to crouch... move!...improvise!!! And Obviously hide!!! Just like those braves that try to kill a HoS/ Stormcaller/Golden Gun running like patriots toward them.... and give away easy points.

I don't think make special spawn with heavy just make less drop or make it more infrequent, because then the change will carry over to effect shotguns and fusion rifles.
-
I get so confused when a sniper still headshots me when I'm unloading into them with a primary. When I try sniping and I get shot, the weapon flinch is real and I have to back off because there's no way I can get the headshot. Unflinching perk probably helps but I've yet to have a sniper roll with that.

GTFOH...special ammo has been nerfed once already. Adapt and stop your crying you sook.

Icebreaker ftw

31 RepliesSpecial at 3 min, heavy at 6, special at 9, lose it on death.

2 RepliesIf you're hitting with heavy machine gun and they snipe you, trust me, they earned that kill lol.
-
22K shotgun kills 16K sniper kills Clearly snipers are a problem
-
They did limit special ammo. Get good?
-
2 RepliesI'm actually happy about the sniper epidemic because some kids are actually putting their shotguns away for once
-
Sure go ahead and limit special. I got an old double down field scout spear I'll use to just spawn in with then switch guns after I die or round ends.
-
I don't like spiders either

Shut up, Jesus Christ.

The real "problem" has nothing to do with snipers, or shotguns, or special ammo. The real problem is people are mad they got shot in a shooting game, gasp! What killed you is the player not the weapon, so you come here to write a dissertation about how hurt your feelings are about someone shooting you. Get over it, you and your like minded company go play tag or something and stop trying to ruin this game!

Get good scrub
-
Y'know what? No.
-
If someone is getting hit while aiming down sights, it just means they're very skilled at sniping, or that you miss too much.

3 RepliesThe way I see it snipers have three main problems right now. 1. abundant ammo and conservative usage makes snipers easy to use at any and all times. 2. quickscoping is too easy, negates the lens glare mechanic, and shortens game play speed. 3. revive sniping makes dominating a lesser team too easy and lowers fun. You've already addressed 1. so I'll address 2. and 3. For 1. snipers either need a sway when aiming down sight or a stability/accuracy debuff shortly after aiming down the sight. For 3. they need to not be able to revive kill so either make shields stronger, make shields protect you from precision damage, or lower the impact of all snipers.

Edited by Star Gazer2: 11/23/2015 5:19:59 AMJust limit special ammo in general. Back in year 1, special ammo dropped at twice the rate it is now. Bungie nerfed it because they didn't want the game to be a shotgun match only. Well look now, shotguns, and on specials, are still being used more than primaries. Doesn't sound like a problem with the weapons, but with the amount of ammo we are given. Instead of giving us 6 shotgun shells per special ammo drop, give 3. Instead of giving us 4 sniper bullets, give us 2. instead of giving us 5 fusion rifle shots, give 2-3. Just cut down on how much special ammo we get. edit: scratch that on the sniper, some people may get mad. Give us 10 per pickup, that sounds fair. I just need to find those patch notes now regarding this... edit: https://www.bungie.net/7_Bungie-Weekly-Update---04092015/en/News/News?aid=12753 Here it is!

There does need to be a nerf to special ammo. I shouldn't be able to use my sniper more than my primary
