I agree that special ammo crates need a further nerf, but disagree that snipers are shotguns with infinite range. They are certainly harder to use than shotguns - that being said it's not hard to camp at head level on busy doorways and corners etc.
That's what currently sucks about everyone getting into sniping in TTK, it was never a problem in Y1. A lot of people at this point would say it's because aim assist has increased through the roof but it hasn't at all, which is one of the reasons you see this post before you.

I see. Don't even get me started on Trials Special Ammo crates ='D 24 shots a round, haha. Certainly more difficult to use than shotguns, but they do near shotgun level damage just as body shots (when you use things like 1K stare), And it's pretty easy to land body shots, all things considered. Maybe a firing rate penalty? Penalize bad aim, reward good aim, two birds with one stone. Also, the minute I put on the Shortgaze Firefly roll, I started landing headshots I thought were complete misses. Probably just a placebo effect, in addition to the amazingness that is Shortgaze, but I have 3 1K stares, and this one is working the best for me.

Well technically that's what Bungie are doing in December by increasing damage fall off further - they said they want good aim to be more rewarding rather than double tapping people because it's easier. We'll just have to wait and see to what extent they have gone with it. Personally I think it's the special ammo that's the problem right now for the most part.
