Bungie is increasing scope zoom...

Meaning people will sit further in the back of the spawn. They will also increase ADS time, meaning more hardscoping. Perfect. Edit 1: Apparently the community mostly prefers campy bitch matches.

  • Snipers get punished for scoping in, shotgunners get rewarded, GG bungie.

    Couldn't of said it any better. They nerfed the real skillful form of sniping: the run and gun play style. Now bungie is encouraging people even more to sit in the back and hardscope

    • No, if you're going to snipe I'd prefer me getting sniped from a good distance away and not in Fusion Rifle range. People got too good with snipers, time to adjust their zoom to throw you guys off for a little while. [i]~I'll Ram your ass![/i]

      • Also hardscoping and quickscoping are just stupid names the gaming community gave sniping.

          So you are telling me a sniper rifle isn't designed for close ranged combat? Oh man next you are gonna tell me the sky is blue. the campy snipers are actually easy to deal with because you can flank them. I will say patience and time is going to be my goto sniper after the update. Because it has 3rd eye.

          • Yes bungie seem to think nerfing the skilled aspect of sniping is appropriate. All this is gonna do is hurt the better players.

          • Hardscoping is what snipers are meant for, not quickscoping.

          • I don't mind it, makes it easier to come up on them when they hardscope. I think it will work fairly well, we shall see

          • It's fine I'd rather have someone snipe me in sniper range rather than close range

          • Yes, the are increasing the zoom on the cqb scopes. This is good. It doesn't increase the range of the scope or gun, it gives a smaller field of vision. That means if you are running through their LOS they have less time to react. Won't make a bit of difference either way if you run straight at them.

          • I prefer to snipe. So hard scoping doesn't exist in my book, I call it sniping. Go back to CoD.

          • Yep, I'd much rather fight up close against aggressive snipers than fight some camping bitch sniper in the distance that no one can reach without their own sniper.

                "Hard scoping". You mean using a sniper rifle?

                • You're right...that's why they increased zoom on only the low zoom scopes and the high zoom scopes which were under - used are unchanged. Obligatory "u wot m8?"

                  • Maybe if the community didn't make Bungie nerf every weapon type there wouldn't be complaints about snipers. Bungie is equally responsible for their ridiculous weapon balancing. I'd say snipers are fine the way they are, nobody really questioned it because other guns actually killed back then.

                    • Ah dude... Only the CQC scopes are getting a zoom increase. Not all of them.

                      • I agree with you on both post, people are saying snipers are not for short range but let's think about this, if you have a sniper in real life and point it at someone 10 feet away are you gonna hit them? Or should your bullet do some crazy 90 degree turn away from them, people are mad bc they are getting wrecked by sniper in close quarters when they had a shot gun or are just smashing they melee button

                        • Bungie is basically making snipers to be used as intended. Get over it.

                          • Kind of a dick move by Bungie making players who have invested hundreds of hours to get good with sniping in close to mid range work at it all over again. Now they are promoting a much more passive playstyle that is literally the most unfun (if that is even a word) playstyle to play against in the game. \ [url=https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCEKrn2dMZ1BECju-h15OPwQ?nohtml5=False]TBA GAMING[/url] /
