Undoubtedly sniper rifles are the most complained about weapon in destiny. I believe this is because players are constantly being killed after outmaneuvering snipers into a position to where they take the first shots. This is something they expect and should be rewarded for, by gaining a clear advantage in a firefight for their skill employed to do so, especially if those first shots are critical hits. Instead they face what seems to be the greater chance of being instantly killed by enemies brought down to red health while still taking damage. The frustration arises from the lack of any real incentives to use other types of weapon because only snipers give this chance most consistently with skill. Simply put, snipers should only be by nature an offensive weapon effective against the unaware and unprepared players in crucible. Instead of being the most effective defense for being both of those things , through aim assisted head shots and "double bodies" easily made under fire by many destiny players today .

12 RepliesDe scope isn't even a question, it should have been implemented when this game was first made. I'm shooting him in the face, how is he keeping his rifle aimed directly at my head? At this point I am all for nerfing special weapons into oblivion in pvp, it's the only way to get people to use their primaries.
