  • I've never known sniping in a video game to be as easy as it is in Destiny. I thought CoD MW2 was bad, but this??!! Jeez!!

  • Let me guess you are the kind of player that runs around the whole match using your shotgun as your primary.

      People who have to account for all the elements: wind resistance/direction, distance, height, target movement, their own movements (breathing, etc.). So real life snipers. Real snipers hard scope. They pitch a tent, kill someone then pack up and pitch that tent in a new spot. Quick scoping and no scoping don't take skill, unless you're in CoD. Then that is the only skill.

      • Mmmmm....the old body shot -> primary. It's as broken as the uppercut was in mortal kombat 1.

      • You do know that "hard scoping" is sniping right play a game like battlefield and you almost have to do that

        • As if shotguning or fusion riffles did take some skill theres nothing easier than running around the map depending on a shotgun

          • I'm really -blam!-ing tired of people using the term "hardscope" like an insult. It's a goddamn sniper rifle, you're meant to use the scope. Do you think people in the military keep their rifles at the hip until the see someone and then quickscope? No, because that would be -blam!-ing stupid and probably get them killed.

                • Literally no special weapon takes skill. Albeit, fusion rifles and sidearms take slightly more. Most do not take any.

                  If you think sniping in destiny takes skill then go and try sniping in battlefield 4, every sniper with aim assist doesn't take skills, and for the idiot that will reply to this (defending destiny sniping) i say "just stfu you are trash for thinking that sniping takes skill in destiny"

                    • I aggressively snipe and I'm constantly pushing forward. The only time I'll hard scope is an orb in trials. I don't like head glitching or camping and try and hit as many heads as I can.

                    • Why do people think sniping doesn't take skill? I snipe battlefield and COD (sue me) and destiny is way more difficult. Maybe yall just suck with snipers or prefer shotguns, which we can debate which takes less skill and I vote shotguns

                      • Sure it doesn't take skill to snipe, it's not supposed to, but it does take skill to anticipate targets and know map layout and adapt to the surrounding, hard scoping 24/7 is going to get you killed if you are playing against anyone remotely decent. You got to move around! ~[i]TheGreatNike[/i]

                        • Sniping takes almost no skill in Destiny anymore. Trust me, I can do it. [spoiler]He sank the ship he's on to take down the captain.[/spoiler]

                          • No Land Beyond takes the most skill. No zoom scope. Minimal Aim Assist. It has a scope glint, even though it has no scope (Bungie, that was a stupid oversight). And while it can kill at close and medium range rather effectively, you are at greater risk because you are in such close quarters with primary weapons.

                            • Right now, in the middle of the sniper meta, with all their comp nerfed, very little skill is needed to be a good sniper. Get yourself a longbow and see what I mean. Easy mode.
