any class really, it's all about your aim when sniping. Sniping won't be a big thing in D2 sadly, it was fun in D1 till Bungie destroyed all the good primary weapons then people started bitching about snipers. It's funny because the only time people really complained about snipers for the first year or two was final round, they were fine when we had decent primary weapons.

When people realized they could camp 5 feet from spawn and snipe everyone coming down a hallway instakill and every super it became a problem
-
That might be after i quit, i rarely saw anyone complain about snipers and people were too busy with TLW, thorn, Vex, shotguns and fusion rifles to worry about snipers.
-
They became the majority weapon of destiny in Pvp by far
-
Yup, they did recently. We had plenty of great primary and secondary weapons for the first year or two that no one cared about snipers.(final round ofc)
-
They weren't great, people realized they could hide and instakill and it became that

Yeah, sounds like i started playing pvp about the time you stopped. Ive always used a scout and it was a nightmare! I dont have a problem with snipers, i really like challenging them. Its the damn maps, large maps were great!, snipers were suddenly human and couldnt land head shots EVERY time. Not hard to use a sniper when every sniper lane is a 5x5 hall way 😉 i mean, its like shooting fish in a bucket

I think you meant to reply to the other guy we have the same icon

PLENTY of people complained when 1KS was popular. And TLW was on backup with a .56s ttk and twice the rang of havoc pigeon...

Edited by FileUrCompla1nt: 8/3/2017 3:29:26 PMThe only crying i saw was because of TLW and final round, people rarely , if ever, whined about snipers.

Well people were bitching alot about 1000 yard stare and its massive AA. People were getting quick scoped from 10 feet away, multiple times every game. Thats why the cqc scope, AA, i belive impact, handling and and some other things got nerfed... giving birth to another shotgun meta! Now we are in anothe sniper meta.... notice a pattern?

Again, we are talking about after they destroyed the primary weapons. Give people good primary weapons that can deal with snipers and not many people would complain. The maps are tiny, if you are getting sniped then its so easy to flank them and take them out.
-
Lol, maybe in 3v3 but flanking on 80% of the maps is impossible in 6v6, literally. You cant flank someone in a hallway when you would need to go the long way around the map, through 3 of there teammates and through a doorway that someone else is hardscoping. I think snipers are balanced now, not the ammo but how it functions. It still feels stupid to see three red lights aimed down a hallway. I would like to see maps that give snipers the ability to use range and cover but puts them at a disadvantage because there team is now a mile away instead of 2 snipers and a scout or PR all shooting at a doorway or down a hallway. Even before the nerfs, snipers and shotguns felt right on big maps.
