Dear Bungie and the community! Did we ever see big complains about snipers being overpowered, or that just people without skills use them? NO! But there clearly was a big issue that some players could snipe people in close range engagements, and eeeverybody could do it (according to Bungie). But really, how many could do that regullary? Not many. Not to brag or anything, but i was one of the few that could do that. I never got messages saying that it was a cheecky tactic, and if someone sniped me in close range i would not be mad. So bungie wanted to ruin the sniping experience for those sniper-players who could mannage these shots. They incresed the zoom, so people would just stand in a corner and camp with snipers. They added 2 frames to the ADS, because quickscopes was really overpowered. They decreased the ammo, so we would run around more with the primary (i'm not too mad about this one). And to fix the bodyshots, the decreased stability (so now it is superhard to double-bodyshot (irony)). Basicly, Bungie encourages people to play way more passive with snipers. After the patch i have noticed that more people are camping in a headglitchspot or just standing behind teammates and hardscoping (espescially in the Trials map of the week (Black Shield)). I'm not only mad beacuse of how they made it a lot less comfortable to use a sniper, i'm also mad in how they ''nerfed'' weapons like the doctrine of passing in comparison. The 2,5 % dammagereduction does barely make a difference, i still see too many of those weapons in PvP. Now, I won't write about the firebolts because i know Bungie probably won't even read this message, because if they did read everything on this forum the update would have a completely different outcome. But IF you (Bungie) read this, please, just look at what the big PvP'ers in the community says about this update. If you do your job correctly, I expect a update soon. A REAL update. Oh, and btw. The Prison of elders was one of the most challenging things i have ever experienced (irony).
