…there would be no more sniper montages, people! I mean, can you [i]imagine[/i]: you hop-on and scroll down through all of the blah, blah, blah of the TWaB, only to find the Movie of the Week section devoid of sniper montages? Oh, [i]the horror[/i]. [spoiler]Kidding. Nerf sniper rifles. Remove all short-range optics, and increase flinch when body-shot and complete de-scope when headshot. And for the record: I really enjoy a lot of the sniper montages. Many of them highlight true skill both with the gun type and in video editing. However, even the best sniper montages have cheap-ass kills in equal or greater measure to skill kills. Wonder how the montage guys would do without short-range optics, and with increased flinch and critical hit de-scope. Skilled snipers would still get their kills, perhaps just not as many that are montage-worthy. And therein lies the rub, eh? Bungie knows that nerfing sniper rifles would result in streamers throwing hissy fits; which in turn would result in streamer-followers throwing hissy fits…and that’s just too much hissy for Bungie to handle.
