If you can snipe in BF, props to you. Bullet drop, angles and distance, etc. Was something I never got a handle on.

If it's so easy why do you only have a 42% headshot kill ratio?

I have noticed tht the head hit box is considerably larger than it was pre-december update i am now getting 20-30 kills with my sniper and 75% of them being head shots

The assistance this game gives you in general is some of the most I've seen in a console game TBH. Only rivaled by Titanfall on PC where if you used a controller the game itself would give you aimbot levels of assistance (it was a joke really), and possibly MW3 where when enemies got close it would lock on through walls.

I played halo. Easier to sniper. No flinching on the snipers. Players move slower too.

Really? I find it easier to snipe in halo. Always has. Sure there is way less bullet magnitism but jump sniping which is pretty much impossible in Destiny (not counting angel of light perk and exotic) is easy in Halo. Its a little harder but at the same time a lot easier.

Battlefield sniping is in its own league. Not even fair

Honestly I find myself better in halo

[quote]Hell I've been playing team snipers in halo all day. The whole mode is snipers only with unlimited ammo and I'm hitting far less headshots than I do in destiny. Most shots everyone fired miss even. It takes little to no skill to snipe in destiny with far too much ammo. In CoD and battlefield not only do you sacrifice your primary to snipe you also have hold breath and sway and leading shots and bullet drop. In halo and gears there's still less aim assist and these are power weapon pickups with one on each map... You have to fight for them. In destiny you're given way too much ammo, too much aim assist, etc. TL;DR sniping is too easy in destiny. Either give even less special ammo to make people use primaries more or reduce the aim assist severely PS if you really don't notice this difference after playing other games you're just lying to yourselves. Maybe you're mad cuz you felt you fancied yourself a good sniper and you feel slighted. Well if you were a good sniper I'm pretty sure you see the skill difference in other games immediately. Not saying you can't be great at sniping in Destiny just saying the difficulty curve is lacking too much so that pretty much anyone who sucks at sniping in other games (such as myself) can pick one up and do well making the game far too campy. Idk about you guys but I prefer a fast paced non pussy/campy meta... Thought everyone did the way people complain about campers Edit: http://youtu.be/fLKj9OwHOJc frame by frame vid. Ignore the firefly Kill it's the fact that he shoots way closer to the guy in back and now where near the guy in front in the frame he shoots yet still lands this headshot. I end up doing shit like this all the time while under heavy fire and knowing I didn't deserve the kill. Why can't people admit that maybe their shot was a little BS? Edit 2: Yup. Lol anyone who has to look up stats is a pleb. And I know this isn't pleading my case well but there's a reason for all those body shot kills... Let's just say they were 1 shot body shot kills... In my defense this was pre TTK when literally everyone was doing it with Efrideets Spear (believe it or not it was harder to hit bodies with that than heads with 1000 yard stare. The thing has like 0 aim assist as snipers should. The body shotting was cheap though at least that was removed unlike super high aim assist. Go check aim assist on Efrideets compared to thousand yard stare. That's how snipers should be (minus final round)[/quote] Lol. I'm a sniper in Destiny, when I played cod 3 for the first time I was amazed at how much harder it was. No field of view to speak of, scope moves a lot slower plus it sways. Makes for some really fun and frustrating games.

destiny sniping > halo 5 sniping

Halo sniping on big maps is my fave. That's all I know. http://xboxclips.com/GHOST+9o5/03cab27e-e2f0-41ed-ba43-fc92297a5f89

https://youtu.be/QOm-OQ5zGiI https://youtu.be/84i2ZlcclY4 https://youtu.be/5CvRyTW-UUw Harder to snipe in cod destiny has higher aim assist....about that

Destiny's multiplayer is intentionally balanced like this for the sake of accessibility. If you so ardently wish destiny sniping was more like halo sniping...play halo.

Unless you suck at snipes. Gg rip me.

The main reason is because there is no sway at all

I agree. Every other game takes skill to snipe

hell yeah it does

Cod sniping is easy mode. Use the default sniper with silencer, just rapid 2 hit kill or a headshot. Or you can just do hard core and one hit everyone
