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

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)

Agreed on everything but halo. They added destiny levels of bullet mag on the sniper in halo 5.

2 RepliesHate to say this but Battlefield hasn't had good sniping mechanics since the Vietnam DLC. The bullet drops and velocities are disgustingly off from their real life counterparts. Try Arma or something else man.
-
it is
-
Destiny is my first and only online FPS i have ever played up to now. So i can't really compare.
-
The only sniper from CoD , that I miss is the 50.cal . That was best friend.
-
I've been asking for the option to turn off aim assist since day 1 I miss more shots because I keep fighting the aim assist
-
What are you saying!
-
I beg to differ. Sniping in H5 is cake
-
You can quick scope in CoD...... lol

I can snipe in halo but not destiny. I got platinum in snipes this weekend but I suck ass at destiny sniping lol.
-
You're right.
-
I understand the halo argument because sniping can be hard in halo if you are not used to it, I have not played battlefield since the 2nd one and Cod is easier then destiny IMO.

2 RepliesHow is halo sniping difficult? In halo if you hip fire the sniper it still goes right where you are aiming No other game does that sniping may be easy in destiny but in halo you don't even need the scope
-
I snipe a lot in destiny. Its way too easy. Aim assist on a sniper is a joke.
-
Started reading this post. Realized you have a trials KD well under 1. Saw that you have less than 5000 kills with a sniper. Then deemed your post not worthy
-
1 ReplyLol what... sniping in cod is by far the easiest shit ever.. battlefield is the only game you mentioned where sniping actually requires more skill. If people wanted to play sniping simulators they have sniper elite for that, destiny sniping is fine the way it is.
-
Have you ever played other games? In most of them you simply aim for the chest and fire, much easier than Destiny where you have to aim for the head...
-
This isn't Halo, or Gears, or Battlefield. This is Destiny. Want to play something competitive? Don't play Destiny.
-
Only skilled sniping is in Doom.
-
7 Replies8k shotgun kills. 4K sniper kills. And only 37% precision kills. You're just bad at sniping all together. Even in an "easy" game. So easy to snipe in cod. Especially with the chest or above ohk. Halo you don't even have to zoom lol. Please just stop.
-
Who gives a crap about what other games do or don't do? If you get killed too much in Crucible go do something else heck stick with halo no one will miss you in Destiny
-
5 RepliesCOD has crazy aim assist too fyi
-
3 RepliesEdited by BUCKETOFAWESOME: 12/7/2015 3:55:49 PMCOD is so easy to snipe... Makes destiny snipes look mlg comparatively. Battlefield on the other hand... It isn't hard more as it is fun.
-
Cod and halo are the same, while battlefield has bullet travel and drop. The only one that isn't easy is battlefield
-
1135m headshot in BF4. Destiny is too easy to snipe in. All semi auto snipers (except NLB) No Bullet drop No (noticeable) change in moving vs. not moving ADS accuracy. I don't believe that sniping is OP in this game, it's average when compared to other games, but leaving the physics out entirely, makes it super simple.
