"Don't run in sniper lanes. No wonder snipers kill you."

How are we supposed to not run in sniper lanes when every lane is a sniper lane. [b][i]*runs around corner in a small room[/i][/b] [b][i]*BODY SHOT FROM SNIPER* *Finishes you off with TLW*[/i][/b] I don't even think Aim-Assist needs to be nerfed. Just less special ammo and maybe add more flinching and sway during the initial scope-in. Edit: the replies were great at first, but all the whiny snipers showed up. Keep the replies comin! Edit 2: There are so many people that don't know how to read. I never said that I wanted aim assist taken out or nerfed. I'll even quote myself even though its a few lines above: [quote] I don't even think Aim-Assist needs to be nerfed. [/quote] What I'm addressing in this post are the people that use their snipers as primaries/half shotguns and their primaries as a clean up, kind of like how shotguns should be used. The people who pull out their snipers at medium-close range scenarios in tight corridors, get a body shot, toe shot, whatever, get your health down, and then finish you with a primary. This is extremely easy to do. Sniper lanes and long range kills are there for a reason. Obviously if you try to challenge people at a long range with your scout rifle or hand cannon and you see that person with their scope flare aiming at you, 9/10 times you will DIE, and that's just playing like an idiot. If you also don't sprint, slide, or jump around easy sniper lanes, you will also easily get headshotted 9/10 times, but alas, that is what snipers are [b][i]intended for. [/i][/b]

  • Don't be mad because you don't have enough skill to kill someone or use said weapon yourself. Judging by your stats and medal score, you may want to gain more experience before crying like this.

    • I really think people that come to the forums to cry should at least have 1mil medal score so that they might have a valid opinion

      • It's the same logic people didn't use to pretty much obliterate shotguns (at least the shotguns I like, -blam!- the high range slow firing ones). Unlike snipers, shotgun have a limited range (even more so now) all you have to do is stay out of it. They never did that, so shotguns were nerfed (granted, a nerf was needed, the special weapons category was unbalanced). I can only hope the same happens for snipers

      • I think a better solution would be to put the old maps back in the rotation. At least they encouraged different playstyles. Every ttk map seems like it has been hand picked to promote nothing but long range gunplay. There is no variety to them.

      • Descope when getting hit would make me laugh but that would simply kill sniping. More flinch is what they need.

        • The fact that aim assist is so strong and since the game has terrible hit detection to where you can't jump snipe and have to be basically stationary to snipe and hit them it just zaps the soul out of it. Also this is Bungie who worked on halo, a huge competitive game that was aimed towards skill based players.....

          Let me help you with the majority of snipers 1. Dont go to that spot, you know where it is 2. If you see someone aiming at you with a sniper, dont peak again 3. Dont charge/straight towards them 4. Jump over where there sights are A. Jump around corners 5. Get close, be patient when you move. 6. Throw grenades 7. If you get body shotted A. Dont peak out again B. Run far from the spot you got hit from My personal weakness is that spot and i know where it is.

                • WE DO NOT NEED LESS SPECIAL! I go match after match sometimes without getting special. Don't Nerf special because snipers can hoard their ammo.

                  • If you were a good player you would know how to move around the map, nade choke points and break line of sight when needed.

                    • OP translated: "snipers are OP" In reality: BSK a shotgun team, mercied Primal, a sniper team in the championship game, on shores of time. One of the best sniper maps in game, so no snipers are not OP.

                      • If someone is watching I blink around the corner, job done. If they're watching from a distance I don't go around the corner. Sometimes you'll get caught out but that's the way it is

                      • Im proud to say in this doubles tonight, I did not die to a sniper shot. A couple groups tried using them, but once you see lense flare, take another route. I took body shots here & there but was able to recover as I hit my escape route. Snipers are overused, and I fully support "reverse falloff" so weapons like Snipers & scouts lose damage the closer they get. But if you pay attention and play with caution, they arent too difficult to avoid/flank.
