Sniper Flinch
Sure making snipers flinch terribly might have been a good idea to you, but all the people who like to be somewhat aggressive with a sniper heavily dislike this nerf and it is continually getting in my nerves. I would prefer far less flinch because as the meta goes currently, it's hard enough to aim while being hit by a pulse rifle at medium to long sniper range, especially with oversized rounds. So please return the sniper flinch to where it was or at least heavily reduce it.

Snipers are fine,no land needs to be affected by flinch.I could be strafing,doming a guy with grasp, an he can still pull off a crispy headshot on me with no land at pulse range, smh.

Aggressive sniping should not be a thing in this game and Bungie agrees. It goes directly against their vision for the weapon class. In their own words "Long range weapon that is difficult to use in shorter ranges" You simply just want a high powered 1HK weapon in more ranges yet so many of you want shotguns nerfed. Snipers are not meant to be 'useful' in shorter ranges. It's not their role and before the change made them be chosen over primaries for a lot of people.

4 RepliesNo. If you don't get off the first shot - and kill me with it - you shouldn't be trying to go toe-to-toe to get that headshot while taking fire. The flinch forces you to move, regroup, find another setup, and wait. Sniping should be a sit-and-wait playstyle; not aggressive run-n-gun. The flinch does its job to keep sniper rifles out at their intended ranges.

Agreed it's a little much. Anyway good players easily were able to counter snipers by sliding or jumping into the sniper's sight and flinching them up with shots making it near impossible to hit a snipe. Anyone who complained about being sniped while shooting a sniper simply wasn't utilizing movement properly and was simply walking through doors at head level asking to be decapitated.

23 RepliesThe flinch is to stop hardscoping down a lane. at the top of the sniper meta, players would aim down lanes without fear, getting shot at wouldnt flinch enough to stop you from getting domed. A sniper shouldnt be used under fire its a percision weapon.

Get to where the guys are that shoot you in the head at point blank range and you'll have no more worries. Lol. Flinch is very effective for hard scoping.

1 ReplySniper flinch is exactly where it needs to be. They just need to apply it to NLB. They could return the low zoom to sniper scopes and increase the reserve ammo. Also removing HCR's from 77 RoF pulse rifles would be okay, in my book. They should also return HCR's to MIDA, in my opinion.

6 RepliesEdited by Dexter307: 2/7/2017 12:27:17 AMDon't be overly aggressive with a sniper then. Snipers are fine as they are.

5 RepliesI give credit for the guys that are able to do it, but sniper rifles are for long ranged combat, not rushing around and quick scoping. Sniping is about positioning and accuracy. It got old laying into a guy that was sniping and still having him pull of the head shot. Sorry but this should not happen as often as it did. No land beyond users should also have increased flinch when getting shot.

1 ReplyIf snipers had less flinch you would be here asking for a nerf... They have no sway, some of them have high aim assist, and you still want to have little to no flinch. It's not the weapon, it's you.

Main thing I want is ohk all supers again hunters at Max armour can't even survive whereas Titan and warlock can really fair.

4 RepliesFor every death by sniper bodyshots, I die to sniper headshot 50 other times. And what sniper flinch? It doesn't matter what primary I'm using, the sniper will be sitting there about to die and *crack* headshot.
-
1 Replyi can agree with a small reduction to flinch but not a complete revert. mainly the issue with snipers is because of hcr on other weapons that makes sniper flinch horrible.
-
2 RepliesNo. Sniper are good where they at, besides snipers are starting to make a comeback.
