Snipers are becoming an epidemic. Limit special ammo.
Bungie has taken action on shotguns but has done nothing about snipers. The major problem is snipers can play through the whole match with nothing but a sniper. Special ammo my ass. There's nothing special about it if you can get it through the whole match. It should drop along with heavy ammo so you would have to choose which one you will pick up.
Also, i find myself fighting snipers up close to mid-range. Players will say to keep out of sniper lanes, but snipers are everywhere. There is no escape. Lol. It should be impossible for snipers to be able to kill you at a close range. Snipers are a long distance weapon. It's like a shotgun killing someone from across the map.
Finally, snipers don't seem to be bothered by being shot at. I can blast a sniper with whatever weapon, including heavy machine guns, and they just stand there and snipe me in the head. Not sure if this is lag or what. But it's infuriating. You should not be able to snipe under fire. That's why snipers belong at long distances. I'm not really calling for a nerf just limit special ammo to where you can't troll with your special through the whole match.
Edit 1: Lol, look at all the snipers giving me hate. Sniper rifles are on the chopping block at Bungie headquarters as we speak. Just a matter of time before something is done. It's Ok, if it makes you feel better to attack me then go ahead. Come at me haters.
Ok, I don't snipe because I'm 56 and my reflexes aren't what they used to be, but I read your post and you need to understand a few things. I just played the IB from Tue to Sat and got killed by a sniper maybe a total of 5 times during my ranking up to 5 last night. If you stand in one spot for more than 3 seconds in a lane that's more than 50 meters long than guess what, you stand a chance to be sniped. If I see a sniper scope I bail so fast my eyes can't keep up. I'll try and flank them so they're not just sitting in one spot the entire game. You mention snipers don't seem to be bothered by being shot at. Wrong. Try sneaking up on one and unloading with a shotty, grenade, or my new fav, Nirwins. They'll be toast just like any other weapon carrier. Try it sometime because it works.
It really does get very, very old with all the X weapon is OP shit. Holy mother of God, can't you people just use some tactics for once in your short 11 year lifespans, or how about this. Maybe you should grow up a little bit before you play a game like Destiny because it obviously seems to be a bit much for you. Sorry is its a bit harsh, but A LOT of people on this forum need to GROW UP!
