Shot guns have been used more in trials

Problem is with quick scope... increase aim down sights to 1.5 seconds... add sway, reduce aim assist, increase flinching.

Just add sway to snipers

Only put more flinch on 1k stare and longbow and LDR. Their aim assist makes the flinch feel like nothing. Meanwhile, No land beyond, has no aim assist and flinches just by touching the shoot button.

I don't have a problem with snipers, it's the fusion rifles that make me want to never play this game again

No, shotties have enough range. Here is a list Binary dawn, conspiracy theory-d, party crasher, invective and that taken shot gun

While I can see both arguments about snapshot and hit detection, your other suggestions and arguments seem a little off. [quote-] The body shot damage should be brought down on ALL snipers; what is the point in a shield when the most used archetype of sniper takes it and must of my health away in one shot to the body?At most they should leave you with all your health and none of your shield.[/quote] I have never seen a sniper bring health down that much, either when using it or getting hit by it. The shield is usually gone with about 75% health remaining. In addition, almost all snipers across all games are either two to the body or one to the head, with the exception of the .338 from Battlefield 4 and the 20/20 AMR7 in Destiny. [quote]- Increase flinch when being shot at while aiming with a sniper; this never used to be an issue at mid range with most weapons, but since The Mida Multitool had High Calibre Rounds taken away, there really isn't any mid range weapon that can consistently contest snipers, this has resulted in a game where nobody moves until they get a hit with a sniper.[/quote] Snipers already have a large amount of flinch and increasing it will do nothing. The problem is with the scope recovery, when the aim returns to the original point. Currently the scope will return to the original aiming point with High Caliber Rounds increasing the time for recovery and Unflinching decreases this time. A slight change to the mechanic, where the scope only recovers about 90%-95% would help solve the problem. In addition, you can still consistently contest snipers with weapons such as the Mida and the Boolean Gemini while strafing. [quote]- Return shot package to shotguns, with the range of shotguns being capped, and shot package being removed, shotguns are so unreliable, bringing shot package back would open up the game for more players who want to try other weapons but are stuck using snipers because of how powerful they currently are.[/quote] Shotguns are still reliable and a common sight in the crucible. Most that are seen are the high impact, low rate of fire ones (this is because this archetype overpowers other shotguns, but all still work against other targets).

Snipers reward a skilled hand. You don't just get good at sniping over night. It took me weeks to even be somewhat respectable. The aim assist stat doesn't even make a sniper more effective, it just rewards those who are good at drag scoping, which I am not. Scout rifles can counter snipers better than one would initially think.

I agree also spawn sniping is probably the most annoying aspect. When a gun can kill you with one shot through and over shield without you even being able to movie is ridiculous.

This is whats wrong with destiny. You cant just call nerfs on everything thats good or we end up with a very slow paced game. Bungie needs to stop nerfing things and maybe buff something bad like fusions
