Snipers have been the bane of my existence since the beginning of this game. I've found ways to get around it, but since the latest update, I have found that I simply cannot compete with a sniper.
I could be shooting him square in the -blam!-ing head with an auto rifle and he/she still finds a way to get a headshot in the middle of being shot. It's because the aim assist on all snipers is too great. This needs to be fixed/lowered by a degree especially on 1000yard stare. Show me one person who doesn't consistently use that gun in PvP.
Also, medium-slow auto rifles need a base damage boost of 1 damage point, for precision and base shots. Not a 2.5% damage increase, just up it by one so the medium autos do 21-22 precision damage and slow shooters do 26-27 (as long as you are in effective range).
I play this he too much since the beginning so I know my shit. Fix the problem, asshats

1 ResponderI think that aim assist is the go to complaint that many have however I would counter that I don't think that is universally the problem (though it may be a problem). Fighting snipers with auto rifles is plausible and counter sniping is fun the real danger imo is unflinching. This is the feature that allows some snipers to hold on target while being shot in the face. Perhaps Bungie should consider that when a player is being auto rifled in the face that it should be hard to aim regardless of a gun perk.
