The number of people using snipers is ruining Iron Banner.

I have no problem with snipers themselves, I don't really feel like they're all that great, but the sheer number of players using snipers in Iron Banner is honestly ruining the flow of the game. It's currently slowed down way too much because people fear being picked off around every corner they turn, and certain parts of maps are being shut down completely by just 1-2 people using snipers. Something needs to be done with the other three special weapon types so players are more likely to use all four types equally, instead of 95% using just snipers. It's getting quite ridiculous now, and there's a large number of my friends deciding to skip iron banner, and the crucible all together because of it, which I find sad. Edit: This has nothing to do with being killed by a sniper or that I think they're overpowered. This is about the amount of people using them and how it ruins the flow of the maps and game in general. Please stop responding with the typical "learn how to counter it" that has nothing to do with anything, even when I do flank them and everything suggested, I can't do anything about teammates that still continually run out and get picked off trying to counter snipe, and other stupid shit that eventually loses the game. Edit: Day 4 of Iron Banner, started to play on my hunter after achieving rank 5 on my warlock. The land is still corrupt with red glows as far as I can see. Turn a corner, get picked off. Run to cover, get picked off. Enter a room, get picked off. Use super, get picked off. Out shoot enemy, get picked off by said enemy at any given range. Spawn, get picked off. Return to orbit, get picked off. This is just sad.

      • I've participated in every Iron Banner...except this one. Played til day 3 and was like this is literally all anyone has been doing. Camping with snipers. In every fps that has an online pvp, camping is considered a no skill tactic, yet in Destiny somehow it takes skill to camp with a sniper. I play bf4 and most lobbies people are running around even the snipers. Bo3 the majority of people are moving around. Destiny...everyone is camping with a sniper.

          • Made for a few boring games but overall I found it fun, figuring out ways to get around the lanes and flank. Trying to push people out of those lanes with grenades, it made the whole experience more tactical. Getting singled out and shotgunned amidst my team constantly by rushers with the conspiracy theory...not so much.

                    • I've been in a ton of matches where half the team stays in their spawn hard scoping and the other half crouches behind a corner with a shotgun, whatever works for you I guess but that's just boring to me. I'm not good at pvp but at least I move around and have fun.

                    • Clash: the lack of objectives makes the player run around and create choke points for themselves. They would stand in one area picking off targets as they go by protecting the area. If we got to objective play such as capture. Most people would guard points or rush with shotguns. Some would snipe their targets off the point. This is common knowledge for any game.

                      • Snipers don't flinch enough when being shot. If I'm pinging a guy with a scout or pulse from range he should not be able to headshot me as he's being flinched. If they've got the unflinching perk on the sniper then fine. Most do not and can still readily pull off headshots while being hit. Other than that snipers are fine as they are.

                        • Fun fact: Black Spindle can kill low armor/lower light players with a single body shot. They have to be 290 something and you have to be 310+.

                            • Defender Titan bubble and grenades, flank like crazy. Put enough hurt on them and they will give up. Poor gamesmanship is sadly not limited Ib had a couple of idiots fire team up and go in to mayhem rumble and they used bubbles and shot guns against the rest of the match players.
