The flinch wasn't needed... It's merely almost impossible to counter snipe a pulse rifle now

I summed this up pretty nicely on another post a few days ago. Let me see if I can remember. Something along these lines. In my OPINION The purpose of a sniper rifle in PvP is to pick off unsuspecting opponents at range. Once your position has been compromised you should... 1) relocate 2) engage in a risky battle with a primary 3) or my personal favorite option...use your primary because you are obviously within engagement range if you are taking that kind of damage. This is the problem that I see with both snipers and shotguns. People want to be able to use them for all situations and that should not be the case. My two cents

So we're just nerfing player skill at this point? Ok.
