I consider myself a decent sniper, but when I go into Crucible, I'm wrecked beyond belief. There are guys who headshot me the very second they scope in. It's -blam!-ing ridiculous! I don't understand how they do it!
EDIT: A lot of people are saying that they get their skill from Halo. However, I actually snipe very well in Halo, but not-so-well in Destiny.

Not trying to sound too cocky, but i view myself as a very good sniper. I wouldn't say any game in particular has made me very good at it, i think it is just years of playing has made me able to sweep over heads and just shoot. More of it is positioning and knowing when to engage and when not to. For example, i was playing a Trials game vs a sniper and a dude with thorn. i won, but only because i managed to outplay the sniper and then surprise the dude rushing in with thorn. Most people seem to just be like 'Oh, i'll hard scope down here and i will certainly get a kill' but it doesnt work like that really. Pre-ejaculating by looking at the area that people 'ought' to be leads to them moving there eventually. just kill em and close in on another, especially if they go for a revive
