Video:To all those saying "Shut up shotgun nub. You can't make dis post unless you use the OP weapon U make argument against. U can't snipez , cuz you barely even use dem."
Snipers have may be the most skilled, but do they really have a high learning curve in Destiny, if not, a learning curve at all? Let's see why I believe they need nerfing:
-The ridiculous impact snipers can one shot revived enemies, completely ruining the point of over shields on revives
-Very High Target Acquisition makes head shots extremely easy to get
-Little to No Recoil allows for follow up shots to be extremely easy with little to no effort
-No Sway, allowing players to be completely agile and spam fire while maintaining targets
-No velocity limitations (Why would bungie add Hakkë weapons with velocity buffs, yet there are no limitations/mechanics to make this relevant? This applies to all weapons)
-High rates of fire (Similar to scout rifles)
-Head shot hit boxes are big, allowing for ridiculous one shot kills that shouldn't happen (Neck, shoulder, ect)
-Semi high ROF snipers with all listed above.... Really, Bungie?
-Conspiracy Theory-D
-Can outgun regular CQC weapons because of all listed above
-I recommend Nerfing the salty community as well. Nerf cries are running rampant on things that don't even need it. (In short, don't always listen to the bitching unless you actually looked into it.)
Other than that, they're completely fine and only skilled players can use them, right? (Obvious sarcasm) No, but seriously, something needs to be done about this. Anyone else agree?

Edited by It Is Jason: 10/18/2015 9:14:57 AMIf they are so good why do that vast majority run around with a shotgun all the time, including you. Could it be the vast majority of maps are close quarters? Could it be that shotguns can kill WITHOUT headshots at range, could it be that hiding around a corner is a lot easier than aiming while being fired upon? Hmm seems quite clear why every noon uses a shotgun and think they are good, so let me ask you WHY DO YOU NOT USE ONE? The ONLY thing a sniper has over a shotgun is range, everything else a sniper is less powerful than a shotgun and the reason there is no drop off is because most of the maps are too -blam!-ing small, in combined arms you notice the drop off. Recoil is equal depending on gun Target acquisition is better on shotguns Range better on snipers Aim under fire is insanely better on shotguns Hip fire insanely better on shotguns Difficulty to use shotguns are massively easier Rate of fire equal depending on gun Impact no sniper can one shot to body People who argue snipers are op are idiots, if they are op go -blam!-ing use one and see how well you do, all I use is a sniper because I prefer the challenge of AIMING instead of running up to someone and having a massive area of damage to hit.
