Destiny needs more long range maps

Maps like first light and bastion need to make more of an appearance in future titles in destiny's life time, give the snipers of destiny more room to put their skills to the test. (No, camping out in the back with an ice breaker, or a high fire rate sniper isn't skill, it's borderline camping) It's a constant struggle in normal PvP now to actually snipe when you're being taken over by shotguns and Thorn's all the time, (you can check my characters stats. My main weapon used is a sniper rifle (Patience and Time) and I really love to be a sniper in this game), unfortunately there are a lot of close quarter maps. Most of you would say "There are a lot of points in [map] where you can snipe, stop complaining" or "play combined arms". Let me explain, I'm aware of these spots, however, I'm not the type to wait in them, I'll actually move around to get shots all over the map, and combined arms comes around every couple of weeks, so I'm forced to play in cqb maps. All I'm saying is that I want to see more long ranged maps and maybe even a "big team battle" game type in destiny or future titles. So if you are a sniper and really dislike having to snipe on shotgun maps 24/7, reply and share your thoughts. Honestly it feels great to snipe a shotgun user, however I want to go head to head with other snipers, its pretty fun like "damn he/she got me, I'll get em this time" I like sniper battles, so yeah. One more thing, if you're a kick ass sniper and looking for a group to play with, hit me up on Xbox one GT: Vaencent or find groups in here, be nice alright.

    Couldn't disagree more Edit: I'll expand. First light and bastion are terrible. The matches never finish people camp in the back the entire time crouching with snipers or crouching inside with shotguns. Then you have the vehicle abusers who just fly around annoying everyone. They're Not cool vehicles like halo they're stupid and really underwhelming / easy to kill. You may get one kill before getting wrecked on it only to run to the next vehicle and repeat the process. Why you ask? Because they're bored as hell. For anyone that actually snipes a lot maps like rusted lands, cauldron, asylum, shores of time, banner fall, frontier, memento, the portal map (I forget what it's called) all of these have plenty of space to snipe open lanes and areas where shotguns are good as well. If you're having trouble sniping on maps like this you need more practice. Sniping people with shotguns at close range is way more satisfying then getting into snipe battles imo. Although snipe battles are fun also. Personally the long range maps are boring. Mid range maps keep play quick and action packed which is what I like and a majority of other players as well. At first I didn't like vertigo cuz I got shotguned a crap ton. I'm getting much more comfortable with it now and I'm comfortably able to run tlw and snipe on it which makes it fun. The one map tlw still shines and gives me a little semi thinking about the fun I abused it for in year one. That about it.
