Anomoly is filled with the tears of dirty diaper, 1000yd stare starter kit, hardscoping snipers. Most have so much trouble when they can't hard scope a 4 inch gap on their screen. After my first flawless card which took 45 minutes I went and did this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBzetkXqnqs

    Trials map this week is anti sniping. So I enjoyed having an easy passage against hardscopers AKA bad campy snipers, who were completely lost on Friday. After I played a Skirmish which I sniped so I could record it, talk shit about 99% of the snipers, and have a video of me hitting snipe shots. That way nobody called me a noob that's just complaining about snipers cause I can't snipe.

  • Bad snipers are the same as bad shotgunners: they make up the vast majority of the playerbase and are usually outplayed by better players. whether they use a sniper or a shottie, it's the same thing. In my experience at least.

    Well the new meta, when 6/10 people are sniping and the majority are not very good. It still isn't that difficult for them to get kills. Funny how people complain about shitguns but when you miss a snipe you're much safer in your lil bush campin across the map, and can just strafe behind cover. Anyways people will more than likely wish shitguns didn't get nerfed to the ground in December when every IB match is a 6v6 sniper fests. Trials is w/e most teams ran 2 snipers before, but now it's more like 3 snipers every match. Quite frankly It's boring, shotgun pushing is more exciting and less forgiving if you make a mistake. More awareness is needed imo.

    Overall I think both snipers and shotguns will always be a balance issue. if you can use them effectively, they will always beat out primary weapons, just because of their one hit kill nature. If you know your ammo spawns, you can run around the entire game with a shotgun/sniper/Fusion Rifle. I think special ammo availability is the real problem. Imagine if in Halo you spawned with a sniper rifle/shotgun and could use it for the entire game. You'd barely use a Battle Rifle since the sniper or shotgun has so much more kill potential. The way Destiny is built to have us spawning with these power weapons will make it very, very hard for Bungie to balance them.

  • If they made snipers unable to strafe when hardscoping for one, it would help balance it a lot. Also aiming and running with a sniper should be slower than with a primary. Currently they're easier to handle than primaries, that's a problem. For shitguns they should get rid if the high range high impact Conspiracy Theory types. That would help with balancing a great deal.

  • If you can't get through anomaly without getting sniped that is your fault. There are so many corners and routes to take its ridiculous.
