Bump. agreed. Snipers are so EAST to use in this game. All you do is aim down sights and shoot. 2 body shots will kill you, even if shot in the foot....NO SKILL required! The sniper is NOT the same as it was in year one because they have increased stability on all snipers and they have hella high aim assisst. There isnt much penalty for using the sniper. No slow drawing of the sniper or latency on switching between the weapons like theyve done to shotguns. Also the flinch is waaaay down when getting shot while sniping which is stupid

I'm seriously about to throw in the towel with crucible in this game. People never will stop bitching. I understand snipers are about to become really popular and everyone will stand in a hallway hardscoping. I understand. That's a issue of special ammo amounts, not of snipers. Your current arguement is flawed.

  • How is it flawed? Sniper rifles are NOT balanced in this game. There is NO downside. The only way you get alot of flinch when sniping is when multiple people are shooting you from long range. 1 on 1 there is barely ANY flinch. Plus there are perks on this game to reduce flinch that already is not apparent on snipers. So you actually think it is balanced for someone to shoot you in the face 4 TIMES for you not to be dead and you just 1 shot the person that was shooting the HeLL out of YOU in the face like he just wasnt -blam!-ing your face with bullets?! You just seem like a camper to me

  • Nah, I don't camp. Special ammo needs reduced by 50%. How often does that happen though? It's the swaying of the scope and stability, the flinching causes the scope to sway up and onto your head often. If you remove AA from snipers there will be [i]no[/i] and I mean nobody sniping at all. This game will return to shotguns all day everyday. Something needs to compete with snipers. They don't need put in the floor. We will have made it full circle on nerf. Fusions, shottys, snipers, what's next? Shottys again or sidearms? All snipers in this game have some amount of AA. It's hard enough to hit someone directly on the head when they are shooting at you, even harder if there is no assistance.

  • I agree with you. They dont need nerfing to shit but they are the only gun type that has not been balanced. They are trying to make the game feel more realistic with the gun combat but its not realistic with snipers. I get shot by Red Death alot while using my primary and notice the flinch. Getting shot by Red Death with high calibur rounds using a sniper, bye bye brains! It needs a slight tweaking not a nerf from hell
