Yeah, snipers don't want to admit they are using Op weapons and like to delude themselves into thinking they actually take skill to use. Snipers in Destiny are just ridiculously easy to use compared to pretty much all other fps. In Halo you descope when you take fire. In Destiny, snipers barley get a tickle when taking fire and can still get head shots and if not they easily get a body shot which takes you down to crit, then all you need to do is pull your primary out and finish them off. Ridiculously easy. And could you imagine the salt from Destiny snipers if they had to descope when taking fire? But it's commonplace in other games where snipers actually take skill. In Battlefield you don't have hitscan. Hitscan is when you shoot the bullet from the sniper the shot hits instantaneously. Destiny snipers don't have to predict where a player will be or deal with bullet falloff. In battlefield, if you directly aim at an enemy player that is moving sideways to you and fire you will miss. Obviously, having to predict where an enemy player will be while they are moving around on the map is much more difficult than just aiming at the head and getting a kill no matter how the enemy player is moving. Snipers in Destiny basically get an endless supply of ammo. They can use snipers the whole match. Nuff said on that. It's obviously Op to have as much special ammo as you want. This also applies to shotguns. Snipers in Destiny can kill you up close to mid range. This should be impossible, plain and simple. Snipers are a long distance weapon. And coupled with the fact that flinch isn't that much of an issue you see snipers getting kills anywhere on the map. You always hear snipers say to stay out of sniper lanes. But there are no sniper lanes. Snipers can be lethal everywhere on the map. Snipers can equip, ready, aim and fire their weapon at a rapid rate. It's so cheap to start to get into a firefight with a player and start to get the upper hand only for the enemy to panic and take out a sniper and fire at you in the blink of an eye. In most games there are heavy restrictions on how fast you can handle snipers. Not in Destiny. They are super fast to equip and aim and easy to handle. Aim assist. My god, aim assist. Snipers should not have any aim assist what so ever. Yup, it's hilarious to see snipers bragging about how much skill they have. They have none. If you don't think snipers in Destiny are Op then you are absolutely delusional.
