Shotguns take even less skill to use than snipers. And i didn't say snipers don't have skill. The problem is the perks and ammo. The unflinching perk allows snipers to play up close and personal, where they don't belong. And players can easily play with their special weapons as their primary.
I have to deal with snipers as much as auto rifles and pulses at close to mid range. A sniper pops out about 10 step ahead, i start to blast him in the head with my pulse, but with the unflinching perk he can just stand there line up his shot and instakill me. Obviously an unfair advantage. If a sniper gets me at long range then good for him. It takes some skill and i shouldn't have been in a sniper zone.
And that's OK. I really don't need the practice. I'm smart enough to get a top 5% K/D ratio. Not the best in the world, but probably better than yours.

If you really want to know, I have about a 1.7...and top 1% in precision kills according to DTR. Not the best, but then again I never claimed to be anything close to the best, and frankly, I don't see many others running a NLB anymore. Look, the fact is that, first off, unflinching isn't as great as people make it out to be. I can testify personally to that, as can others such as PlanetDestiny. Second off, I'm questioning how much, or little, experience you have with snipers. Close-quarters sniping is [i]much[/i] harder than long-range. Much less forgiving and much more demanding. If someone can pop you up close and personal, props to them. It's not as easy as it looks or as easy as you're trying to make it out to be. As for ammo, it's no different than shotguns or fusions. Ammo, of all things, I find to be a [i]very[/i] weak argument as to why snipers are supposedly OP. So, in closing, if you don't need the practice and you've got the experience, then why are you being outplayed, and complaining about it? Now, I'm not trying to insult you, but merely asking a question. And, remember, [i]everyone[/i], even the pros, need practice.

Edited by XAMANDER: 11/2/2015 5:22:52 AMHow childish? Well, you insulted me by pretty much saying to "git gud" and i need to get some brains and stop complaining. Childish indeed. And if you're telling the truth (you hide your stats) then your K/D is barely better than mine. And a sniper boasting about precision kills....HA...HA HA! Yeah, that's what snipers do for almost every single kill. I have lots of experience with snipers, just with a different perspective than you. I can tell you with for an absolute fact i get killed by snipers at close to mid range a whole lot more than long distance snipers. And Bungie has stated many times they want snipers to be a long distance gameplay weapon. Just they want shotguns at close range, autos at close to mid range, hand cannons at close to mid range, pulses at mid to mid-long range and scouts at mid to mid-long range. All hold true for all weapon types except......Snipers. Snipers are taking advantage of a broken game by getting up close, away from where they're meant to be and overpowering other weapons with one shot kills. Getting hit by a sniper at 5 feet away is like getting killed by a shotgun all the way across the map. It shouldn't happen and Bungie agrees. And being able to use special weapons as your primary all the way through matches is easy. Special weapons are obviously more powerful than primaries. Bungie has also stated they don't want players to use specials more than primaries. And i don't get outplayed by snipers, obviously. I get a lot more kills than deaths. I'm winning most my encounters. But i can smell an OP weapon, and i'm going to call it out. Just like i did with Thorn. So in conclusion, Bungie agrees with me and you snipers are taking advantage of a broken game......That will probably be fixed.

Unflinching doesn't do anything on snipers. You literally can't tell a difference. So your argument is invalid..

Edited by Novastone: 11/2/2015 5:11:27 AMWhy keep mentioning kill death ratio, a meaningless statistic.
