Just ran a combined arms match earlier yesterday.
As a titan with a weapons bubble, you might as well stamp me as a sniper universally from now on. The match was fun for me. Why?
Icebreakers impact needs to be nerfed. One body shot is a confirmed kill and combustion does occur. Tanks? Evadeable, but can be a problem depending on the map and bubble placement. Other vehicles? Can't survive with an Icebreaker hitting plus damage.
That's the feedback I have right now. I'd honestly add about 7 or 8 to the natural stability of the rifle since it is a single shot from an energy base. No metals in the chamber or shot to really make a sniper rifles recoil so badly, but hey, that's just me. I'd also add .5 to 1 second off the charge time just to compensate for only 6 shots (2 body shots means 3 of 6 is dead and now need to wait for more charge shots. Even with delays in enemy movements, engagements in destiny are lightning fast. All guns should compensate for that logic.)
Thoughts, comments, concerns about icebreaker? Share away.

So you're one of the guys that must be hoping bungie was lying when they said there would be no more updates this game. We're 5 months away from this game being completely dead. Stop your whining, stay out of sniper lanes & I promise you wont be as angry with that ice breaker. You're a slightly better PvP guy than I am. That being said, Ice Breaker was fine pre-nerf & it's still fine post nerf. You're being killed by it a lot because of the special ammo nerf and that's the only weapon that you can continuously get ammo for with no effort. A lot of players in this game want those ohk weapons that make them feel like a pro and the Ice Breaker is one of the only options left. Why do players in this game that scream nerf ALWAYS have to attack OVERUSED guns? Why does [u][i]overpowered[/i][/u] and [u][b]overused[/b][/u] mean the same thing to you nerf herders???
