They wanted to add a less punishing mechanic in the game for new players. It throws you off target and makes fighting snipers impossible, and since they have camo they can just hide and snipe. The only time you know theres a sniper is when you get killed from a head shot or your scope kicks up 50 degrees so you cant fight anybody. Nice balancing 343.
I find flinch a lot easier to deal with than descoping… but I wish that 343 would put descoping back in.

Ummmm…
that’s the point bro.

Stop running out in the open then and start using common sense more. If you think there is a sniper out there, scan the horizon with your reticule or just wait for him to fire.
It’s not that hard to figure out.

So your saying the point was to unbalance the game? And i dont run in the open, i try to suppress the sniper from cover so my team can move up. But no it doesnt work and i know im hitting him too.
Camo sniper is broken. if you try to go to his side of the map you will get spammed to death by DMRs. If you shoot him he will run away and find another rock to camp behind.
All you gotta do is stop playing. I went back to Halo 3 for it’s simplistic feel. I love the feeling of still landing the sniper head shot right after de-scoping! And camo is much more rare in Halo 3, and it’s limited. Halo 4 has a lot of balancing issues (mostly the boltshot and DMR). The only thing bad about Halo 3 is how long it takes to find a game.
Also I believe there’s a specialization that allows you to unlock the ability to be less affected by flinch. I think it’s the Rouge spec.
Flinch isn’t all that bad. This community complains that the hardcore fan base has been left out. Yeah, Spartans are super-soldiers with billion dollar suits, but if you got shot, you would flinch too. If you kept shooting at guy in MLG, it turns into CoD gameplay, where both players have the pleasure of knowing they can annihilate the other player without a doubt.

There was no real reason to replace descoping. Flinch is broken descoping isnt i dont care about realism i care about balance.

CoD isn’t balanced, was what I tried to get at. CoD multiplayer is basically “I see you there, you’re dead now and because of my gun speed, there’s nothing you can do about it.”
