I've played it alot and I have been mainly raping, especially with sniper.
I seem to get sniped pretty easily though, so it must be pretty damn easy for everyone to use the sniper.
Also, in my opinion from playing that past few days, the best way to use the DMR is to shoot twice and then let the bloom reset, and then repeat. It works very well but alot of the time people can spam and win fights, or get lucky.
Another thing I have noticed is the host. Most games are fine for me, but sometimes I can tell when the host is bad, or who is host. There shots are more powerful and they are harder to kill. Other than that everything has been going smoothly.
That's the DMR rhythm that I use and I think I've only been beat in a gunfight three times when I had the first shot. I don't think the cooldown is as dramatic as all the bad people make it. And you're probably getting sniped a lot because of the massive amount of people that are hardscoping because they don't realize that this game is full of remakes and that most people already have a set strategy on how to play the maps from a few years ago.
I noticed this on Sanctuary especially, people will sprint to the snipe and then just sit where it spawns and hardscope across the map. That or they jetpack on top of the tower it spawns in. It's fun to watch the simple strategies take shape because they're all really easy to break through.
I think the host on this game is awesome because it's not like Halo 3's style of hosting where if your team doesn't pull host you don't win. I think the Green/Yellow/Red bars are actually more accurate of displaying everyone's personal connection in this game than they were in H3 also. It's a huge improvement.
