They've only gone and removed Final Round from snipers in PvP. I can count the amount of times I've burned to Final Round on one hand, I just didn't do it. Now my favourite rifle (LDR-Shortgaze/Double Down/Field Scout/Perfect Balance/Final Round) has a worthless last perk. I couldn't give two hoots about the weapon balancing, but that has annoyed me.
Didnt realise the changes were coming into effect so soon, thought it would be with the DLC
I thought we got to keep final round but it only counted if a crit shot which makes no difference on a high impact sniper anyway?
"The Final Round perk on Sniper Rifles should still require precision shots"
"Changes:
Final Round on Sniper Rifles buffs precision damage only, not base damage
This change only affects this perk when combined with Sniper Rifles"

Short update as I'm on my phone but guess what dropped in the Nightfall earlier this week? Yes, Celestial Nighthawk. That's four times in a row now Xur has sold something which dropped for me the same week. If I get another Gally he's sure to sell it so watch out!
I'll be back on Monday afternoon. Have a good weekend all.

You're right, the perk is still there it just only activates on a crit which is a headshot kill anyway. The only possible advantage is that the lower impact rifles might be able to Final Round headshot a revive shield.
I've got another pretty good LDR and a couple of spears, so all is not lost. It's just that a man's bond with his favourite sniper rifle is a special one. You understand that right?!?...........Singh? You MUST understand that?!? Or maybe it's just me
I do, dude, I do. 
My go-to PvP sniper (an ES with double down and firefly) was at risk of being re-rolled for final round IF I got another ES which then rolled for the same perks that I currently have. This obviously isn't needed now. Having said that, I'm not sure I could have actually gone through with it and re-rolled my baby. We've got history together. She was there when S99ane first suggested that there should be a range of "Crota sex toys".
The shame of it.

@ Shane.Bloody cheats in ToO, absolutely rediculous, they use some kind of lag switch so they can't take any damage then stand In the zone for the final couple of seconds and storm fist.
Recorded it and will post up, you literally can't damage any of them, hopefully when bungie see it they can ban them or tell their parents or something.

Essentially one of them would run around and die a lot,the guy who could not be killed would revive them as he could not die then would sit in the middle and wait for the time to run out, use his special to win the game, you could not kill him or the other one. We won a couple of rounds by knocking him out e control zone when he did not have a special and his teammates were dead. They couldn't even cheat well!
Eventually went 9 for 2 after that and got some goodies.

It's so blatant as well - how did they think they'd get away with it?
I take it you've reported them to Bungie - both in game and on the Bungie Help Forum?
I have no idea what they're doing there, but hopefully they'll be permanently banned.

Yeah, really annoying, reported in game and in the forums with the video, just such a cheap way of getting a win.
Hopefully Bungie ban them.
If you were 7 or 8 games in to a clean sweep, you would be pretty pissed off coming up against them.
Thing is, even if they are permanently banned from Destiny (which they should be and I guess is the best we can hope for), can't they just set up another PS4 account and start again?Hopefully Bungie ban them.

I find it really sad that there are people out there who are quite happy to blatantly cheat all in a bid to "win" some match in a video game which, let's face it, doesn't really matter in the slightest in reality. They may have the spoils, but they didn't really win anything, no satisfaction of doing it properly but these types are so morally corrupt they probably don't give a s
t anyhow. The few ruining things for the many.
Looking forward to the NF / weeklies, gotta love a burn week:
NFall - Omnigul - void, solar and arc burn
Weekly - Archon Priest - void burn
Happy to have maxed my Truth launcher only yesterday now Plus warlock is now a 32 and can have a crack at them too
