Trials felt like Team Snipers to me this time... (Destiny)

I feel like whenever I play Trials, there's one person sniping on my team, and one or two sniping on theirs. The team with more than one sniper is usually at a disadvantage. This past weekend's run had a lot of Scout/Pulse Rifle action, and a ton of CQB stuff going on. Really competitive games, a ton of actual skill involved (out-strafing opponents, landing more headshots, etc). It was pretty nifty because in most of my games, the person who shot first/hit their opponent first didn't necessarily end up the winner at distance. Maybe you ran into an unlucky set of games?

It could have been an unlucky streak. We only played two cards with about 15 games total. I think 12 of the 15 had 2 or 3 snipers on each team. And these were guys who were landing sniper headshots while being fired upon. We had two teams with 3 snipers who 5-0'd us... This Fireteam I was on has made 3 lighthouse trips (which isn't a lot, but we don't get 5-0'd often).

I'm hoping it was a Bannerfall thing, really.
