I mean, is this shit even supposed to be relatively balanced? I've been playing The Crucible even though it's INCREDIBLY unbalanced, and I've been playing some of the gametypes where you control specific points. What I've encountered in almost every single one of these games is a Titan character that gets to the control point, and puts up a shield, only to stand there with a Shotgun, which is overpowered in it's own right (I'll get into that later), and pretty much have no worries whatsoever, because his/her opponents don't stand a chance. All I can do is literally sit there and watch them rack up points. This is especially terrible in the gametype where you control the probe things.
The Shotguns in this game are simply OP. It seems like EVERYONE has one, and they just sprint, slide, and basically a hit anywhere kills. [b]WHY ARE THESE IN THE GAME IF FUSION RIFLES EXIST?![/b] Aren't they basically just Shotguns you have to charge? Let me get this straight; there's a Shotgun (Fusion) that you have to charge before firing that doesn't always give you a one-hit kill, and there's a Shotgun that you [i]don't[/i] have to charge, which pretty much always kills in one hit... Shotguns should literally be removed completely, and Fusion Rifles should be the replacement.
These are just a few things I've been thinking about since the release, and it's really the first time I've voiced any of it. I mean, there's so much more wrong with The Crucible, it's overly frustrating to even play it. Joining games where you're going to lose no matter what and have a 2 v 3 situation, maps being too big and catering to campers with Snipers, Bladedancer Hunter being impossible to kill in many situations, the list goes on.

Yesterday I ran into a titans shield and killed them with my shotgun and my fist. Just play smart.
