Shotguns Grossly Overused. The Fault of the Map Selection?

Add More Map Diversity! Use other Weapons Too!

Leave Maps The Way They Are! SHOTGUNS DAMMIT!

Hey everyone, vVvDARK WOLFvVv Here, ok, so in light of my recent rage filled rant, (which I will never speak of or even refer to beyond this point, once again I apologize) I decided to make a slightly more..... mindful and organized post. Ok, So, Shotguns, I by no means hate the weapons, they are great weapons for delivering immediate punishment to a target whom has the misfortune of stepping into your sights. HOWEVER, I have noticed that with the exceptions of a couple of reasonably large maps, these weapons are horribly overused. Namely due to the cramped style of many of these maps that practically force you to use shotguns, if you don't wish to be at a major disadvantage. I find this kind of map style tolerable, but still not exactly something that I would rely on as far as map design goes. Because these styles of maps cause the shotguns to be over used to the Nth degree, and that's when i start to grow irritated with people that use shotguns constantly, and even more so makes me reluctant to use them, I am by no means BAD with them, in fact I find them quite easy to use in many situations, but as someone who prides himself on his ability with a sniper rifle and a hand cannon, I find myself only using shotguns when I play as my titan, whom i have geared towards being in the thick of battle 90% of the time, and even then I only really use it in PVE. So I am not saying take shotguns down a notch, but there needs to be some serious map variety, much like previous Bungie games had. Having all these maps where its use shotgun or die is not good. I want to feel like i have a real choice in what weapons I use. and I feel like map variety would help greatly. its OK to have close quarters shotgun oriented maps, but there needs to be an equal amount of maps suited for the use of the other two special weapon types as well. otherwise you suffer having one weapon always being over used as is the situation right now. I think providing map diversity will also improve weapon versatility, and greatly increase the importance of the other weapon types in the game. I don't like feeling like I am gimping myself on over half the current maps simply because i don't wish to use a shotgun. Well that is all from me, As always Any and all feedback is appreciated, and I want to know the community's opinion on the matter. SEE Y'ALL STARSIDE! TL;DR: Still don't do these, sorry, and I will keep trolling with them until people stop relying on them! lol.
