Agreed. How can you rank a game that goes against all skill ranking established in Halo 3. The guns determine the victor. No matter how good you are, head to head against Vex you are probably going to loose. I saw a clown get 50 kills with that gun just running around in the open. It was crazy. No skill. Just evaporating people. I love that gun, but what I miss about the Halo format was that every DMR was equal. Each auto rifle was equal. How can you make a ranking system and one person has a pistol that takes 7-10 shots and the other has Megatron's gun and it can kill you with three shots. Shotguns kill from ridiculous distances. Question should be, why is a gun created in the 1800s still being used thousands of years later, same loading mechanisms and everything... You get my point.

First of all, Scout Rifles / Sniper Rifles are what you consider skilled, yet they are passively played. Shotguns/Fusions tend to be more active. Second, Hand Cannons have better range than Shotguns which is already an advantage, so they don't need more points for that. Same for Scout/Sniper.
