Special and Heavy Ammo Give outs!

This is clearly overdone but guess what? Bungie still hasn't fixed it so I am in the mood to make this post. Note: This is more of a rant than anything so yell at me, call me a baby, blah blah blah, whatever. I don't really care. Anyways, special and heavy ammo give outs. Why? First, it's called special ammo. Special for a reason? This is Destiny not CoD. You can start with about 15 shots or more and still get crate after crate after crate after crate of special ammo. People sit here on the forums and complain about fusion rifles balancing, shotgun balancing, etc... The real problem is give outs. If people had LESS special ammo they would be forced to use their primary instead of making a shotgun their primary the WHOLE GOD D*MN GAME. That means a kill here and there from specials. I have absolutely NO problem with a kill here and there from them. Next, heavies. Heavy ammo is fun, it can be unique, and wonderful, and amazing, but... I don't think one Guardian needs to have the ability to kill about 8 - 10 other Guardians with that one drop. A heavy machine gun gets two LARGE belts of heavy. If you can kill a guy with 12 or less shots, why do we need about 100 bullets? Rockets start with 2 shots. This is fair but when other people drop their heavy it becomes and endless kill streak of heavies until someone uses their super... Speaking of players dropping heavy, that also is a problem. The drops give tons of new heavy ammo to keep their overpowered streak going past 10 kills. If others with heavy DO drop their heavy, at least reduce it. I recently just lost a skirmish match with my friends to a group of 3 guys only using shotguns. When people sit there with their shotguns in corners camping, it makes it near impossible to enjoy using my hand cannons. And I don't believe I am the only one. I am a huge hater of Crucible but sometimes I just want to shoot Guardians in the face. This BS makes it unfun and unfair to people trying to play a game without a one hit being the only kill. Please make a Shotgunfest game mode otherwise... On top of the specials, a guy was able to wield a Truth for about 8 kills! 8! We just kept spawning and dieing and spawning and dieing... Made it impossible to win being one hit buy a launcher with a tracking device... This is what makes Crucible unplayable and intolerable for me. It's not the guns' power such as Last Word or Suros. It's the amount of ammo given to each person at start and through the boxes. I can max out my special in less than 10 seconds which can last me for about half the game if I only wanted to use a special. If you read the whole thing than thanks and please keep any comments fair. Remember this is a rant but I am sick of wanting to rant every time I jump into a Crucible game. I love Destiny and like many people in the community but the Crucible is one thing I only do for bounties and don't really enjoy as much... Please... Help... Edit: Have you guys seen the new Dark Below maps? A couple of them look VERY close ranged which leaves a bad feeling in my stomach. If these changes don't take place... Well... You know...

  • All I got it off this is bitch moan cry bitch cry. ......guess what the game was designed this way on purpose. Adapt or quit bitching. Learn to weapon swap. People need to quit try to change the game because it doesn't suit them. It's why I stopped playing cod and never really played a lot of halo. Just never really suited me. Personally I like being able to switch between primary and secondary weapons.

    • [quote]I am a huge hater of Crucible but sometimes I just want to shoot Guardians in the face.[/quote] So be it, ideally you shoot guardians in the face [b]before[/b] they shoot you in the face, but whatever. Now, let me get this straight. You don't like doing something, but you want to do it anyway, and rather than just do this thing you don't want to do as it is, you want to change it to suit your needs, despite not actually liking it? Seems a bit greedy, doesn't it? As far as I know, they're going to be adding new modes to crucible to for less special ammo and the like, content yourself with those.

    • This is the issue. The one other thing is people will switch to invective and icebreaker. Icebreaker not so much due to ammo regen. Invective is at least an exotic so i think its fine for this weapon. But i agree if i can use special all the time it isn't special its just another primary.

    • I have no issue with heavy ammo but I agree, special ammo shouldn't be so readily available.
