You do realize that this is a [i]sequel[/i] not a new IP??

Yep, I've run this on and off with a couple of clan mates with a Fireteam medallion on, and done heroic strike after heeroic strike to try and get these guns to see whether or not they were going to be worthwhile or not. I've got the Pulse Rifle, the Scout Rifle and the SMG. The SMG is the better performing out of those three with the other two performing really poorly. There are way better weapons that you have to work far less for out there. They do look cool, but Bungie's issue isn't about whether or not they can make something look cool, it's about whether they can make something worthwhile keeping, once you've looked past the 'pretty' value. That could be said about the whole game but that's another story. All of the above are now sitting in my vault, and will likely stay there for the foreseeable future.

I didn't. Just let it go and move on. It's literally just an excuse to grind boring content. They brought the grind back without making the game fun to play again.
