Seriously. I have gotten more primary kills than ever before and I'm finding myself in far more situations where a primary is the better choice. I just got a We Ran Out of Medals with only Ace of Spades. No shotgun or heavy kills at all.
Say what you want about stasis, but it paired with the primary changes have managed to put an emphasis on primaries without nerfing specials or the ammo economy.
This is an incredible change and I'm loving this sandbox far more than any previous one.

People HAVE to respect these abilities and rushing has definitely taken a hit due to them. Sniping AA also took out most of the trash sniper users. I do enjoy this meta. Lots of primary play and plenty of guns still are viable. 600 RPMs didn’t get destroyed. High impact Pulses can 2 burst. 120s are ridiculously strong. 140s are crisp and got decent range. 180s are also decent. 150 scouts on the larger maps are a problem. Sub machine guns are useless. Sidearms still melt. High impact fusions still melt from decent range. Etc etc etc
