The losing special upon death thing really pisses me off. I want to improve my sniping, but whenever I get special I get killed and lose it. It's to the point where the only time I get to use special in a match is if I have a sidearm. My only option for weapon variety has become to use a sidearm. I love to snipe but the only time I get a chance to is in mayhem clash. The fact that I rarely, if ever, get to use an entire weapon type makes me want to stop playing this game altogether because I mostly only play crucible. Personally, special ammo before seemed to work well. I didn't always have it, but I could pick some up when available and be set for a while. This is no more. Edit: To all of you telling me to "use your primary" thank you for the help, but no. I do use my primary. I always have in balance with my special. The issue now is that I can ONLY use my primary. I find it frustrating that whenever I grab special it's often so contested that I get double teamed at a box. I was fine with that in the last version of the game. I'd run in, grab it, and then respawn and have time to position myself and play to my advantage. I've found kellygreen2, Dr Livingston 9, coumbie, and zarrika all have very good points in the replies. Found a good point referencing year 1. Special ammo was in constant supply, with players often having full capacity at almost all times. This was slightly in excess​, but we didn't see many issues with abuse due to faster killtimes with primaries. There were issues with weapons being overpowered, but than can be balanced with a DPS change to make them more equal. Specials were used but not often abused. You may reference shotgun rushers in this. They will always be an issue as long as there is special and shotguns in the game. It's an easy, forgiving, and rewarding style of play for less skilled players.
