Dear [b][i]Bungie[/i][/b], So as not to replicate the last [b][i]"weapon balance"[/i][/b], why don't you let the community playtest the changes for a weekend? Or even a day? Just make a separate playlist in the Crucible titled "[b][i]2.0 weapon testing"[/i][/b] and let us go nuts. It was clearly stated that in all of your playtesting, the community actually using it will rack up more time in an hour or less. I personally don't want another 6 months or however long it's been between patches, with an unbalanced meta. Maybe you're nerfing handcannons just right, or maybe they'll be the new AR's. Maybe [b][i]Hardlight[/i][/b] will be a good time, maybe it will be the new [b][i]Thorn. [/i][/b] I don't see any negative outcome from letting the community, the people that will actively be using the weapons balance for a lengthy time, give you some hands on feedback.
