I think many of you can agree HoW Meta was the best Meta for PvP.
I know the selection of viable weapons was more limited than today, but the overall class of weapons were balanced.
Primaries
Shotguns
Snipers
Were all balanced during HoW.
If you died by shotgun with a primary out than you weren't good enough to melt him with TLW/Thorn/Hopscotch before he got in range
If you died by a snipe with a primary out you deserved it - you weren't good enough to 1-3 shot him before he got the shot off
Same goes If you died by a primary with a snipe out
If you died by a sniper with a shotgun out on CQC combat - you for sure deserved it
I know all we had was;
Primary thorn/TLW/Messenger/Hopscotch
Secondary sniper - LDR, Longbow, Spear, HB
Secondary shotgun - Felwinters, matador, party crashed
But man was PvP fair and balanced; regardless of classes.
If we could keep how subclasses are today and go back to the damage/range/ADS/Zoom out out of the HoW Meta I think that would be perfect.

Haha that meta was far from balanced. We're closer now to balance than that, all that needs to be buffed are auto rifles and possibly a small handcannon buff seeing as the only way to be competitive is with rifled barrel or rangefinder and another range perk.
