The only game mode that this seriously affects is trials. In the other game modes you have lots of opportunity to get special during the game. It IS completely down to the special situation (which I dont mind in general) sidearms are not op at all. Sidearm users are just annoying. They were annoying before the patch and even more so now, but if you cant deal with them then thats down to you.

If special is so readily available why I do I only see sidearms in 3v3 and rumble?
-
Maybe because they don't lose special on death?
-
I havent played much rumble recently, ive played plenty of skirmish though and getting special is not a problem.
-
But nobody is using it. Simple math tells you if you die 10 times in a skirmish match you will run on average 5 min without any special. This is why all are using Sidearms. To not have this useless slot in their loadout half of the time.
-
I dont think youre right about the special. You have to remember that the special spawns are often timed differently. You give yourself more advantage if you get an idea of these different times.
-
If you play good opponents special is always taken away from the other team the moment it spawns. This means spawntimes are usually in sync. This is the reason I did not talk about 6s, in 6s your argument is true.
-
If you are playing a sweaty well drilled team then yes it will be a problem. They will keep spawn killing you too so I can see how that would force you to use a sidearm. Im only average so I dont come up against many sweaty teams. I do think sidearm use will drop off a bit for most of the player base.
