After the long install times of the patch I strolled into the crucible, expecting a relatively shotty free game, and indeed, my vision became reality, but as I go to pullout my beloved LDR I noticed that my usual sniping playstyle was doomed because of the scarcity of special. Each crate gives only 4 shots, and usually are found once a life (for me anyway) and there are usually only four crates on the map that take about 1.5 mins to spawn (again, for me anyway) making all special weapon gunfights a rare instance. Some of you may rejoice. Yes! No pesky blink-shotgunners! No preadeth's revenge's body shotting me to death! A more primary based Pvp environment. But wait a minute, what is going to dominate crucible now? More than they ever have before? Cough *thorn* cough *last word* cough *pulse rifles* cough *no land beyond* jk but the others are valid. I know bungie are trying hard to fix the crucible, and I know there will always be whiners, and I regret to say it but today I am one of said whiners. I think that overall bungie are definitely going in the right direction, but snipers needn't have got nerfed and the potency of the exotic hand cannons, pulse rifles ( and nlb :P) need's to be addressed.
Happy hunting guardians

There are still snipers and shotties around but there are other weapons now which is great
