The latest Bungie update includes major changes to special ammo and heavy ammo.
I am curious about what others think about the changes but I know the Bungie forum well enough to ask for mature discussion rather than the usual.
I play a lot of PvP coming from a Halo background and Crucible has so much potential.
The shotgun issue is real and does get on my nerves when I get 1-shotted from what seems like 20 feet away but is this the way to address it or do you have other ideas?
Personally I just think this means we will see more Universal Remotes and Invectives in Crucible after the change.
Snipers weren't a problem but they get affected and Fusion Rifles were already nerfed.
Thoughts?
Edit 1: Just wanted to say that I am glad to see sensible responses. Some of us are probably surprised, even if we disagree with one or two, the responses have been overwhelmingly mature.
Edit 2: Very surprised at the quality of responses but even moreso the number of replies!
Edit 3: Thoughts on the changes that have resulted from much less special ammo?
I like the changes so far. The pace has shifted, I'm seeing a wider variety of primaries being used (even got killed by a Suros Regime, first time in months).
However, it is much easier to time exactly when to rush the enemy heavy ammo with a nova bomb to deny them (even though it may be sacrificial). I've been able to routinely get Space Magic and Breaker medals by rushing it and then my team goes on a power play and racks up a quick 2000 points.
This isn't a bad thing but forces far more strategy to be used instead of just camping ammo and essentially pausing the game.
Edit 4: As a sniper I'm getting more headshots because I'm more measured with my ammo now and people seem to expect snipers less so expose themselves more.
For the first time in crucible I've also paid attention to wearing gear that allows me to carry more special ammo. Before it was all about my intellect, discipline and strength stats.
