Well, I can tell you one thing: changing the special ammo spawn did very little to change player behavior vis-à-vis shotties. Even on maps with some open space, people just congregate near closed-in corners of each map, and cluster around special ammo crates (not even that often since there is still more than enough special ammo to go around). In the end, running shotguns is just too useful the way the game is set up right now and the kind of maps available for Crucible. Not that I am complaining, just that if that was the sole purpose of that change, I haven't noticed any huge change in how the game is played. I just ran into a team that had three or four guys all with snipers aimed into the cave in the middle in the Shores of Time, so not sure it did anything to change snipers either. In the end, if they want less blamfests, they are going to have to fix OP shotties, not limit special ammo.

    I have seen a change. The question is what mode are you playing. Control you need a good shotty. But clash and skermish very few are running with just shottys.

  • I usually play Clash, and even on Twilight Gap, one match it was almost all shotguns on both yes, for the entire match. It was a total blamfest, which was almost funny because that was all you could hear the entire time. I think we had slightly fewer people with shotguns so we lost, but it showed me that the special ammo change didn't do much to discourage running shotguns.
