It depends. If Bungie follows their current trajectory the new weapons will be pretty useless.
Pretty much every weapon in HoW is subpar compared to prior weapons.The only exception I have found so far is Lord of Wolves. It actually does what it is supposed to and does it quite well.
Every new HMG is crap when compared to pre-HoW Jolders Hammer and the Crucible vendor Against All Odds from TDB.
None of the new sniper rifles are even close to pre-HoW snipers.
Everything from VoG still blows away any of the new gear.
I can understand changing, and moving on to something else. but they should be at least as effective as the wepons we would be giving up.

Against all odds is an overrated turd, especially when compared to zombie apocalypse, the swarm, Btrd, corrective measure, d. Gravity etc.

It is a matter of opinion. I spent quite a bit of time comparing the new HMGs with my older ones, and BTRD at first looked good but AAO for me outshines it. I wish I had my older Swarm but it got deleted before we found out we could carry things forward. Deviant Gravity is ok, but I myself like AAO better.
-
Definitely agree about it being a personal choice and I know mine, regarding AAO, is in the minority. I have two of them and I always went back to my vendor swarm. You should spend a little more time with the BTRD, its stats are almost exactly the same as swarm with a similar feel.
-
I have. I try to embrace the new gear. I was really using the BTRD, but then one night didn't feel like pulling it out. Had AAO available and used it. Totally went on a tear with it. I had forgotten how much of a kill streak I could get going once I really started rolling with it.I like it over my Jolders and BTRD.

I'm with you, AAO is insane. I got a drop with Counterbalance, Field Scout, and Crowd Control. Please, keep running through that door, you're all going to die.

Lord Of Wolves is an exotic though o.o
