I feel very uneasy about Destiny 2... lets have a conversation.

My main problem (and sorry to beat a dead horse) is the catering to PvP with the new power weapon switch. When i played the demo at their panel everything else was nice however the power weapon setup really pissed me off because it feels really geared toward PvP. Snipers, shotguns, fusion rifles (and why the hell did they scrap Heavy machine guns?) are all power weapons now for what I ask? In PvE on destiny 1 there really was no problem unless PvP had a problem which ment carpet bomb nerfs across all game modes for one gun type as a whole rather than just that weapon on PvP only. I really dislike this new power weapon setup it's not like I don't like change but now it feels like the game is more guided to PvP players and not really PvE players I loved the old set up... This new one just isn't for me. I want to hear all of your thoughts and really this and the 4v4 is my only problem with the game.

    I feel like the #1 mistake you can make when trying to wrap your head around these changes is to envision how they would work in a D1 encounter. D2's sandbox, encounters, mechanics, ammo economy, DPS values, etc, etc have all been tuned and EXTENSIVELY play-tested around these changes. Once you've established [i]that[/i] as a baseline. These things start to make way more sense. Like LMGs for example. In D2, we have auto rifles [i]and[/i] SMGs available to us in kinetic/energy (primary/elemental) weapon slots. The LMG archetype would simply overlap too much to make sense.
