Hello, everyone.
I have noticed a few peculiarities in the new competitive multiplayer trailer that I would like to discuss, more particularly the Time-To-Kill and the pace of the game.
In the new trailer the game looks much more fast-paced and fun than in the beta. More Supers, weapons doing more damage, possibly one-shot kill shoulder charges and one-shot sniper kills. For me, if this were in the game I would be pleased as I am a fan of fast-paced gameplay. Otherwise, I feel that we are being lied to and that definitely rubs me the wrong way. I know Bungie and Activision are not beyond lying to us, but still, this seems like false advertising to me. Anyways, let me know your thoughts.
EDIT: If Bungie is taking our feedback and changing the gameplay to be more fast-paced that is a good thing IMO, but I don't think this is the case here.
EDIT 2: Here's an idea, if this fast-paced gameplay isn't in the base crucible gamemodes, perhaps Bungie can provide a gamemode that has it.

There is a video covering the subject by I believe it is Briar Rabbit. It was clearly a jacked up set of settings to make hype. There was a sniper BODY shot that gave over 300 damage. Then there was a single hit from hand cannon leaving a player with some shield only to have him vaporized by a single melee. I wish bungie would come out and admit this was false advertising of the crucible experience but remember guys this is Bungie so I am not going to hold my breath. Who knows maybe there are one shot body shot snipers in D2 we will all feel right at home...
