Oh I read it, most of it anyway. You could have made it less a wall of text though. And I disagreed with everything that wasn't, as you say, subjective. The hand cannon as a primary is awesome. That idea is different and with the buffs to the gun will hopefully work even better than it did in the beta. But it wasn't useless in the beta. The gun classifications are fine. shotguns, fusions, and snipers as special because they serve a special purpose. Heavy weapons are heavy because they deal heavy damage and are heavy guns (literally). If Bungie wanted bonuses in the game, they would have been put there. They probably thought of that. They probably avoided it on purpose. Who is to say it would have made it better? who is to say it would have made it worse? They said from the beginning that race was for aesthetics not gameplay purposes. The only thing that changes gameplay is the classes, which is fine. This isn't fallout, this isn't skyrim, this isn't bethesda. Bungie is making their own version of the game the way they want to make it. You really don't think they didn't think of the stuff you said? I would bet a ton of money they did and decided against it because it wasn't in their vision for this game.
