that's exactly why, because people who were decent could rack up tons of kills...i know I did lol, that's all I ever ran with in PvP ...yet another garbage move to try and make one of the most screwed up fps PvP games on the market more "Competitive" to the detriment of PVE, which was the entire purpose of this game originally and why the cast vast majority of people bought this stupid game lol..... and the most fcuked up part of it is that the best way to make the PvP "Competitive" is to be rid of their industry worst (imo) Network and Matchmaking settings. Give players a ranked and unranked playlist and dedicated servers and then you will start to be a competitive game. right now everything they do to try and make it a more serious PvP experience is jyst a big joke, and they're doing it always at the expense of PvE, which is the core of the game. idk, it's very frustrating, I love the game more or less, I have the playtime to prove that, but the decisions they made for the sequel were extremely disappointing to me. I was hoping for a really fun sequel and instead I got a tedious unfun slog.....i ran 3 characters and always enjoyed running through everything 3x because the game for all its faults was crazy fun and satisfying to play in pve, PvP was always a disaster, it had it's good days and it's bad days, mostly bad imo, but the PvE was just tons of fun....i didn't have fun with the Beta, it was boring and frustrating as hell with the awful new weapon system [spoiler]seriously, whoever said I wish I had 2 primaries and a secondary [b][i]OR[/i][/b] a heavy with limited ammo? it's a bag of hot garbage[/spoiler] and glacial ability cooldowns and move speed. I couldn't even make it through a 3rd time, I barely made it through the second time. it just made me sad, hopefully they sort this shit out before or shortly after release but I have no expectations.
