Before this patch when you went into a game you had to come in with the mindset dont get rushed and cornered by a shotgun. Post patch its now dont get rushed and cornered by a sidearm. It seems the point of the special changed were to slow the use of people rushing with special weapons.... Well that didn't work The special ammo changes for me personally have reduced my options in game. I normal use my weapons like tools upclose bang stick at a distance primary. Most players engage at mid range the hand cannon is the dominating weapon in this range and has been for a long time. In smaller maps there is very little time to pick up special with players moving quickly. My special weapon slot could be empty for all i care now. Mostly i just run around with my hand cannon, no other primary is as usefull.
