You don't want gunplay to be the main thing?
Oh boy. There we go. The reason i don't care nearly as much about the game as i used to.
Cringe kids who can only mow down enemies with cheese ability spam are the loudmouths who turned this game from an awesome halo like SHOOTER into this cringe "space magic" ability spam easy mode free to play garbage game.
We already have enough ability spam MMOS and looter shooters out there. One way to ruin the last actual weapon based one by turning it into another ability spam fiesta trash game. Gunplay was what carried this game. You seem to forget that.
It's not the gunplay aspect or ability spam that made this game the way it advertised.
It was the aspect of both in tandem, a balance between both gunplay and abilities being used.
Bare in mind the community has been exploiting every mechanic this game has to offer and once again people will cry about it.
We are the ones who chose this brain dead playstyle so it's up to us to change it.
Remember this generation is about having no effort for the biggest reward and to cheese everything possible.
We lost our right to complain when we came up with Meta Slaving.
