The meter solved a lot of problems with the game (this is coming from a person whose PVP kills are 99.9% from primary weapons) [b]Pros of meter: [/b] * You earn Special on your own performance and can't steal other people's Special - If you get a kill, you get the ammo * Forces a Primary-centric meta, which I think feels better, especially in 3v3 modes * Keep ammo on Revives [b]Cons of meter: [/b] * Forces players to have a "balanced" loadout, so most players use shotguns and a medium-range primary * More passive playstyle since Special ammo resulted in more aping * Harder to counter Rifts and Barricades without Special (abilities are a little unbalanced) * Can't change loadouts partway through game * Results in more one-sided games as Special is now a steamroll effect The benefit of crates is that it forces players to move around and play mini-objectives, similar to heavy. I don't know if one or multiple players get ammo from a box, but if only one does, then it lends itself to more strategy in the form of assigned team roles. Finally, crates absolutely controls the max amount of Special ammo in the game at any given time. I think both methods are better than dropping ammo on death, but I'm not sure which method I prefer. Maybe the meter?

Crates and the bar are the dumbest thing ever to come for Destiny, PvP was good before they ruined the special economy again. Teamshotting isn't fun at all, being stuck with 1 weapon choice pretty much the entire game sucks. All they had to do was nerf fusions lmao.

Ammo crates lead to nothing but sidearms, icebreaker and no land. Crates by spawn every round is no different from just starting every round with special so they might as well just go back to how crucible was if theyre making that change

I'm not liking collision in comp, I despise competitive mods that favor specific characters kits.

Crates and meter was some of the stupidest changes in d2
