And that's exactly why I'm so sick of all the changes. I may not be a big pulse rifle fan, but I have friends who are. For your sake and theirs, I really want Bungie to stop with the constant "balancing" of weapons. If they had a baseline to follow, they could simply make minor tweaks rather than changing whole weapon archetypes. Just to give an example of a very basic framework to use: Pulse rifles get burst-fire, but do less damage per bullet. Scout rifles have higher impact, but fire slower. Auto rifles are, of course, full auto, but stability isn't as great. If Bungie would just stick to a consistent formula, they could build weapons around it. Then the Exotics would truly feel Exotic, and people could use what benefits their play style rather than being forced to find a whole new loadout every three to four months.
