Time for my $0.02
Now I've made a lot of posts on the forms before but didn't put much effort into it.
That changes here.
So Bungie, you decided to remove our special ammo after each round in elimination and trials and after death. Ok cool. (Sarcasm). Did you forget you put sidearms in the game, a weapon that always SPAWNS with ammo! A weapon that has lots of range for what it is and has a faster ttk then The Last Word?
Now regarding Legendary snipers, shotguns, and invective.
I'll start easy with Invective. An exotic shotgun that has full auto and regenerates ammo. Wait a second, it takes 30 seconds to generate one magazine? Why don't I just use a matador 64 and pick up ammo. I'm 99% sure I remember you guys at Bungie saying you would make exotics great again. Lets look at statistics and facts. 30 second recharge on Invective. 30 seconds on special ammo box in Trials of Osiris. This [u]exotic[/u] is supposed to be better than a legendary, but I might as well pick up matador 64 ammo! So much for being exotic.
Now legendary special weapons. I die and loose special, have to wait 30 seconds for ammo, get beat because the enemy team pushes aggressively and I cant get my ammo. Ok so I'm just bad, I should just use Ice Breaker or No Land Beyond (Which was said to be the WORST weapon in the game in year 1!), but whats the use of legendary specials? Weapons that your team at Bungie put hours of work into making, now made useless. Take a look at destiny tracker and see the current meta. No legendaries except wormwood. You have made all these wonderful and fun to use weapons [u][i][b]USELESS[/b][/i][/u].
I hope you all enjoyed my little rant. Hopefully Cozmo will see this and take some time to read it and understand it.
If there is anything that is legitimately incorrect please PM me so I may edit it.

With the recent ammo changes many players feel that their standard special weapons are now "useless". I'll put my two cents down, since this is a public forum, and say that I don't think sidearms are an issue. The ammo stacking is an issue and they are addressing that. Neat-o. I also don't think sidearms can make players perform better. They need a competent player to be a competent weapon. If someone is using a sidearm effectively enough in a match to the point that it will aggravate me, then good on them. Moving on. [quote]An exotic shotgun that has full auto and regenerates ammo.[/quote] Sounds awesome! Where can I get one? [quote]Why don't I just use a matador 64 and pick up ammo.[/quote] That's your choice then. If you prioritize raw damage over having a fairly reliable ammo pool, then that is your choice. Ammo is every 60 seconds in standard Crucible, 30 on the first round in Elimination and going up for 15 every round. Invective also can pick up ammo boxes. Best of both worlds. [quote]This exotic is supposed to be better than a legendary.[/quote] This is not entirely true even though I see this a lot. Exotic weapons are not supposed to be better than legendary weapons. They are meant to compliment specific play-styles/create unique play-styles, and provide unique and interesting character to various archetypes of weapons so as to create a colourful variety that will stand-out from the sea of generic rares and legendarys. They are meant to look, feel and sound powerful but not actually break the balance of the game. Your comment on the change to special ammo affecting legendary special weapons is valid though and I agree to an extent. Your statement however is tailored to only apply to a fraction of the games content and loses validity when applied to the other activities that the game has. This includes standard and Iron Banner Crucible as well. Your statement only applies to Elimination game-modes. Valid, but limited.
