there's no time to fire your shots off at all. there's no armor buff, by the time you get to your third shot, you're dead. even if you have four people in front of you, you've got to run around a corner and, by the time you get back, they have to be: a.) oblivious to the fact that a golden gun was popped b.)completely distracted c.)haven't been killed by other teammates d.) haven't ran off i've [i]never[/i] seen anyone wearing symbiote in year 2. they nerfed it so it wasn't the only thing we used, now it's one of the least used exotics. your opinion is invalid anyway, you don't even have a hunter, so you don't know what the hell you're talking about.
