Primary ammo should return, it's an FPS ffs

I have no idea who was the guy who approved the decision to completely remove primary ammo from the game, but he clearly doesn't know the basics of what makes an FPS an FPS. Primary ammo used to be a key part of the gameplay loop in D1, you actually did use to get very low on it and in some instances I remember popping a Primary Synthesis rather than a Heavy one, that was great game design in my opinion. Now, that never really did happen in D2, as ammo was amd still is very, very plentiful (which is another problem in and of itself) but just making Primary ammo infinite is very lazy, lame and outright outrageous to do in a First Person Shooter. There are no stakes while using Primaries no more, seeing the infinite symbol is just weird y'all feel me? And using double primary just feels like using some sort of play testing version, weird to explain but it doesn't feel "gamey" I want primary ammo to return, and for it to be more consequential in moment-to-moment gameplay, and having to actually think on looking for white ammo blocks, like in Destiny 1

  • That and reducing ammo overall might be a good way to add difficulty to the game in different ways. I'm not sure because I haven't played almost at all but last time I did it seemed like the enemies were tankier but heavy ammo was raining from the sky so with stuff like that and with infinite primary ammo a lot of things risk making it so if you wait long enough youll win.
