I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of this game now on console. Though man, I am having real trouble juggling building in those shotgun fights.
What is the point of SMGs in this game? Every time I use them, I lose to a white tac shotgun. Destroying bases when you don't want to use up rifle ammo? I'd rather have a pistol, since at least I can hit things out to medium range with a pistol.
I dont pick up the normal SMG unless it's literally the only thing I can find. Why that and C4 are even in the game still is beyond me.
If theyre trying to make this game newb friendly (they are) I would think they'd cut down on some of the garbage just to make it less confusing if nothing else.
If I were them I'd vault SMG, C4, and normal grenades and increase the rate of other stuff. I also dont know wtf the difference between the mini gun and that new LMG or whatever its called is. Just keep whichever ones better and vault the other. Or do it like so: Mini Gun is accurate and will obliterate people but is very weak to buildings, and LMG is wildly inaccurate but shreds through buildings. Or vice versa.
While I'm bitching I dont know why there's 2 shotguns (vault one of those as well) or gray/white revolvers, and again increase rates of other stuff to make up for it.
I'd like an increase in the tactical SMG to compete with shot guns really. Those things shred.
All of it annoys me too because I feel like if I open a chest I should automatically get something green or higher. I should never get a gray SMG or any other complete crap weapon.
