Bullet Sponges

I want to hear what everyone thinks about this:

I feel that every player is too much of a bullet sponge. The time to kill is very high, which is only exaggerated by the fact that players usually will have time to replenish shields and health in engagements. I feel it makes the engagements lose some of the thrill once you realize that both you and your enemy will take the entire clip of a weapon before one of you dies.

Especially considering that no one is going to be hitting 100% of their shots every time, I feel that a small reduction in both Shields and health or a buff to gun damage would be good to help liven up each engagement and help stop fights from being just a few people firing at each other and running around for a minute and a half.

Of course, this is all my opinion on things and I would love to hear what other people think about this. 🙂
