Clip size decreased, adding more recoil, decreasing bullet damage / headshot damage etc. You could straight up lazer an entire team with one clip with R99, or r301 - or wingman.
You also had a lot more weapons being viable, the devotion with turbo charger could kill 4-5 people with one purple mag (vs purple armor).
With the little recoil + clip sizes you usualy downed two people with one clip, that changed to now almost downing someone but having to swap weapons to finish that one guy (if they have good movement).
Also, Season 2 was before sniper rifles go their own ammo type. I never liked this change at all. It restricts options which has essentially shelved sniper rifles for me. Before this change, you could swap between AR and sniper without messing with your ammo inventory:
- G7 for light ammo
- Longbow for heavy ammo
- Triple Take for energy ammo
It's a very underrated thing people don't often talk about, but the ability to on the fly swap to a DMR without worrying about changing ammo types was HUGE. The flexibility that allowed in combat and different situations can't be understated. It also helped tremendously with the subject of weapon power and having viable options on hand.
