Ya I was running through those lanes BECAUSE there were snipers in all the lanes. Every vex map in D1 had sniper choke points which ground gameplay to a halt. Which is why I hate every D1 map in rotation cause guaranteed someone is gonna try to do it again. Shot guns are currently getting more kills simply because of two things, utility and reliability. I personally like to be pushing positions/holding positions and in the action an a shot gun allows me to quickly neutralize 1 maybe 2 targets that I am either pushing or are pushing me. It's simply a tool to compliment my primary when things are getting a little too up close and personal. it HOWEVER is not my primary like you snipers want yours to be. Or how it inadvertently would end up with all these buffs just like back in D1. If your getting killed by shotguns over and over again you are doing 2 things wrong. Number 1 you are not using your radar. Number 2 you are in a close quarters position that you aren't prepared to handle. If you've got a bit of distant just laugh as you vaporize them cause they are charging with no means of fighting back.
