The shotgun is a powerweapon. It wasn't really worth picking up before.
The tuning and updates did tons of good for the game.
The boltshot nerf. Precision weapons were tuned to remove the DMR's dominance. The "X" that appears for teammates upon death was restored. Maps and spawns improve with every update. Melee bleedthrough. Movement speed was increased. Match accuracy was improved slightly.
When I was in High School, one of the Deans was like a red Hulk.
His reaction to a minor infraction: his entire face would appear badly sunburned; he would scream at the top of his lungs.
I was never intimidated. Overreaction is too funny.
