So, some things i need to correct that i've said before.
-Gunslinger is kinda OP. Or rather, it's ridiculously good in the hands of a competent player. i had no idea the tripmine could be used as a sticky grenade. GAME CHANGER. I'm also glad the throwing knife isn't a OHK, because if everyone used it the way I do, I'd be dying across the map. For some reason, my Super also comes back very often now even though my intellect is fairly low. Was very visible in the clip i posted where I used Golden Gun twice within a minute.
-Hand Cannons > ARs. Before I said that people use ARs because they have the fastest kill time. Well... that's kinda true, but it's more like they cover all the bases. Currently, they're stepping a bit too much outside of that effectiveness, but even then they're just a secure (albeit reliable) primary. Once you find a hand cannon that does its job and better, again, the name of the game changes. Unlike ARs, a hand cannon doesn't need me to expose myself to the other player to sustain fire. This lets me use cover more often and strafe more effectively. Or maybe I just have a really badass hand cannon.
-This is perhaps the most bizarre revelation here... Bastion is growing on me. The map's numerous issues still exist and I'll probably quit if I go up against a full team on it without one of my own. Nevertheless, it's a great map for hand cannon action and, like Shores of Time, one that I can play competently on my own. I do like how it looks and it would have been a favorite with a tighter focus, more terrain elevation, and better spawns.
