Yeah, it's a complete disappointment. (Destiny)
Personally, I'd love to see the weapons actually seem like they were testing something. Either a perk that doesn't normally land on that archetype (shotguns with explosive rounds, a full auto hand cannon, or maybe a sniper rifle with a Sureshot IS instead of a scope), or something even more extreme (a shotgun with vortex, "find more special ammo", and performance bonus, as well as full auto, for example, or a bullet hose auto rifle with minimal stability that uses skip rounds and has a massive clip... Stuff like that.
When I first heard about the concept, I thought it would all be stuff like this. And the fact that you have to kill specific enemies (usually majors) just makes it feel like a total chore.
