This. It's all ambiguous bullcrap. There would be a big difference if they made this stuff clear, but, even then, the randomness is built in at a base level. It just feels like it doesn't matter.

I liked the Reach Bloom mechanic for the DMR. It felt fine. I think Destiny mostly feels fine, too, but there is no way to beat the RNG by pacing your shots like you could with the Reach DMR. The game is just built to be inherently random.

I totally understand and buy the excuse that they want to level the playing field a bit, but I don't think this is the right way to do it. Predictability on such a fundamental level seems deeply misguided to me.
