I see a lot of people bitching and moaning in here that despite how this game plays extremely well for the vast majority of people, it "doesn't fit exactly with MY idea of how it should be!" I'm a proponent criticism, but y'all are taking it too far. If you don't like the melee strength on elites, play on an easier difficulty. If you don't like the pistol, don't use it. You have choices here. Stop bitching, you sound like you think Bungie only lives to serve your particular needs.
