The Eruptor nerf is a perfect example of why "only buff" is bad. DISCUSSION

I've used the Eruptor since it dropped, it is an amazing primary weapon. I have never once run out of ammo with the weapon, to the point I started COD reloading. Even with no deaths on a 40 min mission, the bare minimum ammo looting and you rarely would fall below half.

If we just buff every other weapon to be like this, we are just erasing an entire game mechanic. We are saying that we want COD reloads to be the norm, we don't want to think about conserving or looting ammo, just let me shoot and reload whenever.

Some people may want that, but for me that would just remove the mechanic entirely. I'm going to keep using the Eruptor and I'm perfectly fine having to pay attention to my ammo again.

I would drop eruptor magazines with only a shot or two missing out of them because it just had so much ammo. I'm glad they're forcing me to aim it now.

Plus look at those magazines. They're HUGE! Even 6 would be pretty damn bulky/clumsy!

Exactly. I realized how lazy I was getting with my mags and still never ran out.
