I was always a hc player. And in hc we all know stopping power (hereby referred as SP) was useless, unless you were desperate. But I got tired of the bs gameplay that hc had to offer. Anyway correct me if im wrong, but SP gave the core gametype a much needed unbalance. I will explain. Say you had a scar-h. Running around with stopping power you mowed through the competition. However you always showed up when those pesky uav's took flight. Now you could fix this by running cold blooded instead. But if you do so you wont be able to cut em' down like you were before. This goes with most of the 2nd perks. You sacrificed damage output to gain an advantage over those who were doing the damage. If you wanted to rack up the kills you ran SP but were at a disadvantage when the harrier showed up or uav's. Now people are free to run whatever they want to and still be able to drop their opponents. Core hasn't been the same without SP and im looking for a decent answer to why they would remove it. I can understand balance and all but it seems the weapons would be more balanced if they all didnt kill so easily, without SP of course.
