I am giving my 2 Cents here, could be any of the other threads which have the sam Topic too.
As far as I see the bigest Problem is not the shorter time, but that many need to learn how to Play properly or think before talking. Just quoting some Posts is saw:
They did before too, just conrtol them and save them for the next stage.
Sorry, a 90% damage cut just because you only have half of the time to Play? I call bullshit here.
Why do you have to spend Gold to compete? Are the others playing by another System? Everyone is cut short on damage.
You can not use it twice, but you can double use his silver and add his bronze in second stage. You can easily get 10+ Million damage with him. Mine is often not cut by an empty magazine, but by death of bounty.
The changes are not perfect and they messed soem things up, but if the same time that is used to complain would be used to adappt, decent results would be possible.
