IF any PS4bros want to do the Shaxx supremecy bounty with me, I'll be running it to get the reward as well as do it for the IB book.
I've even decided that if I need to, that I will sell my soul and get a Universal Remote from the kiosk to do the primary weapons part of the bounty.

You can do the Supremacy shaxx bounty in Inferno Supremacy, the weekly game mode. It's worth trying out - games are shorter, and with much less special ammo, primaries are much more viable.

Inferno is no radar, correct? Correct. I did one run of the Shaxx bounty and was able to finish all requirements in the minimum 7 games. Did 1 game of Inferno, which just felt too chaotic (maybe I'm too dependent on radar?), and then 6 normal Supremacy. I don't have much use for the marks at this point, so Inferno just didn't seem worth it. |

I can't stand inferno. When radar is so integral to knowing where an enemy is and predicting enemy movement, playing without it feels stupid. Plus it gives shotgun warriors even more of an advantage than usual, since you're probably already screwed by the time you see them. If you pick them up on radar, you at least have a chance to plan an escape or counter.

The only reason why I'd do Inferno is because, I've found that I'm becoming too dependent on third eye on my weapons. I noticed a huge difference in performance in IB when I ran and when I didn't run 3rd eye on my primary. By forcing me to not have radar, it'd be like detoxing a bit more.
As well, once I do the captures part, I can pretend it's MW3 again and corner camp like a motherf%%ker!

If you pick them up on radar, you at least have a chance to plan an escape or counter. Inferno would be okay in general if Destiny had a wider Field of View and audible enemy footsteps. The latter won't happen because of crybabies who will cite footsteps as a 'crutch' even though Rainbow Six: Siege and Counter Strike have audible enemy footstep sounds and they are far more difficult to play than Destiny. Then you have drawbacks to other specials in general that means people will probably be directed to shotgun usage, even if they'd rather use other weapons. I've reduced the amount of sniping I do in the Crucible lately because I'm more productive to my team by using a shotgun. |

In Inferno, not only is there no radar, but there is no heavy ammo drop, and you begin the game without special ammo. Also, in Supremacy, the games go to 100, rather than 150.
The lack of radar doesn't favor shotgunners, because by the time someone is normally on your radar, there is a very good chance they could run through your primary and shotgun you anyway. Without the radar, you'll also find that many people who would have swapped from their primary to a shotgun in core are unprepared in Inferno.
I notice shotguns being far less of an issue in Inferno because of the lack of ammo at the beginning of the match. If you miss the first drop, you're essentially playing most of the game without special. In my experience, I have also found people are generally running around, but not as frequently doing so in a pack as they do in regular Supremacy. The lack of radar, which usually is the only method of detecting enemies, is easily overcome - I found myself looking around to see where my teammates were, using that to determine where enemies were spawning, and heading there. Once you get down how to anticipate spawns, you can set up to engage enemies at an optimal distance for your primary.
The games go quickly, much faster than regular Supremacy. I'd estimate that you may see a decrease in the number of primary weapon kills per game, but roughly the same rate or greater of primary kills per minute. So if it takes you 10 games to complete the bounty instead of 7, it will take roughly the same amount of time, and you'll get more drops.
I found it also took a little longer to find a match in Inferno Supremacy than other gamemodes; the flipside of that being it appears to force matchmaking to be far less based upon skill to fill the lobby.
Overall, I'd say that Inferno Supremacy is far more fun than the regular Crucible gamemodes. Many of the normal Crucible games I play drag on far too long, where the outcome is obvious halfway through. Quicker games means more rewards. Less shotgunners and decreased SBMM make the game less frustrating and allow for you to use different weapons. It is a breath of fresh air. It's nice to be able to use a sidearm, or to be able to use a sub-optimal primary without getting wrecked.

Less shotgunners? Sign me the f$$k up!!!
One of few times I have sniped a Hammerbro out of their super was on Inferno. I hid in a corner as they ran past me and sniped them three times... good times, good times

I got the shock hazard one for the Zhalo... but I love the Not a Toy one for it, so it's just sitting there. I also got a IB one... but I don't have any IB gear to put it into, so it too is just sitting there |
