Weapon slot improvements (Destiny)

I think the D1 Special concept isn't workable in a PVP environment along with more normal TTK guns. That seems born out with Titanfall, COD and BF both conspicuously avoiding adopting that setup even while they stole other ideas.

I don't play much BF or COD these days, but Titanfall has 1-hit kill weapons in the PRIMARY weapon slot. The difference is the 1-hit kill weapons are actually balanced properly (deadly in very specific ranges, totally useless outside those ranges), AND the player movement speed is so fast that you actually have a fair chance at avoiding snipers and shotgun rushers. Movement speed in Destiny is so slow that you rarely have time to avoid a sniper who has their sights trained on you.

Also, maps are bigger in Titanfall
