Okay, so...I just feel the need to vent right now. Had a stressful day and this issue is the one that's pushing me over the edge.
The new infections have effectively killed all viability cloaking had (they even highlight the place your enemy has to shoot). I've made a post pointing this out, and I've also seen another about the same issue.
Both posts have people that are actually supportive of cloaking getting destroyed, and keep telling people to "get kills the [i]proper[/i] way" or some ****. I'm sorry, but what? I wasn't aware there was a "proper" way to get kills.
Point and shoot? Is that all this game is to these people? Point and mash trigger until enemy dies? I'm willing to bet these are the same people who complain when people slide, blink, and dodge roll. It's also people like this that, once they see someone doing something new, they can't be bothered to find a counter and just scream "nerf!"
To those people, I say this:
"Listen, idiots, there are a multitude of ways to kill people in this game, most of which were intended to be viable by Bungie, otherwise they wouldn't have been implemented to begin with. You don't decide what the "proper" way to kill people is, and criticising others for trying something you didn't is only making you look stupid."
Invisibility was included on purpose by Bungie, thus it is intended to be a viable tactic. These infections, although likely temporary, have butchered it. We are perfectly justified in pointing things out like this so that Bungie can either fix the problem or prevent it from happening again the next time something like this rolls around.
These people telling us that we have no choice but to make permanent changes to the way we play the game is uncalled for and rude.
So, to the people that have irrational and unjustified hatred of certain mechanics and choose to criticise others for using said mechanics: Screw off, nobody wants you here.
