So I'm guessing they're scrapping the Senital Beam for the return of the flamethrower.
Shame.
I might have been the only one...but I really liked the Sentinal Beam. Pinpoint accuracy, high beatdown (on par with that of the rocket launcher), and quick to drain shields. Practically an impromtu shotgun. 1 to 2 seconds of continuous fire and your opponants shields are as good as gone, then follow up with a quick beatdown.
O Sentinal Beam,
I will miss thee.
