If their not going to reduce the beat down damage, they should at a minimum reduce the range of it. Someone who is ten feet from you should not be able to dash across the map. This would make them less effective, and make beat downs a more skillful move.

Reduced the rate of fire for the sniper. Take the Ghost off Snowbound, otherwise it turns into "take over the basement," and frankly that's gettin old. Bigger clips for the SMG. Allow land mines to be used in multiplayer. NO MORE SWORDS IN LONE WOLF. if I wanted to play swords I would play rumble pit. More shotty snipers in team slayer........I think that covers it.
