You were either in low skill lobbies or have rose tinted glasses of a few good moments. The active reload hammerburst downed you in like 3 headshots in that game and it let you tap fire as fast as you wanted. It was insanely frustrating when one competent guy was using it, when you ran into a stack it was impossible to play close quarters with a shotgun because you'd get teamfired down in a quarter second.
It turned any high skill match into endless turtling until one guy got bored and decided to rush the power weapon, only to die immediately. Very unfun and not engaging gameplay.
But like I said at least they learned their lesson, as evidenced by the hammerburst getting nerfed to shit in gears 3.
