Lol brainwashed. It's not that the black hammer was good or not it's just bungie increasing ttk thus making you play longer for no actual reason other than for them to look good on people's time spent on the game. It's not like they are increasing rewards or accommodating time spent to better rewards. Same shit just now will take you twice as long. Where's the fun in that? The black hammer is just one example of unneeded nerfs. What's wrong with ice breaker? It was fine as it was. Both guns were situational, like a nightfall with limited ammo; they were not overpowered.
