I think they will change it. I've never seen this much commotion over a proposed change to the game. I predict a huge loss of the player base if this goes through. The difference now is that many players bought the base game and three expansions on the strength of the bungie brand and the Halo name. With money still in players pockets and players wary of bungie's value proposition after TDB and HOW bungie needs to tread carefully. Many players asked for the damage done to auto rifles in 1.1.1 to be fixed , many players wanted shotgun effectiveness reduced , many , many players are happy that thorns effectiveness is reduced. No one asked for changes to BH , IB or Ghally. Hawkmoon should also be left untouched as the chance of a one hit kill is so slim , in a weapon who's perks are all based on luck that it's almost the main identity of the gun. It's too much at a time when a lot of players are on the verge of stopping playing altogether.
