The playlist updates are setting a dangerous precident. If a perfectly balanced weapon combo (PP/BR) can be removed simply because it gives some players an advantage, what's to stop Bungie from further leveling the playing field by removing the next-most-effective weapon or combo. Oh yes, there will most certainly be a successor to the PP/BR combo, and once it reaches a certain level of popularity Bungie may decide to remove it. All voice communication must be banned during gameplay, of course, because it can lead to better communication and give a team of headset users a powerful advantage over a team of mutes. Where does it stop? Maybe by 2006 we will be running around perfectly symmetric (e.g. boring) maps using the only weapon that hasn't been banned - the single SMG. Then somebody will decide that the single SMG is much too powerful, and Bungie will replace it with a Nerf gun. Do you know what you're left with when you remove all of the dynamic components of combat from a combat game? Rockem Sockem Robots... that's what.
I realize that Bungie is in favor of democratic gameplay, and I certainly applaud them for removing legitimate problems like greifing. But this is a silppery slope, and I hope they know what they're doing.
